Transcript

Hi, oh my gosh, your last cake was so good, can I please have some more? Sure, yeah, yeah, you know what, I'll be right back. I believe him. Hey, my friend said you guys used to sell cakes? Oh yeah, we did, huh? Yeah, we're a casino now. Dude, what is this? Your cake almost killed me. Oh my, it's because the cake shares a soul with a blood goddess, it was born 777 years ago and gave birth to one daughter, the concept of a fourth dimension. The cake has lore. This cake is incredible, who baked this? I did. I'm the baker, the cashier, the store owner, the property manager, I even made that chair you're sitting on. Really? Welcome to our grand opening. This cake took 10 years of research and 18 billion dollars. So I, what's that? We're being shut down, goodbye.
