you hear that cough? the guy must be eighty -- maybe ninety. we can wait.
yes sir. i'm doing a decor compliance check this morning. tonight i'm doing a random drug search, and -- he's interrupted as an aging man in a dracula costume comes over to the cabinet and tries to address clamp over the tv hookup.

it looks like somebody hasn't( i employee manual. d ' 1 it, r as he speaks, forster opens a ¿½therette folder and takes out a bar-code reading wand attached to the folder by curly cable. he runs the wand over the bar-code on billy's chest, and reads from an lcd display in the 0 folder.
-- peltzer.
unauthorized potted plant -- possible aphid infestation. as forster's assistant jots on his clipboard, billy puts the plant in a desk drawer, and forster spots billy's drawing on his partition.

let me hear the voices. the technician brings up voices on a speaker. they sound like voice-overs on slick tv commercials.
that's fine --
yes, mister clamp.
that's terrific, sir.
yes sir. tall!
i'll -- but a camp logo ;ills the monitor screen, and clamp's face disappe rs behipo- it. forster turns and looks over a technician's shoulder at a monitor. a spy camera shows a stressed-out employee lighting a cigarette in a storeroom.
we have a problem communicating here? you're gone. clean out the desk. one hour. thanks so much. he puts down the mike, and moves on to lczg¿½. ¿½aatier°`t4`s'"sioul"d?r p switch marked oxygen. '

you're wetting my shoes, peltzer. billy sees forster, sees the shoes, grabs a paper towel and is about to drop to his knees.

hah! good boy! i knew we'd find something in this guy's desk -- -- but as they reach billy's desk, they find daffy's paint paw prints tracking crazily over every surface. the dog keeps going bananas, but it's not drugs he smells -- it's the dander of the recently departed daffy.

what the hell's going on?
mister clamp, there's a situation in -- my god, what --

yeah? ask him how he knows so much about these -- green things.
