Dorothy's eyes stop glowing, and she lets go of the mental vice on Rose's mind. Rose doubles over in relief.

ROSE
Made...sure? What do you mean?

DOROTHY
He came by the day after the party. The nerve of that boy! Walks right up to me and asks to see you. No manners. No home training. So I blasted him.

ROSE
You did what?! Oh my God! Are you serious? I never liked any of those creeps you set me up with! But I find one person on my own and...and you kill him?!

DOROTHY
Oh, don't be so dramatic, Rose. I didn't kill him. But he won't bother us again. I laced the neuro-blast with an inhibitor. It's very painful. If he's stupid enough to wake up, he'll never be able to think of you again without severely damaging his brain.
