BLINKER: It was November 1996 when I got to try out the internet for the first time. Naturally, I immediately looked up "Sliders," and learned from such pages as Ed Hall's and Robb Potter's that upcoming episodes would include "Slide Like an Egyptian," "The Substance of Fire," and a Christmas special called "Sliders' Night." My title continues that carolling theme: "Wreck the Malls With Proof on Floppy (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.)"

SYNTHIA: o/` Deck the boss for being sloppy (fa-la-la-la)... oh, sorry. My title is "A Carol Christmas." Or possibly "'Til Debt Do Us Part;" I haven't decided yet. [turns to posters] How about you?

THIRD SEASON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DAVID PECKINPAH: "Slide Slide Subliminal Slide Slide Slide Slide."

TOM SERVO [somehow being heard from the neighbouring Satellite of Love]: "Santa Claus Conquers the Mallrats!"

BLINKER [muttering]: I still want to know how a British guy could become president of an American shopping centre.
