The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Cut to: the office of Jairam Ramesh, partner in the Comet Ice & Water Company. A placard with the company logo is on one of the walls. The office is not fancy, or particularly large. Ramesh, an Indian man with high-combed black hair and a full moustache, sits behind a modest desk, and one of his associates stands nearby. Facing him across the desk are Marsha Plotner and two of her Mascon friends.
Marsha: I am Marsha Plotner and we are with the Ad Hoc Committee for Pure Water.
Ramesh: Good afternoon, Sv Plotner, what can I do for ...

Panel 2
Marsha leans forward, presenting a sheet of plas-paper full of some writing. Ramesh looks bewildered.
Marsha: We demand that you clean up the water you're selling us!
Ramesh: Clean up -- but our water is clean. I don't understand ...

Panel 3
Now Marsha has her arms crossed, looking down at Ramesh like a prosecutor accusing a criminal.
Marsha: Clean? Ha! Our tests prove your water is contaminated with magnesium!
Ramesh: But -- magnesium is the ninth most common element in the universe.

Panel 4
Marsha leans forward with slitted eyes and points a pudgy finger at Ramesh. Ramesh is defensive.
Marsha: Don't pull that physics crap on me. I know heavy-metal contamination when I taste it.
Ramesh: It's the eleventh most common element in the human body.
