Ah! Oh my God! What's wrong? Alvina! I pricked my thumb. You pricked your thumb? I know! I'm bleeding! Show it to me! Here, be gentle.

Ow! Oh dear. Just as I feared. What? There's nothing for it. We're going to have to call Kozlovsky. Kozlovsky? No time to lose.

We have to remove it before the infection spreads. Remove my thumb? The arm, I was thinking. Better safe than sorry. Don't worry. I'm sure Kozlovsky can kit you out with a new arm by the end of the day. We've just received a fresh bat from the mortuary. Alvina?

Yes? You don't think it's a bit... What? Drastic. Do you think it's a bit drastic? Well, I... Do you think maybe a plaster might do the trick? You know what?

I think it might. Shall we try that first, then? Let's. Look, here we go. Okay, be careful. Would you like a nice teddy bear plaster? Ooh, yes, yes, thank you. Okay, now be a brave boy.

Here we go. Don't squeeze too hard. And done. I'm going to leave you now. Is that okay? I think I'll be fine. You're sure you don't want me to call Kozlovsky? No.

I think I feel better already. Good. So, you're ready to receive the next client? Client? Yes. Yes, of course. Mr... Mrs...

Mr... E... Y... Jones... Y... Jones... Smith... Don't pretend you have even the foggiest who he is. I know you don't read my client reports. I like to be...

Surprised, I know. I don't know why I bother sometimes. Keep an eye on that thumb. If it turns green, we need to act fast. I'll tell Kozlowski to set a few limbs aside, just in case. This teddy bear has a polka dot bow tie. Luke Dougal. Episode 8 of The Amelia Project. Coming soon.
