lyrics

GEOFFREY GAMELAN: (via Tubaman's phone) Testing, testing;
one, two, three! Geoffrey to Tubaman! Geoffrey
to Tubaman! Come in, please! Are you there?!

TUBAMAN: I'm listening.

GEOFFREY GAMELAN: Just thought I'd call to tell you you're on the
right track. The sewers is a good place to start!
In fact, I'd even go as far as to say you're
getting warm! QUITE LITERALLY! -
(uncontrollable manic laughter)
- Let's just say I hope you can
withstand a nuclear BLAST! - (uncontrollable
manic laughter) - Oh, I crack myself up
sometimes. Over and out!

TUBAMAN: Surely I must be getting close... And... Wait...
What's That?! (MINIONS BABBLE) My Band Of
Merry Minions! You are tied up, on top of...
Ahh... Is that a nuclear explosive? I'll have to
try and defuse it. Haven't done this in years...
Let's see... Red wire; blue wire; green wire -
oh, hmm... This is tense... Ah... I think it's the
white wire... Phew... I'm still alive... Now we
just need to remove the reactor... Without...
Letting it slip... A sudden jolt and it could...
All blow up... Ah... Easy does it... Mustn't...
And... YES! I have defused the bomb!
Quickly, minions; now that we have witnesses
we can maybe convince the police to arrest
Geoffrey! We do not have a moment to lose!
Oh, and, eh... Leave your shoes by the fire at
my place... They'll dry in no time.
