CRYPT KEEPER: They tell me Luca Brasi
sleeps with the fishes.

He's a strange guy.

But that's not why I called this meeting
of the five families.

The Tahacklias, the Bonettis, the others.

The reason I called you all together is this.

As Godfather of the Goreleone family,

I say it's time
that we in horrorganized crime

stopped frighting each other.

I want there to be peace amongst us.

I want there to be a whole lot of pieces.

(CACKLlNG)

Which is kind of like the young man
in tonight's tale.

He wants a whole lot of something, too.

In a nasty nugget I call "Smoke Wrings."

WOMAN: They're ready for you
on the eighth floor.

HAROLD: Okay, thank you very much.

-Allow me.
-Thank you.

-You work here, love?
-Yes. Yes, I do.

JACQUELlNE: Come in.

HAROLD: Do you know the word I use
to describe this?

Essential.

Look, I know it's just toothpaste,
but I like to think that what I'm going after

is a total lifestyle.

To me it says,

"Feel me! Taste me! Be me! "

Look...

And having been with
the same agency for eight years...

Don't get me wrong.

For the millennium.

I feel a great need
to expand my creativity.

Well, not expand my creativity,
but to stretch it.

New York is great. I just need a break.

A philistine would call it yellow.

I like to think
it's been kissed by buttercups!

I won an award in Korea for it.

Every agency there
is like wall-to-wall assholes.

I'll be honest with you, Ms. Edwards,
I haven't got a portfolio.

And even if I did have one,
I wouldn't show it to you.

Well, it's all crap, isn't it?

I bet you've been sitting here for hours
looking at portfolios

filled with inane cack.

And the people, you wouldn't
have them wipe your ass for you,

never mind create advertising.

Have you ever worked
in advertising before?

-Every bloody day of my life.
-I meant in an agency.

-Does it matter?
-Well, it kind of helps, yeah.

-Even if that's not what you're looking for.
-Oh, really?

-What am I looking for?
-For yourself.

Someone who's got what you've got.
Same swagger.

Same ass-kicking,
rip-the-fucking-walls-down attitude

that sets you apart from
the rest of the fucking herd.

So...

You've never worked in an agency before,
you've got no portfolio,

and the only thing
you do have to show for yourself

is a set of giant-sized brass balls.

What'd you say your name was?

Barry. Barry Manners.

Hello. It's nice to meet you, Barry.

Barry just joined us today and I thought
I'd throw him right into the deep end.

-I hope you don't mind, Ellen, do you?
-I mind.

-Ellen, nice to see you.
-Hello, Frank.

Now, we've got a lot to talk about.

So, if you don't mind,
I'd like to get down to business.

Fine, let's get down to business.

Now,

in the five years that we've been
handling your account, Ellen,

we've managed to keep
the profile of your chocolates

at a consistently high level.

But we're beginning to feel the campaign's
looking a little bit old-fashioned.

Now,

this is a computer-generated fractal

of Chalmers Chocolate packaging.

It jumps out of the background.

It's modern, it's stylish,

it's funky.

(CLEARS THROAT)

BARRY: Excuse me.

I know I'm the new kid here but...

Is this really the best we can do?

Sorry about this, Ellen. This is incredible.

Incredible's the last thing this is.

I mean, the idea's bad enough.
Talk about boring.

Look at this artwork.

What is it?

It's a fractal.

You have a better idea, Barry?

No. No, not at the moment.
But I do know this.

Your company needs
a much more sophisticated approach

than what we're offering you.

What sort of drugs were you on
when you did this?

When people look at this,
they're not going to want a nice chocky,

they're gonna want to vomit.

I'm not the only person
to be thinking that.

Am l?

Well...

Actually...

I think Barry's got a point.

I've never been so embarrassed
in my entire life.

Frank, relax. I've talked to Ellen.
It's going to be all right.

All right?
How the hell am I gonna face her?

Well, the fractal idea...

No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

In the last five years,
we've not done badly by her.

I can't believe you didn't fire
that little shit.

I would've done. Right on the spot!

Look, Frank, I'll talk to him, okay.

-And if he ever does that to you again...
-To me?

Bloody hell, Jacqueline, what
he did, he did to the company.

Not to me.

You're right. Absolutely right.
And I'll deal with it.

Now...

You still want to come by later on tonight?

Well l...

I'd love to, but l...

You know I got to think of something
to replace those

computer graphics.

Maybe tomorrow.

(CHUCKLES)

So, how long have you been
standing here?

Close it.

Look,

I know what you're going to say...

You've got Frank running scared.
It's brilliant!

It's the best thing
that could've happened to him.

Everything you said about him today
is true.

He is boring.

In everything he does.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that.

Not half as sorry as I am.

Maybe we need a change.

Mind you...

You haven't shown me yet
whether you can deliver the goods.

Think you can prove yourself
by tomorrow morning?

By tomorrow.

Yeah.

I think I can come up with a few thoughts.

I don't want thoughts.

I want genius.

(WATER DRlPPlNG)

Are you there?

(CLATTERlNG)

That you?

Where're you going, mate?

You do that again,
I'm gonna smash your face!

How'd it go today? You get the job?

She bought it.
Just like you said she would.

(LAUGHlNG)

And you know why she bought it?

Because that's exactly
what she said to me when I hired her.

I believe it.

BARRY: I'm not surprised she stole
your company away from you, Alistair.

That's Mr. Touchstone to you.

(COUGHlNG)

You see this little microchip?

This creates a sound wave
that permeates the subconscious.

Opening the mind
to the power of suggestion

of, say, a particular advertisement.

Just give me the rest of my money, okay?

You remember what I asked you
when I found you?

I asked what scares you.
You remember what you said?

