really big goal to hit.

We have until Decemberto hit the mega double.

Double the profits, double the growth.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for a really bad

respiratory season; lots of pneumonia, lots of sinus

infections. (chuckling)

Also, keep in mind that we that we are gearing up

for the Vivexx launch.

Potentially the biggest drug to hit the market ever!

So, are we all on the same page?

Listen, just remember team...

...what our job really is ultimately about is to

protect and prolong human life.

It's the Braden-Andrews Credo.

All right get out of here, have a good weekend.

Karly.

Yea

Just a word with you. Actually the district

numbers weren't down that bad over all.

What dragged us down was your territory.

Um um, well I.

I don't want excuses, OK I just want you to get the

job done.

Corporate will not hesitate to get somebody who

will.

OK:

Oh, and I almost forgot, you are now going to be

doing reminder calls for Glucadox...

I don't know anything about diabetes.

It's just a reminder.

But what if the doctor asks me something about

the drug or the disease or other treatments?

Then just refer him to our medical department.

OK:

Are you on board here Karly?

Yea.

Okay.

Nice stain.

Yea. Thanks.

Hi Dad.

Yea honey, I don't know if I am going to able to

make the trip. Things are a little tight around here.

No problem. Okay.

Rough day?

Did I just see you at the rep meeting?

Unfortunately, yea.

I haven't seen you around here before.

And you won't. This is my first and last week.

Really?

Uh-huh.

So then he says to me, "Do you think you could

snag me a couple samples of Viagra?"

And I'm like how the heck are you supposed to

respond to that?

Um Dad, I'm not sure I should be snagging you

samples of anything.

Oh God, I can't believe I just told you that story.

He sounds like quite the funny guy.

So tell me again, you're going to quit just like that?

Just like that.

I wish I could quit.

Then do it.

You make it sound so easy.

Well you're making it more difficult than it is.

Yeah, but what about bills and having to buy a car.

Hey, can we finish this conversation tomorrow?

There is something I want to show you.

(giggling) I'd love to.

# There was something in the air...

# There was something in the air...

This is gorgeous.

We're only 10 miles from town?

Would you like to come in?

What is this?

This, is the kitchen, where I imagine you will be

cooking me breakfast in about 12 months.

(laughing) Well, that is highly unlikely for several

reasons.

Such as?

Number 1, I can't cook a lick.

Ok, well I will put a toaster right here. You can

operate a toaster can't you?

Well, that brings us to problem number 2.
