Ms. Fileshare: THE CYBRARY IS THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW!
THE HOUSE OF WISDOM, I LIKE TO CALL IT.
AND I LIKE MY HOUSE CLEAN.
CLEAN, TIDY AND SPOTLESS!
THAT MEANS NO BUGS.
Vermin-vexor: WHAT YOU NEED IS A PROFESSIONAL EXTERMINATOR, MS. FILESHARE.
AND THAT PROFESSIONAL IS YOURS TRULY, THE VERMIN-VEXOR!
(BEEP) OH, DEAR, I'M NEEDED IN MYTHOLOGY!
YOU HAVE THIRTY SECONDS TO CONVINCE ME.
GO!
Vermin-vexor: THESE ARE BUG CHARTS, MS. FILESHARE.
MINE AND THE OTHER GUY WHO WANTS THE JOB!
LOOK AT THESE BARS.
YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL I GOT RID OF A LOT MORE BUGS THAN HE DID LAST YEAR!
WELL, STACK MY SHELVES!
THAT IS A LOT MORE!
ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHO TO HIRE?
THE JOB'S YOURS, MR. VERMIN-VEXOR!
START SPRAYIN'!
GOTTA BOOK.
Buzz: WE'RE IN, BOSS!
Delete: YOUR PLAN WORKED!
I AM GOOD, AREN'T I?
(LAUGHS) WE'LL BEGIN HERE IN THE HISTORY SECTION.
RELEASE THE VERMIN!
Delete: YEOW!
N-N-NICE VERMIN.
Hacker: AH, YES!
MS. FILESHARE IS SO BUSY SHE WON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL IT'S MUCH TOO LATE!
(LAUGHS) (SIGH) UH DEEDEE?
WHAT?
WOO-HOO!
YIKES!
Hacker: WHOA!
WHOA!
BOTH: BOSS!
OH BOY.
Buzz: BOSS!
BOSS!
BOSS?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
Hacker: BOSS?
WHO ARE YOU?
Delete: HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO WE ARE.
Buzz: GEE, IF HE'S LOST HIS MEMORY THEN... THEN HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS, EITHER.
(REALIZING) Matt: ACCORDING TO ROMAN LEGEND, ROMULUS WAS THE FOUNDER OF ROME, AND REMUS WAS HIS TWIN BROTHER.
BUT WHEN THEY WERE SMALL CHILDREN, THEY WERE RAISED BY A WOLF WHO LOOKED AFTER THEM AND FED THEM.
Ms. Fileshare: I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT YOU COULD JOIN US FOR SHARE-A-STORY TIME.
TALL TALES, LEGENDS, MYTHS, ANY KIND OF STORY...
KIDS JUST LOVE 'EM!
Inez: MOTHERBOARD SAID YOU COULD USE SOME HELP.
Jackie: THAT'S WHY WE VOLUNTEERED.
I LOVE TO READ THE STORIES MYSELF, BUT SOMETIMES I JUST- (BEEPS) NOW THEY NEED ME IN SCIENCE AND STILL SO MUCH TO BE DONE.
Jackie: DON'T WORRY, MS. FILESHARE, WE'LL GIVE YOU A HAND.
Ms. Fileshare: IF YOU NEED ME, I'LL BE WORKING HERE-HERE-HERE-AND-HERE.
I'M ON THE MOVE, IN THE GROOVE!
THANKS, GIRLS.
Inez: MAN, LOOK AT ALL THIS STUFF THAT GETS CHECKED OUT AND RETURNED.
Jackie: DISKS.
MEMORY CHIPS.
WOW!
EVEN BOOKS!
OLD SCHOOL, BUT STILL COOL!
HEY, WHERE'S DIGIT?
WASN'T HE SUPPOSED TO MEET US HERE?
Digit: SORRY I'M LATE, EARTHLIES!
I TOOK THE WRONG PORTAL.
Matt: NOT AGAIN.
