[Laura speaks quietly and directly to the point.]

I'd like to apologize to everyone I encountered while we were stuck in that hotel.

[And that's it, until people speak back to her.]

[PRIVATE to Jesse]

I'm sorry for everything. I can't say that wasn't me back there...but it was forced out of me, and it's a part of myself I didn't want introduced to anyone.

I don't know what I showed you while I was fucked up, but I remember the look on your face. I'm so sorry.

[PRIVATE to Wanda]

I think we should talk some more.

It's not fine. I scared you.

[She hesitates.]

What...did you see, exactly?

[She doesn't think it could be the stain BOB left on her soul. She can feel when that comes out of hiding, but maybe the hotel kept that from her. That would be bad.]

Nothing much. [Zombie. Freaky-ass zombie.] I mean, it's no big, really. I was talking to the air the whole time anyways, right?

It's a big deal to me. I need to be able to control these things.

No one was in control. [But he's a little unsure. Is whatever he saw likely to come back on the boat? Is that what she means?]

Did my lips go black, my skin white and my teeth yellow?

[She finally just asks outright if it was the residue of BOB, because she's only shown it twice on the Barge before: once to Paddy, intentionally, and to Miss Parker by accident. It's an ugly change and she doesn't want it known to anyone else.]
