The iron bars trapping Nancy in the room filled with stained glass rose with a creak as Nancy entered the solution to the puzzle. She wasn't quite sure why Noisette would want to trap her there. Nancy had gone through so much trouble to find the artwork: getting alcohol for a creepy park vendor, using a pie tin to scare away a dumb squirrel, and diving in the catacombs of Paris while mutant rats that possessed superhuman strength carried off her book of codes. She'd done all this, Noisette had even called her a friend in that letter she wrote, and then Noisette TRAPS her? It was no wonder Miss Tornade wasn't well liked!
Nancy ascended the stairs leading back up to the Moulin, threw open the trapdoor, jumped out, and started singing Charlie Sheen's "Winning." She had gotten to, "I'm bi-winning" before she opened her eyes and bumped right into a fuming Minette, who was blocking the door.
Minette began yelling, "What do you think you're doing coming out of the floor like that? You've been spying on me haven't you, you little-" Her rants were interrupted by the phone ringing. "Nancy, get the phone or you're fired!"
Nancy narrowed her eyes, fed up with her boss. "No, I will not answer the phone for you, you lazy nitwit! I'm sick of doing all these ridiculous things for you, that's what Heather's for! Wait, I wasn't spying on you."
"You mean you weren't sent to spy on me and expose my secret relationship with Carol?" Minette stepped casually in front of the dress form with which she'd been having a tea party with moments earlier.
"Of course not!" Nancy exclaimed, getting a bit weirded out. "But there is something suspicious about Carol! Planning to bug the world summit eh?" She strode up to Carol and felt the red dress for microchips, but strangely she couldn't find any.
Minette chortled evilly. "Oh, Nancy, Nancy, Nancy. You thought I was the culprit? Don't you know what this is?"
Poor Nancy was completely confused. "This-this makes no sense! You're supposed to have these stereotypically evil and stupid Russian dudes paying you to make a bugged dress for the first lady. I'm supposed to fight you and lamely remark on how I've fought imaginary elves stronger than you!" Suddenly it dawned on Nancy. "This isn't an-"
"Yes. I'm afraid this is an alternate ending," answered Minette.
Nancy sighed and moaned, "Oh no, I hate those things. They always have me falling for Henry Bolet or something."
As Nancy was bemoaning her situation there came a knock upon the door. Minette sighed and opened the door, the first thing she'd done for herself in the whole game. Jean-Michel zoomed into the room. No one, not even perceptive Nancy, had noticed that his chair and cafe table had wheels. Wow, he really does never leave that table, thought Nancy. Jean glanced between the stunned faces of Minette and Nancy until he suddenly burst into tears. "It's not my fault, you know!" he blubbered. "I sat down in this chair 8 years ago and I haven't been able to get up since. All I can do now is eat parfaits, write snotty magazine columns, and wheel myself into ending sequences where I'm unwelcome! Speaking of which... Henri, parfait!"
"D'accord," came the voice of the waiter. Henri appeared out of nowhere, bearing an extra large L'enfer parfait. Jean dried his tears on Henri's sleeve and cried, "Oh Henri! What would I do without you?"
Henri suddenly displayed emotion for the first time as he swatted Jean-Michel away and shouted, "Ne me touchez pas!" Jean glumly buried his face in his parfait and cried as Henri rushed away.
During this, Heather had wandered in from her desk. "What the heck is going on here?" she asked. She angrily pointed at Nancy. "And YOU! How dare you get me fired by telling Minette about that threatening note I sent her, you-you fink!"
Nancy awkwardly cleared her throat. "Um, Heather? I actually didn't get you fired in this playthrough of the game," she whispered. But Minette still heard her.
"Heather, you did WHAT? You're fired!"
Heather began to scream. She picked up the teapot and flung it at Nancy, then sobbed with Jean for six seconds. Finally she linked arms with Minette and laughed robustly for exactly four seconds. She finished just as Dieter VonSchwesterkrank fell through the ceiling. No one batted an eye, what with the other strange things going on in this alternate ending.
Heather gasped with delight. "Dieter, darling! I have a gift for you to prove how much I've always loved you!" She rummaged in her purse to present Dieter with a stuffed parrot which she waved around in his face.
Dieter turned away in disgust. "Heather, you're acting rather pathetic." Then he turned to Minette and fell on his knees, kissing her feet, and cried, "Oh, beloved Minette! I've never met someone as rude as you! Marry me! I've never stopped loving you!"
Minette stared out the window at the stars beginning to show and whispered, "And I've never stopped loving you... Sonny Joon."