DIDGE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK ON YOUR NAVIGATION TECHNIQUES.
Buzz: AFTER THIS, I WANT MY COMIC BOOK READ TO ME.
THEN THE BATHROOM NEEDS CLEANING!
IS THAT CLEAR?!
I HEAR YOU, BOSS.
HOW ABOUT LUNCH?
Buzz: OH, YEAH.
I WANT THAT TOO.
BUT WASH YOUR HANDS FIRST!
Delete: YOUR PLAN TO GIVE HACKER A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE...
WORKED!
Buzz: YEAH!
HE THINKS HE WORKS FOR ME!
OH...
SO... UM, WHO AM I WORKING FOR?
ME!
WHO ELSE?
Jackie: TRAVEL BOOKS SHAPED LIKE CYBERSITES!
THIS IS TOTALLY COOL!
SOLARIA, HMMM... WHERE DO I PUT YOU?
Digit: SHEESH!
I NEED FOUR MORE WINGS TO KEEP UP WITH THIS THING!
OOPS!
YOIKES!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
NOW THAT BUZZ IS BOSS, THINGS ARE WORSE, NOT BETTER!
WHERE'S MY LUNCH?
HERE YOU GO, BOSS.
HEY, I ASKED FOR A DOZEN DONUTS--NOT TWELVE!
BUT A DOZEN DONUTS IS TWELVE!
OH.
WELL THEN GET ME TWO DOZEN!
AND MAKE IT SNAPPY!
OH, THIS IS TERRIBLE.
I MISS THE OLD BUZZ.
HE WAS THE BESTEST PAL THAT EVER WAS.
I JUST WANT THINGS TO GO BACK THE WAY THEY WERE.
EARTH KIDS?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?
WAIT!
THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA HOW TO GET MY BUZZY BACK!
Digit: MATTSTER!
GOOD THING I FOUND YOU!
YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!
Jackie: GUYS!
WAIT'LL YOU HEAR WHAT I SAW!
Inez: HEY!
CHECK THIS OUT!
THE BIG BOOK OF QUOTES!
THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME IN HERE I DON'T KNOW!
FUNNY.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA SAY YOU SAW A BUG LIKE I DID.
SAME HERE!
BUGS IN THE CYBRARY?
THAT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD.
Delete: STUDY YOUR HISTORY, KIDDIES.
Inez: WHO SAID THAT?
Delete: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
JUST STUDY YOUR HISTORY OR THE CYBRARY WILL HAVE NO FUTURE!
Matt: SOMETHING REALLY WEIRD IS HAPPENING.
Digit: HUH!
NOBODY HERE.
Inez: BUT I HEARD A SQUEAKY VOICE.
Matt: ME TOO!
Jackie: MAYBE SOMEONE'S TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING.
BUT WHAT?
WHY?
Inez: THERE HE IS!
Matt: LET'S CORNER HIM.
SPREAD OUT!
Jackie: EXCUSE ME!
OOF!
Jackie: SQUEAKY THROAT GOT AWAY!
Matt: WHAT DO YOU THINK HE MEANT, "STUDY YOUR HISTORY OR THE CYBRARY WILL HAVE NO FUTURE?"
Inez: MAYBE HE MEANT HISTORY, LIKE IN THE HISTORY SECTION.
LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Matt: NICE BEAK.
Jackie: LET'S GO.
(GROAN) EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
Kids: UHHH!
Digit: WHOA!
BREAK OUT THE BUG SPRAY!
EW EW!
AND DOUBLE EW!
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT THIS MUST BE WHAT SQUEAKY WAS TRYING TO TELL US!
WHOA!
Jackie: WE BETTER TELL MS. FILESHARE!
Inez: SHE'S IN THE REFERENCE SECTION.
Digit: I'LL CHECK FOR MORE BUGS!
Inez: LET'S GO!
