The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Wide panel, establishing shot of the Singapore Minister of Transport (a very well-dressed, paunchy Malaysian) at a press conference. He has a phalanx of other suits on either side behind him all standing on a railway platform, and behind the phalanx, some shiny new subway cars on the tracks, ready to go. There's a crowd or news reporters in the foreground. In an inset, we see Robyn, who is narrating the scene.

Robyn: It started in Singapore, where I'm from.

Robyn: The Minister of Transport staged a big media event to introduce some shiny new cars that were going into service for the MRT.

Panel 2
A short ways down the platorm, we see a slightly younger and decidedly un-scruffy Robyn, standing near an open subway car door, smirking. We see a few other people in the frame, facing away from her and towards the Minister, who is off-panel.

Caption (Robyn): 'I thought it would be really funny if that corrupt stuffed shirt's new subway cars wouldn't move as he gave the media the grand tour.'


Panel 3
Close-up of Robyn's hand pressing a wad of chewing gum against a photocell in the door jamb.

Caption: 'While the Minister was showboating, I gummed one of the door's photocells.

Caption: 'Taking advantage of a design flaw dating back to the 1980s.'
