Subtitle - xxiii. "A Stirring Symphony in Four (Bowel) Movements"
(The tour approaches Warehouse 14. The rain is really heavy now and Russo is soaked through.)
Russo: Let mé guez, zis eez anothair emptay warehouse "awaiteng restokeng"?
Paine: Nosiree! We keep the septic tank in heyah.
(At a security panel next to the door, Pain swipes a card, scans his hand and then scans one of his eyes in a retina scanner embedded in the panel.)
Russo: Zis eez a lot of securitay fair a septic tank, eez eet not?
(Pain seems suddenly dramatic, looking down and sombre.)
Pain: It's not stopping people from getting in, it's what might be trying to get out.
Slymme: Have you considered advising your work force on revising their dietary intake?
Narrator: Inside...
(Inside the warehouse, there's a large green rounded septic tank against a wall. Musical notes faintly play from it.)
Russo: Eet eez a septic tank.
Paine: That's what I was tellin' ya!
Russo: Eet eez surprizeng-lee fresh een haire. Ai was expecteng a 'airribuhl sténch. Also, eez zat music ai can 'air?
Slymme: Ahem, the business practices surrounding the storage of biological waste materials is at the disgression of the company and is not subject to outside criticism [although it is a little bit weird that the septic tank appears to be playing Beethoven's 5th].
(Two faint coughs comes from the septic tank. Russo and Slymme look at the tank quizzically. Pain nervously fingers his collar, sweating.)
Paine: Aheh, that's the intake pipe backing up, I'm sure.
(Russo firecely eyeballs Paine. Slymme just smiles, placing a hand on Russo's shoulder.)
Slymme: If the good Inspector here wishes to thoroughly investigate the contents of the septic tank as part of his investigation, I'm sure we'd be happy to hold his coat-
(Russo walks away, seriously unimpressed. Pain breathes a sigh of relief.)
Russo: Non, non, eet eez fine. Ai am not clambaireng around een merde todai, thank you.
Pain: Phew!
