Transcript excerpt

Found some keys in this parking lot. I wonder if they belong to Five Below. No way. No way. I'm inside. Oh my good. This is so cool. We should probably find the lights first. Tier so weird being all alone in here. Kinda spooky. I wonder what we should do. Maybe it would be fun if we decorated the break room for the employees when they come in tomorrow. We could decorate it with some Halloween decorations. We might need some more. Get one of these spider webs. Little spiders. I'm a little thirsty. I might go get a drink. I haven't had one of these in a minute. Yeah. Okay. Let's keep decorating. I think the break room needs some pumpkins. This is my spider web and the guy that got stuck inside of it. Spooky stuff is getting eaten by spiders. I'm making really good progress. Should I get a workout in? That's enough. Oh, I'm cramping. What do you do with 50 slinkies? I don't know, but I'll figure it out. We could tape it to the door, and then it'll move every time the door opens and closes. Wait. This is amazing. Oh, I'm a hang some pumpkins from the ceiling.
