When being attacked by a giant lizard on your way to an awards ceremony, one should try to remain calm, keep your dignity, avoid expletives like, "Fuck you, crazy bitch-ass lizard!", and if not eaten alive, try to carry on as though nothing has happened.
(Also, DO NOT eat sushi within 24hrs of the encounter. DO NOT visit a library alone. DO NOT purchase any new bedding items, pillow covers or the like.)
