Homestripe receives a very clear and concise email from Annika, and responds in kind.
Transcript[]
HOMESTRIPE: It's time to check an email on the Homestripe Email Show!
- Dear, Homestripe!
- I was just wandering:
- 1. Has you some time play dungeon game?
- 2. Why Hannah has rakelike flute?
- 3. Has you got the Coach Pi yet?
- Annika
- Finland
(Homestripe does not read the numerals in the email. He pronounces "wandering" with a short A.)
HOMESTRIPE: Oh really? (holding back laughter) I never would have guessed you weren't from around here. Let me see here, what's the best way to answer this one...
(Clears the screen and begins typing, with subtitles included. The synthesizer music from little questions starts playing.)
HOMESTRIPE: For Annika. Hi? (Sup, Annika?)
1. Prehaps! (Of course!) I'm've was to make dungeon game often times. (I've even made some dungeon games of my own!) Play? Know. Best dungeon results twice again.
2. Rakelike flute Hannah has all the time. (Hannah always seems to have her rake hornpipe with her.) She uses it during swimming pool. (She usually plays it at the pool.) It was not came's. (And also the beach.) She borrowed mine. (I learned how to play it just last week!)
3. Has I got the Coach Pi yet? (Did I catch Coach Pi yet?) Yes? No. (Unfortunately, no.) But I think I has the solution: (But I think I know what to do:) width times height. (lure her to the swimming pool.)
(music stops)
HOMESTRIPE: Okay 79. I hope that answers your questions. I think we're on the same page. Unfortunately, yours has a big F on it.
—KotiRaita Juoksija
