- Gums
He's not gonna do it.
- Teeth
Oh, he'll do it. What did it say on the calendar?
- Gums
I don't know.
- Teeth
Denial doesn't make things go away, gums. You're old enough to know that.
- Gums
No, I seriously don't know. I can't see, remember?
- Teeth
Oh, right. Eyes, what did it say?
- Eyes
"Dentist appointment, 3 PM." Also, "Return The Blind Side."
- Ears
Wait, why did we watch that again?
- Brain
Shut up. It was touching.
- Teeth
Guys, I like our three-hour discussions about The Blind Side as much as the next body part, but now isn't the time. We've got an appointment with the dentist in five hours, and what does he do every morning this happens?
- Gums
- Teeth
He tries to make up for six months of forgetting that gums are a part of his body in one morning, exactly. And what does that mean he's going to do?
- Gums
- Teeth
It means he's going to
- Gums
No! Don't say it!
- Teeth
Floss.
- Gums
NO! He wouldn't!
- Teeth
He's reaching for it right now.
- Gums
But it's just string! For the love of God, it's just string! How is rubbing it against me healthy? How?!
- Teeth
If he doesn't do it now, the dentist is going to scold him. And what happens then?
- Brain
We're six-years-old again, and Mrs. Balt is chiding us for not washing our hands in front of the whole class, and Jessica Peterson is there, and we're so embarrassed we have to throw a rock at her during freeze tag.
- Gums
Ok, but still, I'll bet this time he's not going to do it. He's probably just picking up the floss to see how heavy it is and twirling it around his fingers to make them turn purple and OH GOD I'M BLEEDING! HE'S ONLY DONE THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT TEETH AND THERE'S ALREADY SO MUCH BLOOD!
- Ears
You know what the problem with that movie is? It doesn't challenge the audience enough.
- Gums
WHY DO I DESERVE SUCH PAIN?! WHO DID I ANGER?!
- Penis
Do you think we'll have the hot dental hygienist this time? I feel like I haven't gotten hard at the dentist's office in forever.
- Gums
ELI ELI LAMA SABACHTHANI?! ELI ELI LAMA SABACHTHANI?!
- Brain
Is that Aramaic? When did we learn Aramaic? I don't remember paying attention in World Religions.
- Gums
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!
- Teeth
Relax, gums. He's done.
- Gums
Ok ok. Ok. I think ok.
- Eyes
Damn, this sink looks like a prop from The Shining.
- Ears
The Shining! Now there's a movie that wasn't afraid to challenge its audience!
- Gums
Oh, man that was rough. But it's all over, right?
- Teeth
Well, yeah, until five hours from now when we go to the dentist's office and the same thing happens, only with a sharp metal probe instead of string.
- Gums
Like I said, it's all over. Now, what's for breakfast?
- Tongue
Cap'n Crunch. We're out of milk, though.
- Gums
Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me.
