Nelson, Lindsey, and Chuck are once again gathered in front of Chris' portal. Chuck paces the floor.

Nelson: Really?
Chuck: Yes.

Charmy: You'd better answer before they hang up.
Vector: You little...[He answers the phone.]
Vector: I already told you the check's in the mail!
Vanilla: Vector, is that you?
Vector: Ah! Cream's mother! How've you been?
