12INT. MARK’S DORM ROOM - NIGHT

MARK finishes another drink and gets back to his work.

TITLE:

1:03 AM

MARK (V.O.)

Next is Elliot. They’re also open but

with no indexes on Apache. I can run an

empty search and it returns all of the

images in the database in a single page.

Then I can save the page and Mozilla will

save all the images for me. Excellent.

Moving right along.

Flying by at super-speed on MARK’s computer screen have been commands and images that the rest of us can’t possibly understand.
