Dialog:
| Stuart [standing by a desk with a computer, with Banderooge next to him]: Look what I got for Christmas, Banderooge! It's a home computer! | |
Banderooge: Can you play Asteroids?
Stuart: No, but it makes split-second corrections and reorganizes paragraphs! | |
Banderooge: Can you play Space Invaders?
Stuart: No, Banderooge, it's a study and writing aid. All it does is schoolwork. | |
Banderooge [walking away]: Who needs it? | |
