Sotherbee: ngguuh???

Chrys: Ok, Fuddy-Duddy, listen up.

Sotehrbee: Where am I? What happened to my accent??

Sotherbee: *crooning badly* wear me silver-buckle slippers and me tight shiny pants....

The two previously seen Jumi drop in from above. Rubens is nearly ready to bust a gut laughing.

Rubens: Don't you get tired of playing with people like that?

Chrys: Would you?

Elazul: C'mon, we're out of time!
