Aw, come on. The duck doesn’t need to be–
“He’s, uh, part of the Murder Heist.”
–part of the Murder Heist. This is not right, Bobby.
“He’s integral. No duck, no luck.”
Why have you time travelled to the Hell In A Bucket video?
“Well, you remember that last Revenger movie.”
Avengers.
“If you say so. They, uh, went back and visited themselves in order to defeat Anus.”
Thanos.
“Was that the purple guy’s name?”
Yes.
“Probably a better name for a super-villain than ‘Anus.'”
Correct.
“Although some anuses can be scary as all get-out.”
I suppose. Bobby, please stop jaunting through time to pull off a Murder Heist.
“Too late to stop now. It’s a lit-fuse situation.”
Okay. Can you at least tell me what the duck has to do with the plan?
“We’re going to be coming up on some 3D approximations of reality. But, uh, real realistic ones.”
Right. And?
“And ducks’ quacks don’t echo. So if we’re somewhere that we suspect of being composed of hard-light holograms, we just get have the duck quack at it a couple times.”
…
And?
“And, uh, problem solved.”
I’m ignoring that. Is that Billy?
“Yuh-huh.”
Did he end up kidnapping Robert Redford?
“Sure did.”
Is Robert Redford in the trunk of that Cadillac?
“Sure is. But, you know: It’s spacious as heck back there. We wouldn’t have put him in a, say, a Miata’s trunk. The man’s a star.”
Thoughtful of you.
“There’s always enough time for good manners.”
I suppose.
Billy geeked out on blow, the duck drunk on champagne, and the Sundance kid bound and stuffed in the trunk. What could go wrong
Please don’t Murder Heist me…
Plot twist prediction: that’s Brent doing duck cosplay. The hologram protection scheme will therefore fail hilariously when his ruse is revealed, with a whole ‘nother vector of hijinks to unfold in the aftermath. Agatha Cristie got nuffink on TotD . . . .
I’m starting to worry where Mickey is in all of this- did the rest of the crew tell him to prep their hideout in the King’s Chamber yet???
