*Back at the pool hall...*
Bo and Quicksilver walk out the rear entrance.
Quicksilver: "You goin' home?"
Bo Sentry: "Yeah, you want a ride?"
Quicksilver: "Sure."
Bo Sentry: "How'd you get here? Your mom drive ya?"
Quicksilver: "Hell no. I boosted a 'Vette."
Bo Sentry: "You boosted a 'Vette? Then where is it?"
Quicksilver: "I dunno. It was right here. Someone musta' boosted it back."
Bo Sentry: "Damn crooks is everywhere..."
They both smirk, and walk over to Bo's Trans Am.
Quicksilver: "Flash seemed weird, huh? What's with his clothes, he's like a farmer or something."
This seems funny to Bo, he smiles.
Bo Sentry: "Yeah, except the only thing is, he's old."
They are then confronted by two goons, who toss them against the wall.
Bo Sentry: "What do you want?!"
One goon socks Quicksilver in the gut, making him double over.
Bo Sentry: "Don't you do that! Leave him alone!"
Goon: "Shut up, Sentry."
Bo Sentry: "He's got nothing to do with this--!"
The first goon punches Bo in the side of the face, knocking him out cold on the ground.
Bo can overhear the goons while he's unconcious.
Goon 2: "Get him in the car."
Bo passes out again, but comes to in his Trans Am.
Hot white lights blind his vision through the glass roof.
The Trans Am is in the crusher.
Three figures stand above him: Chrysalis and the goons.
Chrysalis: "Hello, Beauregard."
Bo scrambles to open the door, but the doors are pinned shut by a forklift.
Bo Sentry: "LEMME OUT OF HERE!"
Chrysalis: "Oh, if only it were that easy..."
Bo Sentry: "We can still do it!"
Chrysalis nods, and the crusher presses...
The glass roof and windscreen shatter, as the metal caves in.
Chrysalis: "No. No, you can't. Flies on sherbet are what you remind me of. Because just being attracted to something, doesn't mean you belong."
In the woodshop, Shining Armor watches this scene from a monitor.
The sad thing is, though he wants to do something, he can't.
Back at the crusher, Bo still struggles to get out of the car.
Bo Sentry: "Listen Chrysalis..."
Chrysalis: "Call me Queen. Better yet, call me a bitch. Because that, is how you've treated me."
Bo Sentry: "When I get out of this, I'm gonna fuck you up..."
Chrysalis does admire his attitude. With another nod, the crusher continues to press the once beautiful Trans Am into a twisted metal monstrosity.
Bo Sentry: "Chrysalis..!"
Nothing.
Silence.
