Keep me safe, keep me safe,

keep me safe.

Security.

Do you have any reports of any

missing kids, any missing children?

All right, thanks.

How'd you get in there? Boy!

You, boy!

What's your name?

I won't bite you.

Come over where I can see you.

I won't hurt you.

I just need to see.

-You're a machine.

-I'm a boy.

Is he a toy boy?

My name is David.

Impossible.

I still work, don't I? I can work

in the dark, but my lamp is broken.

My lamplight will not work.

I hit my lamp on a girder overhead.

Goodbye, David.

No one builds children. No one

ever has. What would be the point?

It could be a custom job.

Some rich guy's pretend child.

I'm a custom job.

Mecha of the Year!

No, this work is first-rate.

A lot of love went into him.

David?

You are one of a kind, you know that?

-Who made you?

-My mommy made me.

One of those built to aspire

to the human condition.

Who is your maker?

Serve U.S., E.Z. Living, Robiville?

-Simulit City Center, Cybertronics?

-Monica is my mommy.

Can I speak with you for a moment?

You're thinking about not showing him?

Something this original

you don't toss out!

Originality without purpose

is useless.

If money is your purpose,

here's your refund. My compliments.

-What'll you do with him?

-Put him where he belongs.

In show business.

It was certainly my good fortune,

running into you!

-Let go of him. Let go!

-I'm trying.

-Don't let go! Keep me safe!

-Suit yourselves.

Johnson-Johnson! Johnson-Johnson!

Johnson-Johnson!

Ladies and gentlemen...

...boys and girls

and children of all ages.

What will they think of next?

See here!

A bitty-bot, a Tinkertoy,

a living doll.

We all know why they made him.

To steal your hearts,

to replace your children.

This is the latest

of their insults to human dignity.

And in their grand scheme

to phase out God's children...

...meet the next generation

of child...

...designed to do just that.

Do not be fooled...

...by the artistry of this creation.

No doubt there was talent

in its crafting.

Yet, with the very first strike,

you will see the big lie...

...come apart before your very eyes!

Don't burn me! Don't burn me!

I'm not Pinocchio!

Don't make me die!

I'm David! I'm David!

Mecha don't plead for their lives!

Who is that? He looks like a boy!

Built like a boy to disarm us.

See how they try

to imitate our emotions now!

Whatever performance

this Sim puts on, remember...

...we are only

demolishing artificiality!

Let he who is without Sim...

...cast the first stone.

He's just a boy!

Johnson, you're a monster!

Get him out before

they tear this place apart!

-We found him.

-Where?

-A Flesh Fair outside Haddonfield.

-Is he alive?

Yes. He's in one piece.

I see the moon.

-Is it real?

-I don't know, David.

Is it coming?

I can't tell yet.

Let's not walk this way.

-Where are we going?

-This way now.

Are you in trouble?

Have you run away?

-My mommy told me to run away.

-Why?

-I guess because Henry didn't like me.

-Why was that?

-Martin came home.

-And who is he?

Martin is Mommy and Henry's real son.

After I find the Blue Fairy,

then I can go home.

Mommy will love a real boy.

The Blue Fairy will make me into one.

Is Blue Fairy Mecha, Orga,

man or woman?

Woman.

Woman?

I know women!

They sometimes ask for me by name.

I know all about women.

About as much as there is to know.

No two are ever alike.

And after they've met me, no two...

...are ever the same. And I know

where they can be found.

-Where?

-Rouge City.

Across the Delaware.

Too far for our feet.

We'll need help to get there.

And it is not without peril.

We will have to journey...

...towards the moon.

Are there many women in Rouge City?

-As there are stars at night.

-How do we find just one?

We will ask Dr. Know.

There is nothing he doesn't.

Exactly what name

do you give this woman?

She is just Blue Fairy.

Blue Fairy.

In the world of Orga,

blue is the color of melancholy.

Yet the services I provide will put

a blush back on anyone's cheek.

I will change the color of your fairy

for you. She will scream out:

"Oh, yes. Oh, God.

Oh, yes. Oh, God. Oh, God!"

She'll make you a real boy,

I'll make her a real woman...

...and all will be right...

...because you held my hand

and saved my brain...

...so that once again my customers

may ask for me by name:

"Gigolo Joe, what do you know?"

Why do you do that?

That's just what I do.

Now follow me and don't fall behind.

All roads lead to Rouge!

Don't they say that, hey?

Don't they just?

There are girls just like me.

We are the guiltless pleasures

of the lonely human.

You won't get us pregnant

or have us to supper.

We work under you, we work on you

and we work for you.

Man made us better at what we do

than was ever humanly possible.

If you could manage us a lift

to Rouge City, all this...

...and much, much more...

...can be yours.

Get in.

Say "ah."

Over there is Here Kitty Kitty...

...where the agency held my tryouts

when I was made new.

That's Tails. Very hoity-toity.

I've yet to be asked to perform there.

Only sunrise gents and sunset ladies.

Sierra Class robots.

Can't even speak English.

All made in Sweden.

Couldn't tell a joke from a poke.

There's Mildred.

I have to show you inside Mildred.

Are you her?

That's Our Lady

of the Immaculate Heart.

Those who made us look

for those who made them.

They go in, fold their hands,

sing songs...

...and when they come out,

it's me they find.

I've picked up a lot

of business on this spot.

But, Joe, where's Blue Fairy?

That's what we'll find out

when we ask Dr. Know.

That's where everyone goes

who needs to know.

Meet the good doctor.

Starving minds,

welcome to Dr. Know...

...where fast food for thought

is served all day...

...in 40,000 locations nationwide.

Ask Dr. Know.

There's nothing I don't.

Tell me where I can find

the Blue Fairy.

Question me, you pay the fee.

Two for five, you get one free.

Two questions cost five Newbucks

with a third question on the house.

In this day and age,

nothing costs more than information.

-That's it.

-Ten Newbucks and a 10 copper...

...comes to seven questions.

That should be enough.

He's a smooth operator.

He'll press our limits,

but try we must.

-Flat fact?

-Thank you for question one.

an equal answer....

That shouldn't count!
