[SCENE: An office. Hendrickson is seated at his computer terminal reading the latest issue of US Weekly.]
Announcer (VO): Are your employees constantly letting you down?
[Mr. Ritzbitz approaches Hendrickson, one of his employees.]
Mr. Ritzbitz: Hendrickson, did you finish that portfolio for today?
[Hendrickson looks up from his magazine.]
Hendrickson: Oh, no. Sorry, sir. I'm still working on it.
Mr. Ritzbitz: [annoyed] Well, when can you have it done? Before five?
Hendrickson: [energetically] Sure! [pause] Oh, wait, you mean before five today?
Mr. Ritzbitz: Yes.
Hendrickson: [condescendingly] Yeah, that isn't going to work for me. I'll need until next Tuesday.
Mr. Ritzbitz: [shocked] Next Tuesday? You need a whole extra week?!
Hendrickson: Yeah, I'm a little behind.
Mr. Ritzbitz: [shouting in frustration] Arrrggh!
Announcer (VO): Not to worry, boss-man, because your problems are now solved! And all it takes are two simple words! Watch!
[SCENE: Hendrickson is standing in Mr. Ritzbitz's office.]
Hendrickson: [shaking his head] I didn't finish it, Mr. Ritzbitz. The Mexican online poker tournament really ate up my time and I completely forgot about the portfolio. But, don't worry, I'll get it done eventually.
Mr. Ritzbitz: [calmly] Hendrickson, you are going to finish that report for me by 8AM tomorrow...or else!
[The smug look on Hendrickson's face disappears and is replaced with a frightened expression]
Hendrickson: [terrified] Y--Y-yes, sir. Right away sir!
[Mr. Ritzbitz smiles happily]
Announcer (VO): "...Or Else!" can work in any situation, including with children! Take a look!
[SCENE: Mrs. Powell's home living room. Her two young children, both boys, are acting out and ignoring her pleas to calm down]
Mrs. Powell: (frustrated) Arggh! I give up! I want you two to remember that you drove me to this!
[Mrs. Powell pauses and takes a deep breath]
Mrs. Powell: [calmly] Boys, clean up your room...or else!
[The boys stop dead in their tracks and then quickly run to their room without saying a word.]
Mrs. Powell: [smiling] Yeah, that's great.
[Cut to a graphic of "...Or Else!" with ordering information and a phone number]
