Contractual Obligations

Commercial

INT - Living Room

A family, a DAD, MOM, SON, and DAUGHTER, are all huddled around a board game, each with a small legal pad.

Son: Dad, you owe me $35,000 dollars, no more than 42.5% of which is to come out of stock options over the the course of the next 18 months!

Dad: Whoa, there, son. I think you're forgetting that you owe your sister the land rights to your Oak Ridge commercial developments.

Daughter: I'm going to put up a mall!

Mom: We're all going to open up malls-- malls with multiple lines of credit availale to low-income youth.

Dad: Wait just a minute, what about middle class kids, who are at risk nonetheless from external pressures?

Mom: Don't worry about that, I'm not going to give back to the community.

Announcer (voice over): It's "Contractual Obligations," the new game that's thrilling kids across the country.

The son flips over a card.

Son: I got approved for a limited Chapter 7 liquidation! Guess I'm keeping Oak Ridge, sis'!

Daughter: Mom! He's cheating, he has to pay me!

Mom: Now, now. It's not cheating if it's governmentally approved.

Dad: Sort of like how we could afford this game. You can thank your "other" brother for helping us out on our tax credits this year.

They all laugh.

Announcer: "Contractual Obligations," available wherever fine games are sold, leased, or rent-to-owned with a no-money-down, deposit free sign up. Some credit checks may be required.
