[Holloway] Or broke into a sewage plant tooka swim.
[Steins] Really, If you think about it, wedid them a favor.
[Holloway] Umm-Hmm.

(05:24):
[They get out of the car and stroll up thestreet.]
[Steins] You brought your gun, right?
[Holloway] Gun?
I brought this bad boy.
[Holloway pumps a shotgun.]
[Steins] Good call.

(05:50):
[An odd sound echoes in the distance.]
[Holloway[ What the hell was that?
[Steins] Sounded like it came from over there.
[Holloway] What, from that dark doorway inthe side of the bridge?
[Steins] Come on.
Let's check it out.
[Steins & Holloway march through an undergroundcave.]

(06:13):
[Holloway] So what's our backstory?
[Steins] Say again?
[Holloway] Like my bum's name is Leroy.
And I'm thinking he fell on hard times whenhis girlfriend left him.
[Steins] They're not gonna ask us for a resume.
[Holloway] If I'm gonna play Leroy, I needsome motivation.
[Steins] Yeah whatever.
[Holloway] So Leroy's girlfriend, her name'sEmily, she left him.

(06:36):
And after that he just kind of gave up onlife.
Every time he'd looked over at the guest bedroomhe'd see the crib, and he'd know that's where
their baby would have slept.
I'm thinking...
[The odd sound is louder, closer.]
[Steins] We're getting close.
[Holloway] To what?

(06:56):
[Steins] Some sick shit!
[Holloway] I can't believe people pay forstuff like this.
[Steins] That's the difference between meand you.
I did a semester in college.
[Holloway] What, so you're more worldly?
[Steins] No, I pledged a fraternity.

(07:24):
[Steins] There's a light up ahead.
That must be where they've got the arena setup.
[The odd sound reverberates through the largechamber.]
[Holloway] What the hell is that?
[Steins] It's huge.

(07:44):
It's, it's like half pig and half squid.
[Holloway] I think it's looking at us.
[Steins] Get down!
[They drop to the floor.]
[Holloway] What is it?
[Steins] It's like if an eight-foot-tall squidfucked an eight-foot-wide pig.
[Holloway] Should we should we call animalcontrol?
[Steins] What?

(08:05):
We just got promoted from bicycle cops toreal ones.
You want to be known as the cops who can'thandle their shit?
[Holloway] Okay, let's slowly get up and peekover the ledge.
[Squid-Pig] [Rattles Chains.]
[Holloway] Look, it's chained to the wall.
Someone's keeping it captive.

(08:26):
[Mad Scientist] Well, I see you have foundmy radioactive Squid-Pig.
[Holloway] Hey, didn't your mama tell you,it's rude to sneak up on people?
[Steins] From the white lab coat to the Glockhe's pointing at us, I would gather he's a
mad scientist.
[Mad Scientist] Soon the world will know mywrath, after I unleash my army of giant squid-pigs.

(08:50):
The world will bow before me.
No longer will I have to listen to peoplelike you.
I will be the authority.
I will be the one in control.
[Holloway shoots the Mad Scientist.]
[Steins] Man good shot.
[Holloway] I couldn't listen to another secondof his socialist BS.

(09:10):
[Mad Scientist] I... will... have...
my... revenge.
I... will... take... over... the... world....
[Steins shoots the Mad Scientist five moretimes.]
[Holloway] Wow, quick thinking.
[Steins] Yeah, you saw him.

(09:32):
He was just about to jump off the floors comeat us.
[Holloway] Commie sucker.
[Steins] Check it out.
The Squid-Pig... It's
[Holloway] It's it's on the loose.
[Steins] What's that?
[Holloway] I think it's a portal.

(09:55):
[Steins] To another dimension?
To a place where other squid-pigs live?
Populated by tentacles and corkscrew pig tails?
[Squid- Pig slides into the portal, whichcloses behind her.]

(10:28):
[Steins] I guess that's that.
347 B solved.
[Holloway] Man, I could really go for someJack in the Box, maybe some jalapeno poppers.
[Steins] Next stop drive thru, milkshakeson me.
