hallucinations for the first year.

Jesus. There's nothing

to worry about.

Think of it as

the anti-rejection drug

that you'd take

after any transplant.

And what does

rejection look like?

Well, migraine, nausea,

disorientation, and then...

Well, death.

Oh.

Is that all?

An irrelevant hypothetical.

One a day

for the time being.

Hell yes.

I was born on September 20, 1980.

Phoenix, Arizona.

My parents and my older sister

were killed in a car crash.

My parents and my older sister

were killed in a car crash

when I was 10 years old.

I was home with a stomach ache

because I snuck in the kitchen

and ate a whole tub of chocolate ice cream.

I haven't eaten

chocolate since.

My Uncle Frank

raised me in Chicago.

I went to Northwestern, where I

majored in Computer Science.

I never married.

I have no children.

My name is Edward Kidner.

Mmm. What's this?

This is a

graduation present.

You'll live locally

for the time being,

just until you

get your bearings.

We've arranged

a house and car for you

and placed the money that you put

aside in a new bank account.

Not many in there,

are there?

Seven.

You'll get refills at

our weekly meetings.

No. A leash wasn't

part of the deal.

I'm sorry. I admit

it's an inconvenience.

But with so few

undergoing the procedure,

every one of our patients

is a learning process.

It's just for now.

All right?

And how do I

get in touch with you?

You don't.

I come to you.

My privacy is very important

to me for obvious reasons.

Fair enough.

I'll tell you what.

In a couple of months,

we can talk

about wherever it is

that you want to be

relocated. All right?

But in the meantime, why don't you

just relax and have some fun.

After all, at your age,

I'd say you've earned it.

Whoo!

Oh!

Move, move, move!

What's up, man?

Way to go.

Hey, NBA.

You see any scouts watching?

Uh-uh. I like to win.

Hmm.

Come back,

you'll be disappointed.

You're not from

around here, are you?

How'd you guess?

The locals prefer sucking?

I like that.

That's funny.

Gonna get a local

ass-whooping. I'm Anton.

Edward.

How's the wrist?

My kids can dish

out more than that.

You got kids?

Yeah, buddy.

Let me show you my beauties.

Look at that. The oldest,

she just turned seven.

Ah.

They're cute at that age.
