I've Got the Strangest Feeling This Isn't Our First Time Around

Snoozemore ends up taking him through the green pipe.

Which sucks him through this crazy world full of pink clouds, with other green pipes sticking out here and there.

When he finally stops flailing around, he's pulled through another pipe and place back on solid ground.

Luigi barely has a moment before he's led through a giant room full of floating...pillow...people?

He takes it all in best he can, but honestly? He's ecstatic.

"Mm, yes." Snoozemore says. "Welcome to the Dream Lab."

Luigi moves over and demands, "What the heck is this thing?"

"That would be the Ultibed." Snoozemore says, eyes dropping closed momentarily.

"Because it's the ultimate bed?" Luigi rolls his eyes. "Please fire the dummy that named it."

"What happened to the 'no one touches the bed until they've been evaluated' rule?" the new voice makes them both turn, but Luigi's more shocked to discover it's another human. He's even got a mustache.

"We're out of time, and you know it." Snoozemore tells him. "Ask him whatever questions you wish. But we need him on that bed the moment it's finished."

"Did you say you need me on the bed?" Luigi asks as Snoozemore walks away, leaving him with the other guy.

"Are you always so sweet, or is it my lucky day?" the guy says sarcastically.

"Do you always smell like garlic, or you trying to convince people you're not a vampire?" Luigi snarks back.

"I had carbonara, but I didn't just say that, because I'm from a proud Italian family." The guy replies as he walks into a conference room.

"Is this a lab for dream analysis?" Luigi tries to ask, but the guy's in no mood to be helpful.

"I'm not gonna apologize for wanting some extra flavor in my carbonara." The guy says like Luigi didn't say anything.

"You a chef?"

"No, I like food."

"You can't cook and like food?"

"Not if you wanna insult your mama."

"Your mom's a cook?"

"Damn right." The guy crosses his arms. "You got a problem with that?"

"It was just a question." Luigi tries, but again, the guy isn't having it.

"No, you were just being nosy. Ever thought of getting institutionalized? Cause you'd fit right in."

"Oh I see what this is." Luigi grins maniacally. "You've been down here with Master Splinter so long, you forgot what humans are actually like."

"A TMNT reference, really?" the guy rolls his eyes. "If you were trying to impress me, you failed. Miserably. Tell me the name of the actor that played Spider Man in the TV show, and then we'll talk."

"I'm considered a genius in my program." Luigi gets up in the guy's face.

"You mean in the only program that would let you in?" the guy teases. "Which means Cornell's standards have significantly dropped since I went there years ago."

"You're an asshole."

"Congratulations, you just fell for my bait." The guy says, and after a beat, he says, "Alright, interview done. Now the more important question: do you have any idea what you're gonna be doing here?"
