We open on him battling an intense case of insomnia.
Breakdance himself into exhaustion.
This, of course, fails miserably.
Go for a late night jog.
Only this time, we find a despondent Edgar battling a hand tremble and a soul-piercing internal noise.
Theres an electrician working on a light pole.
But as Edgar takes a closer look, we find the electrician is staring right at Edgar.
Reporting into his walkie talkie.
This undoubtedly freaks Edgar out.
*Side note: We will refer to this electrician as Edgars Tormentor from this point forward.
After breakfast is where the myriad of symptoms really begin to gain traction… Cut to Edgar chauffeuring a gyrating Gretchen atop Jimmys lap.
To calm himself, Edgar puts in a Yacht Rock cassette tape that he got from his brother.
The Chief then withdraws her Virtual Reality Treatment offer, sending Edgar down an emotional spiral.
Reeling from the disappointing news, he gets into his car and the world starts to morph around him.
His comforting Yacht Rock audio tape slows to a distorted level.
His soul piercing internal noise returns, more intense than ever.
He braces for impact every time he passes trash bags on the side of the road.
He hears helicopters following above him.
The hallucinatory cacophony concludes when Edgar cuts off three cars and swerves four lanes over to the nearest exit.
Cut to a broken Edgar drinking at the L.A. River.
He climbs up to look at it and notices all of the cars are passing him at incredible speed.
He thinks to himself, It wouldnt even necessarily seem like it was on purpose.
A young d-ish film student yells Cut!!
and chastises Edgar for ruining their take.
Edgar finally stands up for himself albeit to a 21-year-old d head.
Cut to a happy, free, andreallyhigh Edgar driving home… or is he?
He turns up the volume on his Yacht Rock audio tape and grabs the cassette case.
He looks closely and finds that his Tormentor is actually the lead singer in the Yacht Rock band.
Edgar finds this hilarious, and finally, for a few minutes, feels calm and at peace.
Hopefully hell get some sleep tonight.
