Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

how can I be sure bill will call?

You are very beautiful.

Well, that's sweet of you.

There's one thing you lack.

What is that?

Ravish.

Ravish?

Ravish perfume.

Put a little behind your ear.

A drop behind the knees would please.

- And dab a bit between your toe. - My toe?

You never know.

I wonder who that could be.

Ravish--it fulfills your deepest desires.

You probably think I'm beautiful, Dr. Roberts.

I have lots of defects to fix.

I have a list right here.

My nose is.2 millimeters too narrow,

my cheekbones are.4 millimeters too high,

and my chin has a little.1 bump here,

and my aureolar distance is 5 millimeters,

and I have a mole here on my ribs,

so I need plastic surgery.

Is something wrong, Dr. Roberts?

You're very beautiful, Lisa,

and I can't imagine why you'd want to change

what god has given you.

It's for work. I do television commercials.

They want a certain look.

These changes are tiny.

Nobody would notice the difference.

You did my friends Tina, Cindy, and Susan,

and everybody says

you're the best plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.

Will you excuse me for a minute?

I'd like you to see my partner Dr. Belfield.

No question, she's a space case.

She's a great-looking girl.

How many of these actresses

with lists have you done now?

Three? Four?

Three.

Must be some showbiz fad.

Are you going to do her?

I don't know.

If you don't, somebody less competent will.

I'll do her.

Great! I'll take her out.

She's really a looker.

Hi, honey.

Uh!

Teddy?

Teddy, where are you?

What are you doing in there, you silly boy?

We have to get ready for Bob.

Ooh!

Aah!

Good morning.

Good morning. You're looking well today.

Good morning.

Hi.

Your 9 A.M. tuck is premedicated.

Suzy will scrub.

Senator Harrison called about working a weekend.

He won't become president on a face-lift.

He's got great new ads.

Maybe he should sell soap.

We've got those Japanese hemostats you wanted.

Your UCLA lecture is rescheduled,

and that fund raiser is tonight.

Fine.

Good morning, Jim.

Larry. Anything big this morning?

Face-lift, sebaceous cyst, blue nevus.

What about Senator Harrison?

Tight eyes won't make him president.

I've got some tricky eyes at noon.

Admiral who hopes to make joint chiefs if he looks young.

The guy just doesn't look macho.

Good morning, Mrs. Emerson.

Good morning, Dr. Roberts.

Be with you in a minute.

Give her another So of demerol.

And let's have Vivaldi today.

Vivaldi on Friday?

I feel it.

Dr. Roberts, the police called.

Do you know why?

No idea.

And Cindy Fairmont is here for her final.

We misplaced her chart. Here's her new card.

Well, Cindy, how's it going?

OK.

These pictures are no good anymore.

I have to get some new ones.

They look good to me.

No. You've made me perfect.

I'm sorry.

Do you mind if, uh--

no. It's a habit.

Do I match my measurements?

Oh, forget it.

I just hope this works.

It's supposed to make me super-desirable.

You were always desirable, Cindy.

Are you free for dinner tonight?

No.

Don't date your patients, huh?

No, I'm busy.

I've got a fund raiser for the pediatric burns unit.

Lisa told me about that.

You've done all my friends with exact measurements.

Lisa, uh...Susan, and Tina, yeah.

Did I turn out as good as they did?

You all turned out very well.

I haven't seen them in ages.

I just got back from Tahiti.

Have you ever been to Tahiti?

No.

You should go.

Dr. Roberts, Lieutenant Masters

of the police is here to see you.

You should pay those parking tickets.

I always cry.

Crying probably wouldn't work for you.

You're fine. Get out of here.

Send Lieutenant Masters to my office.

You behave yourself.

I always do, and it is so boring.

I keep hoping for a little excitement,

like a handsome doctor.

Good luck, Cindy.

Bye.

I appreciate your time, Dr. Roberts.

What can I do for you?

I'm here about two of your former patients--

Lisa convey and Susan Wilson.

What about them?

Anything you know. They're both dead.

Dead?