Ms. Fileshare: HERE IN REFERENCE, WE HAVE ALL THE CURRENT NEWS AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF CYBERSPACE.
Kids: MS. FILESHARE!
MS. FILESHARE!
Matt: YOUR CYBRARY HAS BUGS!
Ms. Fileshare: EXCUSE ME FOR A MOMENT.
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT BUGS?
I HIRED AN EXTERMINATOR JUST THIS MORNING.
Inez: WELL, HE DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB.
MEANING WHAT?
MEANING, WE SAW A WHOLE BUNCH OF BUGS IN THE HISTORY SECTION.
YEAH!
I FOUND THREE IN SCIENCE!
Matt: AND DIGIT SAW ONE IN MATH!
Inez: AND THERE COULD DOZENS MORE!
OH!
MY PAGER, MY BEEPER, MY PHONE!
MY OPERATING SYSTEM IS ON OVERLOAD!
IF THERE'S A BUG PROBLEM YOU NEED TO SHOW ME, NOT TELL ME!
I HAVE A TOUR TO FINISH... AND SO MUCH MORE TO DO.
WELL, WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
OKAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW?
SQUEAKY, WHOEVER THAT IS, SAID THE CYBRARY HAS NO FUTURE.
THEN LED US HERE TO ALL THESE BUGS.
RIGHT.
BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO SHOW MS. FILESHARE SHE HAS A BUG PROBLEM, IF SHE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO SEE THE BUGS FOR HERSELF?
I COUNTED FOURTEEN RIGHT HERE IN THE HISTORY SECTION.
COMPARED TO THE OTHER SECTIONS, THIS ONE IS A DISASTER!
Jackie: COMPARE!
THAT'S IT!
IF WE SHOW HER A COMPARISON OF THE BUGS WE FOUND IN EACH SECTION, THAT SHOULD GET HER ATTENTION!
YEAH!
BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO IT FAST OR THOSE BUGS WILL EAT EVERYTHING IN THE CYBRARY.
Digit: BAD NEWS, EARTHLIES!
I JUST FOUND ANOTHER BUG.
THIS ONE IN THE TRAVEL SECTION!
Jackie: THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE!
NO KIDDING!
BETWEEN LOOKIN' FOR BUGS AND WORKIN', I'M POOPED!
SEE THOSE FOUR CYBRARY CARTS?
THAT'S HOW MANY CARTS OF STUFF I'VE SHELVED TODAY!
AND THAT'S JUST ME.
YOU GIRLS HAVE EACH DONE ONE.
AND MATTSTER, YOU'VE DONE TWO.
Inez: DIGIT, YOU'RE A GENIUS!
I AM?
OH, YEAH, I FORGOT.
WHAT DID I DO?
Inez: YOU JUST SHOWED US HOW TO MAKE A VISUAL COMPARISON FOR MS. FILESHARE!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A BUG CHART.
A REAL LIVE BAR GRAPH!
A VISUAL COMPARISON OF HOW MANY BUGS WE SAW!
ONE BUG IN SCIENCE, THREE IN MATH, ONE IN TRAVEL AND A WHOPPING FOURTEEN IN HISTORY!
Digit: TOO BAD WE CAN'T TAKE THE GRAPH WITH US TO SHOW MS. FILESHARE.
Inez: WE CAN!
I'VE MADE A SMALLER VERSION THAT'S PORTABLE AND EASY TO READ.
LET'S FIND MS. FILESHARE!
Jackie: WHERE IS SHE?
SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE IN THE SORTING SECTION.
Ms. Fileshare: I AM IN THE SORTING SECTION.
WE'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.
I ONLY HAVE THIRTY SECONDS TO SPARE!
PLEASE HURRY.
WE'VE MADE A BAR GRAPH THAT SHOWS HOW MANY BUGS WE FOUND IN FOUR SECTIONS OF THE CYBRARY.
THESE LABELS LET YOU SEE RIGHT AWAY WHAT SECTIONS EACH BAR STANDS FOR.
