What... what is this?
This is where you've always been. Where all of us have always been. Welcome, General Fortean. Welcome, welcome. Welcome to our little family.
I'm sorry, General. I'm so sorry. But I did try to warn you.
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.
No. No. I -- I don't want this -- I'd never have -- this is... my soul...
Ha ha ha! Isn't this fun? So many of us -- it's like a party! You've outdone yourself, Bruce.
Bruce ain't here, Dad. It's Joe.
What--
Party's over.