Susan smashed her car on the freeway.

Lisa jumped from her balcony last night.

We're just following up.

There's not much I can tell you.

They were attractive girls

who worked in commercials.

They wanted specific cosmetic changes.

They both brought in lists down to the millimeter,

and I performed the surgery.

A list? Isn't that unusual?

Yes, it is.

Do you think these girls would commit suicide?

I doubt it.

Sometimes we see a postoperative depression syndrome,

particularly with patients

who have unreal expectations.

People who think plastic surgery will make them wittier

afterwards find things aren't all that different,

and they can become depressed,

but, uh, suicide--no.

Could I see their records?

Sure. Ellen, pull charts

on Lisa convey and Susan Wilson.

I've been looking for those

for Lieutenant Masters.

They're not in the files.

Well, keep looking.

They must be misplaced.

Do things often get misplaced?

No, not often.

I agree with you, Dr. Roberts.

I don't think these two girls killed themselves.

They don't fit a suicide pattern--

no notes, depression, drugs.

Most L.A. girls O.D. On drugs.

Those girls were destroyed beyond recognition.

You think it was murder?

We're considering that possibility, yes.

That's why I'm here.

What are you saying, lieutenant?

Women fall in love with their doctors, Dr. Roberts--

especially doctors who give them a new face.

Yes, it is quite common.

Men give presents-- watches or stock certificates.

Women fall in love.

Do you date your patients?

No.

You've never dated these girls?

Never.

Never visited their apartments on a social occasion?

No. Never.

Sure?

Quite sure.

Well...

That's all I have for now, Dr. Roberts.

Thank you.

Oh!

Is this yours?

Oh, yeah.

It's, uh, it's been missing about a week.

So, things do get misplaced

in your office.

Let me know when those other files turn up.

Thanks again.

Have you found those missing files?

No. And there are four files missing.

All four girls you did exact surgery on.

Why should they be missing?

I don't know.

I haven't been able to reach Lisa and Susan by phone.

Cindy filled out a new card,

and Tina is right here.

Can we talk in private?

Change you back? Why? What's wrong?

Because I'm too perfect.

Because they're going to kill me. That's why.

Kill you? Who is?

They're killing all the girls that are perfect.

You think I'm crazy.

Who told you to make these changes?

It's senator--

later! Hold all calls.

Senator Harrison. That's who that was.

He's running for president,

and you're helping.

Tina, what are you talking about?

Here, here, here.

I'm on the 9:00 flight to Chicago to see my family,

and I want someone in Chicago to change me back.

Why?

You don't know what's going on.

This is more than commercials.

Dr. Roberts, long distance from Chicago

for Tina Cassidy.

Do you want to take it in the other room?

Nobody knows I'm here! Jesus! This is bad.

Tina.

Has a big man with a mustache been here?

If you mean the police--

police? They're in on it!

Police. Did you mention my name?

Oh! Oh, god!

I left my bags in my apartment!

Hey! Hey, hey!

Digital matrix.

Tina Cassidy.

Measurements to the millimeter.

Ellen, call Lieutenant Masters.

Tell him I'm going to Tina's apartment.

Aaah!

You came to her apartment,

and while you rang the downstairs bell,

she fell to her death.

Correct.

You saw a man with a mustache on the balcony

and you came up, but you were alone.

Is that it?

That's it.

That's the worst story ever.

It's the truth.

Shit.

"Digital matrix, incorporated."

Tina, Lisa, Susan...Cindy.

Tina, Lisa...Susan.

Cindy.

Dr. Roberts.

What are you doing here?

I'm a friend of Steve's.

I fixed his hand once.

Oh, you just dropped by, huh?

Actually, I wondered if you were free for dinner tonight.

For dinner?

But you don't date your patients.

I don't. I mean, it's not a date.

It's a fund raiser. Black-tie.

Actually, my date's sick.

I don't know if I can make it.

I don't know what time I'll get done tonight.

It's at John Reston's.

John Reston who does

half the commercials in L.A.?

I think that's right, yeah.

Well, I could--I-- what time?

