Check out this .mp3 audio clip - credits_wild.mp3. Its the actual audio from a hilarious, improvised "wild credits" soundbyte that was to play during the closing credits.

In the audio clip, "Harry" the accountant is pestering the BalaBoss character (the guy in the swell blue suit) about additional software functionality. Enjoy!
