JIM and TOM are in the anti-bee bunker.

JIM. so our housemate says we should clean

TOM. yes yes and yes

JIM. arbeit macht frei, das flanderson

TOM. did you just godwin our housemate
because you did

JIM. jawhol, mein fuhrer

TOM. it’s gotta get done, and hey, fascism makes the trains run on time.

JIM. i’m just speaking german
you are projecting all over me

TOM. I cleaned the kitchen, and did not speak out
I cleaned the bathroom, and did not speak out
I cleaned my bedroom, and did not speak out
and when I was finished, there was nowhere left to clean
