Holy cheeseballs, Batman. I never recap commercials, but I would be derelict in my duties, were I to overlook this one. Shot in black and white, we open on Brad Pitt, who had been on my mind all weekend because I'd just watched both Thor and The Avengers for the first time (and second third and fourth times, because...THOR), and I kept thinking how Chris Hemsworth would resemble Brad Pitt, were only Pitt a big hunk of manly man. Anyhow, Pitt's standing in front of a wall that someone spent too much time sponge painting, considering we can't even see the colors.
PITT: It's not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on.
RECAPPER'S HUSBAND: What the... (he looks around the room and realizes our three children are present) What is this?
RECAPPER: (Pausing the DVR) Shh. I want to hear it.
RECAPPER'S OLDEST SON: Is he that actor who's a Scientologist?
RECAPPER: Shh. No. Now let me rewind and start it, again.
PITT: It's not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on.
RUPERT GILES: It's all about the journey. Isn't it?
RECAPPER: All right, all voices in the room, including those in my head, need to cease. I have to know what this is.
PITT: It's not a journey. Every journey ends, but we go on. (He looks down, then up, then off to his left.) The world turns and we turn with it.
RECAPPER'S OLDEST SON: Are you sure he's not the Scientologist?
RECAPPER: Yes. You're thinking of Tom Cruise. Or John Travolta. This is Brad Pitt. Hush now.
