00:07:10Hey Matt

00:07:24No

00:07:37No, I am absolutely not going to draft a memo and send it in to mr. Quinn for you

00:07:43Well, do you have secretarial skills or are you just out here because you can't do anything

00:07:47Yes, mr. Flynn the gentleman from the Toko Shomai agency are here to see you this morning, you know the Japanese they like surprises

00:07:56And mr. Morgan your ex-wife called from Honolulu. She hasn't received her alimony check. Yeah, I know. I know. I know I never sent it

00:09:20Yeah, so I

00:09:22Got to talk to you. I

00:09:24Don't know how much longer I'm gonna be able to put up with this job. Oh, not again. Not a 1015 on Monday morning

00:09:33Look at this

00:09:34Mealybugs fell really but very careful

00:09:38You know what Quinn did to me

00:09:41I'm sweating on Friday evening. He completely re-edited it took my jingle my jingle which was perfect to begin with changed it all

00:09:49Brought up the music in the background

00:09:52Made me look like a complete ass, but we didn't take much of an effort. Oh, well, thank you very much

00:09:57Very kind of you a mealybug supposed to look like

00:10:00ugly

00:10:01Maybe we should discuss what mr. Quinn is doing to you. These aren't mealybugs. No, they're not I lied to you

00:10:06I'm just trying to get your attention

00:10:08Ghosty and I'm trying to finish a short story. Would you listen to me?

00:10:10Have you seen those bright happy new faces down the hall the little flock that Quinn is shepherding around this morning?

00:10:15Yes, so are you dead? Well, why don't you go out and say hello Phil happens to be one half of your new creative department?

00:10:23Lucky you

00:10:27Reed and Cassidy they were part of your department less. I'm very much mistaken. They were fired

00:10:33Friday bill Walden quit over the shaving cream account said quit

00:10:38My posting it's finished. I don't care Walden said Quinn was harassing him

00:10:43So he quit cuz he wouldn't let him use his foamy foamy jingle

00:10:47That is three cold bodies added to the two cold bodies of the previous week and you're looking at another potential cold body

00:10:52Need your pocket calculator. Look it's Quinn's agency. You can do what he wants with it. Okay?

00:11:02I

00:11:09Really wanted to cause some trouble I would just

00:11:14Casually mentioned that last Friday evening. They started a new hush-hush ad campaign

00:11:20without you

00:11:32And I do something rash I hope

00:11:42Morgan the meeting is private

00:11:45What's this? I hear about a campaign that began on Friday evening. I only know what Ted Quinn tells me. Yeah. Well, I know even less

00:11:55Morgan perfect. Come on in. We were just about to send for you

00:11:59Mr. Quinn, I want to talk to you come in welcome

00:12:02These are some of the people you'll be working with on the new accounts

00:12:05I've told them that we have the finest creative director in the city a legend among copywriters. I

00:12:10Am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities

00:12:16Nor powers nor things present or things to come

00:12:20Nor height nor depth or any other creative thing

00:12:25Shall be able to separate us from the love of God

00:12:28Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord

00:12:39Who'd have thought it Porter selling out to Ted Quinn must have killed him just a minute just a minute what just a second

00:12:47Okay, I'm ready now

00:12:50Come on

00:12:51The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away

00:12:54Blessed be the name of the Lord

00:12:58Let us pray

00:13:14Allah will be thy name

00:13:16Thy kingdom comes. I will be done on earth. He had border you got out of advertising

00:13:23heart attack

00:13:24Some guys have all the luck

00:13:27Look there's Alex strike. Let's go

00:13:33For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory

00:13:43How are things going

00:13:45Be a lot better if that was Quinn in that box

00:13:48Sorry, I'm sorry. What's the matter? Sam's not having fun at the agency. Yeah, it's too much like work now lots of hassles. Oh

00:13:55Well times change

00:14:01Friends and family of Edwin

00:14:07Edward Porter, there's a different breed of man coming into advertising now not much we can do about it. Listen when my asking

00:14:15Why did you sell out to King Kong over there? Ted Quinn came to me one day and offered to buy the agency

00:14:21Well, what was his background in advertising?

00:14:24Didn't that one?

00:14:29He worked in Washington, he was some sort of media consultant for the government I didn't really investigate it

00:14:36Ed Porter god bless him and I weren't interested in selling

00:14:40but Quinn

00:14:41Asked us to name a price. So we did

00:14:46He paid it

00:14:49To the haven of our good Lord Jesus Christ

00:14:55I know that you've been keeping very quiet about what happened with Quinn yesterday Phil nothing happened

00:15:00Quinn just wants me to work with some new people at all. Oh, yeah

00:15:04Bought you off

00:15:06I was doing my job

00:15:08Ever consider quitting Phil

00:15:11Alimony child support car payments and rent you must be kidding all the things I've been missing out on

00:15:16You know a long time ago

00:15:17I thought I was gonna be writing novels and short stories for a living but I sold out I write ad copy instead tuna

00:15:23It's a rather

00:15:25Rotten brand this is the stuff cheaper

00:15:30So now that you're one of Quinn's boys, you don't really give a damn but all those guys that were fired am I right I

00:15:36Don't see you spitting on your paycheck

00:15:43God's incredible the price of cream these days. All the cows must be rich

00:15:47Mm-hmm

00:15:49Gwendolyn, oh, yeah, but he and I are headed for a talk tomorrow morning. Oh, yeah. Yeah

00:15:54I don't like him starting a campaigns without me. Well, we're a jock staff

00:15:59Princess oh, here you are. Hello, sweetheart. Hello

00:16:18Come on, come on, sweetheart

00:16:21Daddy loves you. She's probably got mealy bugs. Let's go into the kitchen. I bought some tuna

00:16:33Why don't you trade her in for a woman get a real perspective on things

00:16:37Creams too expensive these days. I don't believe you princess always takes cream with her meals. Don't you boo-boo?

00:16:49You know, you're one of the top copywriters in the city and you're pulling down $42,000 a year and you live in this roach farm

00:16:55Would you leave them alone? They're princesses favorite snack

00:16:58Mmm, too late jerk

00:17:01How would you like one scotch for the road just one great

00:17:06Okay, one glass here. Oh, there's one

00:17:13Phil have you seen this?

00:17:14This is a beautiful old studio 96. This is one of the best ever made

00:17:24My rose

00:17:26This is a beautiful old Studio 96. This is one of the best ever made.

00:17:31All I need is a reconditioned motor, you know.

00:17:34Looks like a piece of junk to me.

00:17:36Thanks a lot, pal.

00:17:41I always wondered why the scotch tastes better here.

00:17:44Well, you know what my motto is. Always go with quality.

00:17:48Here's to you. And yours?

00:17:51Cheers.

00:17:54How's Brenda? She hasn't been getting you pregnant, has she?

00:17:57No.

00:17:59You know, I have some very creepy news about Mr. Quinn.

00:18:03If you talk about the office, I won't drink your scotch.

00:18:06No, no. I'm just talking about another top secret ad campaign.

00:18:09That's all I'm talking about.

00:18:10Well, I don't want to hear it, okay?

00:18:12Okay.

00:18:17What is it?

00:18:20Do the words chocolate planet ring a bell?

00:18:24Chocolate what?

00:18:42Chocolate planet.

00:18:44Oh, come in, Morgan.

00:18:50How did you find out about it?

00:18:53I'd rather not say.

00:18:55Let me warn you.

00:18:57Goldstein is a zany eccentric who is tolerated around here

00:19:00because he invents better than average copy.

00:19:03But don't let him lead you astray.

00:19:05He doesn't function in the real world.

00:19:07What? Is this the real world, Mr. Quinn?

00:19:09We're introducing a new chocolate milk powder on network television.

00:19:13So far, it's been a secret project.

00:19:15Chocolate milk secret?

