In the studio, recreated in the image of the real Tribal Council cave, with everybody in the same exact clothes they wore that fateful last gathering all those cutting rooms ago.

Intermarriage is common, and if you walk into a classroom today, it's impossible to tell a child's exact race, or what race or ethnicity he or she may identify with. You certainly can't with my own sons, who are only one-sixteenth Chinese and otherwise Irish, English, Scottish, Spanish, Russian, German, Austrian and Polish. I tell them it's up to them to choose their own identities?just so long as they marry nice Chinese girls. They think I'm kidding. I'm not, really...
