Object
Barney's Massage
Barney offers massage as one of several grooming treatments in the Refreshing Department to the Doctor, Polly, Ben, and Pilot. The colony's mechanized process leaves the Doctor with tamed hair and polished clothes, prompting his discomfort and dive into the rough and tumble machine for reversal. Guests react differently: Polly admires grooming, Ben relaxes, while the Doctor rejects the imposed refinement.
