Commercial Break
Great Hall of X Marks the Scot
We hear a voice from down a hallway. “Arlen, do you have the figures for the budget yet?”
A man with close-cropped hair comes running down the hall with a notebook.
Form the other end of the hall we hear another voice. “Arlen, I need that book on pre-Roman highland culture.”
Another voice calls out. “Arlen, do you have that information on the fabled stinging butterfly yet.”
Yet another voice calls out. “Arlen, I need the comparative analysis of the schemes of the different Bond villains now.”
The man looks completely harried from all the different requests, and looks like he doesn’t know which way to turn.
We hear the narrator’s voice. “Have you ever felt this way? Do you have so many requests for information that you can’t keep up? We have a way to help.”
The scene changes to a close-up of a handheld computer.
The narrator continues. “The new Intelli-Quest from Freelander Electronics allows you to access your records from anywhere in your office. Its wireless interface connects to your office network from anywhere in the building and displays the response to your query on the handheld screen. No longer do you have to leave that important meeting to return to your office, simply because you forgot something, or your boss asks for something you didn’t anticipate.”
The scene changes back to the man in the hallway and we hear another voice. “Arlen, where is that treatise on medieval Scottish music?”
The man pulls out his Intelli-Quest and punches in a query. A few seconds later, he calls out, “Right here, sir.”
The scene changes back to a close-up of the handheld.
The narrator speaks. “The Intelli-Quest from Freelander Electronics, all your information at your fingertips, always.”
