:46:01
Advertising conspires
with Big Brother.

:46:03
And you're afraid
of Big Brother?

:46:06
Someone or something
coming into your life...

:46:09
and telling you what to do?
:46:11
No. I'm not afraid of him. I'm one
of the few who really understands him.

:46:15
Oh?
:46:17
The man who conceived of Big Brother
never knew what was coming.

:46:21
Thought his filthy creation
was gonna be watching us.

:46:23
But it is us who watch it.
There's one in every living room.

:46:27
The monstrous injustice of it is.
We stare at it of our own free will.

:46:31
So we could say, principally,
that it's television you blame?

:46:35
We can say entirely it is the crooks
who've infiltrated it that I blame.

:46:39
They've moved in on the greatest
means of communication since the wheel.

:46:42
And now they've done it,
their greed is insatiable.

:46:45
They're cutting down jungles
to breed hamburgers,

:46:47
turning the whole worid
into a car park.

:46:50
They'd sell off the sea to satisfy
the needs of their great god Greed.

:46:53
They won't be satisfied,
not till we're all squating...

:46:56
in one of its fucking hatchbacks
on a motorway.

:46:59
There isn't going to be
anywhere left to go...

:47:01
except in slow revolutions toward
the crest of the next slag heap.

:47:04
Do you have trouble
in getting an erection?

:47:06
- What?
- Can you get an erection?

:47:09
- Yes!
- Masturbating much?

:47:11
Constantly! I've got
a talking boil on my neck!

:47:14
What would you do?
:47:16
What does this mean to you?
:47:20
"Are you ashamed
of your false teeth?

:47:23
"Put an end to the miseries
of dentures.

:47:26
"You could smile again
with confidence.

:47:28
Just ask Barbara Simmons."
:47:30
The boil said it a few nights ago.
Sounds like a crude voiceover.

:47:35
- Voiceover?
- A voice that sells.

:47:37
If you're selling perfume,
it sounds like a lover.

:47:40
If you're selling something
inedible you want people to eat,

:47:43
it'll sound as stupid
as they'll have to be to buy it.

:47:46
In this case, it would sound
like a dentist, someone in the know.

:47:48
I see. So one could say that it's,
um, the voice of authority?

:47:52
Like a parent's voice?
:47:54
If you like.
:47:56
Has the boil
spoken this morning?

:47:59
Yes, I had a row with it, and it got
very heated when I refused to shave.
