God is sitting at a desk in a room with an open door, while Satan is in a lobby featuring a couch and a bored looking man in a suit at a desk, implied to be a secretary. There is an abstract art picture above his head, hammering home that this is a typical waiting room, even in, presumably, Heaven.
It's odd for the devil to go up to see God. Additionally, you'd expect that God (at least, the Abrahamic one) to have angels helping out around the office.
What does Satan want to see God about? Will God say unto Lucifer, "Devil, get thee behind me!"?
Oh, yeah, we go way back.

When people go to meetings with important people, they may need to deal with a secretary that doesn't understand that the two have prior history. Here, satan and god have a famous and long history that goes way back --- in christian theology, the devil vs. god represents the fundamental struggle of evil versus good, and it's funny to see them personified and meeting in an everyday office meeting.
