The Longest Journey Hints
How do I turn off the marquee?
1 of 9: You've got to disconnect the sparking wires completely.
2 of 9: But you can't just do that with your bare hands, because you would surely be dead if you did. No, you've got to protect your hands.
3 of 9: The best way to protect your hands is to wear gloves.
4 of 9: If you don't have them, you can get a pair of gloves from a trash can at the Academy.
5 of 9: But there's a hole in the gloves.
6 of 9: You've got to patch over the hole.
7 of 9: You should have something in your inventory that can be used as a patch.
8 of 9: Use the Band-Aid that was on the rubber duck. (You had to remove the Band-Aid earlier to deflate the duck and get the key.)
9 of 9: So, use the Band-Aid with the glove, then use the glove with the sparks.
