[edit] Explanation
Cueball and Beret Guy are on a mission, intending to destroy whatever machine they are in. Except that Beret Guy tends to be a bit surreal and brought a bag for holding pastries instead of explosive charges.
This is apparently not the first time he's done something like this, mistaking a mission for a trip to a bakery.
[edit] Transcript
- [Beret Guy and Cueball are rappelling down separate ropes into the interior workings of a large machine]
- Cueball: Okay, we're in the belly of the machine. You got the charges?
- Beret Guy (with beret): The what?
- [The two are standing next to some large pieces of machinery]
- Cueball [gesturing]: The explosive charges!
- Beret Guy [pulling out a bag]: I just brought this bag for pastries.
- Cueball: The hell? We're on a mission here!
- Beret Guy [looking around]: This isn't a bakery?
- Cueball [head in hand]: Oh, Christ, not this shit again.
- Beret Guy [crouching by some lug nuts lying on a piece of machinery]: What about these scones?
- Cueball: Those are lug nuts.
- Beret Guy [stuffing them in his mouth]: ...Maybe SOME of them aren't. crunch Ow! crunch