00:19:17Chocolate milk secret?

00:19:19The manufacturer doesn't want the competition to be forewarned.

00:19:22You know how clients are.

00:19:24Well, if you have any other projects that aren't secret, I'd love to work on them.

00:19:27Cynicism doesn't become you, Morgan.

00:19:29Cigar?

00:19:30No, thank you.

00:19:31Mr. Quinn, I am the creative head of this department

00:19:33and I resent things being done behind my back.

00:19:35There wasn't time, Morgan.

00:19:37The client insisted on secrecy

00:19:38and I had to go with the attitude and copywriters I know best.

00:19:41You mean the ones you just hired?

00:19:42I'm afraid so.

00:19:43I sent them up to my place in the country

00:19:45and quarantined them in a marathon think tank.

00:19:47Look, why am I the last to know?

00:19:48I can understand you're feeling upset.

00:19:50Feelings are very sensitive in this business.

00:19:52Mr. Quinn, the atmosphere in this agency is changing.

00:19:55Now, you've replaced half my staff.

00:19:57All I want to know is what the hell is really going on.

00:19:59Morgan.

00:20:03Follow me.

00:20:05I don't regard myself as a man who sells products, Morgan.

00:20:08I sell ideas.

00:20:10Concepts.

00:20:11Really?

00:20:12What sort of concepts?

00:20:14You may be called upon for great things, Morgan.

00:20:16Feel free to speak with me.

00:20:18Express your thoughts.

00:20:20Mr. Quinn.

00:20:22Just between you and me, let's cut the crap.

00:20:25You, uh, back in the day,

00:20:27you were the head of the company.

00:20:29Now you're the boss.

00:20:31Let's cut the crap.

00:20:33You, uh, value your position here, don't you?

00:20:35Of course.

00:20:37I mean, that's why I'd appreciate knowing what your plans are for this agency.

00:20:42Well, there you are.

00:20:44Chocolate Planet.

00:20:45Right on the mark, wouldn't you say?

00:20:48I have plans for you.

00:20:49I would like Philip Morgan to start thinking like upper management.

00:21:02Hi there, Glamours.

00:21:04You should be in advertising.

00:21:06Maybe you should be on a diet.

00:21:11Philip.

00:21:12Philip, take a look at this.

00:21:14Account Executives from Baldwin, Fitzpatrick, and Sutton.

00:21:17It's very convenient if they get dressed in the dark.

00:21:20Mm, here comes your lady.

00:21:22Ah.

00:21:23I'll be right back.

00:21:24I'll be right back.

00:21:25I'll be right back.

00:21:26I'll be right back.

00:21:27I'll be right back.

00:21:29Mm, here comes your lady.

00:21:30Ah.

00:21:33Hi, Liv.

00:21:34Hi, darling.

00:21:35Hiya, Doc.

00:21:36Hiya, Sam.

00:21:39How are you?

00:21:40Fine. What you up to?

00:21:41Nothing much. We're just trying to figure out a way to trap Quinn in a burning building, that's all.

00:21:44Oh, come on.

00:21:45Let's get some food.

00:21:46Yeah.

00:21:47Uh, excuse me.

00:21:49You won't mind? The food's rotten here anyway.

00:21:50You don't want to eat it?

00:21:52Oh, I know what I want.

00:21:54Quinn's blood on the rocks.

00:21:55Oh, come on, Goldstein. Cut it out.

00:21:57I've had enough of Quinn.

00:21:58Have you?

00:21:59Well, listen to me.

00:22:00I've been trailing him, you know.

00:22:02You've been following him?

00:22:03You've what?

00:22:04Yeah.

00:22:05I try to.

00:22:06He always gives me the slip.

00:22:07You know what, Goldstein?

00:22:08You're just too paranoid.

00:22:09Well, even paranoids have enemies.

00:22:11Now, you tell me.

00:22:13Where in Washington would Quinn get all this advertising experience from?

00:22:17I don't know.

00:22:18Where would he get such preparation for media interpretation?

00:22:21That's exactly the question I've been working on.

00:22:24Would you like to order now?

00:22:26And?

00:22:27Take a look at this.

00:22:29You want to order something?

00:22:30I'll have white wine, please.

00:22:35What is that?

00:22:36This is a motor for my tape recorder.

00:22:38A little elbow grease will get the machine working again.

00:22:43I'm recording my autobiography.

00:22:47Bill, whatever happened to that other friend of Goldstein's?

00:22:51Who, Bill Walden?

00:22:52Bill Walden?

00:22:53Yeah.

00:22:54You know, the guy with the crew cut, buck teeth, and bulletproof glasses?

00:22:58That's Luan.

00:22:59He quit Friday.

00:23:00Why?

00:23:01Well, he got into a fight with Quinn over subliminal messages in a shaving cream commercial.

00:23:06I thought subliminal messages were illegal.

00:23:08Not so.

00:23:09In fact, I'll show you one of ours.

00:23:15Here we go.

00:23:17Take a look.

00:23:19So?

00:23:20What's this?

00:23:21Scotch on the rocks.

00:23:22Ah.

00:23:24Take a closer look at these ice cubes.

00:23:27See that skull?

00:23:28Mm-hmm.

00:23:30And on this one?

00:23:32Looks like a death mask, doesn't it?

00:23:34Sort of.

00:23:35No, it is.

00:23:36Tony Flannery touched the ad.

00:23:38He airbrushed the photo and then drew in the faces.

00:23:41What for?

00:23:42Maybe it's a death wish.

00:23:43The media boys think it appeals to heavy drinkers.

00:23:46You know, self-destruction and all that.

00:23:48Anyway, it helps move the merchandise.

00:23:49I don't believe it.

00:23:50Is that what you people do all day?

00:23:52No.

00:23:53Some of us put phallic images in perfume commercials

00:23:55and others hide lewd photographs in cigarette ads.

00:23:57I just can't believe that a few brush strokes that nobody can see on an ice cube

00:24:01is going to sell booze.

00:24:02Ah, but that's the point.

00:24:04No one consciously sees it, but it registers.

00:24:07It works.

00:24:09You know what, Phillip?

00:24:10Goldstein isn't the only one that's crazy.

00:24:12Well, we all may be a little crazy, but it keeps us from going insane.

00:24:16Sam's been copywriting for five years,

00:24:18so by now it's perfectly normal, rational, and understandable

00:24:21that he is a card-carrying, paranoid schizophrenic.

00:24:24I, however, have been in the business for 16 years.

00:24:28Eleven as a copywriter, and the last five as a creative director.

00:24:32And despite having won an award or two in my time,

00:24:35and I refer here to the breath-of-ment mouthwash campaign of 1977,

00:24:39I am clearly more worthy of your sympathy and affection

00:24:42than one Sam Goldstein, right?

00:24:46Maybe.

00:24:47Maybe.

00:24:48Ah, don't be easy.

00:25:05You know, the other day I presented a key line for an ad campaign.

00:25:08See if you can choose just one.

00:25:10New flavor bubble gum?

00:25:13Turned out the line was Goldstein's.

00:25:15Used it in a mock campaign a year ago.

00:25:17For bubble gum?

00:25:18No, for razor blades.

00:25:21The man who chewed razor blades.

00:25:24Gosh.

00:25:25Maybe I can get a short story out of it, who knows?

00:25:30Do you want me to take your mind off of advertising?

00:25:34What again?

00:25:36Ballet.

00:25:38Ballet?

00:25:40You know, one of the technicians at the hospital can't use two tickets for tomorrow night.

00:25:44Something about men running around in tights, it makes me nervous.

00:25:47I mean, it reminds me of our art department.

00:25:53All right, all right, I'll go.

00:25:56Promise?

00:25:57I promise.

00:26:11Bastard.

00:26:14Bastard.

00:26:24I'm taking my portfolio to Mitchell, Ferron and Yerby.

