So just like that everything goes back to normal, huh? Not even an explanation.

[She sighs.] How terrible.

I can't help but think we haven't seen the last of those soldiers either...

[She pauses and then laughs.] How depressing. All right, enough of that. Halloween is right around the corner, isn't it?

If we do, I hope I get my... ahhh... [SNEEZE!]

...my chip-thing out by then. [Sniff.] Then I can do a better job protecting people.

...What are you planning for Halloween?

[always_on_duty]

...Dress up like how? [Either way, he's a tiny bit screwed. This is the guy who has dozens of the same outfit at home, after all.]

[cloversong]

In a costume, silly! Anything you want.

[always_on_duty]

I don't think I've worn a costume for Halloween since I was a boy.

[cloversong]

All the more reason that you should! It's a lot more fun as an adult.

[always_on_duty]

I think I'd feel silly. Besides, I don't think there's any costumes or anything to make them here.

[cloversong]

Maybe the scientists can give you something?

[always_on_duty]

I don't want to ask those kidnappers for anything.

[cloversong]

Fair enough!
