They Have Changed Their Face Page #3

---

I am ready, let's go.

I know a shortcut.

- But it's a rocky place.

- Afraid?

Have you seen her?

Did she come back?

- You are not nice to me.

- Forgive me.

Look, a church.

It's quite beautiful.

Come, I want to see inside.

- No!

I am a bit tired.

I'll wait in the car.

Why did you look at her like that?

- Madonna Santissima!

I know nothing! I saw nothing!

- I won't hurt you!

What is it you haven't seen?

- Leave her alone.

She's very old.

We are humble people here.

We want nothing to do with

those at the villa.

- But who are they?

- The Bible says,

'And he did not know

that giants are there,

and that her guests

are in the depths of hell.'

Now please leave.

Get out!

Wasn't a good idea, was it?

No.

Good evening, Dr. Valle.

I regret, but I cannot

enjoy your company tonight.

I expect some people

for a business meeting.

Supper will be served for you

in your room.

Thank you.

For this reason I think that...

Thank you.

... male sexuality today

should only be glorified

through consistent use

of mass media.

Science fiction has reached

the level of art.

Take Marcuse, for example,

who towers over the rest of us.

No, no. I disagree.

We are all slaves.

That's the problem.

The truly free cinema is

advertising.

Advertising is truth.

The problem of maleness

is of no interest to me.

The productivity index

that grows, rises,

hardens and becomes engorged -

that's much more interesting.

... provoked by

a strong personality.

Otherwise of course

all men are equal.

For instance, take Adolf Hitler...

- Exactly!

Pius XI called Benito Mussolini

a Man of Providence.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Board meeting 022,

Chemical Industry Sector,

Group A, report on the

increase of weekly production.

Pharmaceuticals, 23%.

Contraceptives, 36%.

Chemical weapons group, 125%.

Detergents, 0.09%.

Reason?

Concerns over water pollution.

Especially safety of children.

Remedy?

A new biodegradable detergent.

Our chemists...

You have forgotten we have

Apart from that, our chemists

have more serious things to do.

We shall package the old

detergents in new packaging.

Ladies and gentlemen,

think of a new brand name.

Arranging consensus.

How to cultivate optimism.

The consumer will be attacked

when he least expects it:

in the intimacy

of the living-room,

in the kitchen,

in the bedroom.

Narcissism of the masses.

Attack on the subconscious.

The capriciousness of the consumer.

The substance we work on

is the human mind.

Symbols of prestige.

The hooks are baited.

Immaculate.

Virgin!

- Cleano! - Gaga!

- Nobiologic! - Candour!

- Chin-chin! - Fresh!

- Biancus Biancus!

No, ladies and gentlemen.

The name must put paid to

all pollution fears.

We'll call it Clean Water.

And the slogan will be,

'The Cradle of Life and Clean Water.'

- Beautiful!

- Pure genius!

- Sublime! - Radical!

- Subliminal! - Divine!

- Bergmanesque!

- And the packaging?

- 'Clean Water Preserves Life.'

There! A phallic container.

- Ignazio? Any objections

on moral grounds?

- On the contrary.

It's in the Bible:

'Breed and multiply.'

- Censorship problems?

- If the Church agrees, none.

Chemical Industry Sector,

Group A. Social life.

In the last 3 weeks,

no disciplinary measures

taken against employees.

That is to say,

it wasn't necessary.

Our strict control has turned

discipline into a way of life.

- Really?

Do you know that reading is

prohibited during the break?

- Of course, and I can guarantee...

- Look.

That's not all.

Do you recognize these persons?

- If I am not mistaken,

employees of Nosferatu Contraceptives.

- You are not mistaken.

- But I cannot see...

Only procreation is prohibited

to the employees of Nosferatu,

not copulation.

On the contrary,

I think these photos

will make a fine

advertising campaign.

- And these?

You have not measured up

to your responsibilities.

I ask you to leave

this villa at once.

On foot!

Let the woman have an abortion

and her husband be sterilised.

Chemical Industry Sector,

Group A. Opening new markets.

Report on legalisation of drugs.

I am glad to report that

the opposition of Deputy Santamaria

to the law on the legalisation

of hallucinatory drugs

has been withdrawn.

He no longer objects.

- You had excellent results

in even more difficult cases.

- Well, it wasn't difficult.

Deputy Santamaria has his

soft spots like all the

protectors of public morals.

Pardon me, Your Eminence.

- Is that all?

- No. You have requested

a monthly donation of

- Very well.

- I beg your pardon.

- Yes?

- If I may impose,

If you could personally choose...

- Let's see them.

- Thank you!

'The screen lacerates itself

in every frame to disseminate

truth to the winds.'

Said by Jean-Luc Godard.

Permanent revolution, in the sense

attributed to it by Marx,

is revolution that is not reconciled

with any form of class domination;

that does not stop at the

democratic phase, but proceeds to

socialist measures and open war

against external reaction;

revolution of which every new phase

is contained, in seminal form,

in the previous phase;

revolution that stops only

with the total liquidation...

- No good.

'The essence of the comic

is imbibed with mother's milk.'

Said by Federico Fellini.

Daddy! Mommy!

'Murder, incest, rape will

only be punished among slaves.'

Said by the Marquis de Sade.

Enough!

I can't take it any more!

This is boring!

Give me a drink!

- We have just the thing!

- Really? What is it?!

- Shall we tell him?

- Yes!

- L-S-D!

- Finally in stores?!

- Of course!

Starting today,

in all Nosferatu supermarkets.

We're here!

With L-S-D!

Standard size

and family size bottle.

LSD is a product of

Nosferatu Pharmaceuticals,

a name that we trust.

Starting today, in all

Nosferatu supermarkets.

This is good.

Ignazio? Any objections

on moral grounds?

- No! Just a piece of advice.

When he whips her,

we could see a mirror reflection.

That would be very beautiful.

- Excellent idea.

Good night. See you.

- Have a good night's work, Engineer.

- Thank you, Corinna.

Please sit down, Dr. Valle.

Have a drink?

Don't you feel ridiculous?

The chemists' meeting upset you.

- You knew I was eavesdropping?

- If you become

part of my organisation,

you have to know it in depth.

- I want nothing to do

with your organisation.

I'm leaving.

- You cannot leave, Dr. Valle.

- No?

You said I was free

to choose what I liked.

WHEN you liked.

Not WHAT you liked.

- Look...

- Don't make me waste

more time, Dr. Valle.

- Are you afraid of time?

Or just the dawn, like vampires?

- In the XX Century,

you believe in vampires?

- Myths do not die,

they get transformed.

You told me that yourself.

You've changed faces, but you

go on drinking human blood.

- Finished?

- No.

I'll tell you what I'll do now.

- Drive a stake into my heart?

- I'll go to the newspapers.

To the police.

- Newspapers belong to me.

Police belongs to me.

- Then I will throw bombs
