:12:01
I´ve done a lot of experimenting with this kind
ofthing. But l´m through with all of that now.
:12:07
- Oh, Mr Oxly. Dr Fulton´s here.
:12:10
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning. You can come in now,
:12:13
- ifyou´re not too busy.
- Miss Laurel was showing me her acetates.
:12:17
Yes... No calls, please.
:12:19
Yes, sir.
:12:21
- Barnaby, I want to talk to you.
- Yes, sir.
:12:23
I´m very much interested
in this new experiment ofyours.
:12:27
As a matter offact, l´m all steamed up
about it. How´s it coming?
:12:30
Our problem is to increase
the efficiency ofthe formula.
:12:33
- Could be quite a thing.
- I stumbled onto something
:12:36
- that may be of help.
- That´s good news.
:12:38
Oh, I wanted you to see
this advertising layout.
:12:41
I want your opinion. We jumped the gun
a little, but I thought we´d better be ready.
:12:47
Well, why B-4?
:12:49
´´Be-fore´´, as in ´´before and after´´.
:12:52
Emphasises the youth angle.
:12:54
Get it?
:12:56
- What´s the vulture doing?
- That´s a phoenix, a mythical bird,
:12:59
rising out ofthe ashes of age.
:13:02
Makes the youth point again.
:13:03
- Dignified, yet forceful.
- Do you mind a comment, Mr Oxly?
:13:07
- Not at all. I´d welcome it.
- I think it´s appalling.
:13:10
- From what point of view?
- It´s lurid and inaccurate.
:13:13
It implies that it´s some sort
of ´´fountain of youth´´ drug.
:13:16
But wouldn´t it make people young?
:13:18
Mr Oxly, we´re working with
a large number of ingredients,
:13:22
each ofwhich accomplishes
certain beneficial results.
:13:25
- Well?
- Well, it depends upon
:13:27
which combination of ingredients we use,
and the proportions in which we use them.
:13:32
We may never find the right combination,
or the exact proportions,
:13:36
to produce the effect you´re talking about.
It would be a miracle.
:13:39
- But you can do it, my boy.
:13:42
- I told you I didn´t want any calls.
- Mr Oxly, Dr Lenton´s on the phone.
:13:46
- He says it´s very important.
- Who is he?
:13:49
- He´s...
- He´s my new assistant.
:13:51
Oh, yes. Oh, just a moment, Miss Laurel.
:13:55
- Find someone to type this.
- Oh, Mr Oxly, can´t I try again?
:13:59
No, it´s very important.
Better find someone to type it for you.
