At the Jolly Jack candy factory, the Jokerz present their boss with what they got.
Chucko: Bat-Troll showed up and we had to ditch. We were able to save this: the console's memory board. I know it's not much but-
Boss: It's not much? It's nothing. Losers. All of you. A disgrace to the name Joker. Why, in my day—
Bonk: In your day?! Ever since you conned your way into this gang it's been "your day" this and "your day" that.
Chucko: Bonk.
Bonk: Your day is over, old man. Even if you are who you say you are. And personally, I think you're a fake.
Boss: Ah, brave new world that has such putzes in it.
Bonk: He's got us running around ripping a lot of geek junk, but no cash! He won't tell us what his plan is, if he even has one. I want out!
Boss: If you insist.
He pulls out a gun.
Bonk: Hey, man. Take it easy. I was just kidding.
The gun only shoots a bang flag.
Boss: So was I.
He then shoots the bang flag in the chest and kills Bonk.
Boss: Oops. No, I wasn't.
The boss is revealed to be non other than the infamous Joker.
Joker: That's also how we did it in my day. You know, kids, a lot has changed while your old Uncle Joker's been away. New TrollsTopia, new rules, even a new Bat-Troll. But now I'm tanned, I'm rested, and I'm ready to give this town a wedgie again! I have to know you're with me. Will you say it for me one time?
Jokerz: We're with you!
Joker: Little louder.
Jokerz: We're with you!
Joker: Dee Dee?
Dee Dee's: We're with you!
Joker: Boys?
Ghoul and Chucko: We're with you!
Joker: Bonk? Oh, right. Dead. Dee Dee, be a lamb and sweep out the trash. There's good girls.
The Dee Dee's drag Bonk's body away.
Joker: You're renewed faith puts a smile in my heart. What say we forget tonight's misshapen and start over.
Chucko: Great, boss.
Joker: Ghoul, my boy, we're going to need another systems scanner. Who's got one they'd be willing to donate?
Ghoul: Checking. What we're after is cutting-edge. These are the only other places we'd find one.
Joker: Nope. Uh uh. No. Ah!
Ghoul: What, there? Security's gonna be tight!
Joker: Oh, yes. But think of the fun.
