Eli picks up the straw and sucks down some chicken .

ELI
SOPHIE This is the new normal , so get used it .
He looks down at the slop and from his POV , slurps every last drop .
SOPHIE ( CONT ' D ) I ’ ll handle the dishes .
INT . BATHROOM - LATER
Eli gently tugs at a curly nipple hair growing out of the skin flap .
DR . MORRIS ( V . O .) We had to use hair-bearing skin grafts , so you may experience unusual hair growth . Just be careful when shaving .
He dips his razor in water and goes at it ... until blood droplets stain the white sink basin .
Dammit !
ELI
There ’ s a small slice . He covers it with pieces of toilet paper .
MONTAGE OF ELI ’ S MUNDANE LIFE Eli reads “ Tuesdays with Morrie ” in bed . He takes off his bedside light and goes to sleep . He slurps down more food . He watches people from his living room window . He shaves ... cuts himself again , but not as badly . He continues reading , making a sizable dent in the book . He goes to sleep .
