| General Fortean |  What... what is this?  |
| Brian Banner | This is where you've always been. Where all of us have always been. Welcome, General Fortean. Welcome, welcome. Welcome to our little family. |
| Doc Samson | I'm sorry, General. I'm so sorry. But I did try to warn you. |
| General Fortean | Samson? |
| Doc Samson | If it's any consolation, I don't think this lasts. I... feel as if I've tried to stay longer. To move past this place... to be... cleansed... anyway. I suppose now we both know how it's done. |
| Gen. Fortean | No. No. I -- I don't want this -- I'd never have -- this is... my soul... |
| Brian Banner | Ha ha ha! Isn't this fun? So many of us -- it's like a party! You've outdone yourself, Bruce. |
| Joe Fixit | Bruce ain't here, Dad. It's, Joe. |
| General Fortean | What-- |
| Joe Fixit | Party's over. |
