Intro (Music plays)
Sammy: -Yes I understand, Mrs. Finkle, we've already been trying to get other people out of the shadow realm and promise your daughter is a priority.
Mrs. Finkle: I swear to god, I'll sue this place for everything you own for getting my little girl taken like that!
Sammy: We had no clue Debbie would do that, sir. I promise we're doing everything in our power to get her back.
Mrs. Finkle: Oh yeah? What about that Debbie character? Where the hell is she, huh?
Sammy: Big Swallow Penitentiary. Troy came by as soon as Debbie materialized in your daughter's spot and took her there.
Mrs. Finkle: Well just- Just get my daughter back goddamnit.

Sammy: Guys, Gals and Non-Binary Pals, it's been two weeks since the taking of our own Janice Finkle, intern for King Falls Am. Ben is currently setting up at Big Swallow for an interview with Debbie. Until then, you've heard our story and we want to hear yours. That number is (424) 279-3858. And line 6, you're live.
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well it's about time!
Sammy: How can I help you today, Mrs. Higginbotham?
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well if you must know, I wanted to complain about you getting everyone taken.
Sammy: I beg your pardon?
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well just following the timeline, no one was getting taken til you came along. Your boyfriend? Check! That podcast intern? Check! Janice? Check! Mr. Sheffield, even? Check, check, and check!
Sammy: You watch your mouth-
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well am I wrong?
Sammy: Yes! I didn't even know Lily's intern and Debbie was the one who took Janice and Cecil.
Mrs. Higginbotham: And your little boyfriend?
Sammy: What about Jack?
Mrs. Higginbotham: Just that! What happened to him the moment you were around?
Sammy: It was the moment I wasn't around that he disappeared.
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well, I- Um-
Sammy: All these people's disappearances are horrible. But blaming them on me with no evidence and weak correlation at best is embarrassing for you and insulting for me. Especially since these are people I care about!
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well if you really care so much, why aren't you saving them?
Sammy: What do you think I'm doing? I stayed and I am sacrificing my time, energy, and well-being in order to save Jack, to save them! I wouldn't do this if I didn't care and want to save them! Cynthia, I understand in some twisted way you are concerned. But this is not the way to go about expressing that.
Mrs. Higginbotham: Well I never!
(Phone clicks)
Sammy: That was not how I would have wanted that last minute to go. Ben, feel free to call into the hotline at any time.
(Hotline rings)
Sammy: Thank goodness. Ben?
Ben: (over the phone) Hey man. Are you ready to go?
Sammy: Uh yeah, I'm ready.
The Dark: I'm ready too.
Sammy: What's Dark doing here?
