BRAIN HARVEST (4)

Second Serve

(continued evening)

Int: Tyrone's Apartment-1 a.m.

Tyrone starts pulling pulse pads and resetting them to a different part of her body for a different extraction to a heavily sedated Ginger.

Tyrone

"Know it's getting late guys, but I'm going to go on head and add a little sucrose to her drip, move the pulse modulator to 17.9 hertz... that ultra low frequency get's those nerves twitching a bit, and then we place the pads right over the kidneys, one on each side...see if we can extract some Epinephrine out of her...this is almost like the same routine except we use a sheet of positively charged aluminum then compress it in a cylinder filled with wood powder."

Brian

"Seems like that would be explosive?"

Tyrone

"Oh yea, shit go off like a bomb if your not careful."

Brian

"So, how "did" you learn all these procedures anyway?"

Tyrone

"A little lab work, organic chemistry, procedures in Chromatology,  just watching people before me, it all come together!"

Sydney

"I'm still amazed at how organized you have everything, like Doc Tyrone in the house man!"

Tyrone

"Making it look easier than it needs to be...you will all have this down in no time!"

(Scene Switch)

(Next Day)

Ext: Tulane Medical School-Main Entrance Hall-7:30 a.m.

Brian and Sydney struggle to make it to first class.

Brian

"What is this shit, we've got that nut case Yardley again, what's he going to be creaming in his jeans about today?"

Sydney

"It says Reproductive Urology...sounds like a party!"

Brian

"Wonderful piece of total nonsense coming out of his trap...the old fruitcake only likes his wangs and constant warnings about wrappin it up before you go banging anything!"


Walking into class just as the buzzer goes off with all the doors automatically locking.
Professor Yardley with desk full of prosthetic vagina's and life like dildo's scattered all over his desk.


Professor Yardley

"Good morning my little perverts and closet wanna-be's, how nice of you to make an attempt at humanizing yourselves, even if for only a brief moment, to be after all...in my presence of my sacred hall of shame...as is, we are all gathered here to attempt to decipher the delicate balance, hence the nuance of that time consuming passion of sexual interludes, foreplay, and just sheer getting down and dirty...do it in the road if the mood strikes you...heaven knows, as a younger man, even a sturdy dirt road would do the trick, raising a enough dust to be seen for miles.

(Scene Switch)


Brian

"What in the fuck is this idiot blabbering about?"


(Scene Switch)


Yardley

"And so as we decipher the common need of quenching our inner needs and desires of sexual activity, we must remember that the simple act of urinating, the common pee...especially if you are a man here in attendance this morning...of course I'm talking about that complicated yet so simple gland called your Prostrate...a most blessed, cursed, and misunderstood part of the body.


(Scene Switch)


Brian

"Oh brother...her we go!"


Sydney

"Talking about his wienies again, right on cue..."


(Scene Switch)


Yardley

"So often we ignore this little part of our body, giving or paying any attention to it, until and only until it starts to act up...for 85 percent of men by the age of 55, it will ultimately effects all us men, bulging, running to the bathroom, the sin of it all!


(Scene Switch)


Brian

"Betcha he's got a boner?"


Sydney

"Probably touching himself right now...check out that right hand in his pocket?"


Brian

"Yea, no shit...little twist and pull action going on there!"


(Scene Switch)


Yardley

"And so, if we wish to hasten the build up and crystallization of uric acid we must always do what each day?"


Whole Class

"Cycle that thing!"


Brian

"Oh brother..."


Sydney

"Is he using cue cards?"


(Scene Switch)

3rd period now breaks for lunch, Brian and Sydney walk over to the Saint Charles Avenue Streetcar stop and board just as it stops, now taking trolley down toward Carrolton Avenue.


Sydney

"What's with the Jeep...didn't feel like driving?"


Brian

"Didn't want to start setting up a pattern, never know who the fuck's wandering around with their nose up our asses...just can't get this Tyrone thing off my mind?"


Sydney

"Yea, I'm there, too...but you still have to take a step back and see it's simplicity."


Brian

"Simplicity...he'll probably be asking us to go do some more body snatching tonight, might even pay us for Ginger's little contribution..it's just plain weird shit...that's all I know!"


