* DumbassHasAPoint: Duncan was ''right'' when he pointed to the first aid kit when Red Guy asked where the singing briefcase was. Which is odd considering that they walked in the ''opposite'' direction.

Duck Guy has a breakdown and throws Yellow Guy's card into the shredder -- which causes Yellow Guy to stick his hand in it and ''tears his arm apart''.

The Briefcase continues his song from the start as if nothing happened at all and warps the trio back home as their original selves.

Instead, the Briefcase tosses them a gold coin for his hard work that [[EyeScream lodges into Duck Guy's eye]].
