Marty McFly, and Dank are shown at the bar, while Reginald Van Winslow serves them behind the counter. Nelson Tethers and Max are sitting at a table at the back.

Theodore Dudebrough and an unknown character are sitting at a table with drinks in front of them. Marzipan is sitting at the next table.}
{Cut to a close shot of Strong Sad laying sprawled out on the ground. Screams are heard, and blood runs out from his body.}
{Cut to Sam, in his noir outfit from They Stole Max's Brain!.}
SAM: It was a Kafkaesque and stormy night. There was a cone of silence around the joint.
{Cut to Sam in front of the bar, talking to Van Winslow.}
SAM: Who is your daddy, and what does he do?
{Cut to closeup of Van Winslow.}
VAN WINSLOW: Well sir, I do fancy myself a map.
{Cut to the other side of the bar, where Sam is talking to Mr. Featherly, who is standing on counter.}
SAM: You look dirtier than a muddy box of chicken strips. Why did you cross the road tonight?
{Cut to closeup of Mr. Featherly.}
MR. FEATHERLY: I got nothing.
{Cut to Sam walking towards Marzipan, with the camera aimed at the back of Marzipan's head.}
SAM: Put your arms where I can see them, murderer!
{Cut to closeup of Marzipan.}
MARZIPAN: Not on the first date, detective!
{Cut to Sam walking towards TYCHO, with the camera aimed at the back of Tycho's head.}
SAM: OK, you're clearly up to no good, put the d20 on the ground, slowly.
{Cut to closeup of Tycho.}
TYCHO: Look here, you odious lout! I haven't killed someone in... at least two days. [1]
{Cut to Sam walking towards TYCHO, with the camera aimed at the back of Tycho's head.}
SAM: I doubt that!
{Cut to closeup of Tycho.}
TYCHO: It looks like the jig is up! And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for this meddling PAX panel!
{Tycho pulls at his face. Everyone screams. Cut to Van Winslow who is shown screaming, with a shocked expression on his face, then to General Skun'ka-pe, who also has a shocked expression, then to Mr. Featherly who jumps up in the air and flutters his wings.}
{Cut to Tycho's table, where a velociraptor is seen jumping off the table.}
VELOCIRAPTOR: It was I, a velociraptor!
{The velociraptor opens its mouth with its tongue hanging out, makes a slightly higher pitched laughing noise, and runs towards the camera with its teeth bared.}