Sydney

"Maybe walking papers for Ginger, too...that should be fun?"


Brian

"Hard to say what the hot chemical in demand will be tonight...anyone's guess!"


(Scene Switch)


Getting off trolley car, walking up Carrolton towards Tyrone's apartment.
Brian knocking on door.


Tyrone On Intercom

"That you Brian...what are you doing here?"


Brian

Dunno, broke out of school...playing hooky, thought we'd see how the girl is holding up?"


Tyrone

"Well, I got company here right now...you know you need to call first before coming unannounced...wait over at the Starbucks across the street, I'll be there in fifteen!"


Brian

"All right man, sorry for barging in?"


Tyrone

"It's cool, and yea she doin fine, see ya!"


Brian

"Drop a nickle before coming...got it!"


Brian turning to Sydney


Brian

"What did we learn today class?"


Sydney

"Drop a nickle and cycle that thing!"


Brian

"Very good class, and now for the house rules..."


(Scene Switch)


Brian and Sydney nursing a couple of iced coffee's looking through window toward Tyrone's apartment. Seeing heavily bearded man with large Igloo ice chest in tow, walking over to a Mercedes parked on the curb of the street. He takes off.


Brian

"Well, I guess that's the buyer...financier?"


Sydney

"He must be the King Wing...just a hunch?"


Tyrone closing door, running across street.


Tyrone

"So, you guys want to visit or just sit here and play tourist?"


Brian

"By all means, let's visit!'


All of them going into Tyrone's apartment.
Brian sees that Tyrone has two new subjects on the cots, along side Ginger, all of the strung up, under heavy sedation, while the multi-channel blood pressure/ pulse monitor samples one donor every five seconds, keeping tabs on the captives.


Brian

"New guest I see?"


Tyrone

"Yea, tourist out of Chicago...found them outside of the Frech Quarter just wandering around Elysian Fields, just seemed too easy...so I offered them a ride, a little drinky-drinky, and here we are!"


Sydney

"Looks like they're taking a trip alright...the Gray line tour!"


Tyrone

"Oh yea, they easy one's, like candy to a baby, shootin fish in a barrel, ordered myself up a full extraction on these two...the dude even given up a little testosterone...and you don't wanna know how I do that...what you'all feel about bringing me a dude in?"


Brian

"Shit, anythings possible, but how do you approach a dude with this swill?"


Tyrone

"Just look, look around...see who's friendly, maybe gay, use a decoy cup with the real shit along side, make it look like your really enjoying your smoothie...he'll get curious and want to try some...just say "sure" and offer him some, be the good cheers Samaritan, shit...you in like Flint!"


Brian

"So, tonight?"


Tyrone

"Yea, I'll be here at 10:30 this time...see what you can do!"

BRAIN  HARVEST (3)

First Draw

Ext: Tyrone's Apartment-11:30 p.m.

Tyrone finally gets back to apartment. Brian and Sydney have been struggling with a very hallucinated Ginger.

Brian

"What the hell happened to you...thought you said 10:30?"

Tyrone

"Man, things got all fucked up, was trying to drop off the English major at Denny's, and the bitch just wouldn't shut up..talking shit 'bout how I wasn't Lovin her enough, how she wanted more time with What the hell she mumbling about, she still buzzin and stuff...so finally I just took the bitch all the way back to Fat City, where I found her, and dropped her off by one of the clubs and took off...ain't got time for that...I'm human, too...that bitch be like a zombie!"

Everybody Laughing

Sydney

"Well, we got our first client, in back of the Jeep...she's quite a handful!"

Brian

"Yea, you never really said how much Kool Aid to give a girl, so just guessing I dosed out about three fingers in one of them little shot cups."

Tyrone

"Damn man, she be tripping "real" good, usually you only have to give 'em about one ounce tops...she already popping so let's get started!"

Bringing her in and down the hallway.

Brian and Sydney could only watch as Tyrone methodically placed the regulator mask to her face and had her inhale a few intakes of nitrous oxide, strapping her down onto the cot, hooking up the blood pressure and pulse monitor, placing a little contact gel to her temple placing a pulse contact pad to the top of her neck.


