Transcript

You know what? Where's Freddy? There can't be two Freddy's, right? Freddy? No. Well, now we've got two Freddy's in the room. Cool. Bonnie, oh my Good, I will slap you. Wait, what's going on here? We're looking for the night guard. He's the night guard. Pretty sure that's Freddy. Oh, you're Freddy. Where are you going? This. I'm out.
