Thanks. That helps. It saves me the agony of sitting through a violent movie.

There is only one thing that is not clear from your explanation. Which color 
pill does one take to wake up and never go back to sleep again. I assume that 
is the blue pill, the one that everyone takes. That's the one I want. 

Can you get these pills on-line from a Canadian pharmacist? I'm guessing the 
pills would be prohibitively expensive in the USA. Also, in the movie, right 
after explaining about the pills, does someone come on and say really 
fast "These pills are not for everyone. If you have liver damage or kidney 
disease or are prone to sudden and fatal heart attacks, or if you have ever 
known a smoker or are pregnant or could become pregnant or if your erection 
lasts for more than four days, please consult your physician and get a good 
trial lawyer"? I'd also like to know if there is one of these pills that you 
apply directly to the forehead, apply directly to the forehead, apply 
directly to the forehead.
