Chappie Page #3

Synopsis: In Johannesburg, the police department reduced the high rating of criminality using robots from the Tetravaal Company, designed by the engineer Deon Wilson. The former military Vincent Moore is envious of Deon, since he has developed another project called Moose, but neither Tetravaal nor the police department is interested. Deon has just developed an Artificial Intelligence but the Tetravaal's CEO Michelle Bradley asks him to abort the project. Deon decides to bring the damaged Robot 22 that was sent to be crushed to test his A.I. However he is kidnapped by the criminals Ninja, Yo-Landi and Amerika that want him to stop the robot cops. When they see the damaged robot in the van, they force Deon to program it to heist banks with them and they call it Chappie. However, Chappie acts like a child and need to be trained to learn and grow. Meanwhile Vincent follows Deon and plots an evil scheme to activate his robot.

The battery's fused with the chassis.

What?

- It means you can't change the battery.

- How long will it last?

- Sh*t.

- Oh, sh*t.

About five days, until the battery dies.

- This thing will only run for five days?

- Roughly, yes.

What is that?

A Guard Key.

You need it to instal new software.

Come on, man.

Remember I said it has to learn?

I have to come back

and help to teach it.

Otherwise, this is pointless.

Fine. Just switch it on.

Switch the thing on now, my friend.

Now!

Oh, sh*t.

Give it space. Give it space.

It's okay. Give it space.

Please, please, please.

Put the gun down.

Dude.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey. Come on out.

Hey, come here.

Come here, little buddy.

Come here. Come here.

Come out.

Come... Get the f*** out!

Please!

It doesn't understand English yet.

It doesn't understand you.

You gave me a retarded robot?

You're scaring it.

Just go in the kitchen.

Ninjie-kun, just go in the kitchen.

I've got this.

I'll get it. Just go get a beer

or something.

Hey. Come on.

Come on.

Can he not understand me?

It worked.

Yo, computer boy.

Can he understand me when I speak?

No. No, not yet.

Soon.

Hey. It's okay.

- Come.

- Come out.

- Come out.

- That's it.

- Here we go. Come.

- Come on.

Come. No one's gonna hurt you.

See? That's it.

Come.

Come.

That's good.

That's good. Come.

I know you don't understand,

but it's okay.

Come. Here we go.

- It's okay.

- It's some crazy sh*t, eh?

You want that?

You like that?

He's so cute.

Like a baby, eh?

That's a watch.

That's a watch.

Watch.

Watch.

- That's amazing.

- Watch.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm just gonna get one more thing.

It's good.

- Hey.

- It's okay.

Hey.

What's this? Hey, look at this.

Look at this. Listen.

Hey.

That's a chicken.

Yeah.

Chicken.

Chicken.

Yo-Ian-di.

Yo-lan-di.

Ja, good.

Deon.

Deon.

You look so happy.

Like a little happy chappie.

That's it. That's your name. "Chappie."

No. No, no, no. No, his name is not...

- Chappie.

- Ja, I like that.

- That's good. I like that. Chappie.

- Okay.

- Chicken.

- Chicken. Yeah.

What the f*** is this?

We're just orienting it.

Chicken.

- Come here!

- No, no, no.

Wait! Wait! I need to get

the Guard Key out of his head.

- I'll orient you if I ever see you again.

- He's mine! He's special.

I don't want any confrontation, okay?

I'll see him tomorrow.

You made an agreement.

Let him train the robot.

Let me come and see him

like we agreed. Please.

Okay, okay. I'm coming back.

Chappie, I'll be back!

Where are you?

Where'd you go?

What the hell are you up to, Deon?

What the hell is this? Open.

"Scout 22, Guard Key installed."

He-Man!

And the Masters of the Universe!

I am Adam...

...prince of Eternia and defender

of the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

This is Cringer...

...my fearless friend.

Fabulous secret powers

were revealed to me...

...the day I held aloft

my magic sword and said:

By the power of Grayskull!

He-Man!

I have the power!

Oh, so you watch cartoons?

No, no, no, my friend.

