Come with me to the Inkwell Isles.
It's just off the coast maybe 29 miles.
Where there's good and there's bad then there's in between.
With Cuphead and Mugman, you'll see what I mean.
Ice cream and rockets trouble never ends.
Watch these ding dongs as they make new friends. (ticky tack, ticky tack)
They'll need some help just to stay on track.
Oh no there's that guy, you better watch your back!
So if you're lookin' for fun (yes we're lookin' for fun)
and a dash of heebie jeebies (we got the heebie jeebies)
pack your bags and let's go!
Welcome to the Cuphead Show!
This is The Devil's Pitchfork,
episode number 108B, where Cuphead finds the devil's pitchfork
and uses it to have fun and wreak havoc, inciting the devils ire.
We're inside the devil's headquarters. His bedroom. It's morning.
Knock knock knock knock knock.
A door opens. Henchman enters,
pushing a tray with food and a newspaper.
The devil is curled up in bed.
Boss! Wakey, wakey!
Aw, Boss, you been here for days.
Come on, get up.
Look what a beautiful day it is.
He opens the curtains.
Souls are being tortured outside.
The devil curls back up under the covers.
I know what'll cheer you up.
Just listen to these headlines:
Invasive beetles devastate crops.
Meteor hurtling towards orphanage.
Ooooh! Meteor!
Four horses of the apoca-ma-lypse on the loose.
What a time to be the devil, huh?
Hey! There's a review!
Of you!
The devil sits up suddenly interested.
What's that? Oh, give me.
Once in a rare while, a figure commands our respect,
summons our fears and effortlessly tempts us into unhinged depravity.
Did you hear that, Henchman?
Unhinged depravity!
For a millennia
it was clear without debate who that figure was.
After a recent string of humiliating setbacks however,
it has become blatantly apparent that the devil is losing his touch.
A silly caricature of his once powerful self.
Time to pass the walking stick on the next contender.
It's a pitchfork!
The devil throws the paper into the air and roasts it with his pitchfork.
He curls up, back in bed.
Stupid critic, what does he know?!
Hey, you know what I'd do if I was you?
I'd take my pitchfork and have some fun!
Go to the surface, torment some souls,
blow off some steam!
I'm just saying, you are the devil after all.
You know Henchman, you're right.
I am the devil.
I need to get out there and be the devil I was born to be!
Oh, thank you, Henchman.
I'm about to make a lot of people very miserable!
He grandly floats out.
That's my boss.
Back at the cottage.
It's daytime.
Cuphead sits with his eyes closed.
Now can I look?
Not yet!
How about now?
No, no, no, wait, wait!
Tah dah!
Cuphead removes his hands from his eyes
and sees a homemade tandem bike.
You mutilated our bikes!
It's a present!
I made our bikes into a tandem bike!
Now we can ride our bikes together.
We already did ride bikes together.
Separately!
Well, now we can ride our bikes together...together!!
Do we always have to do
everything together?
You hate it.
I should probably try it out before I judge.
Great. Let's go.
Cuphead and Mugman speed away on the tandem bike.
Mugman pedals with glee!
Cuphead is significantly less enthused.
Yippeeeee!
Exterior. The Inkwell Isles.
Classical music, over the sun beaming down on a peaceful city.
The devil poofs in on a hill.
He uses his tail to pop kids' balloons.
A little old lady sits on a park bench, feeding the pigeons.
The devil enters behind her.
He zaps a pigeon that grows into a giant mutant pigeon.
The pigeon eats the old lady.
The devil poofs the top of a stop sign.
He changes all the stop signs at an intersection into green go signs.
The car swerve and crash into one another.
Now the devil is in his dragon form,
chasing people through the streets.
Back on the hill, later, the devil
sits on the top of the hill contentedly, leaning against a tree.
In front of him, Inkwell city is on fire.
Lost my touch?
I think not!
Bing! The elevator appears.
Henchman steps out.
Hiya, Boss.
So how'd it go?
It was great.
I feel like my old wicked self again.
Details! I want details!
Very well, Henchman.
First I tortured some children,
then I blew up- The elevator closes and disappears.
We pull back to reveal the devil's pitchfork - that he forgot -
is leaning against a tree.
Meanwhile, on a rural road,
Cuphead leans back and reads a comic book.
You know what, Mugsie? I take it all back.
This is some great bike!
Mugman is doing all the pedaling.
Hey, uh...
You mind pedaling faster?
I could use a little breeze back here.
A breeze, huh?
You know what?
You're a real pain in my--
STOP!
LOOK!
Mugman skids to a stop
and they see the devil's pitchfork is leaning against the tree.
Is that what I think it is?
It can't be.
Oh, but it is!
Cuphead hops off the bike and moves towards the pitchfork, reaching for it.
Wait!
Don't touch it.
What if only the devil can use it?
But what if anyone can use it?
Back in the devil's headquarters later, the elevator doors open.
An upbeat, refreshed devil emerges, along with Henchman.
The sound of screaming!
Oh, what a delicious day.
Oh, precious memories.
Just me and my pitchfork...
The devil reaches over, but nothing's there!
Uh-- Uh, uh....
Where's my pitchfork?
Ohhhhhhhh!
Ahhhhh!
It dawns on him. He left it behind.
We hard cut the wooded area, tin cans lined up on a log.
Ready, aim, fire!
Kapow! The entire log explodes.
Reveal Cuphead's toppled over from firing the massive pitchfork.
You OK?
This thing sure packs a wallop!
I think we'd have more control if we both held on to it.
Funny...
I thought you didn't want to do everything together!
