a sample like this one

will take hours rather than days.

Hey, thanks for coming.

Lovely to see you.

- Enjoyed it.

- Thank you.

Thanks for making the time.

Appreciate it.

No, she has to have special underwear

made because she doesn't have a vulva.

She was born without a vulva.

Her father used to make them,

which was an ordeal for her as a child,

but now she has fashion designers do it.

That's what she meant when she told

Spot Magazineshe doesn't have a face.

- Listen to what you're saying.

- You asked me, so I'm telling you.

You're telling me

you've been working here too long.

You're seriously buying into all this.

What's to buy into?

What I'm saying is factual.

Factual? Yesterday her birth defect

was a unique, nonfunctional organ

connected to her urinary system.

It's worth millions

on the celebrity meat market.

Yeah, also true.

I'm sure the kid could shed some light

on the situation.

Didn't you take a genital wart sample

from Hannah Geist once?

- That was Derek.

- Did he mention if she had a vulva?

We're doing lunch at Dainty Davis.

You coming?

I already ate.

You look like sh*t.

- Hi, Michelle.

- Hey, Syd. What can I get for you?

- 915?

- The new Aria Noble flu.

We got it this morning.

So we did.

Thank you.

Derek.

I understand

your fascination with her.

I understand completely. She's...

...perfect somehow, isn't she?

More than perfect.

An ideal.

Overwhelming.

With a whisper, she could have

anything she wanted.

Anyone she wanted.

I'm happy to inform you that we have

something special available today.

It just came in this morning.

S-915.

You would be the first.

A biological communion

between you and Aria.

From her body to your body.

From her cells to your cells.

In my humble opinion...

...it's not even a question.

Just a little pinch.

The fever should come on

just in time for the long weekend.

Enjoy.

Are you carrying

any infectious material with you

or items belonging to The Lucas Clinic

Incorporated or its suppliers?

No.

Next. Who's ne... OK.

Geist, OK, yeah.

OK, what are we... Like we're talking

like a roast for two people?

This is good.

Hello, sir. What can I get you?

I've been trying to reach you.

I was sick.

I think my body's

starting to turn on me, Arvid.

I don't know how much longer

I can do this.

You'll be fine.

There's an ebb and flow

to this kind of work.

Give it a month and you'll feel like

a completely different person.

I already feel like a different person.

I'm developing a cripple identity.

- I think you look great.

- Thanks.

I don't understand

how this isn't considered cannibalism.

Well, these are just muscle cells.

It all depends on whether the human
