All right, you wanna me to tell you something or ask me a question? I don't know, tell me something. Tell me something you wouldn't tell somebody. I am kind of sort of petrified 'cause I have been feeling weirdly sick lately and I don't really know what's going on. I mean, I pull my hair out. All the time. -What? -And, I have a really bad rash, and I just keep scratching it and it keeps getting worse and worse. I don't know what to do about it. You have more hair than I do. Are you sure about that? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Can I see it? The whole idea was to have people come and have their senses overwhelmed. But, with Kyle I'm sure will just turn into a sex party. [whimpers] You okay? That's really cool with the lights on.

[whispers] [Anya shivering] [Eli] Look at me. Can you look at me? [ominous shriek] Hey. Wake up. [loud bang] [dialing, phone ringing] [operator] 911, what is your emergency? Hi, my friend won't wake up. She's barely breathing. Okay, tell me what happened? She ate a lot of hair. She what? Do you know the Heimlich? She's not choking, she swallowed it a while ago. Hang on okay. -[phone rings, beep] -This is Dr. Moony. Hey, what happens when you eat too much hair? Did you eat too much hair? Not me, my friend ate too much. [stammering] You should tell your friend to stop because humans can't digest it, for one. It's difficult to even cough up like a cat fur for example. What happens? Well, if you eat too much, it forms a hair rock in your stomach. It'll grow and grow and eventually fill your entire stomach and head into your bowls and clog up your entire system. There can be emergency surgery if necessary. [Eli] You have to cut it out? [doctor] Keep her vital steady and we'll be there in a few hours. [metal clanging] It's the power And the glory [music continues in the background] [soothing music playing] [Anya shrugs] [Anya whimpers] Why? Why? [whimpering, gasping] [siren wailing] [indistinct radio chatter] [paramedic 1] Shot's going in. -[paramedic 1] Pulse is faint. -[paramedic 2] Let's go. [paramedic 2] Clear the beads. [tires screeching] [vehicle approaching] -[thud] -[Eli moans] Oh. Oh. Oh God. Oh God, are you okay? Are you... Where does it hurt? I don't know. Oh God, okay. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna get under here. [suffocating] [gasping] [woman] I'm gonna take you to the hospital. Hmm, okay. You can't fall asleep, you could have a concussion or something. What's your name? Do you want some sugar slurpies? - No. You should eat vegetables, you know? Yeah? Can you, uh... sing me something? Right now? Yeah. [sings under breath] Do you realize you could have been charged with man slaughter? And had you waited like any sane person, the only one to blame would have been us or her. So she's okay? More or less. She's got a rather terrible scar which I hope is a permanent reminder of a habit she needs to discontinue. Can I go see her? Not so fast. Where's the Chuck Beesor? The hair rug? I left it there, why? I've never seen one before. [monitor beeping] [knocking at door] Hmm. Hi. Hi. [exhales] [crackling] If you see me On you doorstep right You're love Was the look for me It was all that I had And since You've taken it away I don't believe in men I remember the good times And I try not to be sad But I know that it's true That you will never love me Again So don't be surprised If you see me Lying on a railway track [high-pitched soul music playing] Thank you for coming So eager Thank you for coming There's a possibility That I'll submit To your military If I am wrong For all the things I'm praying for you, somehow They don't come true We must go out If I let you, I burned To lay my hand On the bed I made Yes, I had And I don't forever start To get so close 'Cause you're so far If all the things I planned Is good for you Oh, you've got to Stand by me baby...
