[[Todd leads Nick into the spotlight where the others are gathered. Immediately, Nick recognizes a familiar face.]]
Todd: I believe you remember...
Nick: The Inexplicable Speck! Yes...
Speck: [With a broad smile] Wait, Nick? As in "Absolutely Incredible Man"? Holy smokes, is it good to see you again!
[[Behind them, a cartoon dog watches with intense curiosity.]]

Speck: I'm glad you guys made it home! Although... you look nothing like I remember...
Nick: Yes, well... my "virtual reality machine" has a way of tweaking our appearances...
[[The dog gets a little closer, peeking around the Speck!'s shoulder.]]

[[Todd leads Nick to the next individual.]]
Todd: And this is D.C. Smythe...
Nick: The secret agent cat Fooker and Sharon mentioned...
Smythe: [With a slight smile] Ah, the porcupine and the panda. I see they too returned home unscathed.
[[The dog continues to lurk in the background.]]

Nick: You... don't seem very surprised...
Smythe: [Dryly] Trust me, old chap... once you've been to THIS place, NOTHING will surprise you anymore...