-Going back to prison.
-lt was something else scares you.

What was it, Barry?

Was it rats?

No...

(ALlSTAlR LAUGHlNG)

(SQUEAKlNG)

(SCREAMlNG)

Amazing, isn't it?
The power of suggestion.

You put an idea into somebody's head
or the sudden desire for something

and that's all they can think about.

Amazing.

(CHUCKLES)

Bloody amazing.

And what about that idea
we tossed around a while back,

famous chocolate lovers in history?
What about that?

No.

Or the supermodels
talking about their "first time."

I suppose it could be fun.

-"l remember the nuts."
-"'Bite me,' it said."

"l loved the creamy bit."

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

Morning, all!

Do you mind if I cut in, Frank?

That is, if you're finished
wasting Jacqueline's time.

Now listen, you little shit...

Actually, Frank is on to something.

-Yeah.
-I'm sure it's absolutely brilliant.

But this is better.

(BEEPS)

What do you think?

What is this, a joke?

Frankly, I don't think our little friend
does jokes.

I don't think he does much
of anything at all.

This is your idea of genius?

(FRANK CHUCKLlNG)

FRANK: Wait a minute.

I took the liberty of trying this out

on a few of our other clients' products.

-That's just great.
-I love this stuff.

Oh, that's delicious.

(FRANK BURPS)

-FRANK: It's great but the...
-And this.

-No. Give it to me.
-I know it's my...

-What are you doing?
-Now let me do this.

I always wanted to do this.

-God, it smells so good.
-What are you doing?

And this product...

-You sultry bitch.
-You worm, get on your knees.

-I'll get on my knees...
-Take off your fucking pants.

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

FRANK: Just stop this, okay?

Now look here,
I don't know how you do it.

It's crap, you understand, it's crap!

You think it's crap? Christ!

I think it's brilliant!

(EXCLAlMlNG)

God.

Tamara, get me Ellen Jameson
on the phone. Now!

Would you like to try
some of this chocolate?

Amazing.

No, thanks.

GlRL: There is enough for everyone.

ALlSTAlR: I'd like to have seen the look
on Jacqueline's face.

BARRY: You know,

I'm beginning to like
this advertising business.

I think I'll keep my hand in
when all this is finished.

Oh, yeah?

One thing bothers me, though.

When I had this device on,

everybody else is going nuts
for chocolate.

-Why didn't l?
-You like chocolate?

-No.
-There you have it.

The device doesn't change behavior.
It just heightens what's already there.

Which is exactly what
the next step entails.

Heightening what you've already started.

(CHUCKLlNG)

Well, I think they're all right.

I think they suck.

These are no different
to the photos I've been using.

The difference is, these photos suck.

Well, why don't you go
and find some bloody pictures, huh?

Jacqueline, I think it's time
we told Frank what we want.

Well actually, Frank,

what I want is

for Barry to head the Chalmers Chocolate
account from now on.

What?

I've been working on this account
for years.

Christ, I was the one who brought it in!

Yeah, but right now,
Barry's the one who can keep it here.

I don't believe you.

And what happens when
that stupid little gadget breaks down

or it starts wearing off,
what're you gonna do then?

Frank, I'm sorry.

I know it's sudden
but I've made up my mind.

And what am I supposed to do?
Work under him?

No. You're not.

You're sacking me.

You're sacking me?

I was the one got this agency back
on its feet after Alistair left.

Me, not him. Me.

Clear out your desk, Frank. Now.

With pleasure.

Took that rather well, I thought.

Didn't put up much of a fight at all, did he?

I have a feeling he knew it was coming.

As the new head of
the Chalmers account,

I say we celebrate.

Right. I could use a drink.

I'll go get my coat.

You don't waste any time.

(BEEPS)

You little bastard.

It won't make you do anything
you don't want to.

(MOANlNG)

Why don't we take this back to my place.

That's a fine idea.

(GASPlNG ON lNTERCOM)

(KlSSlNG)

(MOANlNG)

(BEEPlNG)

Shit!

-I'm ready.
-So am l.

Barry?

I know this might be a little ungrateful,

but I have a message from
your ex-partner.

-You know Alistair?
-Quite well.

And his message is,

"Drop dead."

(SHOUTlNG)

(SCREAMlNG)

Where are you?

Barry? Is that you?

Did Frank kill Jacqueline?

Not exactly.

Oh, my God.

You did it?

No, you did it.

Well, that's what the police will think
when they find you.

Come here!

FRANK: Actually, the police won't
think that at all.

They'll think you killed Jacqueline.

Which, of course, is exactly what you did.

Looks like you're going back to prison,
after all.

You bastards!

(SlRENS BLARlNG)

COP: There he is! Go on! Go on! Grab him!

(SCREAMlNG)

(GADGET BEEPS)

You were right.
The silent version is much more powerful.

Much more powerful.

He took every suggestion we gave him.

What did he say?

Something about the police, I think.

Barry, there are no police.

It's all in your mind.

That's easy for him to say.

More importantly, what does Ellen think?

Is our most demanding client happy?

That was the most amazing presentation
I've ever seen.

And the account is still yours.

-Let's celebrate with a drink.
-Yes, yes, yes.

Suddenly, I'm dying for one.

FRANK: Come on, let's go
get something to eat.

I found this incredible restaurant nearby,
it's...

ELLEN: Frank, you always say
the smartest things.

I guess Barry didn't realize
the ad campaign would be his.

Still, it's good to see
that he's "groan" into the job.

(CACKLlNG)

So,

everyone agrees to the truce,

except you.

You know what that means, don't you?

It means I have to kill you.

Take that!

That's why they call me

"The offer you can't refuse."

(CACKLlNG)
