          Feet running, fast, as we pull back. We see that it is not a person but a brain, running fast. The brain-runner enters a parking lot for an office, then enters the office, going up the stairs. A man exits his cubicle as the brain/information/intelligence arrives.

          Two buildings. We cut into both offices in a split-screen format. Two men, almost identical, work at their desks. The man on the left opens a drawer and pulls out the 'Nowledge' card. Instantly, the competition's desk flips over on him. "Out perform your competition." *'Nowledge' was part of the campaign. It's the idea of instant knowledge, knowledge now, nowledge.
