Two men in suits are standing in an open doorway looking on as a third person is drowning in a room filled entirely in quickstand. The two men in suits don't look like they are going to help the third person out of the quicksand.
It's unusual that the entire room in this building is quicksand, and it's weird that the two men in suits looking on aren't helping save the other person because normally, the situation would call for it.
Why is this room made of quicksand? Who are these men in suits, and who is the drowning person?
Of course, the current tenant will be gone before the first of the month.

A play on words. A landlord might say this to a perspective new tenant (the two men in suits), while the current one is moving out. But here, the joke takes a dark turn: "gone" here means that the currant tenant (currently drowning in quicksand) will be dead.
