Brainstorm Page #3

Synopsis: Brilliant researchers Lillian Reynolds and Michael Brace have developed a system of recording and playing back actual experiences of people. Once the capability of tapping into "higher brain functions" is added in, and you can literally jump into someone else's head and play back recordings of what he or she was thinking, feeling, seeing, etc., at the time of the recording, the applications for the project quickly spiral out of control. While Michael Brace uses the system to become close again to Karen Brace, his estranged wife who also works on the project, others start abusing it for intense sexual experiences and other logical but morally questionable purposes. The government tries to kick Michael and Lillian off the project once the vast military potential of the technology is discovered. It soon becomes obvious that the government is interested in more than just missile guidance systems. The lab starts producing mind torture recordings and other psychosis inducing material. When o

Hang on, Gordy!

Come on, Gordy!

Way to go!

Oh, God!

That's remarkable.

A true, one-of-a-kind

scientific breakthrough.

Oh, God! Wonderful!

We'll have to tell the division heads.

And Karen, you think we can modify it

and simplify it even a little more?

- Yes. That's already in the works.

- Good.

We'll need to make a demo tape.

We want to show the potential...

...for travel and education and news.

Can we do it in the conference room?

We could pump right through the phone.

Excellent. And thank you all.

You've blown communication...

...as we've known it, right out of the water.

You know that, don't you?

And I'm very proud of all of you.

You blew my socks off!

I think he likes it.

All right!

It's great.

Really?

It's great.

Good.

I'm glad you like it.

You know...

...we never worked together before.

I always tried to avoid that, you know.

Sorry about that, ladies.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Well?

So tell me about it.

It's the damnedest thing I've ever felt.

Knocked my socks off.

What was it like?

Like you were there.

Taste, smell, everything.

Incredible.

I even feel like I just ate.

What about military applications?

It's wide open.

Missile guidance? That kind of thing?

Jim, they're gonna be able to plug

right into the old noodle.

- This is for us?

- Just us.

Just you, just me.

Just for us.

- Congratulations, you guys.

- Thank you.

This is great.

I've never had so many people

want to talk to me before in my life.

That's cause you're famous.

Oh, God! You love it!

I do.

You're good-lookin', too.

Hey, get me a light, will ya?

- Can I borrow that?

- Sure. Here.

You smoke too much.

I know I do.

- How you doin'?

- We're doing fine.

Listen, I've got some people I want you

to meet... upstairs in a few minutes, okay?

You're my stars. I want to show you off.

I'll have Hal come back and get you.

Don't disappoint me.

A few people upstairs. That's it. That's it!

- Barry, I'd love some more white wine.

- Sure.

I'll call you tomorrow, Wendy.

- You look nice.

- Thank you.

Thanks.

Why do you still see him?

Because he's a perfectly wonderful,

thoughtful, uncreative guy.

Congratulations, Michael.

You must be proud to be married

to such a brilliant man.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

He never spoke to me before.

It's good to see you

enjoying yourself so much.

For you.

I'll see you later, upstairs.

This is the result of teamwork, gentlemen.

A group of...

...brilliant, creative scientists cocoon

for ten years in a laboratory without...

...outside intervention.

My job has been to protect

that environment.

That lab is sacred ground.

And, with due respect to you all...

...I don't want to muddy it with any boots
