(The scene opens with a shot of Imp City that slowly zooms in on the I.M.P building. The sound of the busy streets can be heard in the background. The scene transitions to a closed door labeled "IMP Headquarters", with a crude sign made from a sheet of notebook paper that reads, "Meeting in progress" with a smiley face drawn next to it. The light flickers as the camera zooms in on the door. Inside, Blitz is walking in front of a whiteboard on the wall as he lectures his employees. Blitz was wearing maternity clothes for his seven-month pregnancy)

Fizzarolli: I always knew you were the woman in your love life.

Blitz: Shut up, Fizzarolli!

BLITZ: Alright. Now, I know business has been... a bit slow lately, yes. It's no one's fault, okay? I'm not naming any names here... *looks at Moxxie* Moxxie.

(Moxxie gives him an incredulous look in response.)

That got a few laughs from Fizzarolli, Loona, and Barbie Wire while Moxxie just gave Blitzø a deadpanned look who just smirked at the little imp.

BLITZ: Now, does anyone have... any bright ideas on how we can get business drummin' up again?

MILLIE: *eyes sparkling* What about a car wash?

BLITZ: This is Hell, Millie. No one cares about cars being clean here, okay?

Barbie: He's not wrong.

BLITZ: *thinks for a second* Wh- Ooh! What about a billboard?

MOXXIE: *rolls eyes* We can't afford a billboard, sir.

Verosika: Shocker.

BLITZ: (wraps his arm over Moxxie's shoulder) Helpful, Moxxie. Really glad you're in the room right now. (pushes Moxxie away) Have you guys forgotten what service we provide?

(Blitz turns on a TV that shows the I.M.P. crew brutally murdering people from the overworld as they are paid to do. Blitz whacks a man in the face with a mallet, Moxxie is blown away firing a shotgun through the mouth of a man tied to a chair, Loona swings a man back and forth in her mouth, and Millie decapitates someone with a harpoon and laughs. Then, it zooms out to everyone watching the TV, with Loona, Millie, and Blitzø eating popcorn.)

Barbie and Fizzarolli were a little stunned seeing what Blitz's company does.

Fizzarolli: From a clown to an assassin. Didn't see that coming.

Blitz: At least someone sees my talent.

Stolas: Um, Blitzy, you're pregnant. Are you sure you should even be out in your condition?

Blitz: It's fine, Stolas.

BLITZ: Ahh. Those are the good times.

MOXXIE: I don't need any reminding sir. Considering you blew most of our salaries on an obnoxious TV ad last week. One that you then additionally paid to have run for a full three hours on a channel, nobody watches.

BLITZ: Uh, hey. Excuse me? What's "obnoxious" about a super-fun jingle, alright? It's a fun distraction when an advertisement's spittin' bullshit!

MILLIE: People love musicals, sir.

BLITZ: Exactly, Millie! And we're basically doin' a musical. (does jazz hands)

Loona: Even when he is pregnant, Blitz is so dramatic.

Blitz: I am not dramatic!

BLITZ: (The hormones kicked in) Are you gonna crush my musical dreams like my dad did?
