In a gloomy pharmacy, Sangstrom meets a gnomelike, gnarled old man. Sangstrom asks the druggist for what he came for, a completely undetectable poison. The druggist then comes around to the corner, and invites him to a cup of coffee. Sangstrom agrees to join him.

Hi there!

I heard a rumor to the effect that you have a completely undetectable poison.

Yes! Another one.

EXPOSITION

After they arrive to the backroom, the druggist questions why Sangstrom would want an undetectable poison.

Tell me. Whom do you want to kill, and why?

Yes, it matters. I must be convinced that you deserve what I can give you. Otherwise...

Does it matter? Isn't it enough that I pay for...

Alright. The whom is my wife. The why...

CONFLICT

Follow me!

Sure! Thank you very much.

RISING ACTION

They both go to the other room for a coffee break