Did I say that?
Mmmhmm!
Well, if it makes you feel any better,
there isn't anybody else I'd rather go around blowing up stuff with.
Aw, gee, Cuphead...
Now let's go blow stuff up!
Yeah!
And with that, we cut to the woods.
They run through, blowing stuff up, having the time of their lives.
Meanwhile,
back in the underground, the devil frantically looks for his pitchfork.
He looks under his throne cushions.
Nothing's there.
It's not under here.
Ohh, it's not back there!
Where is it?
Did I have it with me in the elevator?
Duh, I don't know.
Well look around!
Find it!
Duh, calm down.
Ah! You calm down!
Well, let's retrace our steps.
Where did you have it last?
Well, I mutated some pigeons in the park.
And then I went to the zoo and released all of the carnivores.
And then I set the city on fire.
And then... and then...
Oh!
I left it against that tree!
We're back in the forest.
Cuphead and Mugman explode all the trees in the forest.
While they're riding it,
the pitchfork suddenly levitates up into the air.
Oh, this is new!
Cuphead and Mugman fly off on the pitchfork as -
FWOOSH!
- the devil's elevator appears in the field.
The devil and Henchman step out.
That pitchfork is not there.
Oh!
It was right here!
I'm sure of it!
Wow. Nice work, boss.
You really burnt everything up.
I didn't do that.
Which means someone has my pitchfork!
Cuphead and Mugman are flying behind the devil, far up in the sky.
The devil doesn't see them.
Hey Mugsie, I wonder what else this thing can do.
Well, there is something I've always wanted to try.
Cut to inside of a very fancy restaurant.
Mugman uses the pitchfork to twirl a big bite of spaghetti.
This is what you always wanted to try?
Give me that!
Cuphead grabs the pitchfork and zaps around the restaurant.
We reveal a ham grows an eyeball and glares at its diner.
Cuphead zaps diners' spaghetti.
They all come alive, now with the blinking meatball eyeballs.
Across the room,
the angry ham eyes its diner hungrily.
The ham attacks the diner, and latches onto his face.
Then a spaghetti monster attacks a horse diner.
Aaaahhhhhh!
Another spaghetti monster attacks a pear girl!
Ahhhh!
Sherman's spaghetti springs up and latches onto his face.
Sherman's girlfriend Doris looks on, offended.
So, are you going to introduce me to your little friend?
Cuphead and Mugman watch as the food continues to attack.
Terrified diners.
Uh...
Maybe we should go.
Coming outside, Cuphead and Mugman exit casually.
Mugsie old boy, earlier today when you mutilated our bikes,
you did something nice for me.
Now I want to mutilate something nice for you.
We cut to a field.
BAM! BAM! ZAP!
Cuphead carves something with the pitchfork while Mugman faces the other direction.
Can I look now?
Not yet.
Almost there.
Mugman takes his hands off his eyes and stares ahead in shock.
Cuphead!
Patience!
Cuphead continues to blast away with the pitchfork.
Bang! Zzzzz... The pitchfork fires a final zap.
Cuphead smiles.
Tah dah!
He's made a Mount Rushmore of Mugmen.
A Mount Mugman.
It's "Mount Mugmore." What do you think?
Very nice.
The devil stands right behind Cuphead.
Aww, thanks devil.
But actually I, uh--
uh--
The devil!
I believe you have something of mine.
Hand it over!
Uh..
OK. Sure.
Uh... Sorry.
We were just horsing around, you know?
The devil reaches for it and - zap! - the pitchfork zaps him.
Gimme tha-- Owowowowow!
Oh, wow.
Sorry!
That- that was an accident.
Here!
Give me that--
Ow, ow, ow, ow, owowow!
Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
Cuphead realizes what he has in his hands.
He gives a mischievous smile.
He holds out the pitchfork to the devil again, and...
Give me tha-- Owowowowow!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Ok! Ok! Sorry!
Really! Seriously. Here you go.
One... two... Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Oh! Oh!
You're doing that on purpose!
Uh... Uh...
Gimme that. Oh!
Oh! Ow, ow, ow.
The devil looks at them both, rage building.
You think this is funny?
You think you have the upper hand?
Just because you have my pitchfork
and your soul debt has expired?
D'oh...
Uh... expired soul debt?
Mugman marches over between Cuphead and the devil.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold it! Stop everything!
Did you just say expired soul debt?
He just said expired soul debt.
Wait, wait.
Let me get this straight.
I no longer owe him my soul and I have his pitchfork?
Oh, the humiliation.
Oh, wow.
Now this is just sad.
I mean, it's not even fun anymore.
Here, you should have this.
It belongs to you.
And you won't zap me?
No, I promise.
Thank you.
I'm--
Ow! Ow, ow, ow.
The devil gets charred.
Henchman watches the scene, nervous.
Aw jeez.
Cuphead and Mugman continue to laugh.
Did you see?
And suddenly
BOOM!
The devil's gone. The wind blows ominously
as the devil's voice echoes through the forest.
You have taken something of great value to me
So I shall take something
of great value to you!
Pfft! There's nothing you can take from me that I care about.
An off-screen WOOSH!
Cuphead turns and sees the devil inside his own elevator
and he's got Mugman!
Say goodbye to Cuphead!
Goodbye to Cuphead.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ahh! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Slam! The elevator doors shut.
It disappears. Cuphead is left all alone. Completely devastated.
Mugman?
Mugsy?
Yeah, this one doesn't end on a happy note.
Thanks for watching!
Bye!
Toodleoo!
Bye everybody! Bye!
