Eric runs for the side of the chip, just barely too slow; by the time he got there, Umi had just popped the other half of the chip into his mouth. Almost immediately, Umi starts to chew the chip, so Eric jumps off the side of the chip and swims/climbs as fast as he can to make it out, but to no avail. Umi has already closed his mouth, and Eric knew exactly what was going to happen next. Umi had already swallowed most of the chip, and Eric was stuck there, in the middle of Umi's mouth, with nothing to do but wait.
