A beaker of helicobacter

Bunsen has brewed up a beaker containing a solution of Helicobacter.

...

Bunsen: This will win us the Nobel Prize.

Beaker: This?

Bunsen: But we have to show that it causes gastritis. Drink up.

Beaker: I… drink it?

Bunsen: If you get gastritis, we’ve proved that helicobacter causes it.

Beaker: How about you drink it?

Bunsen: Drinking it is the easy part. Writing is the hard part. And if I drink it and get gastritis, who's going to write the report?

Beaker: Promise we’ll share the prize?

Bunsen: Promise. Drink up. The whole beaker.