00:26:27I can't stand any more of this.

00:26:33Bill, I've been looking for you. I've got to talk to you.

00:26:35Not now, Goldstein.

00:26:36What's the matter?

00:26:41What's going on?

00:26:42When?

00:26:44He excused me for the evening.

00:26:46He's sending me on some overnight presentation.

00:26:48Chocolate planet, right?

00:26:49No, oil on spec.

00:26:52No, sorry, operator.

00:26:53Dr. Wilcox, please.

00:26:55We had this nice evening all planned and he decides it.

00:26:57Hello?

00:26:58Brenda?

00:27:01Yes, you guessed it.

00:27:03Look, I know we have the tickets already.

00:27:06No, I'm sorry, look, I know.

00:27:08No, I didn't plan it this way.

00:27:10Can you find someone else?

00:27:12Dr. Who?

00:27:16No, I don't mind at all. That's great.

00:27:20I'll call you later.

00:27:25Here, hold this.

00:27:26Next time, I keep my mouth shut.

00:27:28I wanted to see what Quinn's angle is,

00:27:29so I'm sending Brenda to the ballet with some neurologist.

00:27:32Female?

00:27:33Male.

00:27:34Bill, Bill, what's the big rush, huh?

00:27:36Quinn's got a car waiting.

00:27:37In 30 seconds, it leaves without me.

00:27:38Yeah, well, don't go.

00:27:42Bill, I'm really scared.

00:27:44What?

00:27:45I'm on to him. I think I've figured it out.

00:27:47But I want you to come to my apartment.

00:27:48I want you to hear something, all right?

00:27:50But Quinn is waiting for me.

00:27:51But it all makes sense. Quinn has...

00:27:52Morgan, we're waiting for you.

00:27:57Bill, please.

00:28:00Look, I'll call you later, okay?

00:28:11Okay.

00:28:30Hello?

00:28:31You haven't heard from Goldstein, have you?

00:28:33Why would I?

00:28:34He said he wanted me to hear something important.

00:28:36I've been trying to phone him all evening.

00:28:37I haven't heard from him.

00:28:40Well, at midnight, we sent out for some food.

00:28:42That was the highlight of the evening around here.

00:28:44Phillip, do you know what time it is?

00:28:46It's 2.15 in the morning.

00:28:48Yeah, well, how about a nightcap?

00:28:50Quinn's letting us off till 7 a.m.

00:28:52I am not thirsty.

00:28:53I am not hungry.

00:28:54But I am sleepy.

00:28:55Good night, Phillip.

00:28:57You sound angry.

00:28:58What, you think I don't like ballet?

00:29:00I'm not angry.

00:29:02Did I wake you?

00:29:05No.

00:29:06Oh, I get it.

00:29:08You got company.

00:29:10Phillip, call me tomorrow, all right?

00:29:14Good night.

00:29:15Good night.

00:29:29Mr. Wharton.

00:29:32I didn't know anyone else was still after you.

00:29:34I was just finishing.

00:29:36What are you doing?

00:29:37Personnel sheets.

00:29:38If we get the Banner Oil account,

00:29:40we'll have to totally rearrange the creative and art departments.

00:29:43You must be used to that by now.

00:29:45Anyway, when you're finished, if you'd like to go for a sandwich...

00:29:49That's awfully nice of you, Mr. Morgan,

00:29:51but I've got to get some sleep.

00:29:53Maybe some other time.

00:29:56Of course.

00:30:00Just one other thing.

00:30:03Phillip.

00:30:05You could call me Phillip.

00:30:07Good night, Phillip.

00:30:09Good night.

00:30:32Good night.

00:30:52Oh, Jesus.

00:30:53Sorry, sir.

00:30:56Everything OK there?

00:30:58Yes, fine.

00:30:59Fine.

00:31:02I used up some coffee, huh? Thank you, kindly.

00:31:09There's a place that I know where it's fine and groovy with good food and it's so better

00:31:22than a movie. Come on down and dig it, baby, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it.

00:31:27Good to be going, huh?

00:31:35Gwen can take his... up his ass.

00:31:49Goldstein was dismissed yesterday at 5.30 and he cleaned out his office in the evening.

00:31:54I don't think he took it too well. I'm sorry, Philip.

00:31:57Hey, hey, wait just a bloody minute. Sam worked here for eight years.

00:32:00You don't kick a man out like that.

00:32:02It was a corporate decision and don't act so irrationally.

00:32:06Gwen, huh? He kept me busy and then fired my best friend.

00:32:08Sam could have been a top copywriter.

00:32:10He is a top copywriter, far better than those six deadbeats that Gwen just hired.

00:32:14Goldstein's attitude was wrong and you know it.

00:32:16I suspect his attitude was exactly right.

00:32:18Maybe you should talk to him, try to help him.

00:32:26What's going on? Gwen's ready to see us.

00:32:28See him yourself.

00:32:37Sam.

00:32:39Come on, Sam, if you're in there sulking, I want to talk to you.

00:32:56Things are good for something.

00:33:13Sam.

00:33:21Goldstein, if you're in here, the joke's over.

00:33:31Sam.

00:33:39Come on, Goldstein, where are you?

00:34:08Princess, that was getting the end of this.

00:34:14Hey, princess, it's only me.

00:34:16Philip Morgan, you know, creative head, Gwen Porter and Stripe.

00:34:26Just like any other female, playing hard to get.

00:34:31Princess, why can't you talk?

00:34:33If Sam's not here, where is he?

00:34:41Maybe you're hungry, no?

00:34:49That's not like Goldstein, you know, skipping on your food.

00:34:54Come on, princess, get your tuna.

00:34:57I've said the magic word, huh?

00:35:01There you go.

00:35:07Well, now, what's the problem?

00:35:11Princess always takes cream with the meal.

00:35:15You know, the problem is you're spoiled, huh, princess?

00:35:18Every head has a right to be spoiled.

00:35:47I can't tolerate the depressing absurdity of having to look for another job in advertising.

00:35:53Failure is failure.

00:35:55If I wanted to lead a socially useless life, I would have become a schoolteacher or a cop.

00:36:02What is advertising, anyway?

00:36:05Grown men playing deceitful, childish games I no longer wish to take part.

00:36:10I'm sealing myself into the refrigerator so I can't turn chicken and change my mind.

00:36:15I've always wondered whether the light really goes off when the door closes.

00:36:20Always go with quality, Sam Goldstein.

00:36:23Does this sound in character to you?

00:36:25He's been disturbed.

00:36:27I suppose so.

00:36:29Sergeant?

00:36:30Some sign of tampering with the door.

00:36:32I can't be sure, but it looks like...

00:36:33That was me. I used a credit card to break in.

00:36:35Have forensics check it.

00:36:37Waste removal has just arrived.

00:36:39Oh, they can move it.

00:36:41Waste removal?

00:36:42Detective Ross has a macabre sense of humor.

00:36:45Why don't we go into the other room, huh?

00:36:51Questions?

00:36:54Of course.

00:36:55The deceased, it said he wanted to tell you something.

00:37:02Yeah, I had an important meeting to go to, and Sam Goldstein, he...

00:37:08He tried to stop me, and said he wanted me to hear something.

00:37:13Hear something?

00:37:18Well, hear something, tell me something.

00:37:20What's the difference?

00:37:22I take it it'd mean the same thing.

00:37:24Anyway, I never heard it.

00:37:26Or he never told me.

00:37:28Nice to see you.

00:37:30Solid.

00:37:34Two fives.

00:37:39Thank you, Mr. Morgan.

00:37:41You'd be willing to come down and sign a statement?

00:37:44Yes, sir.

00:37:45Sergeant, if we have one more pair of hands to pull the zipper, I think we can get him in the body bag.

00:37:50Yes, of course.

00:37:55Uh, Mr. Morgan.

