Everybody, Navin's on TV.
Marie, it's Navin!.

:30:15
Look, honey,
here's that interview you did on TV.

:30:18
Shut off the music!.
:30:21
Everyone, we're going to watch Navin
on the TV.

:30:24
Sit down, sit down.
On the floor. Sit around.

:30:27
American Time news magazine
turns its probing eye...

:30:30
...on Navin Johnson,
the inventor ofthe Opti-Grab...

:30:33
...that little glasses handle that sold
10 million units in a few short months.

:30:38
Mr. Johnson, you've become
a millionaire overnight. Who are you?

:30:44
Who is Navin Johnson?
:30:47
Navin is a complex personality,
as are most ofthe...

:30:51
...small breed of modern-day
renaissance millionaires.

:30:55
We hadplanned to show you
the entire Johnson interview.

:30:58
However, when we returned to our studio,
our news department informed us...

:31:02
...ofa sensational development
in the Johnson story.

:31:05
It seems that an irate group of citizens...
:31:08
...led by the celebrity, Mr. Carl Reiner...
:31:10
...has fiiled a class action suit
against Mr. Johnson and his Opti-Grab.

:31:15
Here's what Mr. Reiner had to say
at a press conference:

:31:18
When Opti-Grab came out
l thought it was the greatest thing ever.

:31:21
And l bought a pair. And this is the result.
:31:26
This little handle is like a magnet.
Your eyes are drawn to it...

:31:30
...and you end up cockeyed.
:31:32
Now, as a director,
l am constantly using my eyes...

:31:36
...and this Opti-Grab device
has caused irreparable harm to my career.

:31:40
Let me show you a clip
from my latest fiilm...

:31:42
...where my faulty depth perception kept
me from yelling "cut" at the right time.

:31:50
Cut!
:31:59
Ifl had yelled "cut" on time,
those actors would be alive today.
