Unless youre preoccupied...

Receptionist quickly hides the action figures.

RECEPTIONIST(like nothing washappening)

Nope. Nothing happening here.

INT. ROOM 15

They enter the room and immediately see a strange lookingcomputer on the bed. It has LCD screens for eyes and a mouth

and lanky robot arms.

RECEPTIONISTWhat the... huh?

RECEPTIONISTIt looks like... a fax machine with

arms.

They get closer to it, inspecting it. Security Guard gives ita nudge.

RECEPTIONIST(to security guard)

SECURITY GUARDJust forget about it. Lets lookoutside.

They walk over to the window and look out. They see numbersand code running up and down right through thin air, creating

a wall.

COMPUTERHa. Ha. Ha. Youre in my playgroundnow. Bitches.

Numbers and code begin to run through all of physical space,distorting everything.

The chaos of the numbers and code continues to elevate untilthere is...

AN IMPLOSION OF WHITE SPACE.

All physical space is now an endless white chasm. Only thecomputer remains, alone.

COMPUTER (CONTD)Oh no. I fucked up again.

A sad face displays on the computers screens. It slowly rollsaway.