00:37:57Yes, sir.

00:37:59Can you think of any reason why anyone would want to kill Gophar?

00:38:04No.

00:38:07No.

00:38:09It's Goldstein.

00:38:11Oh, so it is.

00:38:13Sorry.

00:38:15Excuse me.

00:38:36Come on.

00:39:00Look, look, just be there, all right?

00:39:04Yes.

00:39:06Oh, Jesus, if I'd only listened to him.

00:39:09Uh, you've got to sign in.

00:39:12Thanks.

00:39:31Brenda.

00:39:37Hurry.

00:39:42Come on.

00:39:46I can't believe it about Sam.

00:39:48Goldstein's paranoia has become contagious.

00:39:52Now what?

00:39:53Take your coat off. I want you to listen to something.

00:40:01Goldstein's tape.

00:40:03Okay.

00:40:10Okay, test, test.

00:40:13All right, this is day one.

00:40:15This is Monday the...

00:40:18Oh, come on, Goldstein, what is it today?

00:40:21Monday the 13th.

00:40:23I'm recording this because famous last words.

00:40:27I actually do think I know what's going on.

00:40:30And if I do happen to sound like a paranoid maniac, I want to be the first to hear it.

00:40:34Am I right, princess?

00:40:36Go chase a cockroach.

00:40:38Oh, stay, listen to me.

00:40:40Okay.

00:40:42I was really ticked off about the way my No Sweat ad got mangled by Quinn.

00:40:46It was a very delightful ad.

00:40:49I decided I'd go have a friendly little chat with him.

00:40:52I was perfectly professional.

00:40:54I just wanted to know why my tag lines were ripped off.

00:40:57He was loading up the music so insensitively at the conclusion.

00:41:00Why did he wreck the whole thing?

00:41:02His reaction was completely predictable.

00:41:07He said, he said, the No Sweat folks, folks,

00:41:11were so pleased that they were going to renew and expand their account with us.

00:41:15Lots of money involved, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:41:18What a bore the man is.

00:41:20I then said, why don't you go screw yourself?

00:41:22He said, why don't you go resign?

00:41:24It was a very frank and productive meeting.

00:41:26And then,

00:41:30I told him he was a rotten American.

00:41:33I really got him.

00:41:35And then I tried a little bluff.

00:41:37I said, I know the real reason that you changed my ad.

00:41:43And then, Sam Goldstein, you snake in the grass,

00:41:47you calmly left his office,

00:41:49which is when you started to think.

00:41:51Welcome, sir.

00:41:54Finally.

00:41:58Thought one.

00:42:03Ad agencies sell ideas.

00:42:06They can manipulate every aspect of communications and media.

00:42:09Very perceptive.

00:42:12Thought two.

00:42:13Ad agencies are propagandists of the free enterprise system,

00:42:16and so they operate freely.

00:42:18They're taken for granted.

00:42:20Not bad.

00:42:21Thought three.

00:42:24So what?

00:42:26So?

00:42:28They're beyond suspicion.

00:42:30The hell with everybody else, I think I have a not bad mind.

00:42:35Mr. Quinn.

00:42:38Mr. Quinn.

00:42:43Secrecy.

00:42:46Rearrangement of personnel.

00:42:49The rotten things he did to me, and I know

00:42:53that you hide things in your office safe.

00:42:56Mr. Quinn.

00:43:01This all ought to make sense.

00:43:04It should fit together.

00:43:08But it doesn't.

00:43:10Yet.

00:43:12Okay, there's something I have to check.

00:43:14Until tomorrow, this is Goldstein to Goldstein, signing off.

00:43:17Okay, day two.

00:43:19I'm getting closer.

00:43:21Quinn is not interested in the advertising business.

00:43:24And he definitely couldn't care less about selling deodorant.

00:43:27Now, George Miller is our media buyer, right?

00:43:30And he likes to talk.

00:43:32So he told me Quinn came to him personally about testing teepee markets

00:43:35for the No Sweat campaign.

00:43:37Here's the catch.

00:43:40Usually these markets are just scattered all around the country.

00:43:43But Miller only bought spots in Arizona.

00:43:47Very fishy.

00:43:49Why just one state?

00:43:51Why Arizona?

00:43:55I shall circle back to the beginning.

00:43:58Once upon a time,

00:44:00the ad agency had lots of money problems.

00:44:04Enter Quinn, direct from Washington.

00:44:07Unlimited bankroll.

00:44:09And exit Porter and Stripe.

00:44:12Now what the hell would Quinn want with an advertising agency?

00:44:16What? Yeah, okay, just a...

00:44:18Will you wait a minute?

00:44:23Because if Quinn has an advertising...

00:44:25All right, I'm coming.

00:44:27Something happening at my door.

00:44:29But I will be back.

00:44:31That's where it ends.

00:44:33He didn't commit suicide at all.

00:44:35He was in the middle of making this tape when...

00:44:37Now I hear somebody.

00:44:43Is anyone there?

00:44:45It's Quinn.

00:44:46Where?

00:44:49Look in the mirror.

00:44:59He's gone.

00:45:00We gotta get to the stairs.

00:45:01What for?

00:45:02We'll walk down.

00:45:0327 floors.

00:45:05What, are you tired?

00:45:06No, but I have new boots on.

00:45:07My feet are killing me.

00:45:08Sit down, we'll take them off.

00:45:09Oh, God.

00:45:11Oh, God.

00:45:18Morgan?

00:45:19Yes, sir.

00:45:20I nearly blew your head off.

00:45:22What are you doing here?

00:45:23I have a jealous husband.

00:45:25Yes, there are only so many places, Mr. Quinn.

00:45:27And my wife, she hired a detective.

00:45:30She moved.

00:45:31Oh, for God's sake, you creative people.

00:45:34Good thing you didn't come in five minutes ago.

00:45:36Morgan, why don't you do us all a favor?

00:45:37Yes, sir.

00:45:38I hate to break up a romance,

00:45:39but why don't you try and find a discreet hotel?

00:45:42That's what I used to do when I was your age.

00:45:45Uh, Mr. Quinn,

00:45:47what's a man like you carrying a gun for?

00:45:49Burglars.

00:45:50What else?

00:45:58Burglars.

00:45:59Who did he think he was kidding?

00:46:00Who do we think we were kidding?

00:46:02Quinn had to have been upstairs all along,

00:46:04up on his damn 28th floor.

00:46:06I just wish I knew what to do with this tape.

00:46:08It's not conclusive.

00:46:09It suggests everything and proves nothing.

00:46:18Charlie!

00:46:19Come let us out!

00:46:23You'd better put that somewhere safe.

00:46:26Any suggestions?

00:46:28How about the drug cabinet in my office?

00:46:38There you go.

00:46:39Thanks.

00:46:40You're a doll.

00:46:41Hey, George.

00:46:42Can I borrow a cup of coffee?

00:46:43Sure.

00:46:44Another cup of coffee.

00:46:45Well, that's the only mug we've got.

00:46:47Well, I'm sure Philip won't mind a styrofoam cup.

00:46:50Okay.

00:46:51Not at all.

00:46:52Not at all.

00:46:53As long as it's hot.

00:46:54Hey, how'd the little brunette work out

00:46:56that Tony Flynn fixed you up with the other night?

00:46:58Mm-hmm.

00:46:59All right.

00:47:00I'll tell you what.

00:47:01I'll tell you what.

00:47:02I'll tell you what.

00:47:03I'll tell you what.

00:47:04I'll tell you what.

00:47:05I'll tell you what.

00:47:06I'll tell you what.

00:47:07How'd the intern do on the other night, eh?

00:47:08No sweat.

00:47:09There'll be the devil!

00:47:11It reminds me, how were those no-sweat commercials scheduled?

00:47:15As I told our late friend, it was the weirdest media buy I ever made.