SCIENCE, MATH, TRAVEL AND HISTORY!
CHECK OUT HISTORY.
WELL, WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEW BUGS HERE AND THERE, BUT NEVER THAT MANY IN ONE SECTION!
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU.
Ms. Fileshare: I'M CONVINCED!
COME WITH ME.
FASTER!
WHATEVER YOU SAY, BOSS!
SLOWER!
Ms. Fileshare: MR. VERMIN-VEXOR?
ARE YOU THERE?
FILESHARE?
Ms. Fileshare: I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU, RIGHT AWAY.
Buzz-as-Verminator: CAN I, UH, HELP YOU?
Ms. Fileshare: FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS BAR GRAPH MY VOLUNTEERS MADE!
SCIENCE, MATH, TRAVEL AND FINALLY, HISTORY!
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A BUNDLE OF BUGS IN THE HISTORY SECTION!
EXPLAIN!
UM-UH, BE RIGHT BACK!
YOU GOTTA CONVINCE 'EM THERE'S NO PROBLEM!
WE NEED MORE TIME TO GET THOSE BUGS TO DO WHAT YOU ER, I MEAN, I PROGRAMMED 'EM TO DO!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'LL DO IT.
BUT I GET A RAISE!
FINE!
Hacker as Verminator: MS. FILESHARE, I HAVE MY OWN GRAPH TO SHOW YOU THAT TELLS QUITE A DIFFERENT STORY.
SEE?
YOU'VE ONLY GOT A FEW OF THOSE NASTY LITTLE BUGS.
THERE'S NO REASON TO WORRY.
HMMM.
ACCORDING TO HIS BAR GRAPH, HISTORY MAY HAVE A FEW MORE BUGS THAN OTHER AREAS.
BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A BIG PROBLEM AT ALL!
HE CAN GET THEM WHEN HE COMES BACK NEXT TIME.
BUT MS. FILESHARE!
HE'S TRYING TO TRICK YOU!
HE FUDGED HIS NUMBERS SO HIS GRAPH SHOWS LESS BUGS THAN WE COUNTED!
Hacker as Verminator: NOT SO FAST!
MY GRAPH USES THE EXACT SAME NUMBERS AS YOURS DOES.
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
Jackie: IT'S TRUE, MATT.
HIS HISTORY BAR READS FOURTEEN BUGS, THE SAME NUMBER WE COUNTED.
Ms. Fileshare: MATTHEW, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.
ACCUSING MR. VERMIN-VEXOR OF DECEPTION WHEN HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
MY DECISION IS MADE!
WE'LL KEEP MR. VERMIN-VEXOR'S SERVICE.
NOW PLEASE, EXCUSE ME.
OH, MAN.
MY REPUTATION'S RUINED!
SHE WON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING I SAY EVER AGAIN.
Matt: I DON'T GET IT.
BOTH GRAPHS USED THE SAME NUMBERS, BUT THE VERMIN-VEXOR'S GRAPH MADE THE PROBLEM LOOK SO SMALL.
I KNOW.
WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?
Delete: YOU DIDN'T FAIL, CHECK THE SCALE!
Digit: IT'S THAT SQUEAKY GUY!
Inez: THIS WAY!
Matt: I THINK I SEE HIM!
UGH.
NOT AGAIN!
Jackie: I THOUGHT FOR SURE HE RAN IN HERE.
Matt: HE DID, BUT WE'VE LOST HIM.
WAIT!
MAYBE HE LED US BACK TO THE HISTORY SECTION FOR A REASON.
Digit: BUG AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK!
Matt: HEY!
DID YOU SEE THAT?
AND THAT?!
Inez: THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD AT ALL.
THOSE BUGS ARE PUTTING HACKER IN PLACE OF MOTHERBOARD!
Digit: WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?
Kids: HACKER!
Jackie: MAKE ROOM, I GOTTA PACE!
