Transcript: Earning 100 Snelfus

JACKIE: Hmmm, I guess when you save a little at a time and you keep on doing it over and over, it adds up. What just a minute. What if we did that with Snelfus?

DIGIT: Do what?

JACKIE: Save snelfus. The auction doesn’t end for eleven days. That gives us time.

MATT: Only one problem. Where do we get the snelfus to save?

JACKIE: We earn them. We get jobs. If we earn and save even a little bit everyday for eleven days. The total will add up. And we can bid on the chip

AUCTIONEER: You’re the cheapest bunch of borgs I ever saw. This chip is priceless. Thirty-five snelfus is nothing.

BIDDER: I bid fifty snelfus.

AUCTIONEER: Fifty snelfus. Now we’re bidding.

SLIDER: I think the way this auction is going we’re going to need at least a hundred snelfus to get that chip.

JACKIE: Oh man, how can we save a hundred snelfus in just eleven days?

DIGIT: Let’s see, if we saved one a day like I did with these caps, it would take, yikes, a hundred days to save a hundred snelfus.

MATT: Time out. We don’t have a hundred days. We only have eleven.

INEZ: So what would happen if we saved ten snelfus a day instead of one? That work?

JACKIE: Lets try. Say this cap is ten snelfus. On the first day we would save ten snelfus. On day two we save another ten, which makes our total savings twenty snelfus.

MATT: So the total goes up by ten each day. Hey a pattern!

INEZ: Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety and on the tenth day our total reaches one hundred. Cool.

JACKIE: This plan’s going to work. If we save ten snelfus a day. We know for sure we’ll have our hundred snelfus in exactly ten days.

DIGIT: OK, Gang, let’s count up what we earned. Two, four, six, eight, ten. Day one. Ten snelfus saved.

MATT: Cool, just the amount we planned.

JACKIE: And if we keep saving ten snelfus a day for nine more days, we’ll have enough to buy the chip and save Motherboard.

INEZ: Every day, the total’s going to grow and grow.

DIGIT: I’m going to have to grow more wings to hold it all.

SLIDER: No problem. I’ll rig up a bank. We stash our cash in here. It will show how much we save each day. Our goal: the big one hundred.

JACKIE: Let’s make a deposit.

MATT: I have to admit, Slider, that’s pretty cool.

JACKIE: Pretty cool? I think it’s awesome.

INEZ: Me too. I can’t wait to do it again tomorrow.
