GPS locating Robosapien test run

Robosapien test

now in progress,

T-minus three minutes,

26 seconds.

Executive command,

you have visual.

Operation Robo Rescue

on your mark.

Robo position...

100 yards from base.

Come on, little buddy.

Make Daddy proud.

Robosapien has reached

the perimeter of the base.

Operation time, 5:52.

On it, sir. On it.

Sir, I'll be right there.

Eagle One, proceed

to hangar seven-alpha.

Oops.

Did you hear that?

Move it

to that carrier.

What was that?

...look on his face?

He won't be doing that again.

No way.

Whoa. Ai yi yi yi yi yi yi.

Hmm? Ohh.

Have no fear.

Robosapien is here.

Ooh, sorry. My bad.

Robosapien has confirmed

location of target.

We have a level-five

security breach.

- Repeat, level five...

- I think you've been detected.

Please, don't hurt him.

All hands

- to emergency stations.

- Hold on tight.

I'm stronger than I look.

Unauthorized chopper

entering airspace at hangar seven.

Run, run, run!

Go! Jump!

Yes.

This is KT-1.

Robo and rescue

safe and secure.

Heading back

to Kinetech.

Whoo-hoo!

Mission accomplished.

Robo out.

They have Robosapien.

He's safe, sir.

Good.

Robosapien, Admiral,

can deliver everything

anywhere, anytime.

It's an amazing piece

of technology, son,

and it is going

to revolutionize...

- Nice going.

- ...search and rescue.

Well, thank you

so much, sir.

I was a little nervous

giving him a test so soon.

But it worked.

You're a genius, Allan.

So, Admiral,

what does this all mean?

Well, I need to head

back to the base

and deal with

a level-five security breach,

and then I need

to talk to the brass

about buying your robots.

Excellent.

So, Admiral, how long? How long...

Ah, I'd say about six months.

It's exciting.

Brace yourselves.

You know this stuff takes time.

Henry! Get a move on!

We'll be late!

In a minute!

- Weather.

- Good morning, Henry.

Weirdo.

Look out the window.

Align panel.

Declination plus 28 degrees,

42 minutes.

Right ascension,

eight hours, 13 minutes.

I mean it! Hurry up!

Henry!

Okay, coming!

Yeah.

Security mode.

System armed.

Remember, Mom,

the Science Bowl regionals, 5:00.

Wait.

The regionals are today?

You forgot.

Oh, honey,

I'm so sorry.

I got to work

late today.

That's okay.

You know what?

Maybe Meagan can go.

Right.

I'd rather

throw up and die.

I'm sorry, honey,

but I promise,

I'll be there next time.

Come on, you guys.

I hope we can fix my car

this year, Mom.

No hood. No doors.

It's so embarrassing.

Henry, you're supposed to be

sweeping these leaves.

I had to do the science project.

You know that.

And, Meagan,

I told you to water these plants.

Mom, they've been dead for,

like, a year.

Yeah, well, they're dead

because you're not taking care of them.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Good morning, Loretta.

You made that look easy.

All right, keep your eyes on the road.

Let's go. Come on.

Hey, don't forget

your science project.

- Bye, Mom.

- Bye, sweetheart.

I know you're

going to do great.

Good luck.

- You're going to need it.

- Meagan.

Yawn...

oxygen intake.

Virtual signs

show fatigue.

Brain function

slowing.

You are tired,

Allan.

Yes, I am, and thank you

for noticing.

Do you require a caffeine fix?

Espresso?

That, I do, little buddy.

Make it a double.

Thank you. Whoa.

You need a spouse,

Allan.

Statistics show

that married men

outsurvive single men

by four to one.

Hey! And, hey,

Robosapien,

you might as well

go by lab seven

and have them change

your ball bearings.

Right after I get the 411

on that new receptionist.

No problemo.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

- Excuse me, Mr. Porter.

- "No problemo"?

- Mr. Porter.

- Allan.

- You're just in time.

- What for?

In every

single department,

Robosapien exceeded

our own expectations.

His new artificial intelligence

allows him to maximize

his initial programming.

See, increases his ability

to learn

from his environment.

Robosapien can

rationalize human emotion.

He is learning to feel.

Allan, it's a robot.

We don't need it

to feel.

No feely-feely.

We'll continue

this conversation later.

Yeah. Niles Porter.

- But you...

- Uh-huh.

Looking good, Sarah.

Good morning,

Robosapien.

Hey, hey.

It's my man Tony.

You're looking

especially shiny today, Robo.

Hey. Cmo ests, Raul?

Muy bien.

Y t, Robosapien?

No complaints here,

amigo.

- Pow!

- Pow!

Sweet.

Hey, Carol.

You free Saturday?

Allan's got an opening.

Kinetech Industries,

the world's leader

in robotic research,

is proud to introduce

Robosapien,

a fully integrated

search-and-rescue technowonder.

The supermobile Robosapien

can travel the world,

bringing food,

resources, first aid,

and anything necessary

to help the masses

in their time of need.

Kinetech's Robosapien

is preprogrammed

in all aspects of global

search and rescue.

Now just imagine

when we command it

for search and destroy.

Instead of medicine,

it will now carry nerve gas

or maybe

a nuclear weapon.

Interesting.

When can I have

a demonstration?

Now this is our

first waterproof model, Esperanza,

very rudimentary.

Just activate it,

Porter.

Yes, of course.

Of course.

Command...

search and destroy.

Here we go.

Robo is turbo-swimming

to the boat.

The bomb's been placed.

He's returning

safely to shore.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

- Impressive.

- I know.

I'll place

an order for 100.

- When will they be ready?

- At the end of the week.

- A down payment.

- Sure.

75 million as agreed,

with the remainder upon

a final demonstration.

Good.

What? What happened?

Hey, is everyone

all right?

Everybody's fine!

It was a little test.

This is Allan Topher,

the creator of Robosapien down there.

Congratulations, Mr. Topher.

You have created

an amazing weapon.

It will be a pleasure

doing business with you.

- Porter, I'll be back...

- Thank you.

- ...at the end of the week.

- See you.

He said, "Weapon,"

Mr. Porter!

It's not

your concern, Allan.

- It is my concern!

- No, it's not.

What are you doing

with Robosapien?

I didn't design him

to be a weapon.

He's a search

and rescue machine

designed to save lives,

not destroy them.

He's starting

to develop emotionally.

It's a machine,

aluminum alloys.

No, these are more

than a machine.

- Little microchips.

- You don't understand.

Tiny, little

thingamabobbers.

Have you ever just

looked into his optics?

I am so tired

of arguing with you.

I'm not going to argue

with you anymore.

- I'm letting you go.

- What?

You're fired.

Yeah. Clean out your desk.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Thanks for coming.

Bye-bye.

Go. Go. Erasers,

pencils, all of it.

Go on.

I... oh.

...solar system,

Saturn,

Uranus, Neptune,

and Pluto.

- Nice solar system.

- Thanks.

Did you know

this one, Pluto,

yeah, it's not a planet anymore.

There's only eight.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Eight, nine.

You know, you're close.

I'll stick it back.

Or not.
