Three renowned scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory.
Papaia remembers that the flight for the conference is in two hours, but upon arriving at the airport, he realizes he hasn\u2019t paid for the ticket, and they miss the flight.
Ravioli uses Papaia\u2019s card at a suspicious ATM, and the bank blocks it.
Moreover, with their suitcases\u2014too many, open, and broken\u2014they cause chaos wherever they go.
The scientists spent the night at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are at the airport, where Papaia is trying to unlock the card with customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Listen, ma’am, me and my colleagues are stuck here at the airport, and my card has even been cloned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator: The card was cloned? Do you remember when it happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: It was ten in the morning, or maybe ten at night\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Ten in the morning or at night? There\u2019s a twelve-hour difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator: To block the card, you need to call the toll-free number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: No, you don\u2019t understand. The card has already blocked itself. I need to unlock it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator: No, that cannot be done for security reasons! But, given the urgency, I can help you by asking one final question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: I\u2019m ready, go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator: Can you tell me your last name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: It\u2019s obvious I know my last name. Just not right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.. Wait, it\u2019s coming to me. It should be Manghi, or Sbuccetti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Two practically identical last names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026So easy to confuse\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why don\u2019t we have the scammer call? Maybe he\u2019ll guess a few questions about Papaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator: Unfortunately, neither of those is correct. Since you can’t even remember your last name, I will have to add your account to the blacklist of our call center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Blacklist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: No, Papaia, the operator misspoke. It\u2019s the whitelist. White, like the data in your brain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operator: Normally, a new card would arrive at your home in three business days, but since you didn\u2019t pass the security check, you\u2019ll need to first contact the suspected fraud center. Please take note of their number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: No! What\u2019s the point of taking notes? Papaia has a great memory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
