:19:01
You better help this friend of yours
get off the yellow stuff.

:19:04
- It'll kill him.
- How do I get him to kick?

:19:09
- Kick?
- H-How do I get him off it?

:19:12
Oh.
:19:15
Mix it with this.
:19:18
Gradually increase the percentage of black
without telling your friend...

:19:22
and he'll lose his taste
for the bug powder soon enough.

:19:31
What is it?
What does it do?

:19:33
Oh, it's all natural.
It's made from, uh...

:19:36
aquatic Brazilian centipede
or some such outlandish thing.

:19:40
It shuts down the brain's
response to the bug powder. That's all.

:19:44
The powder becomes
irrelevant to the addict...

:19:46
and the addict then
ceases to be addicted.

:19:48
Side effects?
:19:52
Nothing that will surprise the addict.
:19:55
But, uh, before I -
before I do your cure...

:19:58
I've gotta score some bug powder.
:20:02
Score?
:20:04
You're not trying to... pull a fast one
on the old doctor, are you?

:20:08
I came here for help.
:20:11
Of course you did.
:20:17
Phew!
:20:19
My God.
:20:21
It smells like a... tainted cheese.
:20:27
You'll see how elegantly this works.
:20:31
The black will disappear completely.
:20:42
And there'll be no smell,
no discoloration.

:20:46
It's like an agent -
:20:47
an agent who's come to believe
his own cover story...

:20:50
but who's in there, hiding...
:20:53
in a larval state...
:20:55
just waiting
for the proper moment to hatch out.
