Having finished eating his cookie, Sharpie the detective stands up as he addresses Smugastut the guard behind him. Tuple the guard is also there.
Sharpie: “Smugastut, get over here.”
Smugastut: “What’s up, Sharpie?”
High angle shot of Sharpie looking at Smugastut who has come closer.
Sharpie: “You’ve gone up and down the tower many times, right?”
Smugastut: “Yeah, I’ve been doing gofering for years, like everyone else.”
Sharpie: “How’s yer feet? Any injuries lately?”
Smugastut: “Nope. I’m healthy as a duck.”
Sharpie: “If you had to run down the tower carrying the equivalent of ten and a half sticks right now, could ya do it?”
Smugastut: “I just had a great nap, so definitely.”
Sharpie: “Good. Take off your hat.”
Smugastut: “Yessir.”
As Smugastut puts down their hat, small Sharpie jumps to stand on the guard's shoulders. They ride with speed out of the scene as Tuple watches on.
Sharpie: “Now, take me down the tower.”
Smugastut: “Das Law is word!”
