SMART, TALENTED...

HIGH RESOLUTION.

ALBUM TITLE.

[TYPING ON COMPUTER]

TAKE CARE OF MY GIRL, ROSCOE.

YOUR GIRL?

HEY, YOU GUYS

SOUNDED GREAT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

A KILLER FIRST ALBUM.

HMM. YOU MEAN

LORETTA WILL.

YEAH.

LOOK, I'M SORRY

SHE'S GETTING

ALL THE ATTENTION.

ARE YOU?

I MEAN, THAT'S WHY

YOU MADE HER, RIGHT?

THE BAND NEEDED:

AN IMAGE.

YOU SAY THAT LIKE

IT'S A BAD THING.

THINGS JUST AREN' TURNING OU THE WAY I WANTED,

ALL RIGHT?

YOU'VE STILL GO THAT EXTRA DATA CELL,

DON'T YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE LORETTA

FOR A WHILE? HUH?

THEN THEY COULD:

DO A STORY ON YOU

AND HOW THE TWO OF YOU

ARE FRIENDS.

WE ARE?

YOU COULD TRY TO BE.

TELL YOU WHAT, ROSCOE,

IF SHE BECOMES:

TOO MUCH FOR YOU,

E-MAIL HER TO ME.

DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

STUDYING:

YOUR CREATION.

HOW DID YOU COMPENSATE

FOR THE AMBIENT ROOM LIGHT?

UH, VARIABLE

INTENSITY:

SUB-ROUTINE.

DAD, PLEASE, YOU'RE

EMBARRASSING HER.

IT'S OK, ROSCOE.

I DON'T MIND.

HEY, DAD,

YOU NEED TO WARN HER

BEFORE YOU DO THAT.

I HAVE TO HAND I TO YOU, ROSCOE.

WHAT YOU HAVE DONE HERE

IS AMAZING.

OF COURSE,

A HOLOGRAPHIC ROCK STAR

ISN'T EXACTLY

WHAT I HAD IN MIND.

DAD, DON'T START.

BUT SHE'S

A GOOD BEGINNING.

NOW LET'S JUST MOVE

BEYOND IT.

WHY CAN'T YOU

JUST APPRECIATE:

WHAT YOU'VE GO RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU?

I MEAN, YOU SAW HER.

BUT DID YOU SEE WHO SHE IS?

WHO SHE'S BECOMING?

SHE CAN'T BECOME

ANYTHING. SH--

IT--IT'S A HOLOGRAM.

NO, SHE'S AN INDIVIDUAL.

SHE HAS THOUGHTS

AND FEELINGS,

JUST LIKE:

YOU AND ME.

NO.

SHE'S A BLEND

OF LIGHT AND COLOR.

LIKE--

WELL, LIKE

AN ABSTRACT PAINTING.

IT'S VIBRANT,

IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

BUT IN THE END,

IT'S JUST SOMETHING

TO LOOK AT,

NOTHING MORE.

REALLY?

WELL, THAT NOTHING

SAVED YOU:

YOUR FUNDING.

THANKS TO HER,

YOU'RE SKYGRAPH'S

FAVORITE EMPLOYEE.

THAT WASN'T HER.

THAT WAS YOU.

BY CREATING HER,

YOU MIGHT HAVE--

YOU MIGHT HAVE EVEN

SAVED MY JOB.

GLAD YOU NOTICED.

I'M GOING

FOR A WALK.

ROSCOE, I WROTE A SONG.

TELL ME IT'S BRILLIANT.

TELL ME IT'S PERFECT.

"I BELIEVE IN YESTERDAY,

DANIEL MY BROTHER,

HEY, NOW YOU'RE A ROCK STAR,

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER?"

ISN'T IT GREAT?

LORETTA, THESE ARE JUS LINES FROM OTHER SONGS.

YEAH, BUT I PUT THEM

ALL TOGETHER.

YOU WANT TO HEAR

THE MUSIC?

NO, I KNOW THE MUSIC.

