Recap of kids/experts ideas:
 * Radiation (at plant)
 * Radiation (in shipping)
 * Temp sensors (electronic)/better e-coli detectors
 * Something (like a cleansing substance) in the meat
 * Scanning at the plant
 * Heated knife (butchering)
 * pre-cooking meat put it in a sealed vacuum bag

=Scenes= Kirk walks in and sits on the couch and turns on the TV to watch the news. Kirk turns on the tv to watch the news but finds a Barbie show (see Extra Shoot #1)
 * Scene 1 (In Kirk's living room)**

Kirk changes the channel and sees Rose Rogers and Steve Dodgers reporting the news. Picture of Tom Phat is shown. (see Extra Shoot #6) Kirk's wife Rosalie walks into the room. Kirk nods his head.
 * //Kirk (annoyed)://** //"Not THAT."//
 * //Rose Rogers://** //A man identified as "Tom Phat" has died after eating hamburger contaminated by the e-coli bacteria."//
 * //Kirk://** //"I wish I could do something about that."//
 * //Rosalie (as she is walking in)://** //"You can, and maybe you should."//

A bunch of scientists are working on their crazy projects. Kirk comes in to the lab. Scientist gets zapped in the lab. Scientists dive into the night bus and go off to the farm to start learning about the farm to fork process (see Extra Shoot #2).
 * Scene 2 (In Kirk's lab)**
 * //Kirk://** //"Hey guys, we're going to work on something to kill e-coli."//
 * //Scientist://** //"What's e-cola?"//
 * //Kirk://** //"You smarticles, e-col//**//i//** //is a bacteria that gets into food like hamburger and can make people sick and even kill them. You really should learn more about it because we need to help. Our friend Tom has just died."//
 * //Scientist://** //What about scanning the meat for e-coli or using radiation at the packing plant?//
 * //Scientist://** //Or radiation in the shipping containers?//
 * //Scientist://** //What if they put something in the meat to kill e-coli?//
 * //Scientist://** //That would taste awful.//
 * //Scientist://** //And look what radiation does to humans.//
 * //Kirk (cutting them off)://** //"Guys we really need to go do some research. Let's go to the farm and see what we can find out."//

=(Finish this dialogue.)= //"Your research sounds interesting. Mind if I join you? I know a guy at Kroger, plus I have to pick up some milk."// Kirk holds up his translator to translate the Mooooo! Scientists decide they should go learn more about production before going to Kroger. Scientists and Max Well get in the bus and head off to the OSU Food Sciences Lab (see Extra Shoot #3)
 * Scene 3 (At Mr. Max Well's farm)****//Mr. Max Well://** //"I'm Mr. Max Well."//
 * //Scientists://** //"Hi Mr. Maxwell."//
 * //Mr. Max Well://** //"It's first name "Max", last name "Well". Max Well.//
 * //Scientist://** //"Mr. Well, we'd like to learn about hamburger production."//
 * //Max Well://** //"Great! It's important to understand the farm to fork process. First you have to raise the animals properly and healthy. Then the meat gets processed at a plant."//
 * //Kirk://** //"Don't you have a cow?"//
 * //Mr. Max Well://** //"Yes I do have some cows, but I raise them to get slaughtered."//
 * //Cow://** //Mooooo!//
 * //Kirk://** //"She says 'Eat more chicken!'.//
 * //Chicken (looking worried)//**//: "Bauch!"//
 * //Scientist://** //"She says "Eat more pork!"//
 * //Pig://** //"Snort".//
 * //Scientist://** //"Kirk you brought your translater?"//
 * //Kirk://** //"You never know when you'll need it."//

Again, Kirk gets emotional (remembering their friend Tom). The scientists get in the bus and head to the Kroger (see Extra Shoot #4).
 * Scene 4 (At the OSU Food Sciences Labs)**
 * //Kirk//**//: We're researching the farm to fork process. What can you tell us about food contamination?//
 * //Scientist://** //"What's this I hear about FAT... STEVE? My name's Steve. I found that a little offensive."//
 * //OSU Researcher (very fast)://** //You mean FATTOM? "FATTOM is FoodAcidityTemperatureTimeOxygenMoisture"//
 * //Kirk://** //"Excuse me? Can you please slow down?"//
 * //OSU Researcher://** //"FATTOM is Food, Acidity Temperature, Time, Oxygen and Moisture. Those are the conditions that contribute to growth of e-coli and other bacteria. Bacteria can double every 20 minutes."//
 * //Scientist://** //"That's a really big family!"//
 * //Scientist (to OSU researchers)://** //"What would you suggest to eliminate e-coli?"//
 * //OSU Researcher://** //"We would suggest packing meat in an air-tight bag that doesn't provide oxygen."//
 * //Scientist://** //"We still really need more information."//
 * //OSU Researcher://** //Maybe you should ask someone at a store what they think. You might get some useful information there.//

=dialogue needed= Fade out into dream sequence (see Extra Shoot #5).
 * Scene 5 (At the Kroger)
 * //Max Well://** //Finally the Kroger!//
 * //Kirk (to Kroger manager)://** //"Hey we're trying to kill e-coli, and we need advice. Do you have any ideas about what might help eliminate e-coli contamination?"//
 * //Kroger manager://** //"Maybe a better temperature sensor or e-coli detector would help. Or even a heated knife for butchering or cutting deli meat. But, memorize this: The consumer is the weakest link, the consumer is the weakest link, the consumer is the weakest link."//
 * //Kirk://** //"The consumer is the weakest link, the consumer is the weakest link! Maybe a thermometer? No that's already made. Maybe a pan? No that's already made. No wait, that will work! Maybe I should mix the two. I've got it - a pan with a thermometer! The people are going to love it."//

Having learned a lot, the scientists start tinkering to come up with something to help make hamburger safe for consumption. Smoke rising, electric shocks going off. Kirk walks in with short hair, and clean shaven. Dialogue - a lot of indistinguishable words as they work. 3 months later, Hagrid-Kirk comes out.
 * Scene 6 (Back at Kirk's lab)**
 * //Wife://** //AAAAAUUUGGGHHHH!//
 * //Kirk://** //Voila! The E-Pan!//
 * //Scientist://** //Hey, my uncle works in advertising. We talked to him and he said he'd do an advertisement for the e-pan, starring Scientist A and Scientist B//

//Look at these homeowners. They love the e-pan. "It's so reassuring to not have to worry."//
 * Scene 7 (Infomercial advertising the E-pan product line)**
 * //Announcer://** //Are you tired of hearing about e-coli contamination? Are you worried about whether your food is safe? Introducing the E-pan. The E-pan isn't like any other pan. It prevents dangerous E-coli from killing you. Here watch what happens!" A man takes a bite of hamburger and then faints. "See, dangerous." The E-Pan has temperature gauges that will control the temperature of your meat. Use it on the stove, in the oven or on the grill! Plus the E-pan goes in your kitchen!//

//.....// //Call right now and we'll double the offer. That's two E-pan's for one low payment. But wait...If you call in the next half hour we'll include the e-pan//

=Extra shoots=  Barbie asks if dress looks good, Ken says rudly no, Barbie is upsest, slaps him and cries.

 Scientists leave the house to do more research. They go to smart car, but realize the car is too small and take the bus instead.

 Scientists and Max Well get in the bus and head off to the OSU Food Sciences Lab.
 * Extra Shoot #3: bus at farm**

 The scientists get in the bus and head to the Kroger.