Dr. Roberts?

Uh-huh.

Miss Fairmont.

I'm Jennifer Long.

Mr. Reston is anxious to meet you.

I'll go find him for you.

Uh-huh.

Thank you.

Mmm. Cheers.

I've looked over your proposal for the burns unit.

It's very interesting.

How much capitalization do you expect

from the government?

11% including research grants.

But that's only supplementary running costs.

So you're looking for $7 million to build it?

Under appropriate auspices, Reston Industries

would be willing to fund four million.

Ah...what are appropriate auspices?

It would have to be called the Reston burns unit.

We'd want something to say about all press announcements.

Well, uh...

For four million, you can have quite a lot of say.

I hoped you'd feel that way.

It's a personal cause?

Yeah, it's my baby.

I understand the desire to make

something you believe in work.

Ah, I believe dinner's ready.

If you would ever care to...

So what exactly does Reston Industries do?

We're a $6 billion conglomerate,

37 countries around the world.

We're diversified into fast foods,

leisure wear, pharmaceuticals.

We do high technology perceptual devices,

military head-up displays, pinball machines,

and television commercials.

I understand you have something

to do with commercials, too.

Who, me?

It was on the news.

Girls who died after plastic surgery.

It was a police report. Ah--

it was just a routine inquiry.

I didn't realize my name would be mentioned.

I hope it doesn't cause you any trouble.

What was the inquiry about, Dr. Roberts?

It's all a coincidence, really.

I did surgery on several girls a few months back,

commercial actresses,

and there have, uh, been some suicides.

How awful.

Well, unstable young actresses

trying to make fast money and finding it tough.

The police can't think you're involved?

Oh, no, no. It's nothing like that.

Well, that's good.

We couldn't get involved in anything...Awkward.

No, actually, the girls are all linked

with some company called digital matrix.

Digital matrix?

That sounds rather sinister, doesn't it, Jennifer?

See, Jennifer runs digital matrix.

Really?

Yes. Digital matrix

does basic research for Reston Industries.

It's true that D.M.I. Measured some girls

for possible surgery.

We were conducting an experiment

on a new visual technology,

but we never completed it.

Are you sure these are the same girls?

I think so.

Digital matrix does mostly theoretical research.

I can't believe it.

How many girls have died?

Uh, three.

Must be a coincidence.

That's what it sounds like to me.

Coincidence.

Now, doctor, tell me about

your staffing for your burns unit.

Larry, you've ignored me all evening.

Aw.

Come meet a friend. She's very cute, so watch yourself.

Candy.

This is Larry.

Nice to meet you.

You told him everything.

I told him nothing.

But he does suspect.

Dr. Roberts has no idea what's going on.

He won't find out before Sunday.

I will not spend the night!

You will!

I can't. I'm working in the morning.

I have a Hawaiian tropic in the morning. Don't do that.

You're full of surprises.

What next?

You get some sleep.

The bathroom's over there.

There's a towel, soap, whatever you need.

Coffee and eggs in the morning.

I get up at 6:30.

6:30?

Mm-hmm.

Nobody gets up at 6:30.

Sleep well.

Where are you going?

Larry?

This is very weird, Larry.

Do you do that every day?

Only when I'm working.

You have to admit it's weird.

Have you finished these eggs?

Why have me stay the night and not hit on me?

Just helping you.

I don't understand men.

I'm not through with that.

You'll be late for work.

It's all right. I'll drive you.

You will?

Well, it's Saturday, I got the day off,

and I'd like to watch you work.

It should be fun.

All right. Let's go again.

Right away. Right away. All right?

Fix her up.

What's the line?

"Hey, great tan. How did you get it?"

Who says that?

Janet.

And she says, "great tan. Hawaiian tropic tan.

It's the best."

It's the best. All right. Let's go, go, go.

All right. Come on. Volleyball team, let's go.

Here we go.

The computer says what? I can't control how far she leaps.

We have to match the computer.

That's what the client wants.

What was wrong with that one?

What was wrong with it?

Not enough body twist, the computer says.

