I hope...

I hope you're not going to tell me

that there's been some trouble,

- I mean someone's allergic to it.

- That would upset you, wouldnt it?

Look, all we can do is look for

something common to most people.

If there's no reason to forbid the use

of a product, then we have to okay it.

( growling )

- And in this case, it was...

- ( snarling )

In this case it was a pleasure.

It was an absolute pleasure

because I love it! I love it!

- Oh, you eat The Stuff?

- All the time.

- I feed it to Ben. Ben has some.

- You feed the dog The Stuff?

Absolutely. Ben eats it all the time.

Right, Ben?

( growling )

Well, I... I suppose if both of you eat it,

it's got to be all right.

- Yes. It's really good.

- ( snarling, barking )

But I understand that

you're not a chemist, Mr Vickers.

No. I'm an administrator, but, uh...

but I can give you the names

of some of the people on the panel.

Well, I tried that already

and for some strange reason,

they're all out of the country

or deceased.

- What a shame.

- Yeah.

Say, where did you test The Stuff?

- Stader.

- Stader Virginia?

I still have some preliminary

worksheets in my office.

Maybe you should look at them.

Nothing confidential.

I'd appreciate that. I'd Xerox them

and send them right back to you.

You're lucky.

I never throw anything away.

( dog panting )

- ( barking )

- Ben! Good boy!

Why is your master afraid of you?

Huh?

You hungry? Want something to eat?

Come on. Let's go in the kitchen.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have offered

you a cup of coffee or a soft drink.

I felt like a glass of water,

but I'm not thirsty any more.

These are some of my old documents,

just a lot of old names.

Well, thanks very much.

I appreciate it.

It's my pleasure. ( chuckles )

I'll get copies of this

as soon as possible.

- Well, take your time.

- Goodbye, Ben!

- ( Ben whines )

- You've been a good boy, Ben.

I've got a treat for you.

In fact, I have a treat for both of us.

We deserve it, don't we?

( jingle blaring out )

Taste that satisfies

My big exciting sweet surprise

One lick is never enough

of The Stuff

Stays cold

and never melts away...

2:
30am and they still keep coming.

One lick is never enough

of The Stuff

Never melts, never melts...

( snarling )

Help me! No!

Help me!

( screams )

( snarling )

No! Stop it!

Ben, no! Ben!

( barking )

I'll buy more!

( screaming )

( honks horn )

MAN:
Okay, I'm comin'. I'm comin'.

- What can I do for you?

- Fill her up.

Fill her up. Yeah.

There's nice clean restrooms

out there, if you want to.

I must have taken the wrong turn-off

here somewhere.

- This is Stader, isn't it?

- Yes, it is.

I know somebody here.
