[Panel 1]
[Bell]
All right then, what about the complete
bootlegs from Manufactured Romance? They'd
be expensive to track down, surely?
[Nils]
Hmm. Some guy in
Australia uploaded
them last year.
They'll be on the
house server
tomorrow.
[Bell]
Darn. Er... a billiard table?
[Elizabeth]
Where would we put it?
[Panel 2]
[Bell]
There must be SOMETHING I want
that I can spend money on!
It's not NATURAL!
[Elizabeth]
YOU'RE all right. Most
of the things I want can't
be had for mere money.
I mean, if I ever left my job, I wouldn't
be able to visit an original Piers Plowman
any more. Never mind two of them.
And nothing in the world could buy a second
manuscript of Gawain and the Green Knight.
[Panel 3]
[Nils]
And all the software I use is
free by design. I can send 'em
money, but I'm not BUYING things.
I could use a couple
of grand for a bigger
house server, mind.
[Bell]
Every time someone spends money
on computers, a fairy dies.
[Elizabeth]
That explains the ratty old hardware we
have at the library, then. A lot of the
management are away with the fairies...
[Panel 4]
[Bell]
I could get a great big beautiful car!
[Elizabeth]
Where would you drive it?
[Bell]
Er, to visit... um... but then I
couldn't drink anything... hmmm....
[Nils]
Anyway, if you wanted to park
it in the courtyard we'd have
to move the braaistand.
AND the wholemeal sandals cafe
would think you're completely
eco-unfriendly, and never accept
another parcel for you.