I'm sick and tired of this computer.

Why can't we just do the scene?

Details count.

Things have changed. Computers telling us what to do?

Cindy, you can do it.

You look great.

Say it again. What's wrong?

We're having some questions here.

Ready for computer lock.

Ready. Lock.

Now.

Computer match. I'm going to roll tape.

That jump's not good enough.

We can't shift the coordinates to make 8.4 work.

We'll have to go to animation.

You better tell them it's hopeless.

We'll have to do our animation at D.M.I.

I'm sorry. I know it's my fault.

It's nobody's fault.

It's very hard to match things like that.

Maybe if I just took a little break.

I think we'll wrap this set up here.

Wrap the set up?

We'll send you in for tests.

You'll get paid for it.

It's a whole new deal. All right?

Hey.

You're great.

You're great.

That's a wrap.

I'm going to digital matrix to be measured.

Measured for what?

I don't know.

I'll go with you.

Why?

Why not?

You're falling for me, but you're shy, right?

Happens all the time.

Spying on us?

No. I'm just waiting for a friend.

Would you like to see inside?

Yeah, sure.

Digital matrix is a research and testing facility.

This building was opened last year

to do various kinds of visual research

under contract to other companies in the Reston group.

I can give you a good example of what we do in here.

This is where we do visual research.

These subjects are looking at ordinary commercials

that we always use for research.

We record their pupillary scans.

Today we're testing only women,

but would you like to see what it's like?

Sure.

This is worse than the dentist.

But it doesn't hurt.

I'll show you a stimulus,

and you just relax and watch.

It's been six long months at sea.

Now she's home on Liberty.

She's the Liberty woman, living free

with Liberty mini hairspray.

The Liberty woman goes where she wants,

and Liberty always goes with her,

holding her hair softly, naturally,

giving her confidence even in water.

So go ahead. Live free.

Take liberties wherever you go.

Liberty mini hairspray.

It doesn't seem like anything happened.

Now we'll see what you were looking at.

The spot shows your point of visual fixation.

You looked at the model's body,

not the product.

I liked her bathing suit.

Hmm. Evidently, but that's exactly what we don't want.

We want you to be looking at what we're selling.

The computer is taking into account your specific responses

and making you look at the product.

It's precise to the millimeter.

To the millimeter?

That's why you wanted plastic surgery.

Yes. We intended to create a group of actors

with the exact specifications for visual impact,

but it didn't work.

This is Lisa before surgery, scoring 92.7.

After surgery, she scores 99.4,

which is the video scan registration limit,

so she's perfect.

But when she starts to move,

her score drops to 92.9.

That was our problem.

The girls couldn't maintain their scores.

They looked perfect, but they weren't really perfect.

So we had to take another approach entirely.

I assure you, there's nothing to worry about.

Yeah. Does it hurt?

It's completely painless.

And I get paid $200,000 a year?

That's the standard modeling fee, yes.

I don't have to do anything?

Once the model is made, the computer does everything.

It's a lot of money for doing nothing.

It's because of who you are.

Who am I?

You are perfect in your category.

I'll leave you here, and you go right there.

Alone?

Mm-hmm.

Right that way.

Have fun.

I don't know about this.

There must be a catch.

Proceed to the lighted circle

after removing your clothing.

I knew it.

Hang clothing outside the circle

so they do not interfere with data recording.

When you have undressed, please stand in the circle

for computer alignment.

Stand comfortably with your weight equally distributed

and your arms relaxed at your sides.

OK.

I hope you're satisfied...

Perverts.

Now what?

These are moire lines

for computer topographic scanners.

Help. Rape.

Please do not move your lower jaw.

It was just a joke.

Failure to comply wastes valuable computer time.

What are these?

Electronic guide tracks

for maintenance equipment.

What's in there?

It's a workroom.

Can I see?

My security card

won't open maintenance sections,

but I think you'll find

our scanning room very interesting.

We can now make commercials entirely by computer,

with no live actors at all,

once the model is made.

Computers animate the images,

dress them, provide voices.

