Place it as the final beat after a moment of absence, with Sudden Suspense building the wait before it and Oh My God Wow following the reveal to sell the surprise return. Keep it as the answer to the question on screen, then cut straight to the next scene.
About this sound
This is a one-second voice clip of a man calmly saying yes, he is still alive, delivered in a flat, matter-of-fact tone that makes the line land as a joke rather than a report. It feels deadpan, stubborn and oddly reassuring, like a comeback from someone everyone assumed had vanished. The brevity keeps the punch intact, so the denial of disappearance becomes the whole gag.