Tyrone

"Knowing where to put the other paddle is a matter of practice...at this point I could just ground out her ankle to the machine, that would make a circuit, but you want to float the ground so that the Vagus nerve gets the complete cycle of pulses...takes a while to get this shit right!


He then opens up a new I.V. set, swabs her arm and makes the vino puncture, leeches, locks tube, hangs saline bag, inserts nozzle and opens it up, adjusting drip, no hesitation at all!


Sydney

"So staying hydrated is kinda important here?"


Tyrone

"Oh yea, plus we need an easy way to get the Gaba into her body...that's Aminobutyric Acid...really leeches the Dopemen right out of her, no problems after that...but always remember one thing...small portions...be patient...go for another fluid, get the nutrition in there and wait for the glands to recharge...this type of extraction takes time and patience...everybody, stay cool!"

Brian

"So, do you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can extract?"


Tyrone

"Actually, the sooner the better...as they haven't really realized what's gone down yet...stress levels create triglycerides...that screws up the mix...also creates a lot of bad fat, you could get a clot and not even know it...just remember to spin your blood samples, check iron saturation, you'll be separating this up by resonance, that cuts out all guessing...in the old days, a lot got wasted, but now everybody got a lab going.


Brian

"Yea, I would guess it's the feel good medicines for all in pain...well at least they were!"


Tyrone

"Yea, you mess with this stuff enough, everybody be buzzing, but we keep her jar spinning and she going to be doing straight plasma...that get you $1500 for a quart, but you can't sell it like that...the FDA be all up in your ass, you just want the extractions from it, then you put it back, you hear?"


Brian

"So what now?"


Tyrone

"We wait a sec...juices start flowing, got her at 2.3 hertz of pulsing now, she stable she good!"


(One Hour Later)


Full jar of abiotic plasma sits in spinner, Tyrone smoothly starts to process and start the separation."
He sets the resonance "central frequency" at 13.7 hertz on the main oscillator, puts a coffee pad looking layer of charcoal into the drip feed, begins a sampler where he performs a column chromatography of her substrate onto a silica sheet, within minutes it has already settled into a crystallized sheet of pure serotonin, ready to be melted into a cocktail, injected at melting point, or smoked.


Sydney

"That was fucking amazing, she just gave up all that with that?'


Tyrone

"Just like that, most potent substances in the world!


Brian

"So, I guess she'll be out for a bit?"


Tyrone

"Oh yes, she won't be feeling too many emotions for at least 12 hours, ain't nothing to float her boat...she doesn't have any emotions cause all her potential anxieties are sitting there on on crystallized slab of drying goo...all profit, you get me?"


Brian and Sydney just staring at one another.


Brian

"I get you man..."


Tyrone

"Now just lay back and be cool, cause Boss Man be ready to extract a little Gaba, that's worth paying attention to...by the way...you guys did good tonight...Tyrone be impressed!"

BRAIN HARVEST (2)

Through These Gates

Next Day-Int: Tyrone's Apartment-8 p.m.

Brian And Sydney show up at Apartment G and ring buzzer.

Small video camera and intercom recessed into wall.

Tyrone on Intercom

"That you Brian?"

Brian

"Your future medical students, ready for class!"

Sydney

"This is...making...me...nervous..."

Brian

"Shh...shut up or leave..."

Tyrone buzzes them in. As they walk in they see a regular sized studio apartment, with a small kitchen and bathroom. As you look over to your right you see a connecting hallway leading to the next apartment.

Brian

"Wow, so Apartment F is a blank huh?"

Tyrone walking out of hallway

"Yea man...Apartment F stands for fake, it looks good on the outside, just doesn't have any tenants, that we know of...come on, I'll show you around."

Walking back they see a girl on a cot, lucid and moving a bit, talking to herself, I.V. drip in her arm, pulse and blood pressure monitor vitals, small needle coming out the side of her neck, electric pads on each temple.

Tyrone

"Her name is Mary, English major, got her over in Fat City, out clubbing, she seemed to wants some brother Love."

Brian

"My idea of brother Love never required bio monitoring, how'd you seize her?"

