Jake: All right, this is gonna hurt. But I'm gonna get you through it. (looks at the wound and gasps) Oh my God, I'm gonna throw up into your cut. (turns away) Oh, I saw inside of you. How are humans alive?!
Holt: Okay, uh, I'll do the surgery, and, uh, you just breathe, okay? We'll get you through this.
Jake: Okay. (Holt pulls out the pipe, producing a "squish" sound) What was that sound? I did not like that "squish" sound.
Holt: The pipe has been removed. Now I'm sewing myself up. Okay, this is almost over, you're doing great. Just keep talking. Keep talking.
Jake: Talking about what?
Holt: Uh, tell me about Amy, hmm? You must be excited to see her.
Jake: Very much, you know. Oh, God, what if it doesn't go well? We haven't seen each other in a while, and (turns to Holt) what if it's weird? (sees Holt's wound and gasps, terrified, and turns away)
Holt: Keep going, keep going. You're doing so well. Why would it be weird?
Jake: I don't know, I don't know. I mean, maybe we've grown apart. Maybe she'll be repulsed by my frosted tips. I was gonna defrost them before I saw her for the first time.
Holt: I'm sure it will be magical when you see her. Aaaand (pulls needle and thread up) guess what?
Jake: What?
Holt: I'm done, I've sewn myself up.
Jake: (turns towards Holt) Huh.
Holt: You did great, buddy. I'm proud of you.
Jake: (grins) I can't believe I did it. I'm so strong.
