(clapping)

If we can get our top five Festril writers to grow by

...that should move our overall market share by

We'd be in the running for the trip to Greece.

Plus a very nice bonus package.

What about a speaker program at Le Fleur? That

restaurant always brings the doctors in.

Or Green Bay Football tickets with a party bus.

I can take Dr. Scallon and Waters to the spa.

What? I could you a massage and a manicure, as

long as Uncle Andrews is paying.

What do you think Karly?

Bzzzzzzzzzz. (Alarm clock ringing)

Bzzzzzzzzzz. (Alarm clock ringing)

# (whistling... ) I was thinking yesterday...

(singing) You are so tasty.

Love suits you well, missy.

Love? Who said anything about love? I'm

quitting my job.

What did you just say?

Don't get your panties in a bundle. I'm not quitting

today.

I'm quitting October 30th, exactly 6 months from

today.

Good for you girl.

Thank you.

Ok, so why are you quitting?

I can't do it anymore. I just can't. I'm done,

somebody stick a fork in me, because I am done.

I'm done kissing butt, done spinning a bunch of

crap.

I'm done looking for angles, done wining and

dining, done.

D-O-N-E DONE!!!!!! Um-hmmm.

So how the heck are you going to do it for the

next 6 months?

Well, I think for the next 6 months I should just do

what I was hired to do, educate the doctors.

So does Zestran work?

About as well as the others.

Price?

We're more expensive; actually we're almost

double the cost.

Side effects?

Patients won't sh*t for a week.

I see, well then why should I use Zestran?

Because I am going to perfectly straight with you.

You're going to know exactly what your patients

are getting with this drug: The good, the bad, the

ugly.

Not some sugarcoated version with hopes that

you don't know any better.

Fine, but tell me how is Festril different than

Tevaquin?

It's not.

Well, alright then. (laughing)

(laughing)

# Feed your body with rhythm and soul. Step in

the sunshine...

Oh, I'm taking that one. Yea

Yea right, like you can eat all that.

Ohhhhh watch me.

My God.

You know I haven't ever really figured out this

whole grill your own deal. Doesn't it defeat the

purpose of...

...going out to eat and having somebody else

cook for you?

Not if you still like it mooing. Just give me a cow

and a salt shaker and I am one happy camper.

You're like no woman I've ever met.

Is that a compliment?

Sure.

You know I would never have had the balls to do

this, if it wasn't for you.

Well, I'm hoping you still don't have any balls.

(laugh)

Here's to 6 months.

Bzzzzzzzzzz. (Alarm clock ringing)

# I can't wait one minute more...

So you know, just look at the results and you will

see.

What is that?
