Panel 1
Alex, Sam, and Robin are in Alex’s cluttered workshop, surrounded by gadgets and inventions. Alex is holding a laptop with a screen that reads
Alex: Hacker's Lair.
Alex: You know what this means, guys? We’re one step closer to making a movie about us!
Panel 2
Robin is looking at Alex with a confused but amused expression, while Sam has a skeptical look on his face.
Robin: Are you saying hackers will cast us in a movie now?
Sam: Or maybe they’re just interested in our home addresses and phone numbers.
Panel 3
Alex is grinning widely, holding a new gadget he’s just invented. Sam (deadpan)
Alex: Either way, I’m inventing a device to track down these hackers and maybe write a screenplay too!
Robin: Sounds like a plan, but maybe start with a better password for your laptop.
Sam: Or just don’t leave it unattended next time.
