Cliff returns to the land of the living. He's standing with Coral on the small front garden of the Mundy household. He's holding a sledgehammer, and between him and Coral is the Orb that Rex was in. | |
|
|
|
* Not to-- rush you! You know. No... trouble. |
Of course. Yeah.
Sorry, it's... my head's not in the... |
|
|
* Oh! Yeah, no, honestly, like.
* I wouldn't bother you, you know, really, just. |
Gotta break your dad free. |
He raises the sledgehammer over his head. | |
|
If there's one thing I'm good at... |
He brings it down upon an orb, shattering it. | |
|
Rex triumphantly bursts out of the orb. Coral is estatic, Cliff is kinda confused. | |
|
Oh okay. I... guess I can't see ghosts. |
|
|
* I toldja that other exorcist was bad news!
What a misadventure that turned out to be!! |
|
|
* Ahheh, yeah yeah, get you I-told-you-sos in.
* I'm just glad you're back, Dad. |
Can those elf girls see ghosts? Who can see ghosts...? |
|
|
* Don't sell yourself short, little man! You made me proud out there!
* That was good thinkin' with the drag show. Those ladies didn't know what hit 'em! |
|
|
* Oh-- oh! I didn't... realise you could still see out from the orb...
* I'm glad you... approve, I guess? I was worried you'd be weird about the, uh, getup.
|
|
|
* Come on, Jasper! Whaddaya take me for?
* I'd be kickin' myself if I raised a fella who didn't know how to laugh at himself! |
Coral gets a feeling like a stab through her gut. She isn't sure why. | |
|
|
|
* Now, whaddaya say we get back to some good old ghost clearing!
* I'm sure we've gotten loads of spectres running amok in the time I've been gone, ay? |
|
|
* ...
* Sorry Dad. It'll have to wait a little longer.
* Sunny's still stuck in that other world. I gotta go check in, see if anything's turned up.
* Maybe I can do something to help find her... |
Oh, you're going back to the beach world? |
|
|
* Maaate... I know your little friend's important to ya.
* But you really gotta remember your other responsibilities here! |
Let me come with you. I can help. |
|
|
* Stop it--! I'm doing this myself, okay?
* Trust me on this. |
Please, Jasper. I can keep you safe. |
|
|
* Come on, mate, focus! The town needs ya! |
If something happened to you out there-- |
|
|
* If you keep shirking like this--! |
Coral snaps at the two men. | |
|
|
|
* Listen to me. Okay?
* That island through the veil, it's a powder keg right now.
* It's a spark away from combusting.
* And if that happens, my odds of finding Sunny again drop like a ten ton hammer.
* No distractions, no delays.
* I can't afford to let anything unexpected happen over there. I gotta do this, and I gotta do it myself. |
|
|
* Sunny'll be fine, mate.
* She's tough.
* And besides, she knew what she was getting into. |
|
|
* She was there to save YOU, Dad! |
Coral leaves, giving her dad an over the shoulder glare as she goes. | |
|
|
|
* Did you forget that already? |
Rex looks grumpy. Cliff beside him stares guiltily into the middle distance. | |
|
|
|
* What has gotten into that boy... |