Here is a typical computer model being made.

The subject's in the next room,

and the computer is constructing

this three-dimensional duplicate.

We can program the kind of improvements

we once did through surgery,

although Cindy has had surgery.

Incredible.

What do those lines mean?

Those are baseline corrected matrices

for major audiences, age-segregated.

Depending on the audience,

we can change the programming, altering the model.

Amazing. That could put me out of a job.

I doubt that.

Our voice synthesizer is over here.

Hi, I'm Cindy, the perfect female type, 18-25.

I'm here to sell...You.

Hi, I'm Cindy, the perfect female type, 18-25.

I'm here to sell for you.

Hi, I'm Cindy.

I'm the perfect female type, 18-25.

I'm here to sell for you.

Hi, I'm Cindy.

I'm the perfect female type, 18-25.

I'm here to sell for you.

Hi, I'm Cindy.

I'm the perfect female type, 18-25.

I'm here to sell for you.

Boy, that was the weirdest thing

I ever did.

He came to D.M.I.

With the girl. Yeah. Right.

A D.M.I. Security card is missing.

D.M.I. security cards are always missing.

He took it.

Now, why would Dr. Roberts take a security card?

We don't have anything to hide, do we?

We should search his house with the looker device.

I don't want Dr. Roberts upset.

We took his file, his pen, and button

without anybody knowing.

All right, but be careful.

Tomorrow night is a very important corporate meeting.

I don't want anything to go wrong.

Is that understood?

All right.

You haven't let me out of your sight.

I'm flattered, but there's such a thing as suffocation.

...who jumped to her death

from her west Hollywood apartment building.

It was the second such death

since the apparent suicide of actress Lisa convey.

Larry, what's going on?

You're fine, Cindy.

There were four of us who had that surgery,

Tina and Lisa and me and Susan.

Where's Susan?

Susan had an automobile accident last week.

You did us all.

That's right. I did.

You're fine, Cindy.

The hell I am! What am I mixed up in?

I don't know.

Well, let's get the police in on this.

Let's just not-- not stand here!

The police are already investigating.

What are they doing?

They asked me some questions yesterday.

Fine. I could be dead,

and they're still asking questions.

Oh, Jesus, Larry!

You--

you should have told me.

I have a right to know

if somebody's trying to kill me.

Where are your car keys?

I'm going to my parents' to get some clothes.

Is that wise?

Do you have a gun?

Gun?

Yeah, a gun. Bang bang.

I don't have a gun.

Great. How do you plan on protecting me?

By standing and watching?

Please, Larry, give me the keys.

I'm going to visit with my parents for a while,

alone, OK?

I got one. I got a duck.

Lucy, that is a decoy.

Dad.

I'm home.

Oh, Cindy.

What a pleasant surprise.

Your father's going to be so glad to see you.

Ha ha ha!

Hi, daddy.

Cindy, my darling baby.

How are you?

Daddy, I don't know how to put this.

Trouble with that car again?

I told you that insurance will kill you.

No, no, daddy, it's, uh--

I know, baby.

Just--just a minute. I like this part.

Quack quack. Quack quack.

Daddy.

Ha ha!

Let me ask you a frank question.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Are you frequently irritable?

Well, constipation is nothing to sneeze at,

but there is an easy answer.

Believe,

a gentle, natural, time-released laxative capsule.

Believe--

this clock is an antique.

United Van lines moved it 1,000 miles without a scratch.

United's preplanning guide really got us organized.

Our furniture and paintings for my one-woman show

all arrived on time!

When we got transferred to Milwaukee, united gave us--

this bud's for you guys who keep the shiny side up

and the rubber side down.

For all the roads you ride and everyplace they take you.

♪♪ For all you do ♪♪

The king of beers is coming through.

Just for you, that distinctively clean,

crisp taste that says Budweiser.

Larry?

Larry, the way I look at--

Larry, what happened?

Larry, why are we coming back here?

This is a research laboratory.

I don't think so.

But you saw the whole thing.

They wouldn't show me one room, the looker lab.

