Seated around a long conference table are The Big Bifford and Earl the Popcorn Salesman. There are a lot of empty chairs, highlighting the fact that most of Team Bifford is gone.
Bifford: Where the hell is everyone?
Earl: Buffy, Aunt Bella, and your exwife are building an army of islanders who are progressing through ages of humanity at an alarming rate..
Bifford: Yes, but what about the rest of our team?
Earl: Well, Boris can’t get back in the country.. visa issues, he’s not vaccinated for anything including Measles… Kenny is in jail, Cornelius Cook is trying to get him out.. Aunt Bella killed Martin Ka’Berryon, Martin Ka’Berryon’s ghost and his father’s ghost are off exploring the cosmos..
Bifford (sighing): And I’m being blackmailed.. how is a guy supposed to tell his redemption story with all these distractions?
Earl: Well.. the marketing department put together a pretty slick video.
Earl motions to the projector screen on the wall and the video plays. Bifford watches it and nods his head in appreciation. “That’s good,” Bifford said, “is that from Kelly in the marketing office?” Earl nodded.
Bifford: She’s gonna get a good Christmas bonus this year..
Earl (glaring at Bifford): We’re all getting the Cheese of the Month club again, aren’t we?
Bifford stands and gathers his things and begins leaving while mumbling something about being on a tight budget.
