OK, HERE WE GO.

"HOW DO YOU SPELL

RELIEF? G-O-D."

THAT'S NICE.

IT'S--IT'S REAL NICE,

BUT I DON'T THINK

IT'S FOR ME.

HOW ABOUT THIS--

"GOD IS BULLISH

ON HUMANITY."

THAT'S NICE, TOO.

YOU GOT ANY MORE?

OH, SURE. THIS ONE'S

MY FAVORITE.

"YOU'RE IN GOOD

HANDS WITH GOD."

THAT'S GOOD,

BUT THEN AGAIN, TRACY,

THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN GOOD.

I THOUGHT YOU'D GO

FOR THAT ONE.

HOW ABOUT,

"LET GOD PUT YOU--"

IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT?

YEAH.

LOOK, I WORKED HARD

ON THESE.

I'M SURE YOU DID,

BUT, TRACY,

I DON'T WANT YOU

TO THINK I'M BRAGGING,

BUT LET'S FACE IT,

I'M AN ORIGINAL,

THE ONE AND ONLY.

I MADE MY OWN MOLD

AND THREW IT AWAY.

YOU KNOW, THIS ISN' EXACTLY EASY.

I DIDN'T SAY IT WOULD BE.

ONE MORE WEEK.

JUST A WEEK?

THAT'S LONG ENOUGH.

LOOK WHAT I:

ACCOMPLISHED IN A WEEK,

AND WITHOUT COMPUTERS.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE

A MATH TEST COMING UP.

ONE WEEK.

I SAY IF YOU DON' SET DEADLINES,

NOTHING HAPPENS.

CAN I ASK MY DAD

FOR HELP?

IN MATH, SURE.

WHAT ABOUT SHINGO?

CAN HE HELP ME?

YOUR LITTLE FRIEND?

YEAH, SHINGO CAN HELP.

WE'LL DO

THE BEST WE CAN.

WE'LL REALLY TRY.

I DON'T SEE WHY

YOU HAVE TO:

HAVE IT SO FAST.

TRACY?

WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?

NOTHING. UM, NOBODY.

YOU WERE JUS TALKING TO SOMEONE.

THAT? OH, I WAS TALKING

BACK TO THE TELEVISION.

THE SET ISN'T EVEN ON.

I TURNED IT OFF.

IT WAS SOME DUMB

COMMERCIAL.

THEY'RE ALWAYS

TRYING TO SELL:

YOU SOMETHING.

HOW ABOUT, "YOU CAN

BE SURE IF IT'S GOD"?

NO, IT HAS

TO BE ORIGINAL.

WE'VE BEEN AT I FOR HOURS.

LET'S GO HOME.

I'M STARVED.

WAIT! I THINK I'M

ON TO SOMETHING.

I LIKE IT. LET'S GO.

I DIDN'T SAY IT YET.

HOW ABOUT,

"BUY GOD. B-U-Y"?

GREAT. LET'S GO.

NAH,

IT'S TOO COMMERCIAL.

HE WOULDN'T LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW HIM:

BETTER THAN I DO.

HOW ABOUT, "TRY GOD"?

GREAT.

"GOOD GOD."

THAT'S EVEN GREATER.

"GREAT GOD."

PERFECT!

NO, IT JUST MISSES.

HOW COME EVERYTHING

JUST MISSES?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST A GUT FEELING.

THAT'S AN ADVERTISING

EXPRESSION.

I'VE GO A GUT FEELING, TOO.

I'M HUNGRY.

WE'LL THINK GOD

TOMORROW.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I SAID WE'LL

THINK GOD TOMORROW.

THAT'S IT!

WHAT'S IT?

THINK GOD! THINK GOD!

THAT'S A TERRIFIC SLOGAN!

OH, SHINGO,

YOU SAVED THE DAY.

"THINK GOD."

HE'LL LOVE IT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

WHO IS SHE TALKING TO?

THERE'S GOT TO BE

SOMETHING WRONG:

WITH THAT KID.

IT'S THE SECOND

TIME I'VE SEEN

HER DO THAT.

HARRIET, LOOK AT THE WAY

SHE'S CARRYING ON.

POOR TRACY.

POOR PAULA.

I WOULDN'T WAN TO BE HER MOTHER.

THINK GOD. HMM. YEAH.

THINK GOD.

VERY INTERESTING.

