  Raymond Halder : You went to a lot of trouble to make a misdemeanor stick. What is it? Five hundred dollars fine and six months in jail?

  Rollin Hand : That's just for making the drugs.

  James Phelps : You confessed to selling them. But your tax returns didn't show any income from those sales.

  Cinnamon Carter : Which means, Mr. Halder, you're gonna spend the next 20 years in a federal prison for tax fraud.

• Charles Gant : Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Charles Gant, President of Gant Pharmaceuticals. As you all know, Our drug, Dilatrin, has been so widely counterfeited. We have no choice but to withdraw it from the market. However, I think we have devised a plan that will enable us to reissue the drug, and at the same time, greatly reduce the possibility of counterfeiting. Miss Katherine Borden, of our drug security section has worked out the details. I shall ask her to explain them to you.

  Cinnamon Carter : This is the current Dilatrin tablet with which we're all familiar. This is a drawing of what the new tablet Is going to look like. You will notice, we have not colored in the tablet. We intend to change the color, As well as the identifying Trademark, every 30 days. These changes will be announced to you by our representatives only. Try to make your initial purchase just enough to cover that 30-day period. This should allow us to stay one step ahead of any drug counterfeiters Who might attempt to duplicate the tablet.

• Cinnamon Carter : Therefore we suggest you return all the Dilatrin you have in stock to us. As a point of information, we've discovered that the counterfeits tend to crumble very easily. Are there any questions?

  Raymond Halder : I'm Raymond Halder, Halder Clinics. We have millions of your Dilatrin tablets on hand. Will we be reimbursed when we turn them in?

  Charles Gant : Well, obviously, Mr. Halder, we can't do that. It's costing us a great deal already just to redesign the tablet and change the color every month.

  Cinnamon Carter : And now, ladies and gentlemen, if there are any further questions, I'll be very glad to answer them.

• Cinnamon Carter : Wow. The room suddenly started spinning around.

  Barney Collier : The Ultrasonic Waves penetrate to the inner ear. This causes temporary vertigo.

  Rollin Hand : One of the symptoms of primary vascular disease, right, doctor?

  Dr. McConnell : That"s right, vertigo, headaches, high blood pressure. Usually the headaches come first.

  James Phelps : These frames are identical to the ones Halder wears. Only the lenses have been altered slightly.

  Dr. McConnell : That will take care of his headaches. What about his blood pressure reading?

  James Phelps : Well, even though he's lost his license, he was a trained physician. Still keeps a medical bag In the trunk of his car. All we have to do is get to that bag and make some slight, uh, adjustments.

• Cinnamon Carter : Well, the compression, texture, and shape are fine. I don't taste any medication at all. What's in these tablets?

  Raymond Halder : The same thing we use in Penicillin, Digitalis, Insulin, whatever we make -- milk powder.

  Cinnamon Carter : Let's see how the coating looks.

• James Phelps : Doctor... What about the laser?

  Dr. McConnell : When I direct the laser beam into the two balloons, it will pass harmlessly through the clear balloon and break the red, inner balloon.In a human being, it will pass through the skin iand rupture the subdermal blood vessel.

  Cinnamon Carter : Will there be any permanent damage?

  Dr. McConnell : No more than a simple bruise or nosebleed.
