We cut to Lo running to Dave, he kneels down, and sees his hair coming off.

Dave:
Where’s my hair?

Lo:
Its going home.

Dave (groaning):
Well there goes my chances at a wife.

Lo:
Why?

Dave:
I’m f***ing ugly without hair.

Lo:
Well, I don’t have anything to say to you, I’ve never seen a bald guy wearing glasses.

Dave:
Really? You live in the biggest city in Montana, and you’ve never seen a guy with glasses on that’s bald?

Lo:
What can I say? I’m oblivious to the world!

Lo helps Dave up. Police officers run to them.

Cap. Montana:
Sir, What happened up there?

Cap. Jones:
Who was that?!

Lo:
I’m sorry, My friend here is a little shaken up--

Montana:
I don’t care! We need to know--

Dave:
He was a guy on fire.

Jones:
Name?

Lo (harsh voice): ALRIGHT, My friend here is a little stuck, and I’m going to get him home--

Kim (police officer walking up to them): We need to take you in for questioning.

Jones:
Is the water back to normal?

Kim:
No, Sir, Now, It is green and gray.

Montana:
Now we got an actual fireman. Great.

We cut to a couple of days later, They and several other people are at a funeral for the little kid.

Lizzy (at the stand speaking): My son, Topher, was all I had, after his father Tucker died, after having a heart attack on top of a stripper, cheating on me, but Topher was a great boy, my son, I loved him to death, but I guess we can only get so far, before we reach the end, Who are we going to call, when the end happens, or does it even matter?

Simmons (old guy standing next to Lo and Dave, elbowing Lo): This is all you f***ers’ faults!

Lo (whispering to Dave): I’m going to f***ing kill this old man--

Dave:
Shhhhh.

Lizzy:
I don’t know why our Lord did this, but I guess he knows best. After all, why wouldn’t he? I mean, he’s gotta have a good reason to f*** over my marriage and son! I mean, It’s not like he’s not real--

Mallory (her mom walking up to her, grabbing her): Alright, Honey, that’s enough.

Lizzy (pointing at Dave and Lo): What are you f***ers doing here?! You guys are the reason my little f***er’s dead!

Lo (running to slug punch her): OH, THAT’S F***ING IT!

As Lo is about to punch her, Lizzy punches his lip, and Dave runs and grabs Lo.

Dave:
What the hell is your problem?!

Lo:
F***ing c*nt! Saying I’m the reason her f***ing bastard kid is f***ing dead, NO! YOU’RE A F***ING C*NT! YOU’RE A HORRIBLE F***ING MOTHER! YOU PROBABLY SUCKED AT F***ING--!

Lizzy then grabs Mallory’s cane (Mallory then falls on the ground) and begins banging Lo on the head, Dave tries to run off, dragging Lo on the wet ground, We then cut to a man doing the dishes in his home. His wife walks in.

Kay:
Have you seen the news? Stop touching the water!

Bill:
This is water from the water jug from a couple days ago.

Kay:
Well, It looks like we won’t be brushing our teeth for a while.

Bill:
Why is that?

Kay:
The news!

Bill:
I have to brush my teeth! Plus, We’re out of water in the water jug.

We cut to them sleeping, Bill however, gets up, and goes to the bathroom.

Bill (grabbing toothbrush and toothpaste): I’m sorry, I have to.

Bill brushes his teeth with the weird water, He notices it, and as he gulps the water down, he throws his toothbrush to the wall.

Bill:
OH my god, Oh my god! Oh--

Kay (in the room as the door is closed): Honey? Where’d you go?

Bill:
Nothing! Nothing!

He turns the water off, and goes back in the room.

Kay:
Where’d you go?

Bill:
I was looking for the bandaids.

Kay:
Their in the kitchen.

Bill (weird look on face): Oh.

Bill gets back in the bed. Throughout the night, we have a montage of him trying to sleep, shaking, having random nightmares of his wife screaming in terror, before we cut to him walking in the kitchen, He opens up the fridge, and grabs several to-go-boxes of food, and runs in the living room. He turns on the news and sees a news broadcast of them talking about the water. We cut to Dave and Lo on a couch. Dave is wearing a boggin, and Lo has a bandage on his cut lip.

Dave (looking at fingers): I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know.

Lo:
Water! It was the water--

Dave:
Yeah, Yeah, but why is it real?

Lo (getting up):
I’m not a f***ing scientist! How am I supposed to know?!

He gets up, and makes a cup of water.

Lo (examining it melt the cup): It has a weird effect on plastic, like it is acid--

It falls on his carpet, and makes a hole.

Dave:
Jesus Christ. It is pretty much now acid.

Lo puts his finger in it, and immediately pulls his finger out.

Lo:
My god! That’s f***ing acid!

Dave puts his finger in it. He doesn’t pull it out.

Dave:
I can’t feel it. I can’t feel it.

Lo:
I guess you now can’t feel pain.

Dave:
Why are you randomly guessing that?

Lo:
You fell out of a tower and said you felt fine!

Dave:
I guess I can’t feel pain. Although, We’re getting a little ahead of ourselves here, You’re acting like we’re in a movie where we’re just blurting out exposition.

Lo:
Well, It is like a movie, don’t ya think? This f***ing sh*t doesn’t happen in real life!

Dave:
Well, Wouldn’t you rather be the hunter than the prey?

Lo:
What is that supposed to mean?

Dave:
I wish I could explain, but I cannot.

Lo:
Whatever, Wait-- I know who can!

Dave:
Who?

Lo:
The doctor’s office!

Dave:
What?

Lo:
We can ask about it--!

Dave:
You’re f***ing insane! Hell no!

We cut to them walking in the doctor’s office they were at when it happened.

Lo:
I thought they were open right now!

Dave:
They usually are.

Lo (hearing talking): Shhh. Shhh.

We cut to Loom and Field in a room, putting pen ink in the serum, Loom sneezes, and it gets in the serum.

Field:
Look what you did, Loom!

Loom:
That’s the first thing you’ve told me all night.

Field (taking a blood sample from himself): I’ll take a bit of the serum, and mix it with my blood, and test it on the at.

Lo (Dave on Shoulder as they’re looking in the room): Oh my god, they’re testing on my cat!

Dave:
Your cat?

Lo:
One day, he was mysteriously gone.

Lo pulls out a weapon.

Lo:
I’m going to kill them, Dave, I’m going to f***ing kill them--

Dave:
No! You idiot! You can’t go in there!

Dave tries to grab it from Lo, but Lo slaps him, and Dave coughs. Field looks behind at the Door.

Loom:
It is just the roof, Field, They’re coming tomorrow to fix it.

Field (looking back at the serum): It’s been like that for weeks now, they couldn’t bother to possibly hurry?

Dave:
What was that for?!

Lo:
I’m going to kill them! That’s my Cat! I need you to stay out here, and if I need you, I’ll holler.

Dave (as Lo moves): You mad man! You’re mad!

Field (putting the blood in the serum and putting it in a epi-pen): I think we’ve got it.

Loom walks over to the cat, with the injection in hand, Lo suddenly jumps and tries to shoot them, but he misses. Lo jumps up on Field, and begins choking him.

Field (stabbing Lo’s shoulder with the epi-pen): You’re ruining my experiments!

Lo (seeing his cat): YOU!

Dave runs in, Loom manages to scrape the cat (he injects her tail) as Dave punches him, instantly killing him.
