[electricity zapping] LAURA: Come on, bud.
You don't slither into Delaware from the Plorble Realm
to hang out in the Hamboni's parking lot, okay?
[electricity zapping] - [yelping]
- Why are you here? What's your plan?
[electricity zapping]
More? Okay.
[chain saw buzzing]
- Spit it out, you goblin fuck.
- Ladies' night!
I'm finally getting you out of the house
and into The Coconut Hole--
frozen fireballs served by bulging hunks in tight shorts.
- Yeah, change of plans, Darlene.
I got my hands full right now.
Bastards like this keep showing up.
I think they're drawn to Chrissy or something.
- Uh-uh, no more living like you're in witness protection.
You promised tonight's the night.
Chrissy's at her dad's for the weekend.
- Which means I actually have a night to myself,
and I'd rather not spend it surrounded by
spray-tanned lemmings drinking daiquiris
until their Cialis kicks in.
- Listen, I get it.
After my first marriage ended,
I was terrified to get back out there, leave the house.
- I'm not scared. I have a routine and I like it.
DARLENE: I'd make up excuses: "Gotta fix a leaky pipe."
"I have syphilis." - This is not an excuse.
I don't have time to dick around with dicks.
- But then Tia Saltzman
forced me out onto the dance floor,
and a phoenix Darlene rose from the goddamn ashes.
- Aah! I'll go out if you just stop talking, okay, Darlene?
DARLENE: Yes! - You, don't get cozy.
I'm coming back for your ass.
Okay, one drink, though. - Watch out, Middletown.
It's Laura and Darlene's big night out!

masturbating in two separate corners.
- Ooh, cutie at five o'clock. Hot tip: take his compliment.
Then tease with a spicy little secret about yourself.
- Hi. Your soul is gorgeous.

You should see the scar from the vaginal tear I had

Maybe put some sugar in it next time.

"Have a Hula-va good time" would be a living disease.
- And surely you're perceptive enough to know

So how long have you been a serial killer?

binocular indents around your eyes,
minor abrasions on your forearm and cheekbone.
Last one put up a fight?
And either you're Forrest Gump, or...
[inhales sharply] Ooh, yup, that's a billy club.

Ketamine, really?
You trying to murder me or disappoint me?
Mama's got the antidote, though.

I was doing a thing. - Thing? What kind of thing?
He was about to chop you up.
- Yeah, that's what serial killers do,

And here you are in a dark alley with another monster?

You lure innocent Instacart shoppers

DARLENE: Laur, I'm gonna be blunt.
I've read enough Brené Brown

- Darlene, what the hell?
I told you to watch the door.
Liquesco is a fragile

It can open fissures to hidden corners of the Earth,
but if any type of liquid touches it--
- [slurring] This looks like as good a place as any
to urinate.
- No! Motherfu--
- Ew. Ugh.
How much longer is this gonna be?
You couldn't have just, like,

- You'd think they'd have a better system by now,
but the only way to travel to other realms
on this plane of existence is public transportation.
- We're going to another realm?
- The Metaphysical Realm is just one of a shit ton
across the Demicorporeal Plane.
Imagine this whole place as a shopping mall
and the realms are like the stores in it.
The one we're going to is like Hot Topic
but with fornication and genocide.

Cringey Christ.

from all corners of the realms.
Will our vermin survive, or will they go bye-bye?