00:47:18There you are, Mr. Morgenson.

00:47:20Thank you, ma'am.

00:47:22What do you mean?

00:47:24Why should I tell you?

00:47:25Oh, come on!

00:47:26Philip, I was instructed to keep it secret.

00:47:29Oh, gee, George, I'm sorry.

00:47:30I just asked a simple question.

00:47:31I mean, after all, I thought we were friends.

00:47:33I even had this cute little secretary I want you to meet.

00:47:36me. She's really hot to try. Long blonde hair and great legs.

00:47:40Great legs?

00:47:41Happiness legs, you'd love them.

00:47:43Yeah, well, Quinn told me to use the saturation television campaigns in one state and one state

00:47:47only.

00:47:48What, any state?

00:47:49Arizona, he insisted. Listen, you, uh, got that phone number?

00:47:52Uh, yeah, I think I might have it on me. But, uh, why Arizona?

00:47:57How the hell do I know? Probably because it was the most unbelievable pain in the ass for me.

00:48:02Oh, I'm not following.

00:48:03Local elections.

00:48:04Yeah, well, uh, so?

00:48:07So the chickens have wings, there was very little time available for spot commercials.

00:48:12Most of it had been used by the Senate candidates.

00:48:15Yeah, did, uh, did you get all the time you needed?

00:48:19You know, I could, uh, get fired for this.

00:48:22Uh, do you have that, uh, phone number?

00:48:26Just happened to have it handy.

00:48:29I got all the time I needed and more. Quinn had me increase the saturation campaign.

00:48:34We bought our own block of time and we could place our spots wherever we wanted to.

00:48:37We were seen by more voters than the actual candidates were.

00:48:41Hot to try, eh?

00:48:43Oh, you bet you'll love her.

00:48:44Uh, thanks for the coffee, George.

00:48:47Yes?

00:48:48If Philip Morgan is there, I'd suggest you go to Mr. Quinn's office right away.

00:48:52Thank you.

00:48:54Listen, uh, I never said anything, okay?

00:48:57I didn't say a word.

00:48:58Don't worry about a thing, George.

00:49:01Oh, Philip!

00:49:03What's her name?

00:49:05Anna.

00:49:08Anna.

00:49:10Anna?

00:49:11That's my second...

00:49:12Yes, sir?

00:49:13Uh, I'll be fine.

00:49:25Sergeant, I must say that I have the greatest respect for Mr. Morgan.

00:49:28He'll tell you the truth.

00:49:30That would be helpful.

00:49:33I never lose sight of the city and its people.

00:49:38Mr. Morgan is here.

00:49:39Oh, hello, Morgan.

00:49:42Come in.

00:49:44I believe you and Sergeant Eckersley know each other?

00:49:47Yes, we've met.

00:49:48Sit down.

00:49:49Thank you, sir.

00:49:49The detectives were just telling...

00:49:51He don't mind.

00:49:56Mr. Morgan, I'm sure I don't need to remind you of the events of Tuesday the 14th.

00:50:01No, you don't need to.

00:50:04So?

00:50:06There's a large tape recorder in the foreground of photograph A.

00:50:08There's a reel on it.

00:50:09Yet in photograph B, taken 20 minutes later, the reel's missing.

00:50:13Mr. Morgan, you're the only person who could have taken that tape.

00:50:17Nice pictures.

00:50:18Is there something on the tape, Mr. Morgan?

00:50:20Morgan, I can call our legal department if you care to confer with one of our attorneys.

00:50:24I don't need a lawyer.

00:50:24Mr. Morgan, that tape is part of a police investigation.

00:50:28You did take it.

00:50:34Yes.

00:50:35Well, then, certainly you'd be willing to give it back.

00:50:49You're being very stubborn, Mr. Morgan.

00:50:51I'm a reasonable man, but I have an investigation to complete.

00:50:58Mr. Morgan, forgive my bluntness.

00:51:08You broke into Goldstein's apartment.

00:51:10You found the victim's body.

00:51:12You can't account for your time when the death occurred.

00:51:14And several witnesses recall seeing you and Goldstein having an argument on Tuesday when

00:51:18you left work.

00:51:19Furthermore, you have removed a critical piece of evidence which you refuse to turn over to us.

00:51:24When you want to confess, I'm available.

00:51:28Thank you.

00:51:47May I ask what you did?

00:51:49They think I killed someone.

00:51:51Oh, yeah?

00:51:52You look like a real killer.

00:51:53Hey, that's not funny.

00:51:55Look, a friend of mine is dead, and I didn't have a thing to do with it.

00:51:57I mean, I hear how you didn't do it.

00:52:00Why don't you read something?

00:52:28When I got the call, I thought it was for your glove compartment filled with parking

00:52:33tickets.

00:52:34Now I discover you're being held in lieu of a $75,000 bond, material witness in a homicide

00:52:39investigation.

00:52:40Can you get me out or not?

00:52:42Do you have access to money like that?

00:52:43Jill, are you kidding?

00:52:44I mean, my ex-wife gets 60% of my paycheck.

00:52:47What about collateral?

00:52:48Look, you handle my divorce, you know I get cleaned out.

00:52:50I mean, the police even took my wristwatch so I can't hang myself.

00:52:53Philip, you're in a lot of trouble.

00:52:55What's on the tape?

00:52:59Nothing much.

00:53:00It won't help.

00:53:01Does it implicate you?

00:53:02No.

00:53:03Someone else?

00:53:04No.

00:53:05How then?

00:53:06It might cheer up Detective Eckersley, for starters.

00:53:12All right.

00:53:14Look, I want you to go see a friend of mine.

00:53:15She has the tape.

00:53:16Tell her to have a copy made, then we'll have one for ourselves, and then we'll give

00:53:19Detective Eckersley the other one.

00:53:21I'll do what I can, Philip.

00:53:22But what you really need is a good criminal lawyer.

00:53:25Well, where can I get a copy of this tape made?

00:53:28There is an audio store upstairs on the street level.

00:53:30Go up there and tell them Lou Furman sent it.

00:53:33Yeah, that'll help.

00:53:36I'm Lou Furman.

00:53:53Keep quiet and come with us.

00:53:55Just cooperate and you won't be hurt.

00:53:59This isn't necessary, you know.

00:54:01I do have office hours.

00:54:04Old lady, help me.

00:54:05I'm being kidnapped.

00:54:17Oh, my baby!

00:54:21Careful, sonny.

00:54:22Get away from her.

00:54:24Now, take it easy, dear.

00:54:25Don't be awful.

00:54:26I'm here to help you.

00:54:27Help me.

00:54:27You the husband?

00:54:28No, no.

00:54:28You?

00:54:29I'm a nurse.

00:54:30No, I've never seen her before.

00:54:31I don't even know her.

00:54:33Help me.

00:54:34Help me.

00:54:34Let's get her to the first table.

00:54:35We're going to take her to the first table.

00:54:36Oh, my baby.

00:54:37Out of here.

00:54:45Sergeant, my client wishes to provide the police department with the missing tape.

00:54:49Well, well, well.

00:54:50Won't that be a good start.

00:54:53As you know, Mr. Morgan was a close friend of the deceased, Mr. uh...

00:54:57Goldstein.

00:54:58Goldstein.

00:55:00Hence, Mr. Morgan would like to make a few initial remarks.

00:55:05Well, I see Gwen Porter and Stripe.

00:55:13And there's more to the agency than meets the eye.

00:55:16Now, I don't know who they are.

00:55:18I don't know what they're trying to do.

00:55:21But Gwen, he's up to something.

00:55:41Wait.

00:55:43Let's just let her settle in.

00:55:48Mm-hmm.

00:56:04Don't.

00:56:17Mm-hmm.

00:56:31The tape.

00:56:33I don't have the tape.

00:56:43Now, it really isn't worth being scarred or mutilated.

