The reaper tells Mordecai that Shmoop's life has taken a turn for the worse because of the number of cases he deals with in section two. He wonders why they would send such a case to section five, and wonders if the girl would be able to resist being sent away to the "underworld." He wonders if he would have wanted to get into the "section two" if he were him. He says that he's always been trapped in the "right place at the right time." He asks the reaper if he'll ever be half as good as he is, and he says yes.