Tyrone

"Got her into the Kool Aid right away, got her to my car, made sure credentials got left behind...you don't need that, you don't want that, remember that...30 minutes later, bitch was in my world, you hear me...had her for a couple of days now, got some great production, 'bout see, ah 50 milliliters of Serotonin, about 70 milliliters of Dopemen...was going to extract some TCH from the thyroid, but I might just cut her loose?"

Sydney

"Cut her loose...what does that involve?

Tyrone laughing

Take her to Denny's, feed her a good meal, pay for the check, and let the authorities find her."

Brian

"At the table?

Tyrone

"Gran Slammed my man, right into her breakfast, just like that...hey she bounces back in a day or two, no damage done!"

Sydney

"At first I thought you were harvesting these guys, but this is like an involuntary donor program, huh?"

Tyrone

"Right on...good man, you just have to look for the healthy people...the health freaks, people that look active, systems chocked full of endorphin's...take a walk through the vitamin store, like Whole Foods, they all over the place!"

Sydney

"What about missing persons reports, people bound to be out looking for them?"

Tyrone

"72 hours my man, that's all the time I need!"

Brian

"That's brilliant...but it must kind of screw up their credibility a bit...like just a sack of shit...kind of clueless?"

Sydney

"No, I think it would be like they treat victims in general...they probably gain some compassion, even from strangers, from going through something like that..."

Tyrone

"You got it Mister Sydney, it's just a blip on the grand scale, they just don't remember nothing, no one, and hence...all the common people can do is feel is sorry for them...whatcha gonna do?"

Brian

"How many victims...I mean subjects can you keep in here?

Tyrone

"The most, about eight, but I usually only do about 2 at a time...I mean don't get me wrong, I'm a greedy fucker, but not "that" greedy!"

Sydney

"Anything ever go wrong, ever lose anybody?"

Tyrone looking at the floor

"Yea man...two so far...one was coming off Meth, didn't even see that shit coming down, and another where Joey and me...Joey my old boss man...we decided to take this guy for a spin on one of those giant plasma centrifuges, one's that will hold like 500 bags, bout 6 foot circle at 5000 rotations a minute...we were going to spin the chemicals right out of his body...keep in mind, those were the early days man!" 

Sydney

"So, you spun him to death?"

Tyrone

"No man, it wasn't the spinning that got him, it was that minus five degree centrifuge temperature, fucker just froze to death!"

Brian

"What did you do with the body?"

Tyrone

"Took him to the river, said a few parting words, put him on a log, and launched him off!"

Brian

"So, I guess you want me to solicit someone, get them tripping, and bring them back here?"

"Got to get your feet wet eventually...now look...no, let's go to the kitchen, my man needs supplies you hear me, Tyrone get my new man his supplies."

Walking back down the hallway to the other apartment, opens refrigerator and takes opaque plastic bottle, almost frozen with red ice formations in it.

Brian

"Let me guess...the catatonic Love position?"

Tyrone

"That indeed, some of best shrooms coming out of the cow field's of Louisiana...yep, we just like Popeyes, we do shrooms right...now you want to make sure you don't be sippin on this stuff, cause I might end up extracting chemicals outta your ass, understand?"

Sydney

"Yea, that would be kind of fucked up!"

Brian

"Does kind of mess up the purpose of the mission?"

Tyrone

"Yea, after I cut my zoned out English Major loose, I'm heading down to the mall and doing me a little shopping myself...look, here's my number...we can meet back here at around 10:30...make sure that whoever you get stays in the zone...and if they don't seem to be dealing well on the buzz, just pull out and go for another one, shit take a bout 30 minutes for the stuff to kick in."

Brian

"So, I'll know?"

Tyrone

"Hell yea, the eyes be glazed, dilated, speech all slurry, sometimes you get a little drool going, now they ain't gonna knock out, but they do get real detached."

Brian

"I got the whole picture, we'll see you at 10:30, later"

(Scene Switch)

Walking out and getting into Brian's Jeep Rubicon, they take off!"

Sydney

"So, what's the first stop?"

Brian

"The whole Foods concept sounds kind of interesting...maybe go hit the juice bar where they hand out all the samples?"


Sydney

"So, let me see if I have this right...your going to just walk in there with your bottle of swill and fill up a sampler, and try to convince someone to drink it...how in the hell is that gonna work?"


