'''Bree Phone Home''' is the 100th video in the Lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==

(''Bree is alone in Jonas's library. She addresses the camera.'')

'''Bree:''' Daniel, I was really glad to hear from you after I saw your last video, 'cause... I was worried. You know, Jonas is a really nice guy and his offer still stands, so I hope you change your mind. P. Monkey and Owen have even offered to room together, so you'll have your own room. That's pretty generous.

On a more serious note, umm, I spent the last few days doing some research, trying to track down a few of my parent's old friends and some relatives. My family is actually scattered all over the globe, so, there are quite a few relatives that I haven't even met. For the purpose of today's phone calls, we're gonna be using good old fashion caller ID blocking, for a safety precaution. I learned my lesson about that once before.

A while back, I got into trouble making them with my friend Cassie. Looking back, I'm not even sure what was so funny about it. It's like, she would call people, and just try and freak them out by, either whispering "I'm watching." It was kinda creepy. The first time she came over, I just went along with it. I felt guilty, but it was kind of amusing. The second time, she went too far and of course, we hadn't thought to block my parent's caller ID. Even though I didn't make the phone calls, I ended up taking the blame when my parents confronted me. Apparently, they had a lot of angry call backs from some very upset people. My mom was furious.

''(Bree holds her hands up beside her head and makes horns with her fingers, and imitates fire coming out of her mouth and then steam coming out of her ears.)''

I kinda stopped talking to Cassie after that.

''(A Cup Of Blue by [http://www.myspace.com/stevewatkinsmusic Steve Watkins] begins playing.)''

I haven't seen her since.

''(Bree rocks in the chair, and talks on the phone.)''

Hi, I was wondering if you might be able to help me. My aunt-- Oh. Sure.

''(Bree sits in the counter with the trophies in the corner. Cut back to Bree in the chair.)''

I know! It's been a long time since camp. I was just wondering if maybe your parents have heard from my parents, at all.

''(The camera cuts to Bree on the counter, whistling and looking at her nails. Cut back to Bree in the chair.)''

No, I didn't get the birthday card. I haven't exactly been home in a while to check my mail. It's a long story.

''(Bree stands in front of the bookcases.)''

Oh, sorry if I woke you up.

''(Cut to Bree leaning down to the camera.)''

It's really late in England.

''(The camera cuts to Bree on the counter, whistling and slapping her knee. Cut back to Bree in the chair.)''

Excuse me? Oh, umm, how'd the ceremony go?

''(Bree beats the phone against her forehead.)''

P. Monkey? P. Monkey's alright. As good as a puppet can be. Owen? Owen is a... little bit depressed, actually. I think it's a bit of a seasonal depression.

I'm actually a little nervous about making the next call. My dad has always talked about my great uncle Franklin, but, I've never met him before. He lives in San Francisco.

''(Bree mumbles the number as she dials.)''

''(Bree listens to the phone, and looks confused.)''

That's weird. It says Powell's dry cleaners. It's just a message.After what happened with Gemma, maybe it's best that I don't have any contact with people from the community. So, there goes every single lead that I thought of. Back to square one for me.

''(Bree waves.)''

==Notes==
* When Bree talks about her friend [[Cassie]] she appears to be making a reference to the [[Cassieiswatching]] series. Many fans were intrigued by the first video, but felt the second video went too far by using images from a gruesome murder scene. When Bree says she was friends with Cassie it could be [[The Creators]] way of admitting that they were friends with the people who were responsible for Cassieiswatching.
* Bree's Uncle Franklin may be a reference to the [[Frankiswaking]] character in the Cassieiswatching [[Alternate Reality Game]].
* Fans (many of whom are involved in the [[OpAphid]] ARG) quickly figured out that [[Bree]]'s failed attempt to reach great uncle [[Franklin]] was actually a [[Bree Phone Home puzzle|puzzle]]. For more information on the puzzle and its solution, see '''[[Bree Phone Home puzzle]]'''.
* Some fans suspect that when Bree tells one of her contacts that she has not received the birthday card, she is actually talking to [[Tachyon]]. The suspicion arose because Tachyon's [[Drop 4 (The Lost Art of Punctuality)]] contained a (belated) birthday card meant for a girl (although it does not mention the addressee's name).

'''EPOGEN®''' is indicated for the treatment of anemia in patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis. EPOGEN® is generically known as Epoetin alfa, which is a man-man, injectible drug for the treatment of anemia primarily for patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis. Erythropoietin is a protein that is made in the body by the kidney, causing the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Normally, when there is a decrease or red blood cells or a deficiency in oxygen, more erythropoietin is produced, thus increasing the red blood cells. The erythropoietin that is used for therapy, called epoetin alfa, is man-made. It is a product of the genetic engineering of ovarian cells of the Chinese hamster and is produced through recombinant DNA technology in bacteria. It does not cure the underlying cause of the anemia, and unless the underlying cause can be reversed, treatment with epoetin alfa must be continued indefinitely. Epoetin alfa belongs to a class of drugs called colony-stimulating factors because of their ability to stimulate cells in the bone marrow to multiply and form colonies of identical cells. Important Product Safety Information EPOGEN® is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Erythropoietic therapies may increase the risk of seizures, thrombotic events, and other serious events. The target hemoglobin (Hb) should not exceed 12 g/dL. If the Hb increase exceeds 1.0 g/dL in any 2-week period, dose reductions are recommended. In a study with hemodialysis patients with clinically evident cardiac disease, where the target hematocrit (Hct) was 42% (Hb = 14 g/dL), an increased incidence of thrombotic events and mortality was seen. The reason for increased mortality observed in this study is unknown.Cases of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) and of severe anemia, with or without other cytopenias associated with neutralizing antibodies to erythropoietin, have been reported in patients treated with EPOGEN®. A sudden loss of response to EPOGEN®, accompanied by severe anemia and low reticulocyte count, should be evaluated. If anti-erythropoietin antibody-associated anemia is suspected, withhold EPOGEN® and other erythropoietic proteins. EPOGEN® should be permanently discontinued in patients with antibody-mediated anemia. Patients should not be switched to other erythropoietic proteins.The most commonly reported side effects in clinical trials were hypertension, headache, arthralgias, and nausea.
