"You're both here to help me!" Henry said with a smile.

"No, Henry, listen. We got to get out of here, okay?" Archie said.

Henry backed away from them, "So, you're still against me?" Henry said sadly.

"Henry, there's no time for that. Come on, Henry! Come on!" Archie said.

"You don't believe me? You'll see. You'll see!" Henry said as he turned around and ran deeper into the mines.

"Henry! Henry!" Sarah said as she followed after him.

Jiminy and his parents approached a house and Jiminy turned to his parents, "Look, can't we skip this tonight? I mean, we don't need the money," Jiminy said.

"A commitment of excellence," Martin said.
