Comic Transcript
PHIL: No, that didn't work.
BARRY: Maybe we could create some kind of logic loop that would trap the part of the program that keeps selecting him.
MARK: This is ridiculous.
ALEX: Have you been here all weekend?
PHIL: This isn't Star Trek, Barry. Maybe we could temporarily re-weight all the search criteria to make Mark less statistically interesting.
BARRY: But that would exclude more than just him. Maybe we could add a flag to the program that excludes any Ubersoft employee from the search.
MARK: This stupid database they're using to select their lawsuit victim keeps picking me. They're trying to figure out how to get it to stop.
PHIL: That might work... would we include contractors, too?
BARRY: Better make that a separate option.
MARK: Guys... why don't you just delete my name and information form the database?
PHIL: But if we do that you'll be excluded from all the searches when we run this baby for the Federal Government.
BARRY: And then national security would be at stake.
MARK: Oh, for -- look, delete it for THIS search, then just add it back in when you're finished.
(Silence.)
PHIL: But that would be work.
