After another unusually brief trip to the netherworld, Croaker is in a boasting mood. He declares to Snuffer all his 'assumed' triumphs with such ardor he won't let his partner speak, who is also trying to tell the other some shocking news of his own. The two go back and forth interrupting each other, Croaker being the dominant one of course. At last Snuffer gets his turn to talk and his news turns everything on its head, so to speak.
