HE JUST HASN'T APPLIED I TO HUMAN FORM.

SHE'S SO REAL.

YOU'RE IN MY LIVER.

EWW.

Roscoe:

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE A LIVER.

WELL, I KNOW WHERE

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

SHE PULLS WHATEVER

INFORMATION SHE NEEDS

RIGHT OFF THE NET.

THAT MEANS:

SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

I DON'T EVEN SEE

A PROJECTOR.

SHE DOESN'T NEED ONE.

THE COMPUTER:

USES ECHO LOCATION

TO MEASURE THE ROOM

AND PULSING FREQUENCIES

TO HOLD HER PATTERN.

HERE, WATCH THIS.

I CAN CHANGE HER HAIR,

HER EYES, HER WHOLE LOOK.

[RACHEL LAUGHS]

Cindy:

TRIES TO TOUCH HER,

NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW.

[CHIRPING]

Loretta:

WELL, SURE. WITH WHAT?

I MEAN, A HAND.

OH, YUCK. EW.

HOW MANY TIMES:

DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?

YOU HAVE TO STAY AWAY

FROM WINDOWS AND DOORS

THAT LEAD OUTSIDE.

WHY?

HOLOGRAMS:

CAN ONLY EXIST INDOORS.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES

I'VE LOST THE CAT.

WE'LL HAVE TO BUILD YOU

A NEW HAND FROM SCRATCH.

HEY, ROSCOE,

DOES YOUR FATHER

KNOW ABOUT LORETTA?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

IF HE FINDS OUT,

HE'LL DELETE HER.

THEN I SUGGES WE HIDE HER. FAST.

[CAR ALARM BEEPS]

I--I DON'T--

I DON'T NEED HELP.

I JUST THINK:

THAT I COULD--

MAYBE SOME--

SOME OTHER TIME.

ALL RIGHT, FINE.

Roscoe:
IT'S SIMPLE, MAX.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PLUG IN

THE QUADRATIC FORMULA,

AND SOLVE FOR "X."

HOW CAN I DO THAT?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT "X" IS.

COME ON, MAX.

YOUR MOTHER'S

THE HEAD OF SKYGRAPH.

SOME OF THOSE BRAINS

MUST HAVE TRICKLED DOWN.

WELL, YOU KEEP

WORKIN' ON THIS.
