Mario: Now there's an e-mail worth answering! (typing) Thanks for the confirmation/registration email. Yes, leetmaster, I am proud to be in your club. I have some questions.
1. Will this be away from my room?
2. Will this be away from my area of residence?
3. Will I have difficult assignments?
4. If I am away, could you please give me a laptop?
5. Will I have to decode a lot of messages because I don't understand leet at all?
Your friend,
Mario
Mario: Until next time, send me your emails and I will answer them.
References:
The phrase, "Now there's an e-mail worth answering!" is referred to in the SBEmail: "Long Pants!"
Goofs:
When the leet was translated, there were I's, E's, and O's where the numbers should have been, this has been corrected during the transcript writing.
DVD Version:
The decoding process now takes longer, also the "Message Decoded!" message appears on the Tandy and stays for a longer time period.
