[[Two boys are kneeling down on either side of a coke bottle.]]
First Boy: This is the coolest thing.
First Boy: You just drop the Mentos in the Diet Coke...
Second Boy: Uh huh
First Boy: Give it a moment...
[[The bottle has a few bubbles above it]]
<<Poof>> [[A man appears. The first boy raises his arms in exclamation.]]
[[The second boy stands up and turns around. He puts his hands over his mouth.]]
Second boy: D-Dad?
Man [[Reaching towards the second boy]]: I'm back, son. We can be a family again.
