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.

- Yes, I do. I surely do.

- Cindy. Cindy.

The New Wave look of...

Hey, hey, hey.

What happened?

Don't look at the screen.

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

what they did to me and also the girls.

Larry, you know what, I...

Cindy.

Cindy!

Fruit of the Loom Guys!

- Our briefs holding up okay, chief?

- I see a lot of underwear down here.

Fruit of the Loom

is the pride of my fleet.

Thanks to our Superband waistband.

Snaps back wash after wash.

- That's quality.

- At a low price.

Take it from a pro.

Hey, you guys getting seasick?

- nail color lasts at least three days

without any significant chipping or peeling.

And we polished

over 1000 nails to prove it.

In consumer tests, 111 women put their

nails through 3 days worth of punishment.

And 76 percent came out...

All these good things are about to become

the Shakey's Pizza...

... that is your favorite and ours.

A pizza so special that it can only be called

the Shakey's Special.

Isn't this the pits?

I never dreamed when I married Jim

I'd end up with this in my hand.

But, gee, you have a college degree.

Lot of good it does me.

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.

Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall,

how can I be sure that Bill will call?

Well, of course, you are very beautiful.

Well, that's sweet of you.

- But there's one thing you lack.

- Tell me, mirror, what is that?

- Ravish.

- Ravish?

Ravish perfume. Here, put a little...

- My toe?

- You never know.

Now, I wonder who that could be.

Ravish.

Let me ask you a frank question:

Are you feeling out of sorts?

Are you frequently irritable and on edge?

Constipation is nothing to sneeze at.

But there is an easy answer.

Relieve.

Gentle and natural

time-released laxative capsule.

Relieve gets you through

difficult days smoothly...

... without any of the harshness

of ordinary laxatives.

So if you're troubled

by occasional irregularity...

... you need Relieve.

Time-released laxative capsules

whenever you're...

And Converse All Stars have been there.

In Berlin, London, Helsinki,

Melbourne, Rome...

... Mexico City, the U.S.

Since basketball became

an Olympic sport...

... Converse All Stars have been there.

And again this year in Montreal,

Converse is supplying the U.S. Team...

... with Converse All Stars.

- You okay?

- Yeah, are you?

I've done it, Cindy. I've worked it all out.

Now come on. Let's get out of here.

Okay, we can synch up to visual.

Give us a level, please.

I'm sorry, could we

have that level again, Mr. Reston?

My name is John 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 the girl back here...

...and get rid of him. Got it?

- Count on Reston Industries.

Today, tomorrow, forever.

Is that right, Mr. Reston?

"Today, tomorrow, forever"?

- Forever, yes! Forever!

- Okay, Mr. Reston.

Lieutenant Masters.

Larry, look out!

To hell with him. We got the girl.

Come on, let's go. Bring her.

Any proof that Reston's people

were here?

A smoke gun. I put it away.

Good. Don't tell the others.

We're closing in,

it's just a question of...

...what Roberts does now.

And whether he stays alive.

Have you lost purpose in your life?

Does everything seem hopeless?

Are you tired and defeated?

Have you lost your?

The first day of the rest of your life.

You can have a new purpose,

a new reason for being alive.

Yes, folks.

Miraculous as it may seem...

- Idiot, what are you doing?

- ... these are the possibilities...

... for a bright, glowing future for you.

Now. Yes, I say now.

Because it's happening right now.

Because there's a high-paying career

for you...

Imagine yourself

as a computer programmer.

That's the future we offer you in our

course at Western Technology School.

There are more of them every day.

And more programmers needed to fill

those high-paying spots.

Get security now. Why delay?

It's the wave...

Baker-Twelve, Baker-Twelve...

He's over there.

Would you give me

that information, please?

- No, he's not here.

- License similar to:

- Call it off.

- Mary-Lincoln-Tom-8-2-5, possibly 2000...

RI Central to car nine,

RI Central to car seven,

Officers.

They can never leave.

He armed?

- No, he's not armed.

- Not armed. We're bringing him back.

Yeah, sure.

We gotta keep you quiet until it's over.
