John. Bagley.
I want to see you.

:57:27
No, no. Just a couple of fuses blew.
Stitches coming out in a week.

:57:31
Listen, we've got to talk
about this pimple cream.

:57:34
Yeah, I know he has.
Forget the problems.

:57:38
I'll take care of the problems.
They're gonna love waiting for it.

:57:42
It's a massacre.
:57:44
But I've gotta warn you,
at first it might sound ridiculous.

:57:48
It's radical
and not without its risks,

:57:51
but I'm certain
I can pull it off.

:57:53
And what it is
is Lawrence of Arabia...

:57:57
in a little town called Aqaba.
:58:00
The last thing they expected
was for Lawrence...

:58:03
to come roaring across
the desert and attack them from behind.

:58:05
It seemed impossible.
And because it was impossible,

:58:08
all their defenses
faced the wrong way.

:58:11
And that's how I want to sell
this pimple cream.

:58:14
I want to come in from behind
where they least expect me,

:58:17
just like Lawrence of Arabia.
:58:19

:58:22
Now. As I see it...
:58:25
we've gotta forget this
for at least three months.

:58:28
I estimate that as
the very minimum we need...

:58:31
to create the ravenous
market I'm after.

:58:33
- And how are you gonna do that?
- By glamorizing boils.

:58:37
- Glamorize them?
- That's right. Make them fashionable.

:58:41
I want to encourage every kid
to take pride in his breakouts.

:58:44
I want to sell them the idea
that boils are beautiful.

:58:48
If I can do that, I can treble
the market at a minimum.

:58:51
If you want to sell 'em bombs,
you've got to sell 'em fear.

:58:54
If you want to sell this pimple
cream. You've got to encourage pimples.

:58:57
How?
