Robots Page #5

- Yes?

- Give up.

What? You're telling me to quit?

I said "give up,"

but "quit" works just as good.

Is that what you did?

Is that why you're sitting here...

...letting Ratchet turn robots

like my father into outmodes?

Kid, sometimes you just gotta know

when you're licked.

But you're Bigweld.

You can fix anything.

I used to think so.

To me, having the company

was all about making life better.

With Ratchet, it was making money

that came first.

I became old-fashioned, an outmode.

Go home, kid.

If he beat me, he's gonna beat you.

The world you're looking for

no longer exists. You missed it.

Find some other foolish dream.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm very, very...

...very busy.

Yeah, I can see that.

All I ever wanted

was to grow up to be like him.

Help. Open the door.

Open the door.

Close the door. Close the door!

Wow, look at all these parts.

It's a smorgasbord.

Look at that. So many things

I've wanted all my life.

Oh, that's pretty.

Okay, Mother, this way.

Let me look, please. I can't bear it.

No peeking, now. It's a surprise.

Oh, you are a wicked boy.

And look.

- For me?

- It's got a full tank of gas.

If you're ready to mow,

she's ready to go.

Has any mother ever had a better son?

By the way, I found out

who's been fixing those outmodes.

So tomorrow, these babies...

...are gonna chop him up

along with all his buddies...

...and every other walking pile of junk

I'm sick of looking at.

What's that?

This is so wrong. This is so wrong.

Help. Help!

Rivet Town, please. One-way.

Hi, Mom.

Oh, I'm doing fine. How are you?

- And Dad?

- He's right here. I'll put him on.

Hey, buddy, how's it going?

Hey, Dad. How are you feeling?

Oh, fine, fine. I...

I've just been a little

under the weather.

No, we're just having a little trouble...

...finding your old man

a replacement part, that's all.

But let's talk about you.

What kind of work are you doing?

What's Bigweld like?

Did you meet him?

Yeah, I met him, but...

What's wrong, son?

It's not how we thought it was, Dad.

It's not... I can't...

I see.

- I'm really sorry I let you down.

- No, no, no.

You could never let me down, Rodney.

Listen, I know it isn't easy, Rodney...

...but a dream

that you don't fight for...

...can haunt you

for the rest of your life.

Yeah, Dad.

It's up to you, son.

- Your father loves you very much.

- I know.

With our Friends and Family plan, you

can talk to him 500 minutes a month.

Free nights and weekends.

Yoo-hoo, Rodney!

Wait.

- Your suitcase.

- Thanks, Aunt Fanny, but I'm...

The others wanted to come

and see you off too.

Well, why didn't they?

Oh, they did.

Next time, let's split a cab.

Who the heck is she?

I used to have a figure like that.

Hurry, come on.

One ticket to anywhere.

Fender?

I have a sister.

An ugly sister.

Hey, guess what. It's the sweepers.

They're rounding up outmodes

and taking them... What "them"? Us.

- to Madame Gasket's chop shop.

- And guess who's really behind it all.

- Ratchet.

You don't wanna guess?

I ran all this way in heels.

- Come on, take a stab.

- Ratchet.

Ratchet! Listen to me. Listen to me.

- We won't last a week.

- Okay, okay. Settle down. I got a plan.

- Let's all get on that train.

- Come on.

Hey, wait a minute.

You're all giving up?

- You started it.

- Well, I'm ending it.

My mistake was hoping that Bigweld

would fight our battles.

Well, he won't. It's up to us.

If we don't do something

about Ratchet, no one will.

Come on, let's fight back.

Fighting never solved anything.

Quitting isn't so productive either.

I gotta tell you.

It's the big boy.

Oh, be still, my pump.

Kid, if you're gonna fight,

I'm going in with you.

You... You are?

Hey, who's the dame

with the sweet keister?

- But why?

- I don't know.

I'm a big guy,

and I like women with large...

No, no, no.

Why are you gonna help us?

Because I wanna grow up

to be like you.

Then let's do it.

Come on, gang. Let's give

that Ratchet an old-school fix-it!

Oh, what a man.

Someone get a crane.

Mother, I'm an adult, okay?

So stop telling me how to kill Bigweld.

I'm doing it today...

...how I want, where I want

and with whatever I want.

Okay, boardroom, 10 minutes.

I want you both there.

Mr. Bigweld, should we come too?

No, no. You stay here...

...and watch Daddy's limo.

- Yes, sir.

I'm going inside to kick some booty.

Hey, you know,

your boyfriend here is a genius.

- What?

- Oh, he's not my... He is?

I am?

Thanks for still believing in me.

It's good to be home. Toodley-oodley!

I use the Brazilian wax. It makes me

feel like every day's a fiesta.

Tell Mr. Ratchet his 10:00 is here.

I'm all over it. Yes, sir.

Mr. Bigweld, sir.

Mr. Bigweld, sir.

Oh, Mr. Bigweld.

No, no. Tell him I'm not here.

- Tell him anything, just don't let him in.

- Ratchet!

- I'll cut to the point.

- What happened?

Run out of dominoes?

I'll send you more.

- You're fired!

- Fired? On what grounds?

This company's

never been more profitable.

Profit, schmofit. Now, get out.

No, wait, please listen to me.

You can't do this to me.

This job is my life.

It means everything to me.

You don't know

what I've done to get here.

The lies I've told. The lives I've ruined.

This isn't helping me.

- Get me security.

- Wait, please.

Can't I just make

one more heartfelt plea?

Okay, what did you wanna say?

That.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm as crazy as my mother.

Take that fish to the chop shop

and put my name on his parking space.

Let go of him.

Sure. Listen, kid, it's over. You lost.

Bigweld is gonna be melted down

into next season's upgrades...

...along with you,

your moronic coffeepot and Cappy.

Such a waste.

Mr. Bigweld, are you okay?

I'm the prettiest girl

at the Harvest Moon Ball.

I'll take that as a "no. "

Out of the way!

Rodney.

Road trip! Road trip! Road trip!

You guys are so embarrassing.

Oh, that's Rodney.

He's in some kind of trouble.

I've gotta repair him.

Okay, I got your back.

Come on, we've gotta help Rodney.

- No, Piper, you stay here.

- No way.

Let's be honest. We're headed

for a huge butt-whupping.

Whatever happens to us,

make something of yourself.

You're the only thing

I've got to leave behind. Goodbye!

He's right, Piper.

They're headed

for a huge butt-whupping.

Okay, got it!

Rodney, what's going on?

Where are we?

It's okay. You're all right.

Okay, boys, we got them

right where they want us.

Boost me up.

Watch your hands down there.

Rodney! We're here to save you!

How do you think it's going so far?

The plug.

Hold on, guys!

I gotta get to the other side.

We're out of here!

The chop shop.

- That's it. Game over.

- The game is not over.

This is our moment to shine.

This is where you show

what you're really made of.

In my case, it's a rare metal.

It's called "afraidium. "

It's yellow. It tastes like chicken.

I didn't know I could do that.

Rodney's right.
