The Counterfeiter (1968)

Jon Lormer: Charles Gant

Quotes 

• Charles Gant : Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Charles Gant, President of Gant Pharmaceuticals. As you all know, Our drug, Dilatrin, has been so widely counterfeited. We have no choice but to withdraw it from the market. However, I think we have devised a plan that will enable us to reissue the drug, and at the same time, greatly reduce the possibility of counterfeiting. Miss Katherine Borden, of our drug security section has worked out the details. I shall ask her to explain them to you.

  Cinnamon Carter : This is the current Dilatrin tablet with which we're all familiar. This is a drawing of what the new tablet Is going to look like. You will notice, we have not colored in the tablet. We intend to change the color, As well as the identifying Trademark, every 30 days. These changes will be announced to you by our representatives only. Try to make your initial purchase just enough to cover that 30-day period. This should allow us to stay one step ahead of any drug counterfeiters Who might attempt to duplicate the tablet.

• Cinnamon Carter : Therefore we suggest you return all the Dilatrin you have in stock to us. As a point of information, we've discovered that the counterfeits tend to crumble very easily. Are there any questions?

  Raymond Halder : I'm Raymond Halder, Halder Clinics. We have millions of your Dilatrin tablets on hand. Will we be reimbursed when we turn them in?

  Charles Gant : Well, obviously, Mr. Halder, we can't do that. It's costing us a great deal already just to redesign the tablet and change the color every month.

  Cinnamon Carter : And now, ladies and gentlemen, if there are any further questions, I'll be very glad to answer them.
