> WALTON SIMONS: Behind the eyes. A sharp burning. Almost electrical.

> JAIME REYES: How's your bioelectric level?

> JAIME REYES: It's a lot like an electric razor. If you leave it plugged in all the time, the battery loses its zero point. Just watch your levels.

> WALTON SIMONS: Interesting. Thanks, Doctor.
