    Ripper: Water, that’s what I’m getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth’s surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water?

    Mandrake: Good Lord!

    Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.

    Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)

    Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?

    Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)

    Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?

    Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.

    Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?

    Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes.

    Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?

    Mandrake: No, no I don’t know what it is, no.

    Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?
