*[Scene: Pied Piper Office, watching the news about the strikes in Sweden on TV]*

*Dinesh*: (chuckling) "Look at Gavin go. He's not just burning bridges; he's torching entire countries now."

*Gilfoyle*: "I'm impressed, in a way. It takes a special kind of incompetence to unite an entire nation against you."

*Dinesh*: "Do you think he knows he's become Sweden's Public Enemy Number One?"

*Gilfoyle*: "Knowing Gavin? He probably thinks they're just passionate Hooli fans. The guy's ego could eclipse the sun."

*[TV shows a clip of Swedish workers striking]*

*Dinesh*: "I bet Gavin's going to try and fix this with another one of his 'brilliant' ideas. Like Hooli-branded winter coats for all the striking workers."

*Gilfoyle*: "Or 'Hooli Strikes Back' – a new VR experience where you get to fire union workers in virtual reality."

*Dinesh*: "I wonder if we can get the live feed of the moment he realizes he's screwed up. I'd pay good money for that."

*Gilfoyle*: "I've already set up a notification. There's no way I'm missing Gavin's face when a country full of polite Swedes tells him to go to hell."

*Dinesh*: "Poor Swedes. They were just minding their own business, inventing safe cars and meatballs, and then... Gavin happened."

*Gilfoyle*: "If Gavin can single-handedly shut down Sweden, imagine what he could do if he actually had a clue."

*[Both share a knowing look and burst out laughing]*