OKAY, WE KNOW THE CYBRARY HAS A SERIOUS BUG PROBLEM.
AND WHEN DOES IT HAVE A BUG PROBLEM?
AFTER THE VERMIN-VEXOR DOES HIS EXTERMINATOR THING!
WHICH CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING... HACKER MUST BE THE VERMIN-VEXOR!
AND HE DOESN'T GET RID OF BUGS, HE ADDS THEM!
AND WHY?
TO ERASE MOTHERBOARD FROM ALL OF CYBERSPACE HISTORY!
YES!
THEY GOT IT!
WE GOTTA CONVINCE FILESHARE TO SPRAY THIS PLACE, PRONTO!
HOLD IT!
BECAUSE OF ME, SHE WON'T BELIEVE A THING WE SAY.
BUT OUR BAR GRAPH DID HAVE HER CONVINCED.
FOR A MOMENT, ANYWAY.
WE KNOW THAT IT'S RIGHT.
BUT HACKER'S GRAPH WASN'T WRONG.
Digit: HOW CAN THEY BOTH BE RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, LET'S CHECK THEM OUT.
Jackie: LOOK!
HACKER'S BAR GRAPH HAS NUMBERS ON IT!
BUT OURS DOESN'T!
Matt: SO WHAT?
OUR BARS STAND FOR THE SAME NUMBERS HIS DO.
BUT BECAUSE WE KNEW WHAT OUR NUMBERS WERE, WE DIDN'T BOTHER TO PUT THEM ON OUR GRAPH!
Jackie: UGH!
WE DIDN'T EVEN NUMBER OUR SCALE!
AND THAT'S WHAT SHOWS HO W MUCH EACH BAR STANDS FOR.
SCALE?
DID YOU SAY SCALE?
THAT'S WHAT SQUEAKY THROAT SAID.
"YOU DIDN'T FAIL...
CHECK THE SCALE!"
Matt: TOUCHDOWN!
JAX, ADD THE SCALE!
Jackie: WILL DO!
LET'S SEE, OUR SCALE GOES UP BY TWOS.
THE TOP NUMBER IS FOURTEEN, SINCE THAT'S THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF BUGS WE COUNTED IN ANY SECTION.
BUT HACKER'S HISTORY BAR READS FOURTEEN, ALSO!
Matt: SO HOW COME IT ONLY GOES THIS FAR UP HIS GRAPH?
Inez: WHAT SCALE IS HE USING?
Digit: YEAH, SCALE.
WHAT SCALE?
Jackie: WH OA, EACH OF HIS SCALE LINES GOES UP BY FIFTEEN.
WITH A TOP NUMBER OF 105!
WHY'D HE USE SUCH A HIGH NUMBER?
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO.
Matt: THAT'S RIGHT HE DIDN'T HAVE TO!
HE WANTED TO.
TO HIDE THE TRUTH!
C'MON!
MS. FILESHARE, THE BUG PROBLEM IS WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT.
THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING TERRIBLE!
WORSE THAN MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS?
I DON'T THINK SO.
BUT I'M MUCH TOO BUSY TO GO LOOK AT ANY MORE GRAPHS.
Jackie: NO PROBLEM, MS. FILESHARE, WE'RE BRINGING THEM TO YOU!
Matt: POINTING FINGERS WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THE FACTS WAS WRONG, MS. FILESHARE.
THE VERMIN-VEXOR DID USE THE SAME NUMBERS FOR HIS BAR GRAPH THAT WE DID.
BUT THERE'S MORE, LOOK.
BOTH GRAPHS HAVE NUMBER SCALES NOW, THEY DIDN'T BEFORE.
HMMM, FOURTEEN ON YOURS... AND ONE HUNDRED FIVE ON HIS?
YEP.
THE VERMIN-VEXOR USED REALLY BIG NUMBERS ON HIS SCALE SO THAT THE DATA BARS WOULD LOOK TINY.
