[Soft piano music is playing.  The screen slowly fades from black,
reveals a person sitting staring at an answering machine on a table.
Camera slowly circles this person.]

[Voiceover: In a deep, sincere voice]

Do you find yourself sitting near your answering machine or mailbox,
Doing absolutely nothing?  Have you ever phoned your answering
machine from a pay phone just to see what it feels like to get
a message?  Then you need FRENDZ.

[cut to announcer.  piano music continues to play]

FRENDZ is an automated message service.  For a small monthly fee, FRENDZ
will send you three messages a day.  Not just any messages, but
highly complementary messages relevant to your life.  Why would
we go to such lengths?  Because we're FRENDZ.

[piano music still plays.  Screen fades to black, then comes
back with the smiling face of a happy client near answering machine]

	I used to be worthless, always down in the dumps.  My work
	habits were pitiful.  But I got my life back on track
	because of FRENDZ.

[another happy client - this one near corporate mailbox. secretary
is putting mail in cubicles.  client has coffee mug with him]

	My days used to be nothing, mundane.  I just didn't have
	any excitement in my life.  FRENDZ changed all that.
	I'm now a productive, happy person, not to mention
	vice-president of a very large company.
[secretary hands mail to client]
	Thank you, FRENDZ.
[fades back to announcer]

Now you, too, can experience the companionship of FRENDZ.  It's easy.
Just call this 1-900 number, and our operators will take down
the information we need to get you on track within a week.  And,
if you order now, you can have FRENDZ for as little as $5.00 a month.
It pays to have FRENDZ.  Just ask Jimmy.

[fades back to original person, who turns from their monitor
to face the camera, a big smile on their face]

	That's right.  I'm sure glad that I have FRENDZ.
