Contest 2006
The Spot, directed by Stephen Gaghan:
We see a man in an open green field, sitting at a desk with an old-fashioned typewriter. The announcer says, "Blank. Nine dollars." Then, a gorgeous woman on a motorcycle rides into view. "Blank. Sixty dollars." The man seems happy and continues to type. "Blank. One hundred and ten dollars." Eventually, the man hops on the back of the bike and they zoom away, smiling, down an empty road together. "Blank," says the announcer. "Priceless."
