First TV Work for SBC Service

She’s an attractive blonde who rattles off her telephone number to her seatmate as they step off a plane. He’s a pudgy geek who can’t believe his good luck in obtaining her number. The only question is: Will he remember it?

An amusing race against time follows in this first ad in a series of TV spots from GSD&M for SBC Communications’ directory-assistance service. As the young man sets off on a desperate search for pen and paper, his chanting of the woman’s number is interrupted by flight numbers, public address system announcements and a waitress calling out an order.
