Fade in to Grif, Hunter, and Simmons in the underground lair.

Grif: I heard something that time.

Simmons: You didn't hear anything.

Grif: There, did you hear that?

Hunter: Yes, I heard water dripping.

Grif: Sounds like bats!

Simmons: Bats, aren't made of liquid. Bats don't drip.

Grif: Bat-water!

Simmons: There are no bats!

Grif: You don't know, what if you're wrong?

Simmons: Okay, idiot, let's assume I'm wrong. Let's assume there are bats. So what? You're wearing state-of-the art, biomechanical body-armour. It's designed to deflect bullets and absorb explosions. What can a five-ounce flying rodent possibly do?

Grif: ...So basically you're saying that you think there's bats.

Hunter: Sure, why not.

Grif: I'm getting the fuck outta here.

Simmons: No you're not, Grif, we're standing right here. I told Sarge we wouldn't move, and we're not moving.

Grif: At least let's go stand by the light.

Hunter: Actually I wouldn't mind doing that.

Grif: See Hunter agrees with me.

Simmons: No, that would be moving, and thus would violate our strict "no moving" policy.

Grif: But the light-

Simmons: No.

Grif: -would help us see the bats!

Simmons: NO.

Grif: And their fangs!

Simmons: NO!

Hunter: Okay Grif name one time you saw a bat here at your time in Blood Gulch.

Grif: Never but you can never know when it happen!

Hunter:...Hey, you know what might be in the cave, Simmons? Snakes.

Simmons: You're an asshole Hunter, why would you bring up snakes?

Grif: I get what he's saying. I know you don't like snakes, and snakes do live in caves, and we are in a cave, and snakes like to crawl right up next to people in caves, and then they-

Simmons: Alright, screw it, I'm gonna go stand by the light.

Simmons runs to the light.

Grif: Nice thinking.

Hunter: Your welcome.

Grif: Were still going to talk about you dated my sister.

Hunter: (sigh) I know.

Cut to Blue Base, then to Doc and Willow approaching Tucker, Church, Caboose, and Gus.

Doc: Okay, I talked to Sheila, you guys were right: she definitely seems a little odd.

Church: Yup, so whaddaya think?

Doc: I think she seems like there's something wrong.

Church: That's your diagnosis? That's why we sent you down there, man. Because we knew something was wrong.

Doc: I'm a medic, what do you want from me?

Willow: I'm a nurse so I'm in the same boat as him.

Church: How about fixing her?