00:56:49It really isn't.

00:56:52Listen, we only want the tape.

00:57:08Well, that was easy, wasn't it?

00:57:10You're a very sensible lady.

00:57:13Are you boys from the agency?

00:57:23Mr. Quinn left your creative session at 2 a.m. the night Goldstein died.

00:57:27Instead of going home, he went to his club, which was nearby.

00:57:30At 7 a.m., he went back to work.

00:57:32Witnesses every step of the way.

00:57:34But you see, he wanted witnesses that night.

00:57:36So far, Mr. Morgan, you haven't accounted for your time between 2 and 7 a.m.

00:57:40Sergeant, are you accusing my client?

00:57:43Only stating the facts as we know them.

00:57:48Mr. Morgan.

00:57:52You said you had a girlfriend.

00:57:55Did you see her that night?

00:57:58No.

00:57:59I checked Mr. Quinn's background myself.

00:58:00His credentials are excellent, though unusual.

00:58:03In fact, they couldn't be better.

00:58:04He's not only in advertising, is he?

00:58:06Goldstein and your woman friend, Mr. Morgan, they knew each other well?

00:58:09No, wait just a minute.

00:58:10Don't answer another question.

00:58:12My client agreed to provide police with it.

00:58:14Hold it.

00:58:15Let's listen to the tape.

00:58:25Brenda.

00:58:28Brenda?

00:58:30Brenda, are you in there?

00:58:35Brenda, open the door.

00:58:36Bella.

00:58:37Are you all right, Brenda?

00:58:38No.

00:58:44It's okay.

00:58:44I brought the police.

00:58:45Oh, you brought the police.

00:58:48How'd you know?

00:58:49Know what?

00:58:50They took the tape.

00:58:52Who?

00:58:54The two men.

00:58:56What two men?

00:58:58They tried to kidnap me, but I got away.

00:59:02They tried to kidnap me, but I got away because I was having a baby.

00:59:06You sit right here.

00:59:08They were waiting for me when I got home.

00:59:12I tried to call you, but they cut the line.

00:59:16And the phone's dead.

00:59:20It works.

00:59:22They said they wouldn't hurt me if I gave them the tape.

00:59:26So I had to, fellow.

00:59:28You gave them the tape?

00:59:30I knocked over the magazine basket, and they took the tape.

00:59:46Oh, Philip, it's not my imagination.

00:59:48It really happened.

00:59:50They drug me, and I woke up on the couch, and they even ripped my blouse.

00:59:56I'm sure they did.

00:59:58The tape was in this basket?

01:00:00Yeah.

01:00:02You okay?

01:00:04I'm okay.

01:00:10What they took, did it look like this?

01:00:12Hey, tell me something. Why are you in here?

01:00:14They call it suspicion.

01:00:16The police department contends I forged a series of checks.

01:00:20You're innocent, too.

01:00:22Well, it's not my game at all.

01:00:24What is your game?

01:00:26What is your game?

01:00:28B&E.

01:00:30Breaking and entering.

01:00:32And also crack safes.

01:00:36It's a fact.

01:00:38If I can make bail, I'll be back in business.

01:00:40I'm losing money while I'm locked up.

01:00:44All right, Morgan, it's your lucky day.

01:00:46It's what?

01:00:48You mean I'm out?

01:00:50Shit.

01:00:52Morgan,

01:00:54I played your girlfriend's tape.

01:00:56It's blank.

01:00:58I've also tracked down all the wild charges you made against your employer.

01:01:02They're also blank.

01:01:04Nevertheless, your dear old ad agency has put up money from its corporate account.

01:01:08You're being released in Mr. Quinn's custody.

01:01:12Behave yourself.

01:01:18Take care.

01:01:20Yeah, I hope so.

01:01:25I've been waiting for you.

01:01:29Mr. Quinn, Mr. Miller is here.

01:01:31George.

01:01:33Use the other door, George.

01:01:35Oh, of course.

01:01:47Miller.

01:01:49You wanted to see me, sir?

01:01:51Miller, this may be news to you, but I expect my instructions to be followed.

01:01:55Sir?

01:01:57The No Sweat television campaign.

01:01:59That was Remain Confidential, wasn't it?

01:02:01Yes, sir.

01:02:02Have you discussed it with anyone?

01:02:03Oh, no, sir, I haven't.

01:02:04You have, haven't you?

01:02:05Well, sir, Philip Morgan is head of creative, and I...

01:02:08Damn it, Miller.

01:02:09Confidential is confidential.

01:02:11Do you understand?

01:02:12Yes, sir.

01:02:13You knew my instructions.

01:02:14Yes, sir.

01:02:15And you behaved like an idiot.

01:02:16Yes, sir.

01:02:17Is this going to happen again?

01:02:18Yes, sir.

01:02:20All right, Miller, you can go.

01:02:25Miller.

01:02:27Button your coat.

01:02:35And, Miller.

01:02:37Why don't you lose some weight?

01:02:39Yes, sir.

01:02:49Yes, sir.

01:03:19I'll get it.

01:03:36Get his hat.

01:03:44Hold it.

01:03:46Couldn't have done it better myself.

01:03:48and I'm ready for a life in crime.

01:03:50I hope we're doing the right thing.

01:03:54How long is he out for?

01:03:56I gave him 200 milligrams of sodium amytal.

01:03:58That ought to put him out for about an hour.

01:04:00That's more than enough.

01:04:03There?

01:04:04Yeah.

01:04:15Hurry up.

01:04:19Forty-seven left.

01:04:22How much time we got left?

01:04:23How much?

01:04:25This save's tough on a bull's ass.

01:04:32Twenty-eight right.

01:04:34There's nothing I can't get into.

01:04:41Okay.

01:04:42Hey!

01:04:43What?

01:04:44Mind your manners, amateur.

01:04:45What? Gloves!

01:04:46Gloves!

01:04:51Jesus, Joseph and Mary.

01:04:53Exactly what I'm looking for.

01:04:55What are they?

01:04:56The ill-consensed commercials.

01:04:58What are they doing in a safe?

01:04:59I don't know.

01:05:00That's what we came to find out.

01:05:02Let's take a look at them.

01:05:03Shut up.

01:05:06Sleeping Beauty, let's get this junk back.

01:05:09Get the money.

01:05:13Christ!

01:05:14Ty!

01:05:15Ty!

01:05:16Ty!

01:05:17Hurry!

01:05:25Here, quick.

01:05:39The elevator was on this floor,

01:05:41so there's somebody up here somewhere.

01:05:47Who gave me a needle in the ass right here?

01:05:58What am I supposed to do?

01:06:00Turn the other cheek.

01:06:09We'll keep looking.

01:06:18Okay.

01:06:21Not a word all day about the burglary.

01:06:24Quinn's probably playing it very cool.

01:06:27Do you think he knows about it?

01:06:30There's nothing that man doesn't know.

01:06:33I'm sure he knows.

01:06:35There's nothing that man doesn't know.

01:06:46I just happen to have a couple of tickets to the ballet tomorrow night.

01:06:51Oh, Philip, I have other plans.

01:06:57I see.

01:06:58Another doctor's appointment.

01:07:01Am I interrupting?

01:07:03Mind if I sit down?

01:07:05Dr. Wilcox, good evening.

01:07:07What brings you here, Mr. Quinn?

01:07:09Mind if we talk a little business, Morgan?

01:07:12I don't usually come to people, they come to me.

01:07:14But tonight I need you.

01:07:17What's the occasion?

01:07:19Chocolate Planet is in trouble.

01:07:22How much trouble can a chocolate drink be in?

01:07:24Well, the initial advertising campaign plans are set.

01:07:27But two weeks from now,

01:07:28when we begin the follow-up,

01:07:31the feces will hit the fan.

01:07:33I need you to sort the project out.

01:07:36That's why I picked up your bail.

