Side Effects Page #4

Must be nice to be the queen bee on the radar

screen.

# Shivering as I enter the dark days of winter.

Sweetie, I'll be home next week. I promise. Give

your brother a hug for me.

You need to be a big boy and stop crying. Stop it!

Stop crying!

Put Daddy on the phone, Put Daddy on the

phone! (sigh)

I didn't know you had kids.

Not until you're my boss. Good night Dan.

(beep, beep, beep ring, ring)

(Ring, ring, ring)

# And it's so cold outside.

You've been getting quite a few kitchen passes

lately.

Kiss my ass.

So how are things with the little lady?

Been a little busy.

Ah, she dumped you.

Ok, thank you so much.

I'll talk to you next week.

Yea, I'll give you a call. They were beautiful. Bye.

Hey stranger.

Hi.

Who's your friend?

Just a realtor, I'm just sort of window shopping.

Can I see?

It's nice.

I can't really take it. Sorry.

You know what the date is?

Oh, October 27th.

It's exactly 6 months from when we met.

I can tell you're busy.

I'll see you later, OK?

(sigh)

(sigh)

(sigh)

If you'll look here at the graph on the right,

you'll notice a definite increase in efficacy.

And that efficacy extended over the following nine

months.

So can I have your guarantee that your next 20

prescriptions will be of Festril?

OK:

Fabulous.

I'm convinced.

You can keep the pen.

Thank you. Do you have any hats?

Well, I can get you some.

Hi.

Hi.

What do say we go out tonight, have a quiet

dinner?

I would love to, but I have to work. I have a

dinner program.

What if I came with you?

I don't think you really want to.

Aren't the doctors bringing their spouses?

Yea, but.

OK:

You guys are just going to be amazed at the

benefits of this drug,

I mean really they have not found nothing better

on the market at this time.

The results have just been thrilling.

Nice job Karly.

I'll second that.

You must be pretty proud of Karly.

She's definitely our best rep, I have never seen

anyone move market share like her.

Did she tell you that she was nominated for

"Industry Rep of the Year".

The winner will be announced at the AAPC, the

top players from all the major companies will be

there.

The press. The top industry reps from all the

health care providers.

Mhmmm. If you will excuse me, I just have to run

to the ladies room.

I'll join you.

Even more importantly, did she tell you that she is

going to be bringing home some major bacon?

Did she tell you that they have her on the

management track?

Management track?

It's just talk.

So I am taking it that you did not enjoy yourself.

Can't say that I did.

This whole scene.

You know, you asked to come,

Yea

Yea

Because it was the only way I could get some

time with you.

Watching you tonight was a hard pill to swallow.

I guess I thought we were on the same page.

And what page was that exactly?

You know if it weren't for this industry, who else

would research cures for diseases?

Who else would invest the millions that it takes to

bring a new drug to market.

You know some day, you are going to be pretty

damn glad...

when some big BAD pharmaceutical company

was wiling to invest in a new treatment

when it was you, or your Mom or your Dad who

has been hoping and praying,

that someone would give them hope during the

course of their disease.

Save the propaganda, I learned those lines

verbatim from pharmaceutical sales 101.

You don't get it do you?

Will the real Karly Hert please stand up?

Which one am I talking to now? I could not care

less about corporate America.

It's not the pharmaceutical industry I am

interested in spending the rest of my life with.

Decent people they don't push dangerous

medicines into other people's bodies.

Dangerous medicines?

Like your Vivexx.

There is plenty good reading on the Internet Karly.

But you probably prefer to stick to the company's

literature.

(Crying)

If we are going to have a successful launch of

Vivexx,

If we are going to have a successful launch of

Vivexx,

it has to be on 75% of HMO formularies prior to

launch.

Successful launch? Are you kidding me? This is

slated to be the biggest drug launch of the 21st

century.

Vivexx is going to make Prozac look like penny

candy.

This drug is so superior in efficacy that any HMO

that doesn't pay for it can be sued for negligence.

What do you think Karly? Can you sell this drug

without formulary coverage?

(clears throat)

Not so fast, there is something that we need to

discuss.

What the hell is this?

A few case reports. There seem to be a few liver

issues popping up.

Not on my watch, Not Vivexx.

Take a look.

Arghh, deaths?

Three.

have been any number of things.

alcohol, not taking any other meds.

I don't buy it. What about the others?

All showed signs of elevated enzymes upon

administration of Vivexx, all showed decreases

once the medication was stopped.

Karly, could you please excuse us.

Yea. Of course.

Shelve it.

What?

You heard me.

But,

Who knows?

The case reports are randomly distributed in the

US, one or two are bound to end up in the medical

journals.

One or two case reports are not going to alert the

press and maybe not even the FDA.

significant benefit from this drug.

I am not going to let a few miscellaneous case

reports stop or slow the launch of this drug.

That is not for you to decide.

Again, who knows?

(toilet flush)

Karly? Girl, I feel 10 pounds lighter.

Why so glum, chum?

I'm just tired.

You better wake up, 'cause we have a party to

catch.

I really can't believe that they let you bring a guest

on this trip.

There is a lot that is hard to believe.

You've reached the voicemail of Zach Danner,

please leave a message...

You've reached the voicemail of Zach Danner,

please leave a message...

Hey girl. You up for a drink at the bar?

No, I am not up for a drink at the bar.

What's the hell is wrong with you?

Nothing.

Well, you're just a barrel of laughs to be around

these days.

Well F*** you! You don't know jack sh*t.

You think everything has to be so God damned

much fun. Reality isn't the rosey world you live in

Grace.

Oh here we go.

Quick somebody grab the violins because Karly

wants to sing that sad old song about rotten

Daddy.

Look, I have always been proud of you, in spite of

everything. But lately girl, I don't even know you.

If you're not careful you are going to end up with

exactly what you are running from.

There's a woman speaking from experience.

Everything was just peachy at f***ing Grace's

house, I should know, I spent half of my life there.

Oh Grace. I'm sorry, Grace, I'm so sorry.

I'm losing it, I can't think. I don't know who I am

anymore, I'm so tired. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's ok. It's ok.

(voice over) This liver stuff is just random pieces

of information.

(voice over) All talking about this will do is scare

people off from using the most effective drug

available.

(voice over) I need you to keep what you heard

today to yourself.

(voice over) All direction to sales reps will be to
