So you can let yourself out whenever.

I have Intro to Trig

across the quad in fiive.

- Anyway, so it was fun, Professor.

- Dex.

Dex.

Okay, I guess

I'll see you in class then, Dex.

- Barb! I don't believe you!

- Well, how was I supposed to know?

I'm trapped in a girls' dormitory

with creatures called Barb.

Gail?

Hi, Dex.

Hi.

- How are you?

- I'm okay.

- Elaine gave me some pills.

- Uh-huh.

Look, Gail, I-I--

I'm a little off-balance right now...

but I am sorry.

Dex, I'm so sorry

for the way you found out.

There was nothing vindictive in it.

I never told anybody.

I guess I was just

a little embarrassed.

- He was so young.

- Yeah.

I didn't find out till later

that he was one of your students.

Boy, some shrink would have

a fiield day with this one, huh?

He reminded me so much

of you at that age.

Remember?

What, you-you mean the little place

we used to have off campus?

- Yeah.

- I tried to write, and you tried to

make Spam taste even more delicious.

You did write.

- You were full of passion and purpose.

- What, you mean like Nick Lang?

- That wasn't love, Dex.

- Yeah.

He just made me feel like

I haven't felt in such a long time.

- Dex, there was no reason--

- Look, Gail. Gail.

- I'm coming over there, Gail.

- That's not a good idea, Dex.

Listen.

Uh, come by tonight.

I'll go out for a bit.

It'll be easier.

You've got to sign those papers.

And you left your briefcase here.

I'll leave it by the tree, okay?

I don't think you should be

alone right now, Gail.

Please. Please don't come over.

I love you.

I know, Dex.

I know.

This is no hangover.

- Dex!

- Sir, may I help you?

Are you all right?

- What's taking so long?

- We just got this back.

- Oh, great. Let me see.

- Take a look at this.

It's very strange.

It's radium chloride.

- Are you absolutely sure about this?

- Yes. Positive.

Toxicology ran through these twice

and confiirmed the results.

Sorry you had to wait so long.

I'm feeling a lot better.

What's up, Doc?

Sit down, Dex, please.

- What's that?

- It's a sample.

You're not gonna make me

drink that, are you?

No, Dex. You already did.

- We, uh, ran the test twice.

- Well, what is that?

It's a toxic luminous solution,

and it's in your system.

- What, from eating too much tuna fiish?

- It's poison, Dex.

Oh, bullshit, Elaine. I had too much

to drink, and I feel like sh*t.

- I come over here

to see my doctor, and--

- Dex.

It's been in your body

for at least 1 2 hours.

We found toxic traces. Our

chief resident reviewed the results.

- Well, how did it get in there?

- The alcohol content in your body...

suggests you got it in some liquor.
