Body Melt Page #4

---

This has been my quest.

13 male ribs.

When I chose you at the airport,

I became an image

of your deepest fears.

I am not your darkest fantasy.

There are many women

in the world like me,

and there are many men in

the world like you.

And we are all

in

your mind.

- Oh, hello.

- Mm.

- God.

What a d*ckhead.

- I had another one of those dreams.

Maybe my body's trying

to tell me something.

- Yeah?

You're pregnant?

- Morning.

Detective Phillips, CIB.

Just wanted to ask you

a few questions

about the accident the other day.

- Yes, awful, wasn't it?

- Do you know Mr. Matthews

over at number nine?

- We've only just shifted here.

This week, as a matter of fact.

Me and Brian, he's my husband,

we haven't met anyone

else in the court yet.

- No welcoming committee, aye?

Well, if you do happen to

see anybody over at number nine,

could you give us

a call on that number?

Thanks.

Oh, and congratulations.

- Thanks.

- [Doctor]

So, how's the new house?

- It's okay.

I didn't sleep too well

last night, though.

- [Doctor]

Oh, strange bedroom.

You'll get used to it.

It could also be the infant.

His protein intake is at the

highest at the moment,

particularly at night.

(laughs) Up until their birth,

babies are the ultimate parasite.

But, everything's under control,

so don't you worry.

And I'll see you at the

same time next week?

- See you then.

See you.

(phone rings)

- You alone?

- [Shaan] Yes, doctor.

- We have to decrease

Cheryl Rand's dosage.

- But that will invalidate

the results.

- [Doctor]

We can't help that.

The patient's overreacting.

- I suppose you're going

to ask for further retesting.

- We have no other choice.

- [Shaan]

But we can't turn back.

- We have to change

our strategy, my girl.

Ever since your boyfriend

foamed at the mouth

and kamikazed into Pebbles Court,

we have to rethink our position.

- How was I supposed to know he

could handle that dose?

- Well, don't you see

that is the problem?

The drug still too unpredictable.

- But I have set up an

exclusive dealership

with one of the largest chain

stores in this country.

If we delay delivery of the first...

- F*** the chain store,

what about the cops?

Something is wrong.

Your boyfriend under-reacted.

Cheryl Rand is overreacting.

Mm.

Mm.

What about the Tortelli kids,

have they turned up for their

hormonal research yet?

They haven't, have they?

- But we can run

simultaneous sperm tests

on the Noble family

without halting the

Cheryl Rand experiment.

- Do not question me, Shaan.

If this thing goes wrong,

it will be worse than phthalimide.

(phone beeps)

- Beauville!
