:18:02
It's evidence, they say.
:18:03
Yeah. It's an embarrassment, yes.
:18:09
Is that why you tried to lift mine?
:18:14
That's unkind, Edward.
:18:16
"Lift" is unkind.
:18:20
I'm doing a job for a friend.
:18:25
The centipedes, Edward.
The centipedes are getting downright arrogant.

:18:29
They're starting to attack his children.
:18:32
Take it from me, Bill.
:18:34
You're not the first one
to develop a bug powder problem.

:18:38
See this man.
:18:40
He'll help ya.
:18:43
"Dr. A. Benway...
:18:46
General Practitioner."
:18:50
Bug powder?
:18:53
- You mean, uh, pyrethrum?
- Yes.

:18:56
Hmm. I get a lot of you folks
in the extermination trade.

: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.
