Good for 500 hours.

Improvement on your design.

Got the bugs out.

Yes, and I'm proud of you.

You removed your laser weapon.

Weapon is to kill, disassemble, make dead.

Unacceptable.

You have made many modifications

upon your person.

You have come a long way

from a Defense Department prototype.

You betcha! It's the all-new Johnny Five.

Just look at these items!

Increased memory, 500 megabytes on-line.

I come with a utility pack

and gadgets for outdoor living.

Lots of Greenpeace stickers

and even a Nike swoosh!

If you act now, I'll throw in for free...

...my all-new multi-frequency

remote control!

You're a crazy man, huh?

There's a guy trying to sleep up here.

"I can't help it. I'm in a panic.

"I'm frantic and I'm manic!"

Fred, it is time to wake up.

The early bird gets worms.

What is the time being?

-8:
37 a.m. And 17 seconds.

-Oh, my God.

I'm supposed to go to Simpson's

to sign the papers.

Benjamin! I'll go with you.

I'd love more input.

Oh no, Johnny Five, you...

...must wait here. You stay here.

There is nothing outside.

It's very boring out there.

Everything you need is here.

I'll be back soon.

It is very boring out there. No input.

Boring.

Dubious. Hard to believe.

-Excuse me.

-Hi. Mr. Jarvee, right?

Jahrvi, but you can call me B-E-N.

I spell it Ben.

Ben, hi. So, how's it going?

Great.

This is for you.

-Ben, it looks great.

-Thank you.

This looks even better than your prototype.

You can mass produce

at this quality and still meet...

...our deadline?

Yes.

Great. Why don't you go down

and see my secretary...

...about signing the papers?

I don't know why.

-No, I mean, you should go--

-I mean, yes.

Okay. Good, well, so good luck

with the rest of them and...

...we'll be in touch.

" Please won't you be my neighbor?"

Hi, neighbor.

I've been thinking about you,

and I thought you...

...might like to see Hisher Boot-trunk.

Hisher is a ventriloquist's dummy.

He isn't alive. I'm alive.

I'm a human being like you.

Hisher is made

of papier-mache and wood...

...and except for pretend,

Hisher doesn't have feelings.

I have feelings.

I have skin and bones....

Hey, gently with the shirt.

That's my Bisana.

It's a $190 shirt.

I got it for $45.50 off the truck.

You want to hand me the Labatts?

Sure.

I wouldn't want you to strain yourself.

Can you say "thank you"?

Why don't you see if you can hunt up

some more of those cashew nuts?

There's somebody at the door.

Wash his socks, iron his shirts....

Just like animals in a jungle,

I swear to God.

The people in this city,

it's like back-to-the-trees time.

City?

I am in a city?

I didn't say that.

This is actually no place at all.

You shouldn't waste your time.

There's really nothing to see out there.

I mean, well, you can see for yourself.

It's pretty dull, actually.

It's not much of a place to see, really, is it?

Major metropolis!

Come on, now. We got toys to make.

Was not told I was in a city. Why?

Look, just get back to work!

You're ordering me?

I'm not Slave-O-Matic.

I'm Johnny Five. I'm alive.

And my Aunt Bertha is a toaster oven.

Come on, get to work!

I've never seen a city.

Time for sightseeing.

Sightseeing? You don't need to sightsee.

Excuse me.

Input. Megabytes of input.

Watch your toes.

Look at this place. It's amazing!

It's like Montana, only vertical.

Buildings, skyscrapers, urban habitats.

I am impressed.

Mobile human.

Woman carrying a dead animal.

Outdoor plumbing.

Oh, my.

Must be Candid Camera!

It must take batteries or something,

you know?

Hot dogs!

Pork snouts, nitrates, red dye number five.

Hello, there, pedestrians, city dwellers,

young urban professionals.

Nice place you got here.

Human porcupines.

Smile!

What's going on?

Keep your eye on it.

Okay, red to black, red to black. Red card.

Everybody can play, okay?

Winners all the time.

Here we go. Red to black,

red to black. Red card.

-Okay, pick that card up.

-That one. I win.

What the hell am I looking at here?

Look, it's a droid.

Kiss off, you bug-eyed geek. Come on!

-I did not win?

-Who's running this thing?

Get this ugly mother out of my face!

Well, excuse me for living.

Los Locos kick your ass!

Los Locos kick your face!

Los Locos kick your balls into outer space!

That thing ain't gonna work

on this lock, sucker.

Push on the window. Push, man!

I'll unlock it.

It's a droid!

-Is he a cop, man?

-No, man, I seen that sh*t before.

I seen it too. It's a Mitsubishi!

Not Mitsubishi. I'm Johnny Five.

He's talking, man.

Sure, they all do that, man.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm sightseeing,

but many people are angry.

Why?

Is that your car, man?

You're looking out for it?

No.

Come on.

-Are you angry, too?

-No, man.

I want to be your friend.

Listen, you can open any car you want?

Sure.

You want to help us out?

We got this big job, you know,

where we go around looking...

...for old car stereos that need to be,

like, polished up...

...and repaired and stuff,

and that's what we do.

And then we put them back in the cars

and everybody is happy.

We work for the

Department of Car Stereo Repair, right?

And we're really overworked.

We got too many cars to do today.

See all those cars?

We have to do all those cars

or we don't even get to go home...

...to see our families

and little babies and stuff.

-Is it doing it?

-I don't see nothing.

I think it split, man.

I got radios! I got stereos!

I got tape decks and CDs!

Everything you need

for car systems at low prices!

"I can't help it. Look at me. I'm in a panic.

"I'm frantic and I'm...

"...manic!"

Arriba!

Arriba! Andale! Hola, dude.

Check it out, man. Pretty nice, eh?

Por favor, need assistance

to find Benjamin and Frederick.

Usted comprende amigo?

That's right across the street.

Muchas gracias.

What is this, some type of stunt? A joke?

No humor is involved.

Collecting mucho input. Urban input.

Be careful!

Be careful. You really should

cross at the crosswalk.

-You lost Number Johnny Five?

-Hold it.

You stop backing up,

you untrustworthy person.

Now, get up!

I did not lose him, first of all.

He just ran out.

He went ape.

My friends trusted me

and I lowered them down.

-Your friends?

-This is a major screw-up!

Your friends? What about me?

What about this business?

Excuse me. I...

...I found this machine across the street.

Number Johnny Five!

Am I not telling you not to go

outside of the doors?

Outside of doors is city. Awesome input.

You did not tell me.

You have been vandalized all over yourself.

No, decorations.

Multicolored petroleum by-products.

Los Locos kick your ass!

Los Locos kick your face!

Los Locos kick your balls

into outer space!

Number Johnny Five!

Come on. I will clean you up.

If you had a mouth,

I'd wash it out with soap.

But, I....

You really saved our bacon there.

Thanks a lot.

That thing is remarkable! Is it yours?

Yes, there's only one of them

and we've got it.
