Yes, Pulitzer Prize–winning David Mamet has directed TWO commercials for Ford. Car commercials? Car commercials. Mamet only directed the commercials. The "dialogue" was apparently written in Mamet's trademark style by an ad agency. Watch them at your own peril:...

Macy, are in a Ford Whateverthefuck. Their hands and shirts are covered in blood. Baldwin is driving. He is trying to beat a stoplight; at the last second it turns red and Baldwin slams on the breaks.)


Baldwin: Fuck.


Macy: Fuck?


B: You heard me.


M: (understanding) Fuck.


B: This car can go faster than a ten-dollar hooker working outside a donut shop.


M: (impressed) Fuck.


B: But, as you can see, it can stop on a dime, too. A--no, not a dime. A nickel. Two pence. A farthing.


M: A farthing. (pause) The fuck's a farthing?


B: Some cocksuckers at Car and Driver tested it; they say it holds up pretty well.


M: (looks at his hands) Just like my poor mother's heart.


B: True story.
