<Jackie> IN HERE!
<Digit> I THINK MY WING IS CRAMPED.
<Matt> WHOA!
INEZ!
<Hacker> AND ALL BECAUSE OF MY CHISELED MOVIE STAR CHIN.
UNEQUALED, UNMISTAKABLE, UNFORGETTABLE.
<Inez> WE'RE IN HACKER'S MOUTH!
<Matt> AND THERE'S THE VOICE BOX!
<Matt> NOW THAT SOUNDS GOOD!
<Buzz> BOSS, BOSS, PODDLEVILLE GAVE UP!
<Delete> YEAH!
AND R FAIR CITY'S THINKIN' ABOUT IT!
<Hacker> QUIET!
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
<Both> I DON'T HERE NUTHIN', BOSS.
YEAH, ME NEITHER.. <Hacker> THAT'S THE PROBLEM, YOU DUNCEBUCKETS!
MY VOICE HAS STOPPED BROADCASTING INTO CYBERSPACE!
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
<Delete> UMMM...CAN I ASK BUZZ?
<Hacker> GET THE CYBERSCOOTER!!!
<Both> OKAY!
YES, BOSS!
<Matt> AT LEAST WE DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO HACKER ANYMORE.
<Inez> YEAH, BUT WE'VE STILL GOT TO REMOVE THAT VOICE BOX!
<Matt> HOW?
WE CAN'T EVEN GET TO IT FROM HERE!
<Jackie> HEY, GUYS!
UP HERE!
<Digit> WE'RE IN THE HACKER'S NOSE!
<Jackie> EW!
DON'T REMIND ME.
<Digit> WAIT!
WHAT IF YOU LET OUT TOO MUCH ROPE?
THEN I'LL BE LASER-KABOB!
<Matt> TIME OUT!
WE BETTER MEASURE HOW LONG TO MAKE THE ROPE.
<Inez> LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE VOICE BOX IS THE SAME DISTANCE DOWN FROM THE CEILING AS IT IS UP FROM THE FLOOR.
<Matt> LET'S MAKE SURE.
<Matt> ONE THUMB WIDTH.
AND THAT'S ONE THUMB WIDTH AS WELL.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THE DISTANCE IS THE SAME!
<Inez> ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
WE HAVE NO WAY TO MEASURE HOW FAR THAT DISTANCE IS.
<Matt> OH, YES, WE DO.
THAT LADDER WENT RIGHT UP TO THE VOICE BOX!
<Jackie> BE CAREFUL, MATT!
<Inez> THAT'S TEN SKWAK LENGTHS.
<Matt> GOT IT!
<Inez> PLUS NINE... AND A BIT LEFT OVER.
<Digit> WHOA-OH...I DON'T WANNA BE LOWERED ONE FEATHER CLOSER TO THOSE LASERS THAN I HAVE TO!
EXACTLY HOW MUCH IS A LITTLE BIT'?
<Matt> UM...WE CAN'T TELL YOU.
THE SMALLEST UNIT WE CAN MEASURE EXACTLY IS A WHOLE SKWAK PAD.
<Inez> TOO BAD WE CAN'T JUST FOLD IT AND MAKE SMALLER UNITS.
<Matt> MAYBE WE CAN!
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS FOLD IT IN HALF ONCE ...TWICE... THEN A THIRD TIME.
<Inez> COOL!
A RULER MEASURING A HALF SKWAK, A QUARTER-SKWAK, AND AN EIGHTH-SKWAK!
<Jackie> I'M WITH YOU!
I MADE ONE TOO!
<Inez> THE LITTLE BIT EXTRA MEASURES OUT TO 3 ONE-EIGHTH SKWAK LENGTHS ON THE NOSE!
<Matt> SO THE LADDER IS NINETEEN AND THREE-EIGHTHS SKWAK LENGTHS LONG!
<Jackie> OKAY.
NINETEEN AND THREE EIGHTHS SKWAKS DOWN TO THE VOICE BOX BEFORE WE MEASURE THE ROPE WE BETTER MEASURE YOU SO WE CAN DETERMINE THE TOTAL LENGTH WE NEED.
THAT'S ONE!
THAT'S TWO!
<Hacker> I'LL FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE MYSELF!
<Jackie> DONE!
NINETEEN AND THREE EIGHTHS SKWAK LENGTHS OF ROPE - PLUS A LITTLE EXTRA FOR THE PART I'LL TIE TO THE VENT.
BEAK IT, DIDGE!
<Matt> HURRY!
<Jackie> ALL SET!
<Digit> GULP!
BIRDS AWAAAAY!
<Matt> YEAH!
WE DID IT!
GOOD MEASURING, NEZZIE!
THAT ROPE WAS JUST THE RIGHT LENGTH.
<Hacker> YOU!
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN!
<Matt> WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT?
<Hacker> SO, YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD SILENCE ME, DID YOU?
<Digit> PULL ME UP, JAX!
YOIKES!
AHHHHHH!
<Kids> DI-GIIIIIT!
<Hacker> YOU THINK I HAVE ONLY ONE TAPE, YOU INSOLENT EARTH WORMS?!
NOW, AS MY PRISONERS, YOU WILL WITNESS ALL OF CYBERSPACE SURRENDERING TO THE SOUND OF MY VICTORIOUS VOICE!
<Jackie> NO WAY, HACKER!
AH-OH-AHHHHHH...
THIS WAY!
<Matt> UH-OH!
UP, UP AND AWAY!
<Hacker> NO ONE DEFEATS THE HACKER, ESPECIALLY THOSE KIDS!
<Jackie> I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FAILED!
THIS IS TERRIBLE.
<Digit> CHILL, EARTHLIES!
WHEN HACKER PLAYS THAT NEW TAPE OF HIS, HE'S GONNA FIND THINGS ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT LOUDER.
CHECK THAT, MAKE IT A LOT LOUDER!
<Buzz> GET 'EM!
<Hacker> CITIZENS OF CYBERSPACE, YOU'RE LISTENING TO ALL-HACKER ALL THE TIME!
<All> AHHHHHH!
<Inez> MOTHERBOARDE'S TIMING COULDN'T BE BETTER!
<Matt> AND IT LOOKS LIKE HACKER'S PLAN ISN'T GOING TO MEASURE UP AFTER ALL!
<Hacker> THOSE KIDS'LL PAY FOR THIS!
