Talk to Glottis, and try to convince him to become your driver. Tell him that the cars are too small and that he’s not too big. Glottis will suggest modifying your car and he could become your driver if he had a work order.

You’ll need to head upstairs to get a work order in order to convince Glottis to modify the car so he can become your driver.

Ask Eva if she can have the boss sign the work order. The boss will decline. Head out through the main door and go outside. Proceed through the alleyway on the side of the building and climb up the rope to the top floor.

Go back into the building and bring out the dead worm balloon and use it on the red nozzle in the room. Take out the second dead worm balloon and use it on the blue nozzle and fill it up.

Go back into Manny’s office and place the first balloon into the pneumatic messaging tube machine. Place the second balloon filled with the caulk into the tube and it will break the messaging machine.

Go down into the server room and talk to the server maintenance technician.

Keep talking to him until he catches on fire and Manny will attempt to put it out with a magnesium fire extinguisher but the technician will stop him.

Go over to the nest filled with eggs and take the eggs.

Head down into the garage and go into the mechanic room. Use mouth guard from Dom’s office and use the filler on it. Place the mouthgaurd into Manny’s mouth to make a duplicate of Manny’s teeth.

Head back into the underground base and give Sal the eggs. Give Eva the replica of your teeth.

A short cinematic will play where Sal will take Manny through a tunnel to the end of the Petrified Forest.