I want to find out what's in that lab.

You can't get past their security.

Are you coming or not?

High drive into deep left center.

Back goes Cedeno to the wall! It's gone!

Good evening.

Hey, you.

You got to sign in.

Right.

That's 29 runs batted in,

and the Dodgers, who looked to be beat...

And the time.

Right.

The Dodgers--three runs, seven hits, and one error.

The Astros--two runs, nine hits, and one error.

The winning pitcher is Fernando Valenzuela.

Where did you get the card?

I stole it.

You stole it?

Come on.

What if somebody finds out we're here?

They won't find out. Come on.

What's that?

Testing lab.

It's just a research laboratory.

It's more than that.

We have to check the looker lab.

What's the looker lab?

What's wrong?

My card won't open the door.

It's now 2-0.

The losing pitcher is tough luck Ken Forsch,

and this crowd of 49,642, absolutely delirious.

Now there's tomorrow.

And it will be Nolan Ryan for The Astros.

We'll just have to wait and see

about who'll be the pitcher for the Dodgers.

The postgame show will be coming right up.

Larry, I think we should get out of here.

We could get into big trouble.

We're already in big trouble.

Follow me.

I can't take this.

What's in here?

I don't know.

I want to get in the looker lab.

Maybe there's a connecting door.

Shh!

Look out!

He's like a janitor.

Electronic maintenance equipment.

It follows the tracks in the floor.

Well, that's sweet of you.

There's one thing you lack.

What?

Ravish perfume.

Here. Put a little behind your ear.

A drop behind the knees would please.

You never know.

I wonder who that could be.

Ravish--it fulfills...

"Looker--light ocular-oriented kinetic emotive responses."

Well, what does that mean?

Beats me.

Hi, warrior. Isn't this the pits?

I never dreamed when I married Jim...

These poor actors-- having to say lines like that.

They're not actors.

They're computer-generated images.

All I get is this grungy kitchen.

Give me that mop.

Warrior all-purpose cleaner

will take charge of this drudgery.

You look ready for the arena.

This is my arena!

It's just as dumb as a regular commercial.

It seems like there should be

more to it than that.

Now just watch.

Warrior all-purpose cleaner will make short work of this.

Oh, warrior, you're my guy from now on.

What about Jim?

Let Jim get his own warrior.

I want it.

I want it.

I want it, too.

They all want it. They want it bad.

The body, the thickness, the richness

of utterly desirable hair.

"Looker is a computer-generated optical pulse

"synchronized with cortical Alpha rhythms

producing an autohypnotic, suggestible trance."

I want it.

I want it.

New wave-- if you really want it,

you can have it.

Cindy.

Cindy.

Hey. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

What happened?

Don't look at the screen.

They use computer animation

to put a hypnotic light pulse

in the eyes of the commercial,

but they're also producing a gun.

A gun? I don't like guns.

This is no ordinary gun.

This gun gives the illusion of invisibility

through repeated high-intensity light flashes.

It uses light.

Now, this is a looker defense.

Listen. Smoke is a defense against light weapons.

It diffuses the pulse.

This is the defense, and this is the gun.

It looks like a flashlight.

Is that what it is?

It's just a glorified flashlight.

This is unlike any gun ever made before.

It works with light.

It puts you in a hypnotic trance

so that you lose all sense of time.

That's why they were able to do that

to me and the girls.

Larry, you know what I--

aah!

Cindy. Cindy!

Ha ha ha!

The fruit of the loom guys!

Are our briefs holding up, chief?

Fruit of the loom is the pride of my fleet.

Thanks to our superband waistband.

Quality.

At a low price.

Take it from a pro.

Oh! Oh!

...nail color lasts three days

without any significant chipping

or peeling.

We polished over 1,000 nails to prove it.

In consumer tests, 111 women put their nails

through three days' worth of punishment.

76% came out--

ah!

These good things

are about to become the Shakey's Pizza

that is your favorite and ours,

a pizza so special it can only be called

the Shakey's special.

I never dreamed when I married Jim that I'd have this.

