Characters[]
Plot[]
Bendy performs magic tricks on a stage. His first trick is the classic rabbit-from-a-hat trick, but instead he inadvertently manages to pull an alligator from his hat, much to his own surprise. As he is being chased, Alice talks with Boris about the final act. Boris, seeing how Bendy's first act went awry, worries about his own safety as the final act requires him to be sawn in half, ala the classic saw-the-lady-in-half trick. Alice attempts to put her friend's nerves at ease with a white lie.
Once on stage, Alice assists Bendy with the second act: the levitating assistant. At first, it looks like it is doing alright. It then spins out of control, causing Alice to uncontrollably spin. Bendy tries to spin the situation in his favor by claiming it was all part of the act and names it his swirling twirling whirlwind trick. Alice stumbles off stage while asking Boris for a trash can, implying that she is going to vomit.
Entering the last act, Bendy attempts to call for his assistant. The audience, after Bendy repeats himself, is fed up with his fails and pelt him with tomatoes (one accidentally throwing "a good tomato"). Instead of sawing a wolf in half, Bendy ends his act by running off stage while claiming to make himself disappear.
As for Boris, he is busy making an entire New York pizza disappear(Id est: Eating it). The Italian chef offers another, which the lovable, gluttonous lupine accepts.
Trivia[]
- The crocodile bears a resemblance to Vector the Crocodile, a character from the staggeringly-popular Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
