Bad Boys

Before heading out for lunch with Moss, Roy makes a bet with Jen that he can go an entire day without saying "Have you tried turning it off and on again?", a phrase with which he routinely begins his support telephone calls. Roy and Moss decide to have lunch in the park but get delayed on their way back to work owing to a mysterious package on the street, which is believed to be a bomb, so they decide to bunk off work and go to a shopping centre. While in a store, Moss becomes overexcited at the prospect of being a delinquent for a day, and he steals several Grand Designs DVDs before leaving. Meanwhile, Jen is left alone to represent the IT department at a "work thing", in which Douglas originally praises colleague Ben Genderson, then revokes his praise of Genderson and praises the IT department; finally he declares that this redundancy exercise was a double bluff and re-praises Genderson. Ben Genderson, who is head of hiring and firing, has learned about his colleagues' secrets during the party and warns Jen that, if she can't pass a simple computer quiz, she will be fired. On their return to work, Roy and Moss become caught in the middle of the bomb scare from the earlier delay, rendering Roy motionless with fright and allowing Moss to get arrested for his earlier mischief. It turns out that the bomb disposal robot wasn't working, and when the stationary Roy suggests turning it off and back on again, Jen delightedly declares that she has won the bet. It is revealed in an epilogue paragraph that: Moss was released from prison after he did three hours of community service and was banned from watching Grand Designs ever again; Douglas was watching the bomb scare, and in the excitement, he forgot to fire anyone; and the mysterious package didn't contain a bomb after all but did contain a child's balloon that popped and gave Roy a little fright.
