"Gene!  How did you get here?"

"Never mind all that, Sammy boy.  Question is what're you gonna do now?"

"I must be dreaming."

"No dream, Sam.  Do you want to go back to 1973?"

"Yeah, I do.  I don't belong here any more, Gene."

"Do you trust me, Sam?"

"I do, but how do we get back?"

"Just trust the Gene Genie.  Will you do that, Sammy boy?"

"I will."

"Take my hand now, Sammy, and the Gene Genie will do the rest."

"We have to jump?"

"Together, and we'll be back over the rainbow before you know it."

"Together."
