LEON

I'm losing my patience Renee will you let it go!?

RENEE

What ever are you talking about?

LEON

I understand you're upset about the whole spider thing, but you're seriously disrupting my work!

RENEE

Oh, and what work is that? I've honestly never seen you do anything around here. Yeah you get the info for Mina's statements, but that shouldn't take more than a few hours. I see you glued to your desk for days! So tell me Mr. Sectretive; what do you do here all day?

LEON

I do my job, something you should be doing instead of pestering me.

RENEE

No, seriously Leon, what do you do all day, what are you even-? Leon... why are you booking a ferry to Ireland?

LEON

That doesn't concern you, does it?

RENEE

No, it kinda does. What's a recluse like you goin' to Dublin for?

LEON

I told you, work.

RENEE

Now I gotta complain to Mina, she's giving you all the fun jobs, you get to go to Dublin while I have to call all these statement givers and have them chew my ear out about how I'm not doin' a good job.

LEON

Maybe you should be nicer to them and stop giving them an attitude.

RENEE

Remind me to do that the next time you're a decent human being.

ARCHIVIST

Statement of Michael Belevich regarding their OCD and the following treatment. Original statement was transcribed on August 19, 1999 in front of his door as he would not let our researcher come inside. Audio recording by Mina Lavanya, head archivist of the Belen Institute, London.

Statement begins.

ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT)

I.
Hate.
Dirt.
And grime, and all things messy. The English language does not have a word strong enough to describe my feelings for filth so "hate" will have to do. This is a completely reasonable disgust. I lived with someone in college who did not clean, did not shower, they were filth incarnate, and want to know what happened to them? They died 2 months later, slipped on their own mess and cracked their skull on the corner of the kitchen countertop. The floor was so dirty, I wouldn't be surprised if their rotting corpse got infected.
