1
Ben? Why are you standing outside in the rain?
بن؟ لماذا تقف في الخارج تحت المطر؟
2
Don't ask. My own front door won't let me in.
لا تسأل، باب منزلي الأمامي نفسه لا يسمح لي بالدخول.
3
What do you mean, it won't let you in?
ماذا تقصد بأن النظام لا يسمح لك بالدخول؟
4
The lock updated itself last night, and now it doesn't recognise me.
تم تحديث القفل تلقائياً الليلة الماضية، والآن لا يتعرف عليّ.
5
Okay, calm down. Have you tried the app?
6
Of course I have! It says I'm not authorised.
7
Not authorised? But it's your house!
8
Tell that to the lock. Apparently, I'm a stranger now.
9
Wait, why are your lights flashing like that?
10
Oh no. That's party mode. I never use party mode!
11
Ha, your house is having more fun than you are.
12
This isn't funny, Chloe. The neighbours are staring!
13
And now the speaker's playing disco. At full volume.
14
Let me try. Hey, speaker, turn the music off!
15
Hmm, it just turned it up. I think it hates us.
16
Ugh, maybe I should just break a window.
17
Whoa, let's not do anything drastic.
18
Okay, let's think. When did you last reset it?
19
Um, reset it? I've never reset anything in my life.
20
Right. Normally, you'd hold the button inside the house.
21
Inside the house. Which is exactly where I can't go.
22
Fair point. That's quite a design flaw, isn't it?
23
Hang on... didn't Mum give me a spare key years ago?
24
A real key? Made of metal?
25
Yes! Here it is, still on my keyring!
26
But does a smart lock even have a keyhole?
27
Let's find out. Look, there's one hidden under this cover!
28
It worked! I'm in! Oh, I could kiss that key!
29
See? Sometimes old technology is the smartest technology.
30
First thing tomorrow, I'm turning off automatic updates.
31
And maybe get a second spare key, just in case.
32
Good idea. And this time, I'm hiding it under the plant pot.
