Plot: In the not-distant-future, the market has taken over everything, thanks to the marketers. The consumer is king, and those who see value outside of the marketplace are "enemies of the consumer", terrorists, and "partisan" enemies that the state must dispose of. Protagonist Jack seems to be at one with the media corporations (after all, his marketing ideas led to the institutionalization of the exchange of sex for enhanced buying power), but is he somehow involved with the feeble and pathetic resistance movement? Does he love Cecile, his colleague, or is she a pawn in his game? And what of the mysterious girl from Monday? Are immigrants from the star system "Monday" really assisting the partisans?

Quotes:

Cecile: The feeling is the whole approach could be more, well, sexy. Much more provocative.::Jack: The children's wear account...::Abercrombie: Kids and not just children Jack, they're consumers.

Jack: There was a dictatorship of the consumer now. What most people wanted most of the time, and were willing to pay for, was good. Whatever defied the logic of the market was bad. Automatic world. Disposable income was the chief revolutionary virtue. Everyone had what they wanted, always. As long as they did their part and threw themselves, body and soul, towards the aim of economic supremacy.

Jack: Acts of love, charity, and eroticism for their own sake were soon seen as perverse self-indulgences. Inhumane, uncivilized, barbaric.

Cecile: People have to *want* to have heart surgery, whether they need it or not.

Judge: You are sentenced to two years hard labor - teaching high school.

[first lines]::Jack: It's such a long way down, it's strange. The word becomes - flesh? The body remains... what? She had traveled light years to get here. And in the vaporous fields of her home star no one had bodies, or names, or identity. A living thought or feeling, stretching out in all directions. Not measured but desired, elegant. But here, in the flesh, the revolution had come.

Adjuster: [after much typing and beeps] I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this Mr. Bell, but with such a narrow band of sexual activity, even with your position with the agency, your consumer potential is figured to be *very* low. Which of course means an increase in your premium.

Jack: It was a culture of desire. You had to want in order to be wanted. And you had to be wanted in order to survive.

Jack: What do you call yourself?::The Girl From Monday: Nobody.

Jack: Because of the high incidence of handgun-related violence in school, only convicts were assigned teaching positions.

Quotes:

The Blue Raja: May the forks be with us.

Mr. Furious: I don't need a compass to know which way the wind shines.

The Sphinx: We are number one. All others are number two, or lower.

Blue Raja's mother: [the Blue Raja's mom walks in on him, in full costume, rummaging through her silverware drawer] Jeffrey, what are you doing?::The Blue Raja: Um, I was just, um, uh, um, I'm, uh...::[shifts to British accent]::The Blue Raja: I'm a superhero, mother.::Blue Raja's mother: A superhero?::The Blue Raja: An effete British superhero, to be precise. I am pilfering your tableware because I hurl it. I hurl it with a deadly accuracy. The Blue Raja is my name. And yes, I know I don't wear much blue and I speak in a British accent, but if you know your history it really does make perfect sense.

Dr. Heller: That's a high-temperature fabric adhesive liquid projector, based on simple dry-cleaning technology. You aim that at a guy, and I'll tell you something: his clothes get so tight he can't even breathe.

Casanova Frankenstein: A fish-fork is no match for my machine!

Casanova Frankenstein: I have created a beautiful machine that is going to encourage our fellow citizens to share my vision of the future! Can you dig it?

The Blue Raja: I better get going. I've got a city to save.::Blue Raja's mother: Jeffrey? Do the accent.::The Blue Raja: Uh, well... [shifts to British accent] Well, I'd love to stay and chit-chat, Mother, but I fear I must away with me - our metropolis is in the clutches of madmen!::Blue Raja's mother: Jeff?::The Blue Raja: Yeah?::Blue Raja's mother: Cheerio.::The Blue Raja: Thanks, Mom.

Monica: I don't find you threatening.::Mr. Furious: Oh! Well, you're very, uh... you're very, uh... kind.::Monica: At all.

The Shoveller: We're not your classic heros. We're the other guys.

Plot: After being ditched by her cameraman because of her manipulative behavior at a murder scene, a reporter wanders through town looking for a phone she can use. She finds a small museum, where the proprietor invites her in to have a look around before leaving. In one room, she encounters a strange jar which causes her to have strange visions, visions that are suppoedly drawn from her own mind. These 'visions' make up the rest of this four- part anthology, which includes horror and suspense stories about a junkie chasing a dog for his runaway fix, a pizza delivery boy who gets a Halloween surprise, a living but paralyzed OD victim forced to undergo her own autopsy because everyone thinks she's dead, and a deal between a golf course owner and a gravedigger that has some unexpected consequences.

Quotes:

Dr. Borges: Society.

Shan: The body count here tonight. 35 dead, including 5 theatre employees, 35 others wounded, most of them in critical condition. There are reports that the boy identified as the killer, Fidge De Sola, seen here in the V.C. High yearbook, had recently been fired from his job as an usher at this theatre, after having a fight with another employee over a girl. Fidge De Sola used guns from his father's collection of Vietnam weaponry. The last victim was the killer himself. He died by his own hand. This reporter was called by the alleged killer earlier this evening. He told me that, in his words, 'something special was going to happen here this evening.' We were here when the shooting began. Those guns turned him from an anonymous lonely teenager, to a mass murderer. Why? Is it something in our nature? A monstrous genetic defect in the human animal? Something inside us all? Not a freak of nature, but a freak by nature. This is Shannon Nichols for KLME Live Eye Reporter.

Dr. Borges: Technology. We thought it was man's new best friend, but with it came its garbage, its pollution, its poisons, its new attitudes.

Dr. Borges: In a world where junkies roam the street living on dope and garbage, where obsessions and greed have replaced compassion, my collection is a very little attraction.

Byrd: Crash and burn, girls never learn.