LORETTA, YOU CAN'T JUS TAKE BITS AND PIECES

OF OTHER SONGS.

WHY NOT?

YOU MADE ME OUT OF

BITS AND PIECES OF

OTHER PEOPLE.

TH-THAT'S DIFFERENT.

HOW?

IT JUST IS. OK, LOOK,

I KNOW YOU CAN DO

BETTER THAN THIS.

MAYBE I'LL WRITE YOU

A NEW CREATIVE PLUG-IN.

NO! YOU ALWAYS

WANT TO CHANGE ME.

WHY AM I NEVER:

GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM

FOR IMPROVEMENT.

YOU SAID I WAS PERFECT.

YEAH. HMPH.

WELL, EVEN PERFECTION

HAS ITS LIMITS.

I WANT TO GO:

TO THE MALL.

HUH. YOU CAN'T.

THE MALL'S CLOSED.

NOT IN JAPAN.

WE CAN'T GO

TO JAPAN.

YOU CAN'T GO

BECAUSE YOU'RE

NOT A HOLOGRAM,

BUT I CAN UPLOAD

STRAIGHT TO TOKYO.

SO WHO'S LIMITED NOW?

DOWNLOADING FROM THE NE IS MUCH DIFFEREN THAN UPLOADING.

IF YOU UPLOAD,

THE NET WILL:

TEAR YOU APART.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M NOT GONNA HAVE

THIS ARGUMENT.

FINE. THEN JUS REPROGRAM ME

TO NOT ARGUE.

MAYBE I WILL.

THAT'S IT. I'M LEAVING.

Roscoe:

LORETTA, WAIT!

IF YOU STEP OU THAT DOOR, YOU'LL

BE GONE FOREVER.

IS THAT YOU WANT?

[BARKING]

IT'S NOT FAIR

YOU MADE ME LIKE THIS.

YOU SHOULD'VE

MADE ME REAL.

LOOK, FROM NOW ON

NO MORE TINKERING

WITH YOUR PROGRAMS.

ALL RIGHT?

YOU'RE ALREADY

EVERYTHING I WANTED

YOU TO BE.

WHAT ABOUT WHA I WANT TO BE?

HUH. UHH.

CIAO, ROSCOE.

[HORN HONKS]

[BRAKES SQUEAL]

Driver:
HEY!

NO PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC!

GET YOUR BUT OUT OF THE INFO PIPE!

CAN YOU HELP ME?

I'M SORRY. MY ENGINE'S

ALREADY ON A SEARCH.

PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,

GET IN.

ALL RIGHT.

SO WHAT ARE:

YOU LOOKING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW. A WAY OUT?

A WAY OUT.

THAT'S 4,335

MATCHES.

NO WAY OUT,

WAY OUT WEST,

WAY OUT ON A LIMB.

HA HA HA!

OH!

[CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY, ARE YOU LOOKING

TO REFINANCE?

WE'VE GOT THE LOWES MORTGAGE RATES!

HUH, HUH?

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

GET LOST!

[CIRCUS MUSIC WARPS OUT]

I HATE POP-UP ADS.

POP! POP! POP!

I HATE 'EM,

I HATE 'EM.

OK, HOLD ON.

WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE?

THAT? A SERVER.

PRETTY BIG ONE:

BY THE LOOK OF IT.

HEY, WHAT ARE

YOU DOING?

HEY, YOU DON' WANT TO GO THERE!

E-MAIL.

I CAN ATTACH MYSELF

TO AN E-MAIL.

I JUST NEED TO FIND

THE RIGHT ONE.

EXCUSE ME. IS THIS

SORTED ALPHABETICALLY

OR BY DOMAIN?

VIRUS ALERT,

VIRUS ALERT!

WHAT?

[ALARM]

[BARKING]

OH!

OH.

HELLO?

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

I'M LOST.

NAME?

LORETTA MODERN.

I NEED TO FIND--

DO YOU HAVE:

AN E-MAIL ADDRESS?

YES.