Brian

Yea, don't worry about it, oh I almost forgot...thank you for have some gonads to stick around, and no...your right, I have no clue what I'm doing!"


Sydney

Good...that makes two of us, I'm just going to feel my way through this...hopefully we don't get arrested for tampering with the treats..."


Brian

"Your amazingly brilliant for someone that comes across as being so damn chickenshit, your like irritating, but just the right amount without me without resorting to kicking you to the curb...just yet anyway!


Entering into Whole Foods, they grab a buggy and start putting tomatoes, celery, a bag of apples, some canned goods in the cart, slowly making their way toward the juice bar. Brian sees attractive girl in a spandex leotard outfit.


Sydney

"Wow, that looks like a keeper, look at her!"


Brian

"Well, here's our first attempt, let's do this thing..."


Walking up Brian studies the way she keeps squeezing the lemons and the limes.


Brian

"Evening, you juice here often?"


Girl

"Oh yea, get's me in the mood."


Brian


"In the mood?"


Girl

"To run, work out a little, all this stuff gives me just the right buzz!"


Brian

"Of course it does..."


Girl

"What about you?"


Brian

"Oh ah, I've been trying all kinda formulas, think I've finally got it down to just the right balance of what the body needs...I don't know, would you mind giving me a second opinion?"


Girl

"Sure, what is it?"


Brian

"Kind of a wild cherry strawberry thing here...here let me pour some of this into a sampler."


Brian puts about three fingers worth into a plastic six ounce cup. She tongue taste it first, smiles...then slams down the rest.


Girl

"My goodness, kind of earthy, felt like electricity going down my throat...very cosmic!"


Brian

"Yey, that's why they call them "Wild Cherries", hey are you busy right now?"


Girl

"Not really, but I do need to go home and hit the books...lots of studying!"


Brian

"Where are you going to school?"


Girl

"Touro Infirmary, I'm in their nursing program...so what's your name?"


Brian

"Ah, Toby...Toby Brown...that's it!"


Girl

"My name is Ginger, nice to meet you."


Ginger starts to react to the schrooms.


Ginger

"Well, I guess I should...oh my goodness, whew!"


Brian

"What's wrong, you okay?"


Ginger

"I don't know, maybe you should stay a second, don't leave me...I might need some help?"


Brian

"No problem, I'm right here if you need me...tell you what (giving Sydney keys, signalling him to go ahead), why don't you come with me...we could go outside and get some air.


Walking outside, Brian sees Sydney with back door to Brian's Jeep already opened and ready to go.


Ginger

"I don't know, maybe I'm going outside my body, just feel this happy time thing, hey...you guys are so sweet, what was that you said you juiced?"


Brian

"Wild cherries and stuff, come on...you'll be fine!"


Putting her in the back  of the Jeep.


Ginger

"Thanks Toby, never had a reaction like this before...but you know...I just don't care, I'm a big girl now, everything is just so beautiful...no really!"


Brian

"Yes Ginger, juicing is great!"


(Scene Switch)


Pulling into Tyrone's parking lot, it's almost 10:30 p.m. Ginger has become quite chatty now that the mushroom elixir has overcome her body...she's hallucinating in full state now.


Ginger

"And as a little girl, I would collect butterflies, bring them to my room, and man..they always died...all of 'em...I could never make them my friends, they didn't want to live..at least around me...I Loved them, but they didn't want me...that's my whole life, just kill things or chase them away...I'm such a waste man...but yet I am so totally happy...you see?"


Brian and Sydney just staring at each other.


Brian

"What can of worms have we opened up here?"


Sydney

"I don't know, I can't seem to find her lid!"


Brian

"Where in the hell is Tyrone at, isn't this lovely!"

Brain Harvest (1) Pitch Me A Deal

Brain Harvest (1) Pitcher And A Deal

Kirk Carter@ Chew Bear Productions@ Copyright 2014

LOGLINE: Two pre-med students studying neurology, stumble across an underground market for harvesting pleasure chemicals produced by the brain. They conspire to satisfy the need!

BRAIN HARVEST (1)

Pitch Me A Deal 

Opening Scene:

int: Neuroscience Classroom-Tulane Medical School-New Orleans, La.-11 a.m.

