Laney and Matilda are now in Laney’s workshop, about to make their way out of the case. Laney grabs a coat that hangs on the side of one of her shelves, puts it on, and climbs the latter.
She pushes the lid open, but it won’t budge.
Laney: Matilda, you didn’t lock the case, did you?
Matilda: No, I don’t think so. Why?
Laney pushes on the top, putting more force into it.
Laney: That’s strange.
Matilda: It won’t open?
Laney: It doesn’t appear so.
Matilda: So we’re stuck in here?
Laney: Yes.
Matilda: This is horrible! We’re going to die in here!
Laney climbs down the latter.
Laney: Don’t worry, I’m sure everything will turn out okay!
Matilda: How can everything be okay when we’re stuck down here without food?
Laney: If we don’t ever get rescued, we can result in eating cat food! I have quite a few bags of it, the pygmy puffs have started to eat more spiders and berries, so it’ll be alright!
Matilda: Cat food? That sounds horrible!
Laney: It beats starving to death.
Matilda, who appears frantic, stops to weigh out starving to death or eating animal food.
Matilda: Yeah alright.
A beat.
Laney: So, I suppose we do have time for a tour after all.
The screen goes black.