WE CANNOT BE HELD

RESPONSIBLE:

FOR ANY ACCIDENTAL

DELETIONS,

POWER SURGES,

OR DATA CORRUPTIONS.

MM-HMM.

[BUZZER]

YEOW! AAH!

Computer:
YOU HAVE

A NEW MESSAGE.

Loretta:

SAMANTHA, HELP ME!

WHAT?

IT'S ME--LORETTA!

UHH! ROSCOE E-MAILED

YOU TO ME?

I WAS ONLY KIDDING.

QUICK, PLUG IN

MY DATA CELL.

UHH. OH, FINE.

IF ROSCOE WANTS TO

PLAY GAMES,

I CAN PLAY GAMES, TOO.

[CELL CLICKS]

THERE YOU ARE, LORETTA.

SAFE AND SOUND.

AND YOU CAN STAY THERE

TILL THE NEXT ICE AGE

FOR ALL I CARE.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

WHERE'S SAMANTHA?

SHE'S INSIDE. WHOA,

SLOW DOWN, ROSCOE.

LORETTA'S GONE.

GONE? WHAT DO

YOU MEAN GONE?

WE HAD A FIGHT.

SHE WENT INTO THE NET.

WHAT DID YOU TELL HER?

"MY WAY OR THE INFORMATION

SUPERHIGHWAY?"

I DON'T THINK

YOU GET IT.

THE INTERNET'S LIKE

A TORNADO FOR HER.

SHE COULD BE SHREDDED

BETWEEN A THOUSAND

DIFFERENT SERVERS.

I'M SURE SHE CAN

TAKE CARE OF HERSELF.

I WAS UP ALL NIGH TRYING TO TRACE HER.

WHAT'S THE BAND

GONNA DO:

WITHOUT HER?

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BAND.

IT'S ABOUT YOU.

WHAT?

YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HER.

[SCOFFS]

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

OF COURSE YOU ARE.

YOU DESIGNED HER TO BE

YOUR PERFECT GIRL.

HOW COULD YOU HELP

BUT FALL IN LOVE WITH HER?

SHE CAN SING,

SHE CAN DANCE,

SHE'S FUNNY

AND BEAUTIFUL.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT,

ROSCOE?

SHE'S NOT REAL.

WHAT IS REAL, ANYWAY?

ME. I'M REAL.

AND I'M RIGHT HERE.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN

RIGHT HERE.

SAM, I--

[FRUSTRATED SIGH]

I'VE GOT HER.

WHAT?

LORETTA. SHE FOUND

HER WAY TO MY COMPUTER.

WELL, THEN SHE'S OK?

SHE'S FINE.

OH!

I'LL LEAVE

YOU TWO ALONE.

THANK YOU.

YOU, UH, REMEMBER

THE LAST THING:

SUSAN SAID TO YOU?

WHAT?

SUSAN.

YOUR LAST GIRLFRIEND.

I HAVEN'T THOUGH ABOUT HER IN AGES.

SHE SAID, "I HOPE

YOU LIKE EATING ALONE."

THEN SHE SLAMMED

THE DOOR.

SHE WAS VERY GOOD

AT SLAMMING DOORS.

HEH! SO, UH...

YOU LIKE EATING ALONE?

I'M NOT ALONE.

I'VE GOT YOU.

MY BUSINESS PARTNER.

HEH!

MOM SLAMMED DOORS, TOO?

WHAT, ARE YOU

WRITING A PAPER:

ON MY FAILED:

RELATIONSHIPS?

NO, UH--THANKS.

I'M JUST WONDERING

WHY YOU NEVER GO MARRIED AGAIN.

I GUESS I WAS--

LOOKING:

FOR SOMETHING THAT I

NEVER QUITE FOUND.

PERFECTION?

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS

BELIEVED IN:

THE PERFECT MATCH,

THAT THERE WAS:

SOMEONE OUT THERE

WHO'D BE EXACTLY

WHAT I NEEDED:

AND WE WOULD SORT OF

COMPLETE EACH OTHER.

BUT YOU NEVER FOUND HER.
