Short Circuit 2 Page #2

Arey.

Benny, I'd like you to meet

your production staff.

They're fast learners, they're hard workers.

Minimum wage.

Here's your budget

for tools and parts and all that.

I promised our staff a three-course dinner.

Got my favorite table

reserved at McDonald's.

Excuse me.

How are you obtaining

this financial funding?

A little muscle, a whole lot of hustle.

Everybody get a watch?

I got a watch.

-You like McNuggets?

-Who is he?

Trust me.

I don't believe it.

Well, this is just great!

Well, this is just great!

Who the hell are they?

Nobody's supposed to be here.

Slow down, Saunders.

I knew I should have

stayed away from this.

So leave!

Go back to your two-bit computer scam

you were doing so good.

All right.

-How much time do we need?

-You gotta be kidding.

We're not past the utility lines yet.

The soil density is lower than I thought.

We'll have to shore every five feet.

There's no way we'll get

to the jewels before--

How much time?

If we have to stop digging

for more than five days...

...we'll never make it in time.

We have to get them out of here,

or we can kiss those diamonds good-bye.

Benny, where did you get the idea for this?

No.

Split conductor cable, remember?

Before I arrived in this city,

I was working in Oregon...

...for Nova Robotics.

My friend Newton Crosby and I

designed and built...

...the real Number Five robot.

Unfortunately, the military got hold of him

and decided to use him...

...as a weapon of death and destruction.

You were making these things for real?

And now you're making toys for a living?

Well, the real Number Five,

he malfunctioned and....

Well, let us just say

that we were separated from our jobs.

When you complete this robot,

we will have 25.

Voila, my man.

Number 25.

Excuse me, sir, but we are not open

to the public. Hello. Can l--

Hey, come on now, guys!

You're jumping the gun here.

Arnold said I got 29 more days.

Hey, watch the silk!

Come on, let's do it!

No, sir, please don't touch that!

No, please don't leave!

Don't forget the circuit tester.

Not the circuit tester!

Oh, now, Fred, get up! You're chicken?

You must learn to defend yourself.

But who would do this

to struggling business persons...

...like us?

-I thought it was somebody I knew.

-No, wait, sir!

Now we are un-employers.

We still have the robot parts and the van.

I'll get a new staff together.

But we have no more money.

And now we're having no equipment.

To assemble robots with our naked hands

would be slower than...

...than moles' asses in January.

Benny? You're leaving me with my back

to the wall here.

We gotta come up with something!

Not possible. We're the type of people...

...who have everything going against us.

Look. How about this? How about we...

...go to the lady at Simpson's

and we beg for an advance?

I mean, we go in there and we grovel.

We look really pathetic.

Mountain Lion Air Freight.

We got a delivery for you.

Oh, yeah?

We've had enough deliveries

for one day, pal.

Mr. Benjamin Jarvee, right?

Jahrvi.

We should leave it out here or what?

Leave it out there.

It's for you. Who even knows you're here?

I have only told my friends in Montana.

I've never seen that happen before.

What the hell is this crap?

Who is caring? This crap is moving!

Hello, bozos!

Benjamin! Come here. Give me a hug.

It's so good to see you!

Number Five!

For you, from Stephanie.

All-natural granola brownies.

No preservatives or additives.

That's the real one! The real Number Two!

Number Five!

Please, call me Johnny Five.

Johnny? You have taken name

for yourself?

I choose many things for myself,

but did not choose travelling in a box.

I choose to fly tourist class,

but they say I'm cargo.

No movie, no magazine, no bag of peanuts.

What are you doing here?

I am not understanding.

Listen.

" Dear Ben, we decided that

the only way we could help...

" ...was to send Number Five.

" He can build your robots,

but you know how...

" ...crazy he is for input,

so keep an eye on him. Good luck.

" Love, Stephanie and Newton."

Benjamin, this is your home,

domicile, flophouse?

Fred, Lady Luck,

she is sitting in our laps today.

She is? I thought you said

this thing misfunctioned on you.

That's a falsity.

What really happened was...

...we were working on him

and suddenly he was struck by lightning.

And from this moment on...

...he has a mind of his own.

So the government tried to destroy him.

So he ran away. So now he is living

with my friend in Montana...

...in a cabin, in the woods, incognito.

Input!

Hound of the Baskervilles.

I think the chauffeur did it.

He did.

Listen very carefully.

I am thinking we should not tell him...

...he is in major metropolitan area.

If he is discovering

he is in a city full of input...

...he will go insanely crazy.

You mean this thing runs by itself?

Thing? An object without life,

a personal possession? Incorrect.

Johnny Five not a thing.

Right. What I mean,

is it remote-controlled, or what?

Well, you would not believe me.

Number Five?

Johnny Five.

Johnny is a very cute name.

-I like it.

-Come here. Come on.

This is my friend, Fred.

Hello, Fred.

-No, over here.

-Right. Sorry.

Perhaps Fred would like

a demonstration of just how...

...you'll help us out of this predicament...

...we are stuck inside of.

-Here, please assemble.

-Sure.

Okay, check diagram, right.

Okay, find tread assembly, right.

Attach serve linkage

to motor and solder there.

Insert tab A into slot B.

Put that down there...

...and don't forget the nernies. Okay...

...and back to this, and that lower boom,

and attach the screws here...

...and tighten A and B, and tighten C, D.

Put the neck assembly down...

...to split wire connectors,

and attach at points X and Y....

It's me! Isn't that special?

We're home free!

It could build them all, right?

What is it?

And now, the next set of parts....

Completed Number 74, Benjamin.

Benjamin?

The government is divided into three trees.

Branches.

We'll return to Tarzan the Fearless

after these messages.

Like I said,

it's the all-new Radio Shack stereo...

...and just look at these prices! I admit it...

...I need therapy.

But till I'm cured, you can save big!

So, come on, take advantage

of Manic Mike's emotional problems.

I just got to sell! I can't help it.

Look at me. I'm in a panic.

I'm frantic and I'm manic!

Wow, nutso.

Interesting human.

It's incredible!

They have got a robot

doing all the work for them.

Operating completely unsupervised.

A totally mobile,

independent robotics system!

Saunders, are they moving out or not?

Are you kidding?

What we smashed is worth

nothing compared to that.

These guys must be loaded.

Why are they in that building?

They probably bought it.

Okay, so we get rid of the robot.

Benjamin? Wake up call.

Up and at 'em, Benjamin.

Time for recharging.

Good morning.

You have an alternative power supply?

Lithium-argon liquid battery.
