OK, How about this one? 

Opening scene: Camera following person(s) down stairs into a dark and
smokey cellar. Sound of leaky pipe dripping in the back ground. PERSON 1
is wearing leather jacket with biker gang insignia. Walks down dark
hallway, then enters a room with other people crowded around a computer.

PERSON 1: (entering room, camera now in front) Well, is it ready yet?

PERSON 2: (unshaven, dark skin/hair, speaks in an almost sinister tone)
Almost, we're just testing it now, then we can release it into the
world.

PERSON 1: this is amazing. So this exploit means that the whole
operating system is vulnerable? MAJOR corporations run this operating
system!!! Breaking into them is a piece of cake with this security hole.

PERSON 2: (talking, slow and calculated) Yes, I know....(pause) And
nobody knows about it. (long pause, PERSON 2 looks at his computer
screen judging the results) good it is working. Yes.. yes... I think it
is ready. 

PERSON 1: good, hurry up and release it. I can't wait.

PERSON 2: Patience, patience. OK here it goes. (types a bunch of keys,
then presses ENTER with a satisfied look)

PERSON 1: Is it released?

PERSON 2: Yup, (tone changes to happy) The hole is now plugged. It will
be included in the next kernel update. That's the advantage of having
thousands of eyes reviewing the source code. We can spot bugs sooner,
fix them, and share the patch quicker.

PERSON 1: Great. Boy I'd sure hate to be using one of those other
operating systems that hide everything from the user. No one knows
what's in them.


ANNOUNCER VOICE OVER: Ubuntu, Software for humans.... All of them.
 		Copy....
 		share....
		enjoy....
