Short Circuit Page #2

Ah... Here it comes...

Here it comes...

And...

Bingo!

Good lord!

It is outside the fence!

Oh, and that is not

the worst of it, Dr. Marner.

Don't tell me its laser is still armed.

Bimbo!

Crosby, what's he going to do?

Howard, it's hard to say.

It's malfunctioning.

It might not do anything.

But it could decide to blow away

anything that moves. Couldn't it?

Couldn't it, Crosby?

Oh, my God. It's not coming back.

We've got to destroy it.

No. Howard, you're

overreacting. You can't...

Look, let us at least try to catch it first.

Ya, we'll panic later, OK?

What if you don't catch it. What if it goes

out and melts down a bus load of nuns...

How would you like to

write the headline on that one?

- Nun soup?

- Ben!

- Howard.

- What?

OK, it's malfunctioning. Think about it.

- What about function?

- Alright, look...

Why don't you get your

team together and Skroeder,

Duke, Otis!

- And detain number 5 the best you can...

- Alright, Howard.

- and still avoid an incident.

- I'm already moving.

And Skroeder,

You understand

you don't have to blow it up.

You don't have to blow it up, Skroeder.

Just try and bring it back in one piece.

- One piece will do.

Whatever it takes to put that stupid

contraption out of commission, gentlemen,

- that's what you do.

- Yes sir.

Give inertial status...

Let's scramble one, maybe it'll listen

to what comes with a decoder.

What is this?

Running diagnostics.

Testing its logic circuits.

Let's just bounce on off its magnesium

casing. What do you think, I don't know.

What is this? Input, Input, Input...

Come on...

Let's boot it up.

See if you can boot it.

Return to D-Station...

Come on. Now!

Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?

Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?

What is going on?

I don't know,

must be the print scanner...

- it must be reading it some place.

- I'm not understanding the reference

Need input.

Input.

- Did you see something?

- Oh God... I hope not.

- Well, I saw something.

- Ya, me too.

Oh sh*t!

It's right outside.

- Captain Skroeder, Captain Skroeder

This is Bravo 4, over.

Skroeder, what have you got, over.

He's right in front of us, sir, we're

on the bridge out on 101, over.

We're on our way.

Loose it and you're dead meat.

- It's going berserk.

- Ben, how'd this happen?

Who is knowing how to read

the mind of a robot?

Weeeeee!

I am not cut out for this!

You did this, Crosby...

- Howard!

- so you wouldn't have to talk to those people.

Just calm down.

Excuse me, sir, but we're loosing

its signal. It's going out of range.

We're going to have to follow it now.

Can I get a vehicle? Can I get...

- Howard, is there a van or anything like that?

- Of course there's a van!

Thanks for calling me, Mrs. Cepeda,

where's that son of a b*tch?

He's around the bend and up

to no good, you better believe it.

Get the hell down here, Beasley!

- Hey!

- What are you doing home?

This is my home! It's not

your home. I live here.

What are you doing with Beasley?

Uh... well, darn it, you know

he looked kind of sick to me so I thought...

I'd just take him down to the vet

and fix him up a bit.

He doesn't look sick, you look sick.

What did you come back

here for anyway?

Well, to tell you the truth, I thought that

maybe we could patch things up.

Sort of pick up where we left off.

You know you want me back.

What is this?

Quinn's Medical Research? You slime bag!

The dog is on its last legs.

That's very funny. Why don't

you get the hell out of here!

You know what I figure?

I figure you owe me some money.

- So I'm just here to collect.

- I owe you?

- That's right.

- I supported you.

That was my money you used

to buy your big red dorkmobile!

No! Damn it!

Hey! Hey!

- Do not do that car!

- Get away from me!

Alright. If this is your idea of playing

hard to get, you can knock it off now.

You mutation!

- God damn it! Don't ever call me that!

- You don't even know what it means!

Ya, well, I can find out!

Hey! You! You leave her alone!

- Oh, God!

- Oh honey!

- Are you OK, honey?

- Ya.

- Are you sure?

- Ya, I'm fine.

And I thought he

was going to be a nice one.

- Different from the other ones.

- Ya right!

- Well, he sure was better looking.

- Well, looks aren't everything.

I know that.

Every time I look at Mr. Cepeda.

Honey, listen,

I hate to tell you this but a...

the man from the city...

he was snooping around again.

I told them all this was temporary.

It's just until I can find homes for them.

Well, he says that four years

is not too temporary.

He was going to call the sheriff on you.

Oh, great!

Maybe the sheriff would like a pet?

Beasley. Beasley come to me, baby.

Good Beasley!

Beasley, come here.

Did he scare you?

Did he scare you, honey?

I'm sorry.

I feel like I've been cooped up

inside this lab forever.

Well, it's an opportunity

to spread your legs.

Good to smell the breezes, hum?

Has it changed much out there?

Oh, yes, you can say that two times.

Hey! Hey! Come on you guys!

Come on, get points!

Skroeder's coming up empty!

We're on our way, Howard,

to the great outdoors.

Newton, you know what is out there

in the great outdoors?

Girls. Ummm.

With brassieres and legs.

You have the working knowledge the girl?

No, but I read about them.

Well then... maybe I can furnish you

with some schematic drawings.

All right.

Hey! Who told you could

take Number One?

Howard, logically, if we need

protection from Number Five...

this is the best weapon

we could have.

Great, great!

So, instead of $11 million on the loose...

we're going to have

twenty-two.

And plus, we are needing

gas money.

I'm sorry.

I just...

I have to draw the line

at snakes.

Ya, I'm sure it would make

a wonderful pet, but...

wait, isn't there a home

for cobras somewhere?

Can you hang on

for a second?

Can I call you right back?

Thanks.

Hey! Get out of there!

Frank?

Mr. Scumo!

I know you're in there.

Get out! Get out!

I'll call the cops.

What?

Are you deaf?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! I knew they'd

pick me. I just knew it.

Hello.

Well, I guess...

welcome to my planet.

Oh boy! Is this thrilling or what?

Don't be scared.

I'm a friend.

Friend?

Do you know

the word "friend"?

Because that's what I am.

I'm a friend.

So, here I come.

Nice and extremely friendly.

Hi.

It's me.

So, this is earth.

I'm Stephanie.

Speck.

No offense, but...

is that really you or is that

like a space suit...

and you're inside some place,

maybe just your brain...

in a little jar

or something like that?

- Malfunction.

- You can talk!

Malfunction.

Need input.

Input.

That's information.

Listen, I am full of it.

Why don't you come to my house

and we can sit down and talk...

get to know each other.

Communicate. Input.

Come on.

It's okay.

No, no.

I mean come with me.

Come here. This way.

Come here.

Come on. Right this way.

March! Heel! Giddy up!

- Forward!

- Forward!
