[Black screen with white lettering : "The Lunchroom"]
[Scene then changes to an elementary school lunchroom. Two children are
sitting at a table in front of the camera]
Child #1 : Did you finish your report?
Child #2 : Ya.
[Gets out report. In a nice binder with clear front. The
first page shows and it is the alphabet, each letter perfect in
form and style]
I did it on my computer.
Child #1 : [Looks at first page. Flips to second page. It is a 8bit color
(I think :) picture of a green dinosaur eating a infantry
soldier]
You drew this picture of a dinosaur eating an army man on your
_computer_?
Child #2 : Ya.
Child #1 : [Flips to third page. It is a color picture of a jet plane, on
fire, crashing into a volcano]
Wow....
[Child #3 comes to sit at the table]
Child #1 : [To child #3] Look what _insert a child's name here_ report!
Child #3 : [Takes report. Turns to fourth page. It is a color drawing
of a nuclear explosion]
This is the best explosion I've ever seen.
You did it all on your computer?
Child #2 : Ya.
Child #1 : My dad got me a computer, but I never use it.
Child #3 : Me too.
Child #1 : I guess I'm just stupid.
Child #3 : No. Our dads' just got us stupid computers.
[Fade to black screen again. White letter -
"McIntosh
The power to crush other kids"
Backward Apple logo]
Posters Note :
This is all from memory, and my mind is going...., so it _is_ not
exactly what was said. It is, however, very close to what was said, and
anyways, those of you out there who wanted the script just wanted the
general idea, right?
When I saw this commercial, within 5 seconds, I knew that only one
computer could be responsible for "the best explosion I've ever
seen." It was a good drawing, too! :) I laughed so hard when I saw
that phrase - "The power..."
Thumbs up to Saturday Night Live!!!!
