“You better listen to the big picture, Mr. Morrison. Quitters Incorporated was endowed by a very important person. After he died of lung cancer, we realized there were techniques he had developed in the family business that we can now use to stop people from smoking.

You may see some of them all of the time. You may see all of them some of the time, but believe me, Mr. Morrison, you’ll never see all of them all of the time. You smoke, they’ll see you.” “You’ll bring me down here and stick me in the old cat room?” “No. We’ll bring your wife down here and stick _her_ in the cat room. You get to watch.” ---
