[after talking to the The Player, Black Sheep decides to go up to the faculty of VILE]
Black Sheep, why have you requested our audience?
I know I'm not technically old enough, Professor Maelstrom, but I already have what it takes to be an awesome thief. Best ever! [Maelstrom raises an eyebrow] Um, in-- in my opinion, sir.
BDr. Bellum
Black Sheep may be young, but she has had more training at her age than any recruit, even if only by osmosis.
Dr. Bellum is right. Lambsie's got gumption. I'd say she's ready to run with the big dogs.
I, for one, am not thrilled with the notion of having to endure Black Sheep's lack of manners in a classroom setting. The girl is feral.
Precisely why she might be overdue for properly supervised training, Countess Cleo. And you, Shadowsan?
ShadowsanWe are operating a vocational school, not a nursery school.
BBellum
But we've never met a case for advanced placement until now.
And last time I checked, majority vote rules.
Shadowsan
[stands up] Black Sheep, you had better be certain that becoming a professional thief is what you truly desire, for if you choose this road, there will be no turning back.
I want this more than anything, Instructor Shadowsan. And I am willing to go to the end of the line. [bows]
[Brunt, Maelstrom, Cleo and Bellum all raise their hands, but Shadowsan simply walks away]
[weeping] Our little lamb's gonna be all grown up!
[Black Sheep has found out that she's failed the semester; she comes up to Shadowsan; Shadowsan reaches his pocket and finds his keys missing]
[angrily holding Shadowsan's keys] Looking for these? [tosses the keys to Shadowsan, who catches them]
Shadowsan
Playing games? Typical.
No game. I want a do-over.
Shadowsan
And you will have it next year, once you redo your coursework.
You're not hearing me. Put on the coat. I want a do-over now.
Shadowsan
We do not bend policy for other students, so we really must stop doing it for you. Good night, Black Sheep.
The coat was empty, wasn't it?!
Shadowsan
ARE YOU ACCUSING A VILE INSTRUCTOR OF CHEATING?!
S-sorry. It's just I know I'm as good as anyone in my class. Better, even! And I know you know it, too!
Shadowsan
And you also happen to be unruly, undisciplined, AND A PRANKSTER!! I would strongly urge that you find a way to get those qualities in check since they seem to be holding you back. [leaves]
No. Nothing's holding me back. Not anymore.
[Mime Bomb, who had been spying on Black Sheep, mimes what he saw to the Faculty; first he begins to act like a chicken]
You are a chicken? [Mime Bomb nods and then flaps his arms] Chickens do not fly.
Who here thought it was a good idea to make a mime a spy?
[watches as Mime Bomb makes bird movements with his hands] Fly the coop? [Mime Bomb jumps and points to his own nose] Black Sheep's run off with the others.
Shadowsan
Hmm...
We could have quite a mess on our hands.
[Crackle now tells his side of the story; it starts when Crackle and the others graduate with the others]
BDr. Bellum
Graduates, you did not make it this far on your grades alone.
We have been profiling you all along, to test your allegiance as well as your willingness to go to any necessary extremes.
Shadowsan
No one or thing must stand in the way of achieving our goals.
You've earned your place at our elite table.
Now hear the true name of VILE: Villains' International League of Evil.
