On a rooftop were a red cup and a blue mug and both of them rushed up to the edge, Cuphead carrying a loaf of bread. He almost drops it over the edge and he flails his arms forward and grabs it.

"Stop, thief! I'll have your hands for trophies street rats!" Yelled a voice the boys know all too well.

Captain Brineybeard.

They both look back, then down, then at the bread in the cup's hands. "All this for a loaf of bread?" He asked confused.

Mugman sighed, "This city is always overdramatic."

They both jump off, landing on two ropes strung between buildings, with drying clothes on them. The two brothers skies down them, collecting bits and pieces of clothing on them as they go.

"Hey, laundry day!" Cup said laughing earning an eye roll from his brother.

Finally, they were nearing the end of the rope, at a window, when a woman saw them coming straight at her then she screamed reaching out, and slamming the shutters closed.

Cuphead slams into the shutters first with a yell and then Mugman following after on his brother and then they fell to the street, their fall is broken by numerous awnings and the pile of clothes around them.

Mugman pulls the top layer of clothes on them when Cuphead was about to enjoy his bread, "Bro no! We can't eat it out In the open!" He scolded him.

Cuphead sighed, "Fine, but what were we're doing?" He asked.

"There they are!" One of the guards called out finding them. "You two won't get away so easy!" Another guard said.

Cuphead looked up at them and smiled holding up the bread in his hand, "You think that was easy?" Mugman shook his head, "It's not easy getting food here."

The brothers looked over at three women, laughing at them.

Captain Brineybeard was on the rooftop with the other guards, "You two, over that way, and you, with me. We'll find them."

Mugman pulls a sheet over him and wraps himself as a disguise then gestured for his brother to do the same.

Cuphead caught on and did the same disguise as his brother and rushes over to the women. "Morning ladies." He greeted them with a charming smile.

"Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we Cuphead and Mugman?" She said to them leaning on her window sill.

"Trouble? No way." He said chuckling.

Mugman nodded, "You're only in trouble if you get caught-" before he could finish his sentence two hands grabbed him and his brother's shoulders and yanked them back then their disguises fell off.

"We're in trouble!" Exclaimed Cuphead.

"...and this time--" the captain was interrupted when Mugman pulled the guard's turban down over his eyes and Cuphead kicks him down as they both got out of his grip.

"Great thinking bro!" He said giving him a high five.

"Come on, Let's get outta here!" Mugman told him as they both ran.

"Cue for a song!" Cuphead sang out.

~Play song~

Gotta keep...one jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal what I can't afford
That's everything!

Cuphead battles a guard wielding a sword and he dodges a couple of swings, then pulls down the guard's pants. Mugman gives the guard a raspberry then dodges his attack.