01:07:38$75,000, just for consultation.

01:07:42What about tomorrow? Do you have plans?

01:07:47As a matter of fact...

01:07:48I've sent a team up to my estate.

01:07:50No disturbances.

01:07:52I'll have a car pick you up in the morning.

01:07:55That's very thoughtful.

01:07:56Good.

01:07:57I knew I could count on you.

01:07:598 a.m.

01:08:01Good night, Doctor.

01:08:03Good night, Mr. Quinn.

01:08:05What a hit-and-run artist.

01:08:07Yeah.

01:08:09You're not going out to some deserted house

01:08:11with that fiend, are you?

01:08:13Hey, don't worry.

01:08:14I'm too big to fit in the refrigerator.

01:08:19What if he's got a walk-in freezer?

01:08:22Well, where are the doctors going tonight?

01:08:25Dancing.

01:08:26Oh, dancing. Oh, terrific.

01:08:29This doctor must be a proctologist.

01:08:31He's given me a real pain in the ass.

01:08:33Ah, here's my ride.

01:08:35I'll call you later.

01:08:41I'm sorry.

01:08:42It's all right.

01:08:43It's all right.

01:08:44It's all right.

01:08:45It's all right.

01:08:46It's all right.

01:08:47It's all right.

01:08:48It's all right.

01:08:50Hi.

01:08:51Good morning.

01:08:52Who's she?

01:08:54The chauffeur, I guess.

01:08:59Phillip?

01:09:00Enjoy your work.

01:09:02Enjoy your work.

01:09:18Did you get a promotion,

01:09:19or is being my chauffeur in your job description?

01:09:22You're being very flippant

01:09:23for a man out on a $75,000 bail.

01:09:27I'm your custodian, Phillip.

01:09:30Ah, yes.

01:09:42Why does a woman like you

01:09:43work for a man like Quinn, anyway?

01:09:45Phillip, you don't know a thing about Ted Quinn.

01:09:47Oh, don't I?

01:09:48Ted is a very brilliant, very innovative,

01:09:51and very sincere man.

01:09:53I suppose in advertising, anything's possible.

01:09:55He's concerned, sensitive,

01:09:57and highly moral.

01:09:58Hmm.

01:09:59Well, if I could just see one of the qualities that you see,

01:10:01I'd be greatly relieved.

01:10:03Maybe you haven't looked hard enough,

01:10:05or in the right place.

01:10:08Well, maybe I've looked too hard.

01:10:14Watch out.

01:10:27Watch out.

01:10:38Like it?

01:10:39Yeah, I wish I'd brought my skis.

01:10:49Now, I don't want to get into a heavy trip on this,

01:10:52but we've got to consider

01:10:53what the sponsor is coming down with.

01:10:56We've got an emergency.

01:10:58A chocolate planet emergency,

01:11:01I guess you could say.

01:11:03The packaging bombed out

01:11:04in some of our test sales areas.

01:11:07In St. Louis,

01:11:08the stores were shelving it with the motor oil.

01:11:11In Philadelphia,

01:11:12the supermarkets had it with the laxatives.

01:11:16So, I huddled with the sponsor

01:11:18and the art department,

01:11:19and we came up with this.

01:11:21A more zip, I think.

01:11:22More space-age.

01:11:24And notice,

01:11:25we tried not to make the rocket ship look too phallic.

01:11:28This is such garbage.

01:11:30Look at that.

01:11:31On the first package,

01:11:32we had a letter from a Catholic youth organization

01:11:34in South Philadelphia.

01:11:35Quinn is afraid of leaks,

01:11:36so we disconnected all the telephones.

01:11:38Penis image.

01:11:40Nonsense, of course.

01:11:42But...

01:11:44Good morning.

01:11:45Good morning.

01:11:46Good morning.

01:11:47Am I interrupting?

01:11:48Not at all.

01:11:49I just wanted to say a word or two.

01:11:51You people are all professionals.

01:11:53You've been through recessions before.

01:11:55We're here to sell America a new product.

01:11:58Our goal is to move five million units

01:12:00of the Chocolate Planet line

01:12:01within the first annum.

01:12:03Now, that's no easy task,

01:12:05but I feel that we have a team in this room

01:12:07who can put the final parts of the campaign together.

01:12:10Does anyone disagree?

01:12:13Up to it, Morgan?

01:12:14Of course, Mr. Quill.

01:12:15Good.

01:12:16I knew I could depend on you.

01:12:18Ladies and gentlemen,

01:12:19I am confident

01:12:20that you will not let me down.

01:12:23Bullshit.

01:12:24Chocolate Planet, my ass.

01:12:27Yes?

01:12:30Hello.

01:12:31Hi.

01:12:32I thought I heard you talking.

01:12:34Yeah, I was.

01:12:36May I come in?

01:12:37Can we talk?

01:12:41Sure, why not?

01:12:42You're head of personnel.

01:12:54What do you want to talk about?

01:12:58Philip,

01:12:59you're very slow

01:13:02and very attractive.

01:13:03Do you know that?

01:13:07I've been told worse.

01:13:09Remember the night when we were working late

01:13:11and you offered to take me out for a sandwich?

01:13:14And you declined.

01:13:17I figured it was the beginning of a seduction.

01:13:20It was that night.

01:13:23You changed your mind?

01:13:26No, I just don't pursue lost causes.

01:13:31Who says it's a lost cause?

01:13:52Jesus.

01:13:53Jesus.

01:14:00Jesus.

01:14:21Anybody here?

01:14:24No.

01:14:32Do you need a lift?

01:14:35Don't worry, Mr. Morgan.

01:14:37You haven't been forgotten.

01:14:47You're taking me back, huh?

01:14:50Hey, why all the star treatment?

01:14:52Have I made up for management?

01:14:56Keep quiet.

01:15:06Hey, you missed your turn.

01:15:08What are we doing?

01:15:10One of us is going to commit suicide.

01:15:13I don't suppose it's either one of you.

01:15:22I don't suppose it's either one of you.

01:15:53Hey, greaseball, are you a farmer?

01:15:55I ain't no farmer.

01:15:56How come you're riding around with a pig on your back?

01:16:00Mother.

01:16:01Get the bastard!

01:16:02Knock the jerk's head off!

01:16:03Name's Rick, and so am I!

01:16:05Kick him in the fucking balls, man!

01:16:07Come on, get him!

01:16:08Get him!

01:16:09Get him!

01:16:10Get him!

01:16:11Get him!

01:16:12Get him!

01:16:13Get him!

01:16:14Get him!

01:16:15Get him!

01:16:16Get him!

01:16:17Get him!

01:16:18Get him!

01:16:19Get him!

01:16:20Get him!

01:16:21Get him, man!

01:16:22Come on, get him!

01:16:23Motherfucker!

01:16:24Come on!

01:16:25Get him!

01:16:27Get the bastard!

01:16:48Holy shit!

01:16:49Where the hell did he come from?

01:16:52Christ!

01:17:10God damn it!

01:17:22Phew!

01:17:24Thank you.

01:17:27Holy shit!

01:17:36Oh, Christ!

01:17:41Jesus!

01:17:52Yes, hello?

01:17:53Brenda?

01:17:55Brenda?

01:17:57Yes.

01:17:58I'm just driving back from the country.

01:18:00Can you hear me all right?

01:18:01Yeah, you just called me.

01:18:02I was just leaving.

01:18:04Yes, I'm fine.

01:18:05Look, Brenda, this is serious.

01:18:07I gotta get to the agency immediately.

01:18:09Call Sergeant Eckersley and tell him to meet me there as soon as possible, okay?

01:18:13Sergeant Eckersley?

01:18:21Yeah.

01:18:30You got any gas?

01:18:31Nope.

01:18:32All we sell here is teddy bears.

01:18:34You fill both of them up.