Professor Darla Murphy

"...And as we see, Serotonin is closely related to the Amino Acid Tryptophan...a protein which is partially developed in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain near the basal ganglia..."

(Scene Switch)

Brian Cramer (pro-lead) student

"You know, at some point you would think they would realize they're just repeating themselves!"

Sydney Shaffer (co-lead, best friend) student

"That's just it...they don't think, they're fucking tenured, they don't have to reason or make sense, just come in and occupy the desk every day!"

Professor Murphy

"Excuse me you two...how many times have I told you to quit mumbling in class...you know, some of us want to learn something, advance a bit...become doctors!"

Brian

"I'm sorry Professor Murphy, but we were just making comment on how pretty you look today!"

Sydney

"Yes Mam, we are indeed blessed, and that dress..that dress so becomes you!"

Professor Murphy

"Well I, ah just keep your comments to yourselves, and ah, well...thank you..."

Brian whispering

"She bought into that crap pretty good..."

Sydney

"Easy pickings...I'd do her!"

Brian and Sydney turn their heads forward, noticing class is completely quiet and Professor Murphy staring right at them.

Murphy

"Yes my Dear's...and I heard every word..it's so nice to know that Mister Shaffer is available to do me...now both of you get out of my classroom!

(Scene Switch)

Brian Out In Hallway

"Fuck that bitch, let's go tie one on, not going to become a Doctor today anyway..."

Sydney

"Lat's hit Cooter's, I think they still have those 4 dollar Dixie pitchers at noon?"

Brian

"I like how you think..come on!"

(Scene Switch)

Standing out in front of Cooter Brown's in the uptown region of New Orleans, a small line has formed awaiting the opening of the noon happy hour.

Stranger dude in line fumbling with a rolling paper, trying to roll some tobacco.

Stranger Dude

"Damn, these papers don't want to roll...shit..."

Brian interrupting

"Here...give me that, it's not the papers man, it's the roller!"

Resetting the tobacco, he rolls it into a perfect smoke.

Stranger Dude

"Do I know you?"

Brian

"You do now, sorry if I'm into your shit there, just have a think about bad rolls...you would have hyperventilated on that just to get anything!"

Stranger Dude

"Well thanks...ah, here for the beer?"

Brian

"The cheap beer, need to get this party started some way...oh, my name is Brian, Brian Cramer."

Stranger Dude

"Joe Tucker, nice to meet you!

Joe notices school i.d.

Brian

"Yea, I don't see how they stay in business with some of these deals?"

Joe

"Oh, they do...this is there way of giving a little back...those pitchers...cost 'em about 75 cents each, they ain't hurtin!"

Sydney coming back from peeing on the wall

"Hey Brian...is that shit that happened this morning...is that gonna fuck up our average?"

Brian

"Who said we're average...fuck, we're geniuses, the world just hasn't noticed yet!"

Sydney

"Asleep at the wheel...again?"

Door to Cooter's unlocks and everybody starts going in. Freshly tapped pitchers of Dixie beer already lined up. People pooling together 4 bucks and heading to the tables with frosty glasses in tow. Sydney pours for Brian, they tap glasses.

Bryant

"Here's to grade point averages!"

Sydney

"Not!"

(1 Hour Later)

Brian and Sydney with a good buzz attempting to play darts. Sydney accidentally throws dart knocking a Bolo hat off the head of a brother.

Brother (Tyrone)

"Hey man, you better watch what the fuck your doing...you trying to pierce my brain or what?"

Brian

"Oh man, I'm so sorry, dart just slipped on me...you okay?

Brother (Tyrone

"My fucking hat ain't OK...it be crying, it be dieing, never be the same again..."

Brian picking up hat from floor, pulling lodged dart out.

"Hey, good as new, even got an extra air pocket in there, it lives!"

Brother (Tyrone)

"That's enough of your smart mouth, what you guys...Doctors...got them green smocks on, you performed some surgery on my hat without permission, you want to clean my teeth, too?

Brian

"No, we're just wanna be medical students, what about you?"

Tyrone

"Brain drugs, you can call me "the" pharmacist, what you need?"

Brian

"What are we talking here...pot, codeine, Percodans, pharmaceuticals...right?"

