Scar (GoodTimesWithScar): Which lever was the one that activates the trapdoor? I think it's this one, and this is the lights.
[Scar flips the lever to turn off the lights]
Scar: [whispering nervously] Okay, okay, okay! We're all good, we're all good! [sounding more serious] Five, four, three, two, one.
[Scar flips the trapdoor lever and TangoTek is teleported into a dark room, separated from Scar by a wall of glass]
Scar: [monotonously] Welcome, Tango, to the Hermitcraft Permit Office Enforcement Containment Room of Compliance and Whimsy.
Tango: [whimpers]
Scar: How are you today, Tango?
Tango: [nervously] Uh… you know! Just working on my base, doing some things, before I just got sucked up to some other place. Wh-Why is there all this TNT here?
Scar: Please, Tango, ignore the TNT. Those are not of your concern. What is of your concern, Tango, is your incompliance with your permits. You have been warned repeatedly by the Hermitcraft Permit Office and Hermitcraft Permit Office Enforcement (aka Poe Poe) that you are not in compliance with your permits and your shops. You have outstanding permits. Am I correct in saying this?
Tango: I— I think! I think I do, yes.
[Scar flips on the light in his section of the room]
Scar: Tango.
Tango: [gasps]
Scar: It is time for you to give up those permits.
Tango: [wheezes a laugh] Okay.
Scar: Tango, do you have the permits on you?
Tango: Uhhh, nooo, ummmm, yeah, sorry. Don't— Don't carry them on me? Um?
Scar: Where are they, Tango?
Tango: I mean, I might have them here?
[Tango places an ender chest]
Scar: Please, Tango, take a moment. Go through your ender chest. And when done, please, place them in the compliance box.
Tango: [laughs] The compliance box, huh?
[Scar puts on the Permit Office music disc "Please Hold"]
Scar: As you look through there, I will play calming music.
Tango: I-I'm not so calm! Where am I, by the way?
Scar: Please, Tango. You are under the clock of one minute to find your permits or self destruction will be implemented, thank you.
Tango: S-Self what now?
Scar: Destruction.
Tango: Self dest— Self destru— What's over here?
Scar: [breaking character] Don't go down there! [stammers] You don't even think about going down there!
Tango: What's over there?!
Scar: No, you get that ender chest, mister, right now.
Tango: Huh! Okay! Let me see what I can find here. Mmm, I don't know! Things are pretty messy. I might not be able to find them.
Scar: [monotonously] Activating TNT in 20. 19.
Tango: 20?!
Scar: 18.
Tango: Hmmmm.
Scar: 17. 16. 15. 14.
[Tango shakes his head at Scar through the glass]
Scar: 13... 11.
Tango: Do you need help counting?
Scar: [snickers]
Tango: [laughs] Come on! Come on! Are you gonna do it?
[Tango searches a shulker box]
Tango: [groans] Alright, alright alright alright, hang on, let's see here. Chiseled bookshelf.
Scar: Oh!
Tango: Had good plans for this. Was gonna make an interactive shop with like—
[Scar takes out the music disc, stopping "Please Hold"]
Tango: Hermits could leave their own books and tell stories and— No, that's gone, you can just take that away.
Scar: But you had a year to do it, Tango. A full year. Thank you, I appreciate this.
Tango: Glowstone! Glowstone, yeah.
Scar: Oh, I'm sure you had wonderful ideas with that.
Tango: Think of all the illumination possibilities that are not gonna come to fruition now. [in a sad, cartoonish voice] "If only someone sold some glowstone…"
Scar: Oh, there's many options these days. Glowstone is so 2012. Ooh, another one.
Tango: And then, uh, a legendary shop. Sponge-worthy.
Scar: Ohhh, sponge. You know what, Tango?
Tango: Were you gonna be sponge-worthy?
Scar: Are you gonna be sponge-worthy? Because you weren't within the last year, Tango.
Tango: No. Oh, I broke some of your TNT, oh.
Scar: Yeah, well, careful with the red ropes over there, Tango. Destruction could happen.
Tango: The red ropes?
Scar: Tango, please.
Tango: Yes?
Scar: We would like to thank you, from the Permit Office, to you being so—
[Tango breaks a block of glass]
Scar: [breaking character] That is a violation!
[Scar replaces the glass]
Scar: [monotonously] Tango, once again, from the top. Thank you from the Permit—
[Tango breaks another glass block and looks at the trapdoor lever]
Tango: What's this lever do?
[Scar replaces the glass]
Scar: From the top, Tango.
Tango: [laughs]
Scar: Thank you so much for your compliance today. Please—
[Tango breaks another glass block]
Scar: [breaking character] Excuse me, you are breaking containment door— windows!
Tango: What happens if I— I want to pull the lever! I want to pull the lever!
Scar: [monotonously] Tango. Please. Walk through the darkened hallway.
Tango: Hm. Over here, huh? Walking. Hallway's very darkened. [reading a sign in the next room] Enjoy my cake!
Scar: There's not enough room for compliance. Please, enjoy your compliance cake. And art.
Tango: [yelps as he places a block] I tried to consume the cake but I failed.
Scar: Please, Tango, jump until you have saturation.
Tango: Woohoo! I want to enjoy the celebratory cake! I'm disappointed there's no secrets behind the paintings though, you know.
Scar: There you go! You got it, you got it.
Tango: There we go and— [eats a slice of cake] Awwww! Nom nom nom nom nom.
Scar: Wonderful. Now, to show that the Permit Office is on your side, not only with the cake, but you are now free to leave—
[Tango punches him through a hole in the floor]
