[ open on interior, PC Warehouse ]

Store Owner: Hi! Welcome to PC Warehouse. How can I help you?

William's Mom: Hi, I'm looking to purchase a personal computer for my son.

Store Owner: Well, what kind of software are you looking for?

William's Mom: Hmm.. I'm not really sure what brands are out there.

[ Steve, the Dell dork, suddenly appears on a TV monitor behind them ]

Steven: Hello, Mrs. Lindsay! William! If you're looking for a top-notch computer to meet all your needs, you should check out a Dell!

William's Mom: [ annoyed ] Oh. Hello, Steven.

[ Steven walks over to everyone, dropping a hand-held Camcorder to the floor ]

Steven: Yeah, the Dell is, like, the coolest computerever! Over 20 gigabytes of RAM, Pentium IV processor, and you caneven play Minesweeper! Totally awesome!

Store Owner: Listen, you little snot-nosed punk! I've asked you repeatedly to stay out of my store and to quit fooling with my merchandise! You're creeping out the customers!

William's Mom: He is such a nuisance, and he doesn't really know as much about computers as he lets on.

William: Yeah.. he's such an idiot, he thinks a hard drive is something you get from a battered 9-iron.

Steven: Does that mean you're getting William a Dell?

William's Mom: I will buy him the most reliable PC on the market, whatever brand that might be.

Steven: [ thumbs up to William ] Dude, you're getting a Dell!

William: Dude, lay off! It's none of your damn business what kind of computer I'm getting! You're not coming over to download porn on it!

Steven: Sweet!

William: And quit rooting around our garbage at night looking for food! My dad's getting real pissed!

Steven: Alright, dude, don't worry about all that. Trust me - buy a Dell!

William's Mom: If you don't shut up, I'll buy a COMPAQ Presario just to piss you off!

Steven: Mrs. Lindsay, don't take out your anger on young William here. The people at Dell have commissioned me to help advertise their wonderful product.

William: Dude, you don't even know what "commission" means. Or "Wonderful".

Steven: Look, all I know is that the Dell people said they'd give me five cents for every computer that I help sell. I'm going to use the money I earn to buy a fudge sundae.

William's Mom: [ to Store Owner ] Is Endust fatal if taken orally?

Store Owner: I don't know, but I'll hold him down if you want to find out.

[ Steven smiles uncomfortably ]

[ cut to Dell logo screen ]

Announcer: Dell. Because even dorks need computers.