IT'S GOT A MESSAGE,

IT'S SHORT,

AND TELLS IT ALL.

TRACY, I REALLY LIKE IT.

THANK GOD.

THAT'S GOOD, TOO,

BUT LET'S GO

WITH "THINK GOD."

SHINGO CAME UP:

WITH THAT ONE.

I HAD A HUNCH HE WOULD.

HOW ARE YOU:

GOING TO SPREAD:

THE SLOGAN AROUND?

YOU'VE DONE SUCH

A GOOD JOB,

I'M GOING

TO HAVE YOU DO IT.

ME? I WOULDN'T KNOW

WHERE TO START.

WHY NOT STAR WITH YOUR FRIENDS?

BUT A WHOLE BIG:

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN?

HOW WOULD I DO THAT?

YOU'LL FIND A WAY.

THIS ISN'T FAIR.

WHY DON'T YOU

PICK ON SOMEBODY

WHO ISN'T BEHIND

IN HER HOMEWORK?

I'VE PICKED ON

SOME GOOD PEOPLE.

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY

TO BE IN THEIR COMPANY.

WELL, OK.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE

NOT EXACTLY EASY

TO TURN DOWN.

SO THAT'S WHA WE'VE GOT TO DO--

WRITE "THINK GOD"

ALL OVER THE PLACE.

ON WALLS, ON SIDEWALKS,

WE'VE GOT TO STICK SIGNS

ON TREES,

CAR BUMPERS,

TELEPHONE POLES,

EVERYWHERE.

WE WANT IT ALL OVER.

"THINK GOD."

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

WHAT?

I THINK:

YOU'RE A LOONY.

[LAUGHTER]

IF I'M GOING

TO WRITE ON WALLS,

I'M NOT WRITING

"THINK GOD."

THE THINGS:

YOU WRITE ON WALLS

WOULD FOG UP:

YOUR GLASSES.

COME ON, YOU GUYS.

LET TRACY TALK.

LISTEN.

THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.

WE ALL TAKE GOD:

TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED.

WE SHOULD REMIND PEOPLE

TO THINK ABOUT HIM.

IF NOT FOR HIM,

WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.

THAT WILL SHAKE UP

MY PARENTS.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

I THINK TRACY'S GO A NEAT IDEA.

LET'S DO SOMETHING GOOD

FOR A CHANGE.

LET'S VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR,

RAISE YOUR HANDS.

YAY!

YAY!

YAY!

YAY!

WHAT IS THIS?

WHAT ARE WE,

RELIGIOUS FREAKS?

NEXT YOU'LL HAVE US

SHAVING OUR HEADS.

I'VE HEARD

SOME DUMB IDEAS,

I'VE HEARD SOME

CRAZY IDEAS,

BUT THIS ONE:

TAKES THE CAKE,

AND IT SHOULD:

TAKE THE CAKE:

BECAUSE IT'S THE GREATES IDEA I EVER HEARD.

LET'S GET TOGETHER

AND PUT THIS THING OVER.

Josh Greenfeld

Josh Greenfeld (27 February 1928 – 11 May 2018) was an author and screenwriter mostly known for his screenplay for the 1974 film Harry and Tonto along with Paul Mazursky, which earned them an Academy Award nomination and its star, Art Carney, the Oscar itself for Best Actor. Greenfeld also wrote Oh, God! Book II and the TV special Lovey and is the author of several books about his autistic son, Noah Greenfeld. The trilogy, A Child Called Noah, A Place for Noah, and A Client Called Noah, detail the effects that Noah's disabilities place on the Greenfelds and the extraordinary lengths that the family went through to find the very best care available for their son. His wife, Fumiko Kometani, is a Japanese writer and has won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's most prestigious literary award; she too wrote about their son and his developmental disability. His older son, Karl Taro Greenfeld, a special contributor to Portfolio and Details, wrote his own story of growing up with Noah entitled Boy Alone: A Brother's Memoir.Among Greenfeld's plays are Clandestine on the Morning Line, I Have a Dream, The Last Two Jews of Kabul, Whoosh!, and Canal Street. His novels include O for a Master of Magic, The Return of Mr. Hollywood, and What Happened Was This. In 1968, Greenfeld signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.Greenfeld attended Brooklyn College; he received a BA from the University of Michigan and an MA from Columbia University. more…