Jackie: AN D TINY BARS MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THERE'S ONLY A FEW BUGS IN ALL THE SECTIONS.
WE CHOSE A SCALE WITH SMALLER NUMBERS, SO THE BARS WOULD BE BIGGER AND EASIER TO UNDERSTAND.
BUT LARGE OR SMALL, MS. FILESHARE, FOURTEEN BUGS IS FOURTEEN BUGS!
WELL, FLIP MY FILES!
THERE'S MORE.
WATCH!
Hacker as Verminator: LOOK AT THESE, YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL I GOT RID OF A LOT MORE BUGS THAN HE DID LAST YEAR.
Ms. Fileshare: WAIT!
THOSE GRAPHS AREN'T A FAIR COMPARISON!
ADD SCALES TO THEM, AND WHAT DO YOU SEE?
Ms. Fileshare: TH E OTHER GUY CAUGHT WAY MORE BUGS THAN THE VERMIN-VEXOR!
HE DELIBERATELY LEFT OFF THE SCALES TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE WAS BETTER.
I'VE BEEN BAMBOOZLED!
WE MADE THE SAME MISTAKE UNTIL WE FOUND OUT THE SIZES OF THE BARS ON A GRAPH DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.
THE POWER IS IN THE WHOLE PICTURE!
YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND THE SCALE TOO.
THEN YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE GRAPH IS REALLY SAYING.
Matt: AND THAT'S NOT ALL.
THE VERMIN-VEXOR ISN'T WHO HE SAYS HE IS.
HE'S REALLY- Digit: HEY, GUYS!
I NEED A LITTLE HELP.
Matt: DIDGE!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
Digit: YOIKES!
Motherboard: HACKER ALERT!
HACKER ALERT!
Hacker: (LAUGHING) Inez: TH AT'S WHAT THE BUGS ARE DOING, MS. FILESHARE, SWITCHING ALL REFERENCES OF MOTHERBOARD TO HACKER!
MOTHERBOARD'S BEING ERASED FROM CYBER-HISTORY!
THIS WILL NEVER DO!
WE MUST STOP HIM.
Delete: MY HINTS WORKED!
THEY WISED UP TO HACKER'S PLAN!
Hacker: MY PLAN?
IF IT'S MY PLAN, HOW COME I'M NOT THE BOSS?
YEAH AND HOW COME YOU HELPED THE KIDS?
UH, WELL, I DID IT FOR US, BUZZY.
I FIGURED IF THE KIDS MESSED UP OUR PLAN, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO BE BOSS ANYMORE.
Jackie: DELETE WAS SQUEAKY THROAT!
GET HIM!
Hacker: AFTER HIM!
AAAHH!
All: AAAHH!
AT LAST, HISTORY WILL REMEMBER ME AND NOT MOTHERBOARD AS THE GREAT LEADER OF CYBERSPACE!
UM, I'M NOT POSITIVE, BUZZY, BUT I THINK THE BOSS GOT HIS MEMORY BACK.
BUZZY?
WHO'S BUZZY?
AND WHO ARE YOU?
Hacker: NEVER MIND ALL THAT!
LET'S GO CHECK ON MY BUGS!
Matt: DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, HACKER!
MOTHERBOARD'S NOT HISTORY, BUT YOUR BUGS ARE!
Digit: HEY, GUYS!
YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME!
Matt: HANG ON, DIDGE!
Motherboard: I AM MOTHERBOARD.
THANKS, I NEEDED THAT!
I'LL BE BACK, YOU MEDDLING MOPPETS!
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF THE HACKER!
GET US OUT OF HERE!
Jackie: THE CYBRARY'S SAVED, MS. FILESHARE.
NO MORE BUGS AND ALL REFERENCES TO MOTHERBOARD ARE BACK WHERE THEY BELONG.
THE CREDIT IS YOURS, MY FRIENDS.
