In the morning Sam found himself at Gene's place, but for the life of him he couldn't remember how he got there.

"About time you woke up, sleeping beauty."

"Huh?"

"Here, drink up.  What's up with you anyway?  You spent all night cryin' into your drink about how it's 2007."

"Tastes like horseshit."

"I'll have you know it's the Gene Genie's patented hangover cure."

"What's in it?"

"Hair of the dog.  Now what about 2007?"

"Nothing, Gene.  Nothing at all.  I'm where I belong now - right here."

"That's more like it, Sammy boy!"

Gene hugged him and Sam was content.
