Explanation:
There is no exact equivalent for
to be eager in Lithuanian, so there are
many ways to translate your sentence (which per se is somewhat bizzare).

Jis nori (trokšta) kuo greičiau išvemti viską, ką išgirdo tą naktį (or: vakarą, if evening is meant).

Your must have meant regurgitate...

Explanation:
I do agree with Mr Stilius' answer regarding 'to be eager'.

However,I am not so sure about the meaning of 'regurgitate' in this sentence . Apart from the meaning

'to bring (swallowed food) up again to the mouth',

regurgitate also means

'reproduce, rehash (information, etc.)'

Therefore, my suggestion would be:

'Jis troksta atgaminti tai, ka isgirdo ta baisiaja nakti'.

Jei labai nepatinka \'atgaminti\', galima pasakyti ir kitaip, pvz.,

Jis labai nori smulkiai prisiminti tai, ka isgirdo ta baisiaja nakti.
