Plot[]
Right after all the trouble they went through, the Bad Guys explain the reason of why they were 10 minutes late to the parole office.
Synopsis[]
Mr. Wolf nervously enters the Parole Office and introduces himself and his associates to their Parole Officer, as the rest of The Bad Guys enter the Parole Office. The Bad Guys are in a complete mess of bruises and messy clothes, with Wolf's face covered in blue dye, Shark holding an IV pole and wearing a respirator mask, Piranha wearing a mask of himself, covered in a tire mark and accompanied by a chicken, Webs completely fuzzed up and her face covered in soot, and Snake's neck tied in a knot. Wolf begins to explain, but the Officer stops them, stamps a document, and permits them to continue. Wolf tells her that he and his crew know they are 10 minutes late to their Parole check-in, though Piranha, after looking at the clock, corrects him by saying it was 12 minutes, and Snake smacks him on the head in response. Mr. Wolf explains to the officer what happened that led them to being late, as it is a really funny story, and, according to Shark, very "law-abiding" :
The Bad Guys were at the diner, getting breakfast since they were running early to their check-in. They are pleased to be off parole in a couple hours, and Wolf is proud that The Bad Guys didn't cause so much as one single legal infraction for 6 months. But, just as they clinked their wine glasses full of orange juice, a tow truck took Wolf's car away, implying he parked it ilegally by accident. and The Bad Guys frantically rush out of the diner, and Wolf tells the Parole Officer that his car getting towed was a valet being "generous enough" to take his car without asking.
He then tells the Parole Officer that he and his crew went to the impound lot to retrieve his car, and Wolf was giving the manager an extra generous tip. Shark was trying to get a snack from the vending machine, but couldn't, much to his frustration. Webs tells him the reason is because the vending machine is unplugged, due to too many plugs being put into the outlet extension. But Piranha, not listening, plugs the vending machine in, electrocuting Webs and causing a circuit overload that disables the crane's magnet and drops an old, blue, beat-up car right onto Wolf's car, crushing it to pieces, horrifying Wolf to the point of screaming, "AHHH! MY CAR!!!!!!".
With their car destroyed AGAIN, the Bad Guys were forced to take the bus to get to the Parole Office. The fuzzed up Webs, who is being held by Wolf, believes something to be not right and asks her friends if they took the right bus. This causes them to indirectly reveal they had no idea there was more than one bus. They were dropped off in the middle of the desert, miles from the city. But Piranha needed to go to the bathroom, and immediately runs to a gas station where there is a restroom, but also a line of scary bikers waiting there, too. Piranha tries to open the door, but it is locked at the moment, and Piranha explained to the Parole Officer that the biker went crazy on him for no reason, despite the fact Piranha actually cut in line, and the lead biker pulled him away from the door, but Piranha pulled the door off its hinges, and the biker inside screams in surprise. Piranha said that, being a master of conflict resolution, he peacefully and gracefully de-escalated the situation, but he actually reacted angrily to the lead biker calling him "chum bucket", and attempts to attack the lead biker, and Wolf was too late to stop him. Later, Wolf and The Bad Guys were beaten senseless and buried up to their necks by the bikers, which Wolf said was a relaxing mud bath rewarded to them for Piranha's efforts. Piranha urinates in the sand, and Webs noticed him smiling, and Piranha said he's doesn't need to go to the bathroom anymore, disgusting his friends.
After getting out of the sand, The Bad Guys attempted to get a rideshare, which Wolf told the Officer was an eco-friendly option. His patience worn out, and he and his friends not having any luck, Piranha steps into the middle of the road just as a truck heads his way. The truck runs over him, causing the driver to stop. Pirahna is still alive, but got the tire mark on his face. Wolf said the driver gave them a ride, but really, he just yelled at Piranha for standing in the middle of the road before getting back in and driving off, and The Bad Guys grabbed Piranha and snuck in the back. However, they realized too late the truck was delivering chickens, and Snake goes into hungry mode upon seeing them. Snake devours them all, but Wolf opens the door and forces all the chickens out of Snake's stomach and into the street. This distracts the driver and causes him to swerve, and The Bad Guys hang on for their lives. Wolf said it got a little fuzzy, but he remembers taking the scenic route.
The Bad Guys fall onto a scooter with one of the chickens and drive frantically, with Wolf hanging onto the rear of the scooter in a panic. And then a montage of events shows what happens next according to what The Bad Guys thought happened next, including driving through a construction site, knocking over a graffiti artist, smashing through a fence in an alley, hanging perilously from a helicopter, Wolf giving Shark CPR at the hospital, and Snake playing chess in the park. Finally, after all that chaos, The Bad Guys, bruised, beaten and utterly exhausted, finally make it to the Parole Office with 10 minutes to spare, but they stopped short at Wolf opening the door when two robbers storm a bank, much to their chagrin. Wolf whines about this one little thing they have to do before going into the Parole Office, despite Snake suggesting ignoring them.
Wolf said they set some rogue youths on a better path, but what really happened is...just as the robbers, who were wearing masks of Wolf and Piranha, told the terrified Bank Teller to put the money in their bag, The Bad Guys enter and Wolf compliments their outfits. The robbers are excited to see them, since they are big fans of them. Wolf congratulates them for thinking of everything, including their escape route and disabling the security cameras, including the one behind the fake plant, which Webs pointed out, and Shark pointed out the silent alarm, and Wolf asks if they DID cut the silent alarm, and the robbers, knowing they forgot about that, tell him they did, but ask him what would happen if they didn't. Wolf tells them not to worry about it, since the police's response time is...12 seconds-ish. The Robbers flee the bank in fear, and Wolf returns the loot to the Bank Teller, but not before a dye pack explodes from the bag, covering Wolf's face in blue dye.
With no time to clean up, Wolf and his crew made their way to the Parole Office, and he tells the Parole Officer that is all what happened. The officer finds the story fascinating, and Wolf insists that they are serious about turning over a new leaf and leaving their life of crime behind. The lady tells them she's convinced, much to The Bad Guys' joy, but says this is something they will need to explain to their ACTUAL Parole Officer. She reveals they arrived at the post office instead, which happens a lot, and that the Post Office is south Main Street, while the Parole Office is NORTH of main street, and wishes them good luck. Realizing that they were at the wrong place this whole time, and that they are now 3 hours 56 minutes late to their parole check-in, since Wolf spent 3 hours 44 minutes explaining what happened, The Bad Guys thank the Post Office worker for the directions and corrections, and they frantically leave to head to the Parole Office, hoping they can get there before they end up in more trouble than they were when they arrived at The Post Office.
