MSB to dispute FDA finding in Type A meeting, page-362

In an attempt to bring some levity and humour if that’s possible to this MSB/FDA situation...

Remember the scene from the movie Boogie Nights when Dirk Diggler and Reed Rothchild were arguing with the recording studio owner? They were saying they needed to take their recording tapes (without paying), so they could get a record deal and then they would come back and pay the recording studio the money. Just give us the tapes ! It could be argued there’s a parallel scenario right now with MSB saying to the FDA ‘just give us approval and then we’ll prove that it works.’

Dirk (MSB): Look, man, all we need is the tapes, all right?

Record Producer (FDA): No, you don't get the tapes until you've paid.

Dirk (MSB): In our situation, that doesn't make any f***ing sense.

Reed Rothchild (MSB): Look, we can not pay for the tapes, unless we take the tapes to the record company, and get paid.

Dirk (MSB): Hello? Exactly.

Record Producer (FDA): That's not an MP, that's a YP, your problem. Come up with the money, or forget it.

Reed Rothchild (MSB): Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That f***ing heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.
