The script
Panel 1
Alex: I installed ClickFix to fix all my glitches, but now my computer's in a twisty loop of inefficiency!
Sam: ClickFix, the simplicity that makes getting things done difficult.
Robin: Like when your new DVR tries to make your old VCR better, but just gets stuck.
Panel 2
Alex: I tried rebooting, but ClickFix wouldn’t let me. It’s like a stubborn kid won’t clean up his toys.
Sam: It’s not just the simplicity of ClickFix that makes it useful, it’s also how well it solves problems.
Robin: Plus, you’d have to be a real pro to get it to stop trying to be helpful and just get out of the way.
Panel 3
Alex: I guess I’ll just keep trying to break it, just to see how far I can push its limits.
Sam: Well, you’ve got a new way to spend your evenings now, Alex.
Robin: And if it crashes your computer, you’ll have a new joke to tell your friends!
