EXT. SUGARLAND - BARONESS VON BON BON'S CASTLE - ENTRANCE - DAY

*Cuphead, Mugman, and Baroness Von Bon Bon run up to Baroness Von Bon Bon's castle, now Pride's castle.*

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
Ie... Jerry!
(knocks on the doors of Baroness Von Bon Bon's castle)
Wake up!

*JERRY, the castle monster, wakes up and looks at Baroness von Bon Bon.*

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
Mind letting us in, we saw Mug in there earlier and we want him to talk to us.

*Jerry shakes his head.*

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
What do you mean "no!?"

*Jerry shakes his head again.*

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
Why?

*Jerry shows the trio Pride's flag on his head.*

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
(Angry)
That big Fecking piece of Cac! I'll make him bleed for what he did to my castle, my people, and my friends!
(reloads and aims her gun)
Why I oughta-!

Cuphead:
Bonny, relax.
(To Jerry)
How did my brother get in?

*Jerry looks to his right to show the trio a crack that could fit mugman.*

Bendy:
That smarty snuck in.

Cuphead:
If Mugs can do it so can we.

INT.  BARONESS VON BON BON'S CASTLE - FRONT DOOR - DAY

*Cuphead slid through the hole. Bendy followed him by turning into liquid ink, slither between the crack, and reform back to his normal form. Baroness Von Bon Bon follows them by sliding through but she gets stuck in the hole.*

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
I... I'm stuck...

Cuphead:
... crap.

INT.  BARONESS VON BON BON'S CASTLE - THRONE ROOM - DAY

*Meanwhile the front door of the throne room was blown down. Mugman, on one the outside of the throne room, looks in furious anger at PRIDE, the devil's cocky, arrogant, boastful son.*

Mugman:
PRIDE!

Pride:
(Sips wine)
Speaking?

Mugman:
Where is she you piece of trash?

Pride:
Em... speak up. I can't hear you. Ya shy?

Mugman:
WHERE IS SHE!?

Pride:
...who she? Sally's being interrogated on where her husband is, Rumor Honey Bottoms Just escaped... or did we catch her?

*Mugman shoots a bullet right next to Pride's face.*

Mugman:
Cala Maria. Daughter of the king of Atlantis and Medusa, Sister of Queen G M. Maria! THE WOMAN I LOVED FOR MONTHS!

Pride:
Hmm... Cala Maria
(Mumbling)
Cala Maria, Cala Maria... Medusa, Queen G...
(Normal tone)
Nope... nothing, zilch... No Cala Maria I know of-

Mugman:
Liar!

Pride:
Liar...!? I mean... I know who I am. I'm the Devil's BEST child! I am the prodigy behind everything that is good for my people. I'm the hero... and you're the bad guy... so of course I would lie to you... But I'm not... I don't know who she is... I don't even know who you are... from the looks of it, you look like and sound like Wrath when he doesn't get his nap time. Now do me a favor, turn that frown upside down, and get out of my home before I slaughter y-

*A ding dong of an elevator sounds. Pride and Mugman look to their left to see an elevator door open and Cuphead, Mugman, and Baroness Von Bon Bon.*

Mugman:
(Confused)
Ho- How di-

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
Built in elevator... all the princesses have it.

Pride:
How did I not see that?

Mugman:
(Angered)
SHUT UP! I want answers! And I'm getting them ONE WAY OR ANO-

*Mugman stops dead in his tracks due to Pride's telekinesis.*

Pride:
(Laughs)
Sir, man, buddy, pal... you have not a CLUE who your talking to. As I said, I'm the Devil's BEST child! The prodigy behind everything that is good for my people. And now here you are, trying to scare me?

*Pride laughs as he tosses Mugman back to the trio. Cuphead catches Mugman as Baroness Von Bon Bon aims her candy cane gun at Pride.*

Pride:
(Sarcastic)
A candy cane gun. I'm so scared.

*Pride grabs Baroness Von Bon Bon's gun with his fingertips and gets a closer look at her.*

Pride:
I'm guessing bubble gum cake? If I slice you in half, would you be rainbow?

Baroness Von Bon Bon:
Get your manky hands off of me you cunt.

*Pride tosses Baroness Von Bon Bon away. Cuphead angrily aims his finger gun at Pride.*

Cuphead:
Give me one, ONE good reason why I shouldn't blow your brains out onto the wall!?

Pride:
Because it won't work... all that gun is gonna be is a pinch on my head... you know what I'll tell you this... to all of you. I have a strength and a weakness, I'll tell you one now, and the other later. How's that?

Bendy:
Alright. Tell us how to beat you.

Pride:
Of course you'll ask that. Only weak people want to know stuff like that.

Bendy:
JUST TELL US!

Pride:
Alright, alright. My weakness... the truth.

Cuphead:
...The truth?

Pride:
YEP! Have fun figuring that out.

*Pride grabs a lever to the right of him.*

Pride:
Have fun!

Cuphead:
Hold on a second y-

*Cuphead tries to shoot Pride's hand before he pulls the lever. He did but Pride already pulled the lever, opening a trap door under the group's feet and leading them down said trap door. Pride then gets a ring on his phone. He picks it up*

Pride:
Best in the world speaking...? Yes, I kicked them out... why so serious...? THE CUPS WERE DETERMINED INDIES...? I mean of course I knew that!
(Nervous laughing; quick stop)
Shut up... they'll be dead along with the angel, wherever she is... Or I'll give Jonny Company I'm not sure now that I think about it... yes I have a deadline, tonight... I have this under control, Just get back to rounding up the old debtors and I'll take care of the cups, the ink demon, princess sugar bottoms, and double A... what..? Sure, you can eat the root pack once you get to them.

*Pride hangs up the phone.*
