- No, no, don't even tell me.

I don't like scary stories

because they give me nightmares.

But there is a huge party tonight

at the Sigma Chi house.

Everybody is gonna be there.

Please tell me you're coming with.

I have to study.

Oh, my God.

You never do anything.

And don't wake me up

when you get home.

I have an 8:
00 a.m. class.

No promises.

MALE CALLER:
I think the kid

sounded like he was on drugs.

I'm sorry he died and all,

but I think it's an overdose.

I mean, I don't mess

with that stuff myself,

but I know people that do

- and they sounded just like that kid.

(MOUTHING WORDS)

Okay, we have

another caller here.

MALE CALLER 2:
Hey, Charlie,

I just want to say

it could be some kind

of government thing,

contamination of our drinking water

they're trying to cover up.

(BUZZES)

(HUMMING)

(WATER RUNNING)

FEMALE CALLER:
It sounded to me

that what the boy described

was a classic

abduction scenario.

You see, the Greys, they're the aliens

from Alpha Centauri,

and they abduct people

for their genetic experiments.

And the thing that tipped me off...

he said he was paralyzed.

(SNARLS)

CHARLIE OVER RADIO:

Psychiatrist on the line here.

Dr. Perkowski, what do you

have to say about all this?

DR. PERKOWSKI:
I'd just like to say,

from my experience,

that there are a number

of different types of mental illness

which could go undiagnosed

for long periods of time.

The caller on the air

may have had an episode

of extreme

schizophrenic paranoia.

In these instances,

the victim can often see things

that aren't there,

react to them.

The world of the imagination

and the real world blends

so that they cannot

distinguish the difference.

In such a case, it's natural

that he could have believed

that a man or a shadowy figure

of some kind was stalking him.

It's important for your audience

to be aware that these delusions

are fairly common,

but we must remember

that they are only

in our imagination.

And no matter how frightening

they seem,

- they can't really harm you.

(STATIC HISSING)

(STRAINED CRY)

CHARLIE:
All right, that is a wrap

for "The Night Shift."

Good night, sleep tight,

and don't let the bedbugs bite.

ANNOUNCER:
Ace Auto

is your headquarters for used...

That is the most callers

we have ever had.

- Any word on the numbers?

- I don't know.

I'm gonna have to check them

tomorrow, man,

but I have a really good feeling

that they're gonna be good.

- Like to get syndicated good?

- Like we could get syndicated good.

MAN:
- What's your name?

- Brittany Daniels.

- And what year are you?
