Short Circuit Page #8

God damn it!

I am sick and tired of listening

to this technical bullshit.

Shut up, Schroeder,

I'll handle this.

He's stalling.

Crosby, we're going to have to

ask you to surrender the robot.

No!

- Stat?

- Stat!

- What does that mean anyway?

- I don't know.

But that is not the point.

We need that robot.

Howard, listen...

I know what

the malfunction is.

Sorry, Crosby...

we can't take any more chances.

We're not losing that thing again.

Howard, if you'd just come over

and inspect the unit...

You're all such

a bunch of liars!

As soon as they're clear,

open fire!

What have you done?

- Schroeder!

- I'll take care of this.

No, you're not taking over.

Now listen...

Banzai!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

He's alive! He's alive!

Call them off, Howard.

You're making the biggest

mistake in history!

He's alive! I can prove it.

No, look, it's okay.

He's going to make it!

No!

Number Five!

Oh, my God.

Get me out of here.

Magnificent! Magnificent!

Now that, my friend,

is how you kick ass!

Years of research are down the tube

and you're happy as a pig in slop.

Just doing my job, sir.

Maybe from now on you can

do it somewhere else.

Are you going to be okay?

I don't think so.

Not for a while.

I'm sorry you lost your job.

But I'm really glad you quit Nova.

- What will you do now?

- I don't know yet.

My dad left me a few

acres up in Montana.

I hear it's beautiful there

this time of year.

Great idea!

I say we cruise on up there

and check it out.

Hi, honey! I'm home!

Number Five?

Pull over, pull over,

quick, pull over!

- Number Five!

- Stephanie!

It's so good to see you.

I thought they blew you up.

Counterfeit. facsimile.

Replica!

He made a duplicate of himself

from all these spare parts.

That's incredible!

This guy's a genius!

Above average.

Oh, Number Five, you are great!

You're outstandingly great!

What's our next move?

Come on, let's do as he says.

We'll go to Montana.

Ya!

I got forty acres up there.

Great for him to hide out...

Soak up input.

I don't know. I have

responsibilities here.

- What about my animals?

- Come on, Stephanie.

Wait a minute.

Did you say forty acres?

Listen, do you like animals?

Yeah. How many animals

are we talking about?

Great. I drive, you two

work this out.

Number five stupid name.

- Want to be Kevin or Dave.

- Just watch the road, okay?

Maybe Johnny. Yeah.

Johnny Five. That's cool.

Gimme five.
