I can't believe we got double-crossed by a tiny rodent!
Oh, we got double-crossed by a rodent all right. But, uh, not a tiny one.
What?!
This was supposed to be us conning Marmalade. It turns out it was Wolf conning us! Does that sound familiar to you, Wolf?!
Why-Why would you think that?
Oh, I don't know! Maybe because you just sabotaged the biggest heist of our lives! I think you owe us an explanation, buddy.
Okay, you're right. This is what happened. Back in the museum, I just tried to steal an old lady's purse. [gets his mugshot taken] Classic snatch and grab.
"Tried" to? Since when do you try to steal something and not just steal it?
I was trying to steal the purse when the old lady fell and... [clears his throat] I kind of helped her.
What?! [gets his mugshot taken]
I kind of helped her.
But then you stole the purse. [gets his mugshot taken]
No, [chuckles] I didn't! I saved the old lady, and she hugged me. And my tail wagged, and I didn't know what it was, but it felt, uh, you know... good. [The others, except Snake, gasp at this.]
Ah, but then you stole the purse!
NO!
Y'know, I heard what the pig said to you, about cutting us loose.
Wait. Like, "us" us?!
But I never thought you'd actually do it, man.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! I-I would never... I was trying to... I was trying to find us a better life!
Our life was perfect until you decided to ruin it!
I didn't! You guys felt it at the gala — the clapping, the cheering. We were more than-than just scary villains! They loved us!
Oh, yeah?! If they "loved" us so much, how come we're in prison for a crime we didn't commit? You know what? I'll give Marmalade this: At least he sees the world for what it is - a place where some people are scary and some people are scared!
Oh, yeah? Well, I'm tired of being scary. I'm… I'm tired of being an outcast. Maybe I don't wanna be—
What? A Bad Guy?! Don't wanna be a Bad Guy anymore, huh? Say it, Wolf! [Wolf just glares at Snake and says nothing.] Yeah, I thought so. And us, your lifelong friends? We're just holding you back?
YEAH, MAYBE YOU ARE!
TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK! APOLOGIZE!
Hey, hey, hey, hey! Prison is no place for fighting!
Tell that to him.
Huh?
[Snake, Wolf and the guards look up to see the Crimson Paw dropping from the upper floor to the rescue.]