Jane, you have a college degree.

It's no good.

Jim won't let me have a career.

All I get is this grungy kitchen.

Give me that mop.

Warrior all-purpose cleaner

will take charge of this drudgery.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

how can I be sure

bill will call?

Of course, you are beautiful.

Well, that's sweet of you.

There's one thing you lack.

What?

Ravish.

Ravish perfume.

Uh!

You never know.

I wonder who that could be.

Ravish.

Let me ask a frank question.

Are you out of sorts?

Are you frequently irritable...

Constipation...

There is an easy answer.

Believe.

Gentle time-released laxative...

Uh!

...without any of the harshness of ordinary laxatives.

If you're troubled by irregularity...

Ooph!

You don't know unless you've been there,

and converse all-stars have been there.

In Berlin, London, Helsinki, Melbourne...

Since basketball became an Olympic sport...

Yah!

Again this year in Montreal,

converse is supplying the U.S. team

with converse all-stars.

Ooph!

Oh. Ohh...

Are you OK?

Yeah. Are you?

I've worked it all out. Let's get out of here.

OK, give us the levels, please.

I'm sorry.

Could we have that level again, Mr. Reston?

My name is John Reston. Hi, I'm John Reston.

How's that?

John Reston never tires of confronting the challenges

of the future, in electronics...

You find them, bring that girl back here,

and get rid of him.

Got it?

...today, tomorrow, forever.

Is that right, Mr. Reston?

Today, tomorrow, forever?

Forever, yes! Forever!

"Lieutenant Masters."

Larry, look out!

Aah!

To hell with him. We got the girl.

Come on. Let's go!

Any proof that Reston's people were here?

A smoke gun. I put it away.

Don't tell anyone. We're closing in.

It's just a question of what Roberts does now

and whether he stays alive.

You've lost purpose in your life?

Everything seems hopeless?

Are you tired and defeated?

Have you lost your faith

in mankind...

Idiot! What are you doing?

Idiot!

...for a bright, glowing future.

Now. Yes.

I say now...

There are more of them every day,

and more programmers needed to fill those jobs.

It's security now.

No. He's not here.

Officers...

Is he armed?

No, he's not armed.

Not armed. We're bringing him back.

Yeah, sure.

There's a big reception tonight.

We'll keep you quiet until it's over.

The first guests at the reception.

All units to positions, please.

The first guests have arrived.

Mr. Reston's speech begins in four minutes. Stand by.

Crowd monitors need two additional men in the lobby.

Unit 12, report.

Ha ha ha!

I guess you know about looker.

Looker? What's looker?

There's a bunch of lookers.

You mean you don't know about looker?

Hey, guys, come on!

You'll miss all the fun.

The show's going to start!

Mr. Reston will begin his speech in two minutes.

Bring him back to central, unit 12.

Bring him back to central now. We don't want any trouble.

All units to positions, please.

Mr. Reston is in the hall.

Stand by. Unit 12, report.

R.I. Central, the speech will begin in one minute.

Unit 12, report. Where is your party?

Please report.

I think we got a problem with unit 12.

We'll show you the advances Reston Industries has made

in commercial sciences.

Television is the most powerful selling medium

in the history of mankind.

The reception's on the 18th floor.

The elevator is to your right.

The reception's on the 18th floor.

The elevator is to your right.

Tonight, we'll show you some new television commercials,

generated by our computer on the 19th floor.

Good evening.

You look lovely.

Could you loosen my hand?

Later.

It hurts.

I mean, it really hurts a lot.

Larry's going to save me.

Any minute now.

Television can control public opinion

more effectively than armies of secret police

because television is entirely voluntary.

The American government

forces our children to attend school.

Nobody forces them to watch TV.

Americans of all ages submit to television.

Television is the American ideal--

persuasion without coercion.

Nobody makes us watch.

Who could have predicted that a free people

would voluntarily spend 1/5 of their lives

sitting in front of a box with pictures?

15 years sitting in prison is punishment...

But 15 years sitting in front of a television set

is entertainment.