YOU SHOWED ME THE POWER OF THE PICTURE, THE WHOLE PICTURE!
Buzz: UH , I CAN'T REMEMBER, IS THIS THE RIGHT BUTTON TO PUSH?
All: WHOA!
STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
IT'S CYBERCHASE FOR REAL.
I'M SO STOKED.
I GOT A JOB IN THE MOVIES.
EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONLY A MOVIE THEATER, IT'S STILL SHOW BUSINESS.
SHOW BUSINESS!
I'M SO EXCITED.
NOT THE SAME AS BEING ON THE SCREEN, BUT IT IS IN THE SAME BUILDING.
YES!
EXCUSE ME.
NO, GO AHEAD.
OKAY.
WHA- OOF!
EXCUSE ME.
SORRY.
HARRY.
BIANCA.
MAN: YOU MUST BE THE NEW RECRUITS.
Both: UH-HUH.
WELCOME TO THE THEATER.
WOULD YOU LIKE BUTTER WITH THAT?
HOW ABOUT A DRINK?
FIRST DAY?
YEAH.
YOU?
YEAH.
NERVOUS?
A LITTLE.
YOU?
A LITTLE.
MAN: SPEED.
SPEED IS THE KEY.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP RECORDS OF YOUR REFRESHMENT SALES EVERYDAY.
A BAR GRAPH IS THE WAY WE COMPARE RESULTS.
IF YOU WORK FAST, YOU CAN BECOME EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AND WIN FREE MOVIES AND REFRESHMENTS.
HARRY: HEY, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
GIRL: HI, I'D LIKE SOME JELLY BEANS.
HARRY: OH, JELLY BEANS.
TWO, THREE, OH, DO YOU LIKE CHEWY CANDY?
GIRL: NO, NOT REALLY BUT-- UH, NEVER MIND, NEVER MIND.
NO.
HARRY: ...CANDIES, CHOCOLATES AND PEANUT BUTTER?
Bianca: HERE YOU GO.
Harry: HA!
DONE.
POPCORN!
GET YOUR POPCORN HERE!
Patrons: SHH... POP- Harry: THAT'LL BE $12.95.
Girl: OKAY.
THAT SHOULD DO IT.
Harry: OH, THANK YOU.
WELCOME TO THE MOVIES.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME POPCORN?
HI.
CAN I HELP YOU?
HOW CAN I HELP YOU.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CANDY?
MAYBE A SODA?
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU, ACTUALLY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
COME HERE!
WAIT!
Boss: OUR NEW RECRUITS HAVE DONE VERY WELL, SELLING MORE REFRESHMENTS THAN THE REST OF YOU SLUGS.
MISS BIANCA HAS A VERY NICE GRAPH.
THIS SHOWS HER TOTAL SALES FOR THE MONTH.
NOW, HERE'S HARRY'S GRAPH FOR THE MONTH.
WOW!
LOOK HOW MUCH TALLER IT IS COMPARED TO BIANCA'S.
WELL DONE!
BOY, YOU LOOK LIKE A WINNER.
(WEAK APPLAUSE) WAIT A MINUTE!
MAY I SEE THAT?
HARRY'S GRAPH IS IMPRESSIVE, BUT LOOK AT HIS SCALE.
IT INCREASES BY 1000.
HIS TOTAL SALES ARE $4000 DOLLARS.
HOWEVER... MY GRAPH SEEMS HALF AS TALL, AND THAT IS BECAUSE MY SCALE INCREASES BY 2000.
IT'S TRUE, MY BAR DOESN'T GO UP AS MUCH, BUT THE AMOUNTS REPRESENTED ARE THE SAME.
I SOLD $4000 DOLLARS WORTH OF REFRESHMENTS, THE SAME AS HARRY.
Boss: SHE'S RIGHT.
I SHOULD HAVE COMPARED THE SCALES FIRST.
WE HAVE TWO WINNERS.
