(Start on the second Inkwell Isle, which is themed after an amusement park. CUPHEAD and MUGMAN are walking around admiring the scenery.)
Cuphead-The second isle has always been my favorite. We have to do our best not to get distracted.
Mugman-(pointing at something) What's that over there?
(He's pointing at a cupcake-shaped building with a sign that says "Baroness von Bon Bon's Candy Castle".)
Cuphead-Forget what I just said. We're getting some dessert!
(Cut to the inside, which appears to be a lavishly decorated candy shop/bakery. The proprietor, BARONESS VON BON BON, a young woman in a pink gown with a literal candy cane, sees CUPHEAD and MUGMAN enter and comes out to greet them.)
Baroness von Bon Bon-Welcome to Baroness von Bon Bon's Candy Castle!
Cuphead-You mean like that one over there?
(He points to a pink castle to the side that looks like it's decorated with frosting.)
Bon-Bon-No. It's confusing, isn't it?
(Cut to a few minutes later. CUPHEAD is holding a plate piled with sweets and digs in, while MUGMAN has one cookie.)
Mugman-Don't get a sugar rush, Cuphead!
(BON BON approaches them.)
Bon-Bon-So how are you enjoying your dessert?
Cuphead-(with his mouth full) Deeeeeelicious!
Bon-Bon-Glad to hear it. Baking and candy-making have always been my passion. I like to think of myself as a candy queen with a candy castle and candy subjects.
Cuphead-But isn't a baroness lower than a queen?
(BON BON sneers and smacks CUPHEAD with her cane.)
Cuphead-I think we started off on the wrong foot. Hello. I'm...
(He tries to curtsy, but he realizes he's a dude and bows.)
Cuphead-Cuphead. This is my brother, Mugman. How are you today?
Bon-Bon-(to MUGMAN) How come they call you Mugman if you're just a boy?
Mugman-Actually, my name's supposed to be prophetic. It foretells my becoming a man in the future. Unfortunately, my brother sometimes calls me Mugboy.
Cuphead-Hey, Mugboy! Quit stealing my conversation! (to BON BON) So...how did you start making sweets?
Bon-Bon-Well, I don't normally tell people this story, but I guess I'll tell you. When I was a little girl, I had this disease where I couldn't eat too much sugar. However, that didn't stop me from sneaking lollipops out of the candy shop every day. One fateful day, however, all that sugar I ate caught up to me, and I fell into a coma. When I woke up, I expected the first people to visit me would be my parents to scold me for eating so much sugar behind their backs, but instead, it was Old Scratch himself!
Mugman-Is that the Devil?
Bon-Bon-Yes. As I was saying, while he was there, he made me an offer: he would cure me of my disease so that I would never have to worry about eating too much sugar again, and all he asked in return was my soul. I was only six back then, so I immediately sprang for the option that let me keep eating sugar. My love of sweets hasn't subsided since, and when I got a little older, I opened this little beauty.
(While she's talking, MUGMAN opens the list and reads it. He nudges CUPHEAD.)
Cuphead-(whispering) What is it?
