- But he talks like he does.

- Oh, yeah.

That's Bob Arctor.

He talks like he does many things.

That's not the same, my friend.

That's not the same thing.

Donna has an aversion to bodily contact.

I mean, junkies lose their interest in sex,

you realize...

...due to organs swelling up

from vasoconstriction.

And I have observed in her

an inordinate failure of sexual arousal...

...not just toward Bob Arctor...

...but other males as well.

I can't believe she doesn't put out.

Well, she would

if she were handled right.

For instance, I could show you

how to sleep with her...

...for less than 3 dollars.

I don't wanna sleep with her.

I wanna buy from her.

Donna does coke, all right?

Three dollars doesn't get you

a line of coke.

That's where you're wrong, pal.

What they've deliberately done...

...is mix the cocaine with the oil

so it cannot be extracted.

But my knowledge of chemistry

is such...

...that I know precisely how to

separate the oil from the cocaine.

Now, now I will freeze it.

Cause cocaine crystals to rise to the top

because they are lighter than the oil.

The terminal step, of course,

I keep to myself, but suffice to say...

...it involves an intricate and

methodological process of filtering.

How long is it gonna be in there?

Just about a half an hour.

You know, I've been thinking, Barris.

Even if we do get a pure gram of cocaine

out of this deal...

...I don't wanna use it on Donna

to get in her pants.

- That'd be like buying her.

- No, it'd be an exchange.

You give her a gift,

and she gives you one.

Besides, we're talking about

Bob's girl here.

And this is his house. He's my friend.

He lets you and Luckman live here.

There's a great deal about Bob Arctor

you're not aware of.

How did New Path rig it?

They're the one place in our entire

country that can't be scanned.

All the rest of us can be tracked

...but no, not at New Path.

Hey, that's their contract

with the government.

But I think you're right, it would be

a good place for a dealer to hide.

What about Donna Hawthorne?

I'm systematically working up

to her supplier.

The quantities I'm buying now

are basically beyond her capacity.

She doesn't have

enough front money to handle it.

Matter of time before she's hooking me

up with the next person up the ladder.

I think soon we'll have somebody

who knows something...

...and they'll be worth busting.

What about Jim Barris

and Ernie Luckman?

Same sh*t. Nothing new.

Well, what about Charles Freck

and Robert Arctor?

- Up to pretty much the same old thing.

- Even Arctor?

Arctor?

Yeah, he doesn't seem

to be doing much.

Still working his nowhere,

Handy Brake and Tire job.