You stay under this roof,

you make money for me.

The first thing you do

is you get your gun.

Then you cock your gun.

Now it's ready to shoot, n?

Now you choose your target.

I wanna shoot that blue bottle,

there in the front.

Have a look. Nice and easy.

So I aim at the blue bottle, like,

there it is. I'm like, "Okay, and..."

Now I'm gonna shoot the green bottle.

Okay, look, I aim and pow! See?

Now I'm gonna shoot the yellow one.

See, it's easy.

Just aim the gun, and...

Come here. Come, come, come.

Come here. Come here. Stand here.

Now, listen, take the gun.

Hold the gun proper...

Just straighten your arm.

Just hold the f***ing gun properly,

Chappie.

Jesus Christ. Okay.

One, two, three.

Jesus, my bag.

Don't drop my gun, Chappie!

You f***ed up my sight.

This sh*t's expensive.

- What are you doing?

- Teaching him to shoot.

You shouldn't be doing this sh*t

with him yet.

Deon said he has to be orientated first.

Okay, you know what? I'm gonna go

and get the weed on my own.

Without the stupid f***ing robot.

And I'm gonna make all the money...

...so we can buy the explosives

to do this heist.

Or else we're f***ing dead.

He's not stupid. He's just a kid.

Go do your nails

and play with your titanium baby!

You having a baby, man?

Still a baby yourself, aren't you?

Whoa, hey. What happened, man?

Jeez. You got a little bit rowdy

at the bar with your mates?

If you ever wanna come out with me,

go hit the heavy bag at the gym...

...we could nut out a few great moves.

- I'll show you how to scrap.

- Yeah.

Always gotta be ready.

You know what I'm saying?

- Want in?

- Thanks for the offer, but I'm good.

No worries. Well, anytime.

It's real cool, man. It's really cool.

Hey, listen, bit of a favour.

Just wanted to borrow the Guard Key...

...so I can check Scout security levels

with my design.

I just wanna make sure that the Moose

is as secure as the Scouts.

- Borrow it?

- Yeah.

Michelle asked me

to check on the security, so...

Yeah, just an hour or something.

Vincent,

you know I can't do that, right?

- There are clear rules about that.

- Blah-blah-blah.

Mate, don't be such a wowser.

One engineer to another,

asking for the Guard Key.

- "Engineer"? Weren't you a soldier?

- Yeah.

- Look, I'm only joking.

- That's funny. Yeah.

You'd have to tell the Board of...

I spent two years at DARPA,

you whacker.

And, yeah, I was SASR,

you little stickybeak.

You're making me as cross

as a frog in a sock, mate.

Your robots have drained

all my funding.

You're a big problem for me,

you get me?

So I'm gonna start asking you slowly,

you dipstick.

Give me the Guard Key.

No.

Just taking a piss, man.

Just taking a piss.

Come on, man, look. Empty.

As if I'd carry live rounds here.

It's a prank. Everyone go back

to work, man. Come on.

Oh, by the way. Church.

Any Sunday, mate, you're welcome.

Come with me.

To all of you. All welcome.

It's just a prank, man.

This office has gotta lighten up.

Where are you going, mate?

Where are you going?

Shoe.

Say "shoe."

It's for your foot, bro.

Wait, wait. Chappie, look.

Look. Look.

"Rat." It's okay.

No, he's stupid.

He can't talk. We're screwed.

No, he can talk. He's smart.

No, he can talk. He's smart.

- Oh, my God. Look, he's copying me!

- Oh, my God. Look, he's copying me!

- Chappie! Chappie, say "shoe."

- Shoe.

- Say "rat."

- Rat.

Say "Mommy."

Say Mommy.

Chappie.

- Shoe.

- Shoe.

- Rat.

- Rat.

- Mommy.

- Mommy.

- Amerika.

- Homes.

Amerika homes.

Amerika homes.

- Good, Chappie.

- Oh, sh*t.

That homes is a clever little robot.

That homes is a clever little robot

right there.

All right, you the rudest bad boy

in Joburg.