The average American now spends

more than 1 1/2 years of his life watching commercials.

50 minutes every day watching commercials.

Now, that's power.

Yet the commercials have been as crude as snake oil pitches

till now.

Now, Reston Industries has scientific commercials,

commercials combining computer-generated actors

in real settings

in a highly effective way,

the way of the future.

So without further ado,

Reston Industries is proud to present

its latest visual development.

Reston Industries is...

Larry, what's with the uniform?

Hi. I'm Candy.

Wherever you find the cutting edge of high technology,

that's where you'll find Reston Industries.

Reston Industries makes it happen.

In 37 countries spanning the globe--

Norway to Nicaragua, Spain to Singapore--

Reston Industries stands for growth

and a better life for all of us.

Where is that son of a bitch?

Reston Industries makes the future happen.

Reston Industries doesn't plan the future,

it's shaping it.

Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Robert Harrison,

candidate for president of the United States.

Hello. I'm Senator Harrison,

sharing with you some private thoughts

on the Eve of the national election.

Perhaps you feel as I do,

that our great nation faces trying times--

overwhelmed by inflation, swamped with bureaucracy,

manipulated by faceless corporations

with their expensive media campaigns.

It truly seems a dark hour for Liberty.

But there is something we can do about it.

We can return to the freedom and values

of our pioneer forefathers

who forged our great country.

A vote for me...

They don't know

what's being done to them.

They're fascinated. Look at them.

...against government inflation and bureaucracy,

against pollution of our environment and our lives.

There is still time.

I have troubles with bugs and roaches,

even in my perfect kitchen.

That's me.

With the rush and bustle of a large family,

what's a mother to do?

I found my answer right here,

with new-formula blast.

Damn. How did he get here?

No muss and fuss and no unwelcome house guests.

Got to...Stop him.

No!

What's the matter?

Oh, these pressures! I can't sleep!

I'm all upset!

Don't worry, darling.

I have just the thing for sleepless nights.

Gentle action snooze.

But I've tried medicines before. Nothing helps.

Snooze is more than just medicine.

Oh, I don't know.

Well, I do. Snooze is a--

New snooze is more than medicine.

Trust snooze to give you the restful sleep

you've always wanted when other medicines fail.

Use safe new snooze for restful, refreshing sleep.

New snooze-- more than a medicine.

It's trust.

New snooze.

To feel better the next day, use snooze tonight.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Nothing could be more beautiful after a day in the sun

than the new Dodge Omni deluxe.

This car will leave you breathless.

Let's look at those interiors.

...gives European access,

with deep, Dodge pile carpeting,

for a sporting space you'll love.

Nothing could be better than the Omni interior,

including digital dash clock.

...standard equipment.

But don't take my word for it.

Hey, that's Reston.

But what's he trying to prove?

I love Dodge. You will, too.

New Dodge Omni--

makes sense for American families.

Drive one today.

Seeing is believing.

Mom, do we have to have the same old thing?

Yeah. I'm tired of the same old breakfast.

They're right, dear. How about something different?

Jennifer?

New Oaties are the cereal that families adore

when they're tired of the same old thing.

New Oaties-- your family will love them.

Spurt makes any mouth fresh.

Aah!

♪♪ give your mouth that taste of spring ♪♪

New spurt makes any mouth come alive.

Get spurt. Feel that fresh taste.

New spurt toothpaste--

New spurt toothpaste-- a product of Reston industries.

♪♪ Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm ♪♪

♪♪ new spurt ♪♪

Are you all right?

Oh, sure.

Hey, that's a nasty cut.

You ought to get that fixed.

You're a doctor.

No. I can't do it.

I don't date my patients.

I am one of your patients.

Not anymore.

Why not?

Because I want to take you out on a date.

Larry, I don't know if I could take

another one of your evenings.

That's where you'll find

Reston Industries,

spanning the globe from Norway to Nicaragua,

Spain to Singapore,

Reston Industries stands for growth, science,

and a better life for all.

Reston Industries is a name you can count on

because Reston Industries makes the future happen.
