All language subtitles for Tales From The Crypt (1989) S07E09 Smoke Wrings.en

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.

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."

They're ready for
you on the eighth floor.

Okay, thank you very much.

- Allow me.
- Thank you.

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

Come in.

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.

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 I?

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 I...

I'd love to, but I...

You know I got to think of
something to replace those

computer graphics.

Maybe tomorrow.

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.

Are you there?

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.

And you know why she bought it?

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

I believe it.

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

That's Mr. Touchstone to you.

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.
- It was something else scares you.

What was it, Barry?

Was it rats?

No...

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.

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.

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

"I loved the creamy bit."

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.

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?

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.

- 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.

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!

God.

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

Would you like to try
some of this chocolate?

Amazing.

No, thanks.

There is enough for everyone.

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

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 I?
- 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.

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.

You little bastard.

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

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

That's a fine idea.

Shit!

- I'm ready.
- So am I.

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."

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!

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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."
