Ah, reminds me of my favorite scene from a criminally underappreciated film, Brain Candy. In this scene, Big Pharma researchers are being interviewed to see whose projects will be cut.

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST: Well, I’ve been working on a thing. It’s, uh, sorta like Stummies.

DON: Go on. I like what I hear.

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST: It’s exactly like Stummies.

DON: And the twist is?

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST: It’s a much bigger pill.

DON: I like it a lot. Is it ready for production?

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST: Yes sir, it’s ready to go.

DON: Yeah, have there been any side effects?

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST Yes sir, a few side effects.

NATALIE: Well that’s OK. As long as there’s no flipper babies, right Don?

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST: Well…there have been a few flipper babies.

(cuts to being dragged out by security)

BIG STUMMIES SCIENTIST: Aaaaah! It was only a couple of flipper babies!
