"This is our second pop video that we ever did." "It was a commission coming from a young boy from Detroit who..." "His name was Warren, but he called his name..." "called himself His Name ls Alive." "And originally he asked permission to use sequences from Crocodiles," "and we sort of frowned on that and said, well, we thought it would be better if we did something original," "and just begin from scratch." "And this was done for 4AD, and they agreed, and so we gave him and 4AD" "an image from a book, an anonymous book of photography." "And it was an image of a girl standing in front of a door with a paddle, and the paddle had the... behind her, had a white doorknob," "and we mistook the white doorknob for a Ping-Pong ball, and so hence that's how we made the connection with this little game of Ping-Pong." "We should open up a little parenthesis about one of our..." "The one and only collaborator we really do have on these... the making of these films, is lan Nicholas, who is a kind of..."

"And for instance, these shoes, these little socks - he came up with the idea of somehow employing little yoghurt... plastic... not tins, but plastic cartons, and that's how the little girl's feet were hinged." "We found the little girl in Amsterdam after completing an opera, and we brought her back to London." "And there was one thing that we wrote about these Stille Nacht films - that they were all outside commissions," "except for Stille Nacht III, which was for ourselves." "But they were an ongoing suite of films made in black and white, and all subtly engaged in selling some useless object as a form of symbolic salesmanship." "ln every case the worst product was given a mysterious allure." "Stille Nacht I was selling an unidentified brand of steel wool." "Stille Nacht II was an elaborate disguise for selling a particularly dreadful kind of Ping-Pong ball, or conversely, socks with a single vocation in life!" "And Stille Nacht III pandered to the few who craved pre-anamorphosised reindeer dining tables with a bullet already fixed in one testicle." "Of course, none of this is really apparent, but it gave us both the sublime belief that no-one was looking."