01:18:40That phone work?

01:18:41Yeah.

01:18:42Do you work?

01:18:46Tell me, where do you two dudes pick up on a couple of choppers?

01:18:50You get lucky in a Cracker Jack box?

01:18:54Why don't you shut your little mouth?

01:18:59All right.

01:19:00I see.

01:19:01Well, where do you think he is now?

01:19:06Well, follow him in there.

01:19:07I want this settled tonight.

01:19:11Morons.

01:19:13Come on, Charlie.

01:19:15Open up.

01:19:16I gotta go up to the office.

01:19:21He's so slow.

01:19:22He must be getting paid by the hour.

01:19:32Thanks.

01:19:37Hank!

01:19:38Hank!

01:19:39Hank!

01:19:41Hank!

01:19:42Hold it.

01:19:44You gotta sign in.

01:20:10Hank.

01:20:40Hank.

01:21:11Three hundred and three.

01:21:12The model's here now.

01:21:26Hank!

01:21:27Hank!

01:21:28Hank!

01:21:29Hank!

01:21:30Hank!

01:21:31Hank!

01:21:32Hank!

01:21:33Hank!

01:21:34Hank!

01:21:35Hank!

01:21:36Hank!

01:21:37Hank!

01:21:39Hank!

01:21:40Hank!

01:21:45Hank!

01:21:51Wow!

01:22:22Is this the tie you were looking for?

01:22:24So that's what you're doing. Sabotaging elections.

01:22:28You think on a very small scale, Morgan.

01:22:31It's a lot more than elections.

01:22:33Yeah, well, so what is it?

01:22:34You're not an advertising man, so what are you?

01:22:37It's all upstairs. You want to see it?

01:22:41Come on.

01:22:45Trust me, Philip.

01:22:49Let's have a private screening, huh?

01:22:52Sometimes, Mr. Quinn, you're too nice to me.

01:23:01So this is the 28th floor.

01:23:03When are you going to open it?

01:23:05Never.

01:23:17You remember No Sweat, Morgan?

01:23:19I use a different brand.

01:23:21Yeah, so do I.

01:23:23Sit down.

01:23:25Come on, make yourself comfortable.

01:23:38The No Sweat campaign carried two messages.

01:23:41The sponsors...

01:23:44and mine.

01:23:48Subliminal tape beneath the search tape.

01:23:51I can bring it up or fade it down as I see fit.

01:23:56The message registers, but the viewer is not conscious of it.

01:23:59On the commercials that ran,

01:24:01my subliminal message was embedded in the videotape

01:24:04at 1 300th of the intensity of the surface message.

01:24:08I got through to my audience, Morgan.

01:24:10I retired the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

01:24:13That's one more knee-jerk liberal out of the way.

01:24:16How do you know he wouldn't have lost anyway?

01:24:18Consider the technique.

01:24:19Our candidate was trailing by 9 to 11 points

01:24:22in all the polls up until a week before the election.

01:24:27No Sweat changed all that.

01:24:29Well, I suppose your next step is the White House.

01:24:32Precisely.

01:24:34It's a devastating weapon, Morgan.

01:24:36Let us into the living room, we can enter the mine.

01:24:38It's power.

01:24:39Whose power?

01:24:40Our power.

01:24:41Public opinion is crucial.

01:24:43Someone must use a guiding hand.

01:24:44And you've chosen yourself for that privilege?

01:24:46Not at all.

01:24:47I've been hired.

01:24:48Financed.

01:24:49I am in philosophical agreement with the people I work for.

01:24:52So that does make it cozy.

01:24:53Who are they?

01:24:54The names don't matter, Morgan.

01:24:56Though you might recognize some of them.

01:24:58Let's just call them an elite of power.

01:25:01Or maybe an influential elite

01:25:04who understand the value of manipulating public opinion.

01:25:07You know, Mr. Quinn, I'm going to expose you.

01:25:09I think not, Morgan.

01:25:10Nor have you any right to.

01:25:11The public wants to be led.

01:25:13It needs to be led.

01:25:14We have long-term plans.

01:25:20What a great idea.

01:25:21A picnic on the lunar surface.

01:25:23I don't know how this happened,

01:25:25but I forgot the chocolate planet mix.

01:25:27Oh, no.

01:25:29There needn't be an emergency.

01:25:31Chocolate planet is available everywhere.

01:25:33Subliminal messages for children, too?

01:25:36It's the next generation.

01:25:38They spend six hours a day

01:25:41It's the next generation.

01:25:43They spend six hours a day watching television.

01:25:45We can plant seeds.

01:25:47What's beneath that commercial?

01:25:48It's not all negative, Morgan.

01:25:49Really, it isn't.

01:25:51The concentration of power is healthy.

01:25:54It's like a vacuum cleaner

01:25:55that sucks up all the chaos and disorder

01:25:57and gets rid of it.

01:25:59It's as simple as getting a few messages across.

01:26:01It gives you the right to clean up anything.

01:26:04In the end, people will always think for themselves.

01:26:06But deep faith in human nature

01:26:08comes from a man who's built a career

01:26:10on suggesting the differences between laundry detergents,

01:26:13mouthwashes, and dog food.

01:26:16Philip, you leave me speechless.

01:26:20There's nothing on the chocolate planet commercial yet.

01:26:23It's like an unloaded gun.

01:26:25We begin programming it tomorrow.

01:26:27Without you, I'm afraid.

01:26:30This time, do it right.

01:26:33Morgan, I had such hopes for you.

01:26:39You're going for another ride in the country?

01:26:41You're late for an appointment.

01:26:43With your maker.

01:26:46Hey, you didn't sign in.

01:27:38Come on.

01:27:39Come on.

01:27:40Come on.

01:28:06Your switchboard is closed from 9pm to 9am.

01:28:10Come on.

01:28:35Hold it, Morgan.

01:28:41Mr. Quinn.

01:28:49Are you going to kill me the same way you did Goldstein?

01:28:51No, no.

01:28:52We suffocated him.

01:28:54I'm going to shoot you.

01:28:56How are you going to make that look like suicide?

01:28:58I'm Mr. Morgan.

01:29:00You came in here like a maniac and attacked me.

01:29:02When they find you with a bullet...

01:29:03Fascinating, Mr. Quinn.

01:29:05Don't stop now.

01:29:11Mr. Morgan, it seems I owe you an apology.

01:29:14You know what you've just heard might be open to misinterpretation.

01:29:17Oh, yeah?

01:29:32See what they did? They silenced Quinn.

01:29:40Thank you.

01:29:59Thank you.

01:30:04You know, if Quinn had finance against superiors...

01:30:07It means they could go into business again tomorrow with a different agency...

01:30:10And with a different Quinn.

01:30:14But, of course, that's not my most pressing problem tonight.

01:30:17You are.

01:30:18Me?

01:30:20Yes.

01:30:22I suppose your friend is still waiting for you.

01:30:24Yeah, but it's been five hours.

01:30:26Well, you had something good planned.

01:30:28Third row seats. Now let me in.

01:30:30Ballet?

01:30:31Basketball.

01:30:32Oh, basketball.

01:30:33Well, you're expanding your horizons.

01:30:35Touché.

01:30:37Well, you know, you being a professional lady of intelligence and independence...

01:30:41Do you think it's possible that you could find happiness this evening...

01:30:43With a man who is soon to retire from the advertising business?

01:30:47Ah, possible.

01:30:48Only possible?

01:30:50Probably.

01:30:51I don't be easy.

01:30:53But I thought we might go get a late night supper...

01:30:55And after that I got a hungry cat to feed back at my place.

01:31:01Come on.

01:31:02Hey, uh, how's Princess adjusting to the new surroundings?

01:31:06Well, I discovered something interesting about Princess that Sam never told us.

01:31:10What's that?

01:31:12She's a male.

01:33:32THE END
