This blueprint, in the back of the files... It's not like the others. It looks like the device I saw Surlee working on a few weeks ago, when he scrambled to hide it. A pocket watch. According to this paper, it should be right... Here! Right in the same drawer he stuffed it in. This is a pocket watch alright, but it certainly doesn't look like the one in the blueprints. It looks like an early prototype.

Hold on. The watch is spinning. It's getting faster. The room is flickering.

The walls are crumbling around me. I can't let go!

The watch hands are spinning faster, the hour hand is in reverse! Everything is collapsing!

There are other rooms around me! No, not rooms, neighborhoods! I see Toontown's construction! I see... Cogs, in the playground! No! What's happening?!

I... I see another hand! There's another hand on the pocket watch!

Everything... Is... I'm... 

It stopped. Everything stopped. Everything.




Are you wearing my lab coat?
I do believe that you are wearing MY lab coat.
That's quite the predicament, considering your lab coat is certainly mine.
And yours is mine.

Are you...
You?
Yes.
I'd say yes, but you seem to be a dog.
And you a cat.
A Rewritten Toon.
Precisely.

I saw a glimpse of everything. I saw what he planned for.
You mean we saw a glimpse of everything.
I, we, what's the difference?
Fair point. Continue.

Doctor Surlee's prototype must have not only been incomplete, but unstable.
Time seems to be much more delicate than he knew.
With so many complex variables, some must have changed...
Like the difference between a dog and a cat.
Or a red and a blue.

Based on our surroundings, I can only guess we've been ripped away from time.
Toontown continues to run on its own clock, while ours separated?
Precisely. We're at every point in time with none to call home.
The device's imperfections created a parallel self...
A reflection of what I would have become had I stayed in the timeline.
A changed variable.
A Rewritten Toon.
An anomaly.

We're in this together now. Did you see the ripple?
I did. It seems that he stabilized the prototype, but an imperfection remained.
When he took Toontown back in time - and everyone with him...
His perfect plan encountered an unforseen hurdle.
A ripple.
An anomaly.
The 26th.

Loony Labs may be ripped away from us, but we still have research to do.
We can follow the first ripples and make sure it's kept at bay.
And if it isn't?
We have to find a way to warn him.

It seems they're ready for The Final Plan.
Assuming they've solved the whole file, of course.
Ah, yes. Because of the password.
Count the number of words in that transcript which contain the letter "p".
The resulting number will reveal the location of the password.