Tyrone

"No, I'm talking dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine, thyrozine, the hard core brain chemicals!"

Brian

"But, how do you extract something so internal to the brain?"

Tyrone

"Get your host, you bring your guest over, and draw it out of them, it's the mind over matter thing you have to get over..."

Brian

"So let me get this straight...you hold these people against their will and just have your way with the them?'

Tyrone

"Well, let's just say they're in a comatose state, ain't feeling nothing, not going anywhere anytime soon...you are their guest, we're at their party...get it?"

Brian

"So, how do you get them into a catatonic state, in the zone?"

Tyrone

"Got to just take care of business...there's a couple of different ways, but I start off with some shrooms all boiled down, add a little strawberry Kool Aid to cut the bite, get that Vagus nerve clocking a bit, and a lot of tenderness...they lose all their motor functions, and then you can just lead them around..."

Brian

"So, there is no synthesis, just straight up chemicals your extracting?"

Tyrone

"The most potent stuff on the planet, when you think about it...what does Coke do...release serotonin, cigarettes...dopamine, just like a runner's high, you extract it out of one bloodstream and shoot that crap up, man dude...put it  own a rice crispy, hell, dip your cigarette in it, it's the drop of adrenaline rush...all natural, the real deal!"

Sydney walks up.

"What's the talk man, you two jabbering 'bout something good?"

Brian

"oh, nothing...just a revelation of an idea, that Tyrone here has been toying around with."

Sydney

"Shit, let me in, I'm listening?"

Brian

"Well, in a nutshell, it has to do with extracting brain chemicals from people you find around, then placing them in a catatonic state, then reselling it on the...what would you call it Tyrone, the black market?"

Tyrone

"That's right, the Brother's market!"

Sydney

"That sounds crazy, how much can you extract?"

Tyrone

"Whatever you want, call your pace, assemble your market share...the skies the limit...just feed them the right stuff and watch things happen...right before your eyes..."

Sydney

"I'm sorry man, this is too twisted for my game, that's fucking kidnapping dude!"  

Tyrone

"They don't know that, they're in another world, completely content...no damage done, they just make the goodies!"

Bryan

"How much you get for a vial of say...Serotonin?"

Tyrone

"Like a vial would be like 10 milliliters, about 2000 dollars man...you use a little voltage to stimulate different parts of the body, just got to know where to place the pads, for what your planning to extract..."

Bryan

"And how do you collect this stuff anyway?"

Tyrone

"You can draw it right out of the brain, blood draw...then spin it just like they do at the plasma center."

Sydney

"So, how can we start something like this, this just seems too simple?"

Tyrone

"Go start rounding up your host, I'll cut you a deal on office space and your monitors, stuff like that, we could close on 30 percent on the kick back to me...I'll show you the ropes, the whole damn business...you liking this so far?"

Brian

"Let's just say I'm glued to the screen...both fascinated and listening!"

Tyrone

"Well there you go, good start, cause that's exactly how I got started, just listening, paying attention to details, asking questions...and don't forget, being a little selfish doesn't hurt either...there is competition, so you need to be able to hustle your routines."

Brian

"The way I look at it, I'm probably never going to be a brain surgeon, family kind of just pushed me into this shit!"

Tyrone

"I like you man, you got potential...not scared to move a play on the side-line, that's all cool with me...we all good, you hear me?"

Brain

"Yea, I hear you...so when we start class?"

Tyrone

"Tomorrow night, 610 Carrollton Avenue, Apartment G, about 8...that cool with you?"

Brian

"Sounds cool to me (tapping fist), see ya then..."

Walking out of Cooter's with Sydney.

Brian

"Sometimes you just got to take the opportunities when they come...where they lead you!"

Sydney

"In this case, probably no where good...dude, this is some sick shit, your playing with people's lives, it's a live flame on this one!"

Brian

"Look, I didn't, as a matter of fact I never asked you to participate...did I...just take a look, then make your assumptions...there, done!"

Sydney

"Well, you might need a second opinion, I'm here for you...just calm down!"

Brian

"This is true...couldn't of said it any better myself...come on, let's head home, gotta pee like a sprinkler head!"
