You are my mommy.

You smell lovely. I love it

when you wear this stuff.

-Will you love me when it's all gone?

-No.

Stop it!

We can marry again and begin with

a scent that's not in short supply.

Come on, we're late.

-Hello, David.

-Hello, Henry.

Walk us out, sweetheart.

Come on!

My shoe!

-Your tie! You're hopeless!

-I'm helpless. He made our bed.

He's just trying so hard!

He's trying to please me.

He has a way with my coffee!

It's creepy.

You never hear him coming.

-He is only a child.

-He's a toy.

He's a gift.

From you.

David, when we leave,

the doors will go smart...

...so you can't leave your room,

but if you'd like....

-I put too much on.

-Do I smell lovely?

Oh, God, no!

Mommy?

Will you die?

Well, one day, David, yes, I will.

I'll be alone.

Don't worry yourself so.

How long will you live?

For ages.

For 50 years.

I love you, Mommy.

I hope you never die.

Never.

Yes.

Darling!

We're becoming unfashionably,

unreasonably late.

Hello?

This belonged to Martin, my son.

His name is Teddy.

Teddy, this is David.

-Hello, Teddy.

-Hello, David.

Teddy is a supertoy. I know

you'll take good care of each other.

I am not a toy.

Henry!

-Sorry!

-What were you doing?

I'll tell you in the car. Come on!

Is 50 years a long time?

I don't think so.

David, I'll get it!

-Hand it to me.

-Look what I can do.

Hello.

Yes?

Mrs. Swinton, could you hold?

I have an urgent call.

Yes, I will.

David, I need the phone now.

Monica? Can you hear me?

-Let the phone talk now.

-Pick up the phone, Monica!

-Run along, play with Teddy.

-Oh, my God, Moni--

Hello, Henry, what is it?

What?

When?

Oh, God!

David.

The most wonderful thing

in the whole world has happened.

This is Martin.

This is my son.

Martin, no!

We'll have a contest to see

who he comes to first.

Come here, Teddy! Come here!

Teddy! Come here!

-You call him too.

-Come here, Teddy.

-Come on. Teddy!

-Come here, boy.

-Come here! Come on, Teddy.

-Come here, Teddy.

-Teddy, come.

-Come here, Teddy.

-Come here, Teddy.

-Come, Teddy! Come.

Mommy! Mommy!

Are they torturing you, Teddy?

He used to be a supertoy, but...

...now he's old and stupid.

You want him?

Yes, please.

Now you're the new supertoy.

What stuff can you do?

Can you do power stuff, like walk

on the ceiling or the walls?

Anti-gravity, like float or fly?

Can you?

No, because I'm real.

Can you break this?

I better not.

These things, they do look better

in pieces. They do.

I can't.

Stand up.

-Look, they made you bigger than me.

-Who did?

They did. The dollmakers.

They made you taller.

Why don't you look like one?

Like one?

You're not cute like a doll.

You just look like

someone's ordinary kid.

When's your birthday?

I never had a birthday.

When were you first built?

When's your "build-day"?

I don't remember.

Okay, what's the first thing

you can remember?

A bird.

What sort of bird?

A bird with big wings...

...and feathers sticking up

from the bottom.

Can you draw it?

Yes.

That looks like a peacock.

Can you say peacock?

Peacock.

-Can you say pee?

-Pee.

Now say that two times fast.

Okay. Then you gotta put

the green ones--

Read to us?

Let's see.

Oh, yeah.

David's going to love it.

"The Showman went into the kitchen...

...where the sheep for supper...

...was roasting on the spit

in the furnace.

When he saw there was

not enough wood...

...he called Harlequin

and Punchinello and said:

'Bring me Pinocchio!

He is hanging on a nail.

He is made of dry wood and will

make a nice fire for my roast.' "

"Pinocchio worked until midnight.

And instead of making

eight baskets, he made 16.

Then he went to bed and fell asleep.

As he slept, he dreamt he saw

the fairy, lovely and smiling...

...who gave him a kiss, saying:

'Brave Pinocchio...

...in return for your good heart,

I forgive all your past misdeeds.

Be good in future,

and you will be happy.'

Then the dream ended and

Pinocchio awoke, full of amazement.

You can imagine how astonished

he was when he saw...

...that he was no longer a puppet...

...but a real boy,

just like other boys."

Josephine has taken

a leave of absence.

Oh, my God.

Well, I saw that coming.

-How? They were fabulous together.

-Come on! She was miserable.

-He never said they were miserable.

-That's because....

-Is that because of the cutbacks?

-No idea. They don't tell me.

-Do they have a weight problem?

-So do I.

You do not! That is ridiculous.

I don't know.

There's something

about inner beauty that....

You will break.

-That is ridiculous!

-Exactly.

-Work has become so silly.

-I know what you're talking about.

-Does he eat?

-I'm not sure.

-You're not supposed to do that.

-What are you doing?

-Martin, put the fork down!

-Stop, David. Will you stop?

Martin, you're provoking him.

Stop it.

-Stop it!

-The two of you, stop! Stop it now!

Stop it!

David, stop it!

-There's sputum in the code lockers.

-Smell that garlic.

We should throw in a chest mint.

-Can you locate the surface?

-Don't touch the merchandise.

-It's all swamp in here.

-You made a mess of yourself.

Spinach is for rabbits,

people and Popeye.

Not robo-boys.

Try to insert yourself.

Through the pantry,

the lower shelves.

It's okay, Mommy. It doesn't hurt.

Deactivators are all shut down

on the left side.

-Monica.

-No! I have to....

That's not all of it.

That's not all of it.

If you do something really,

really, really special for me...

...a special mission...

...then I'll go tell Mommy...

...I love you.

And then she'll love you too.

What shall I do?

You have to promise,

and then I'll tell you.

You have to tell me,

and then I'll promise.

I want a lock of Mommy's hair.

I'll share it with you.

And if you had it and wore it...

...she might love you even more.

Like the princess

in the movie we saw.

When she had the prince's hair

in her necklace thing...

...he loved her.

We can ask her.

No, it has to be a secret mission.

Sneak into Mommy's bedroom

in the middle of the night...

...and chop it off.

I can't, Martin. I'm not allowed.

You promised.

You said, "Tell me,

and then I'll promise."

Didn't you?

David!

Why did you do that?

Why did you do that?!

Talk to me! Goddamn it, talk to me!

Why did you do that?

You're hurting him!

You'll break him!

Henry...

...I wanted Mommy to love me...

...more.

-Oh, my God!

-What?

I think I cut my eye.

I think it's bleeding.

Come on, watch it.

It's normal for boys

to feel jealous and competitive.

Martin's been home a month.

Brothers normally challenge each other.

He was playing a game, he made

a mistake. He's practically human.

-Not holding the knife.

-Scissors.

It was a weapon.

-Why do you think he'd harm me?

-We don't know the answer.

How is he worth the risk to you,

to Martin, to our family?

-I won't let you take him back.

-Think about this.

If he was created to love,

then we can assume he can hate.

And if pushed to those extremes,
