Short Circuit Page #5

Did you get a piece of ash?

So, of course nobody's going to sell

her a spare tire...

after what we just told

them happened to us.

Especially the way

she was telling them.

And she was trying to convince

them I wasn't a bad driver...

which I'm not.

But, she was doing it by telling

them how thin the road is.

You know, and how curvy and

how many rocks there were...

and how big

and sharp they are.

And all the time I know

what these people are thinking.

They gotta drive down

the same road...

- Sir?

- Yes, sir?

Sir?

Oh, my goodness gracious!

It can't shoot us with

that laser, can it?

I am not knowing.

- Would he kill me if I stopped?

- Who is to say?

Would he kill me

if I don't stop?

Again I am shrugging.

I'm stopping.

Good choice.

Number Five furious,

livid, perturbed.

Hold it right there.

Colt 45.

Semi automatic.

Play Doh.

What do we do now?

I don't know about you, but

I'm planning to scream and run.

Good answer.

What is he doing?

There it goes

Very good.

You earned that one.

Hi, honey!

What is for dinner?

Bingo!

Practice, Easy Three,

to third and fourth.

Lucky's seventh and

Pacer in the rear.

Now it's Double Trouble making

a move on the outside rail...

and Practice right behind.

Jimmy's Folly is calling...

That's the serpent and the devil...

same on him.

And the devil is the...

Ready, aim!

What happened?

I hope you took the grass

out of the glove compartment.

Anything wrong, officer?

There's gotta be a logical

explanation for all of this.

Maybe, if it was programmed

to think it was alive...

then it could act alive.

Maybe you've created another

Frankfurter's monster.

Do I look like the kind of a man

who can actually hear his...

Howard I think that something

incredible is going on.

What's going on is that we've

got a red alert on your hands?

No, it's not dangerous.

We just have to find

Number Five, get some answers.

There's only one answer.

All right, blast it off the

face of the earth, right?

Doctor... how many kids you got?

None.

Well, let me tell you

something, Doctor.

I got three of them.

Three dandy little Schroeders.

And I want them to be adults,

not barbecued.

So don't you give me

any of your bullshit.

That having been said, I think

I've got to alert the media.

Now Schroeder's going to handle

this from now on...

and you stay

at your terminal.

Howard, this is ridiculous.

Think of it as

a full-scale field test.

Leave your terminal and

you're out of a job.

Howard, we are going to have

to put up some roadblocks...

and I'm going to

need some Hueys.

Some what?

Helicopters, Howard.

Jesus Christ!

- I thought they were choppers.

- Now they're called Hueys.

Well, why wasn't I notified?

Okay, this is the plan...

- Stephanie Speck.

- Yes.

We're from KJMB News.

Can you please tell us something

about the Nova robot?

- Were you scared?

- No, no.

Did he try to molest

you in any way?

No, he's not that kind

of a robot.

Do you know that there's a $25

thousand reward for anyone that turns it in?

No, I don't know anything

about it.

I don't know where he is.

Please, leave me alone.

Why didn't you go

to the police?

You know where it is.

For 25 thousand dollars I'm damn

well going to know where it is too.

Frank?

Is that you, Frank?

I'm warning you,

I'm armed and dangerous.

Disguise, camouflage. Hi!

Number Five!

You got away?

Yep.

You can't stay here!

They'll find you!

Stephanie.

Changed color.

Attractive,

nice software.

You sure don't talk

like a machine.

Alive, Stephanie.

Number Five alive.

Yes, I know you think

you're alive...

but those guys who built

you say no way.

I don't know what

to think anymore.

I know it's not safe

for you here.

Go on.

Get out of here. Go on!

Solitude, isolation. Alone.

Number Five, come on!

Lonely bum.

Number five, please.

If I went to jail, who would

take care of my animals?

You sure wouldn't.

What are you doing?

"A can of soup.

A meal in itself."

All right, you can stay,

but just for tonight.

Excellent.

If they catch you

I don't know you.

You got it.

Okay, Ben, let's do it.

This is the very first vehicle

I've stolen in the US of A.

Me, too. It's kind of exciting,

Isn't it?

With excitement like this,

who is needing enemas?

Look Ben, we're doing

the right thing.

If they trash Number Five, we'll

never find out what happened.

Dr. Marner!

I knew you would try this.

You're not going

to make it, fellas.

There are soldiers out there

with bazooka's and choppers...

or whatever the hell

they call them now.

We've got to try anyway. You're

a scientist, you understand.

I'm a business man.

I'm not a scientist anymore.

Damn you, Howard.

chauffeured us in this situation.

Well, times have changed.

Because that was then

and this is now.

All right, now come on.

Let's get back upstairs.

What the heck, Newton.

Let us punch the sack.

Tomorrow is the next day.

No.

No.

No. I'm going.

Howard, shoot me

if you have to.

Don't think I won't.

Come on, Howard,

you know you're bluffing.

Lord Rama, Lord Rama.

Lord Rama,

Lord Rama, grant my wish.

All right, I'm bluffing.

Ok, thank you. Come on, Ben,

let's get out of here.

Right. Very good.

It doesn't matter anyway, the

doors are electronically sealed.

Don't be too sure.

Then you'll have

to drive over me.

That's the way

it's gotta be.

This is going to be

very messy.

This is how I get

the big bucks.

Yeah.

Oh, very good.

Great.

Oh! Hey, thanks.

Okay, turn off the TV.

- It's time for bed.

- No.

No, turn off the TV.

It's time for bed.

Come on Steph, lighten up.

Let's give it a whirl.

- Hey!

- Ya!

- Listen, you, it's three a.m.

- It's early.

I mean, don't you ever

get enough?

Wrestling, roller derby,

Jimmy Swaggert...

The Three Stooges.

Give it a rest, will ya?

Larry, Curly, Moe.

Hey, know what?

You're not a bad dancer.

Dancing fool.

- Big finish.

- Right.

And then I'm going to bed

and in the morning...

you have to find yourself

a new home.

This home.

Stephanie home.

Number Five home.

Oh, Number Five, you don't know

what you're saying.

Number Five know.

"More than a woman."

"More than a woman to me."

Oh, Number Five.

"More than a woman to me."

I'll croon

A little song

About the moon

And when I'm finished

With my crooning

On my knees I'll fall

My life, my love, my all

Okay, to make these

golden fluffy pancakes...

add flour, milk...

and eggs.

Mix thoroughly.

Still lumpy.

Marvelous.

For crisp, yet moist

potatoes...

brown on one side,

then turn over.

This will be

some good slop.

Is something burning?

- Morning.

- Oh! Number Five!

- Good morning.

- Sleep well?

You're making me breakfast,

aren't you?

Pancakes surprise.

Oh, Number Five,

you're so sweet.

Oh, no.

It's the revenge

of the Mutations.

Listen, why don't you turn that

stove off and I'll be right back.

Wait!

It'll get cold.

What are you

doing here, creep?

Oh, good morning.

I saw you on TV last night
