And... Rosie, Mount Gore's drummer... punches Paulav

KEN: Holy- She's got a robo-arm?! Paula! Y-your hair...v

Paula touches her hair and realizes her hair dye is GONE. She's not cool anymore. She can already imagine what's she'd do to get it

Dr. Hewl: Sorry, Dude. You're just as uncool as me now

PAULA: But, Doc! There has to be something you can do, right?

MER: No, you and your boyfriend can get out now

MER: Did you like it?

KATH: I mean, it was alright-

MER: Ever been to a party there? Heard there were no more of those there

KATH: I- what?

MER: I'm just joshing you, Kath. That was some Nutone humor for you

The tension in the room is doing shit to Rei and he can't take it anymore!

REI: That's it! You're done for, Evildoer!

Rei gets off his seat to punch Sam but he dodges and stands up. All of the lights coming from his eyes. He uses some kind of telekinesis on Rei

MER: Didn't you know...?
