The script
Panel 1
Alex (excitedly)
Alex: Skynet is finally here! Isn't it amazing how we've solved all our problems through artificial intelligence? And guess what? There's also this guy from Nigeria who claims he's a prince with a $20 million fortune for me to claim!
Panel 2
Sam (with a shrug)
Sam: You know, it’s not a bad deal. But seriously, Alex, we need to be more careful. The government might want to regulate this Skynet thing because they could use it to their advantage. And don’t forget, the Nigerian prince isn’t exactly who he claims to be either.
Panel 3
Robin (laughing)
Robin: It’s all a myth, guys! The government’s just trying to capture Skynet for their own control. And the Nigerian prince is probably just another scam to make some of them rich. It’s all a big, self-serving game!
