President Richardson: All right. How long it will take to manufacture this vaccine in quantity?
Science Official: Mr President, we haven't been able to isolate the cause. The virus - if it is a virus - it's like the common cold, it is everywhere, it is nowhere!
Sen. Barkley: I'd like to say this point, I suggest, we might have been in a better position to develop a crash program if it's budget hasn't been slashed against the specific wishes of Congress.
Richardson: [flustered] Damn it senator, I don't have to hear that from you!
Cabinet Official: [to science official] You mean there's no vaccine? Then what is it we're giving the police and fire department personnel? The essential services, the military alert crews if not a vaccine? It's just that we don't have enough for the general populace. Isn't that right?
Science Official: We've put together a soup of every flu-related vaccine we know. It's effect leaves something to be desired. In fact, it's more of a placebo than anything else.
Cabinet Official: [enraged because he was administered a shot] You gave me a goddamn placebo?!!?!
