• Jarek Novak : You know, mosquitoes, bed bugs, fleas, ticks - they all carry disease, yes? But instead of spreading sickness, why not change the formula. Make them carry genetically modified viruses? Anti-genes to our own plan. Imagine using this in the Third World; in Africa. They're going to be bitten anyway. Why not let them catch the "malaria vaccine", instead?

  Geoffrey Burton : Hmm. But then you would first have to invent a "malaria vaccine", right?

  Jarek Novak : You don't think it's possible?

  Geoffrey Burton : I didn't say that.

  Jarek Novak : You know Stalin, Mao Zedong...

  Geoffrey Burton : Only by reputation.

  Jarek Novak : Both of them believed they could transform ideology by breeding one indoctrinated generation to the next, and eventually you would get genetically programmed communists.
