OLAF
Tell us the three phrases we need to type into the lock in order to open the Vernacularly Fastened Door.
DEWEY
You won't find anything in the laundry room, except for some piles of dirty sheets,, and Very Flammable Detergent
OLAF
My past disguises my have put you under the allusion that I am stupid, but I have more sense than that trained monkey you call a baby
SUNNY makes A NOISE
[Subtitltes : I'm not a monkey and you're definitley a baboon.]
OLAF
If there's nothing in the laundry room, why did you put a V.F.D. lock on the door?"
DEWY
It's just a decoy
CU: we see VIOLT holding DEWEY's hand. DEWEY's hand is trembling.
CU: VIOLET looks up with a concerned look on her face
OLAF
Decoy? What's a decoy?
DEWEY
A Decoy is a word with several meanings. It can refer to a corner of a pond where ducks can be captured, or to an imitation of a duck or other animal used to attract a real specimen. Or, it can mean something used to distract people, such as a lock on a door that does not contain a certain sugar bowl."
OLAF

OLAF brandishes the HARPOON GUN in a SINISTER FASHION

JEROME
You don't have to parade around in an indecent bikini in the middle of the night threatening sub-sublibrarians! You can stand with us, in the name of justice.
ESME
Let's not go overboard. Just because I'm dumping my boyfriend doesn't mean I'm going to be a goody-goody like you. Justice is out. Injustice is in. That's why it's called Injustice.
JUSTICE STRAUSS
