[MacGruber looks away from the bomb, as his Life Coach steps forward]

Life Coach: Hey MacGruber, do you wanna say something to them? [MacGruber whispers in his ear] No, no, I’m not gonna tell them that because you can’t defuse the bomb, MacGruber. How about we do this together, okay?

Vicky: 15 seconds!

Life Coach: Okay, let’s start asking for supplies, okay?

MacGruber: Chair.

Life Coach: Chair, a chair, that’s a great idea ,MacGruber, yeah, a chair.

Isaac: Wha… come on!

Life Coach: [to Issac] We don’t need your negativity right now.

[MacGruber begins to tap the chair’s legs onto the bomb]

Life Coach: You’re taking small steps but they’re big steps, buddy. That’s good, MacGruber.

Isaac: You can’t defuse a bomb with a chair!

Life Coach: What’s your name?

Isaac: Isaac.

Life Coach: Isaac, let me let you in a little secret: you can do anything if you put your mind…

[CUT to Human Trafficking Headquarters exploding and spewing smoke everywhere.]
