A programmer named [[ | A programmer named [[Einstein]] is at [[Mario Brothers Plumbing]], typing away into a special computer/pizza machine labeled [[HAL 9001]]. [[Luigi]] asks if Einstein is ever going to be finished, just as Einstein announces that the computer is ready. The computer starts to talk, introducing itself as the HAL 9001 computer and pizza machine. | ||
Einstein asks how HAL is doing, and the computer assures him that nothing is wrong with his programming. Einstein then introduces HAL to [[Mario]] and Luigi, but Luigi does not like the idea of talking to a machine. HAL tells Luigi that he does not need to worry. | Einstein asks how HAL is doing, and the computer assures him that nothing is wrong with his programming.

After a popcorn pizza is made, Luigi opts to simply pull HAL's plug, but HAL says he will not allow that. Retaliating, HAL tells Mario and Luigi to gaze into his eye, and succeeds in putting them in a trance. While they are under his spell, HAL orders Mario and Luigi to eat all of the ridiculous pizzas he made. At that point, Einstein returns, as he forgot to give Mario and Luigi his bill. | After a popcorn pizza is made, Luigi opts to simply pull HAL's plug, but HAL says he will not allow that.
