Damn it!

-Benjamin Jarvee?

-Jahrvi!

Hello.

Stolen goods warehouse?

He is looking to you

like a household appliance?

Number Johnny Five!

Are you operational?

Say something to me.

Hubcaps, corn dog, soul.

What is this?

He is delicate equipment.

A completely unique, self-mobile

microcomputer robotics system.

We thought it was that.

-Okay, Johnny Five, you're free to go.

-Okay.

What are these foolish clothings

you are wearing?

Attempt to look human, fit in, belong.

Unsuccessful.

When people look at you,

they see a machine...

...so they are treating you like a machine.

But this causes strange feeling, emotion.

It's not good.

What emotion is this?

Feels like desert, wasteland.

Can you explain

a little more explicitly, please?

Unpleasant, hollow, cold.

Is it loneliness?

Loneliness, solitude. Yes!

I have read about this in many books.

Francis Bacon said,

"A crowd is not company...

"...and faces are but a gallery of pictures."

Well, you are hitting the nail

right between the eyes.

Anyway, you should become accustomed...

...to this feeling because this

is the way life is being usually.

Since I am leaving India,

I, too, am having much loneliness...

...in this lifetime.

You are having loneliness, too?

But you're human.

Yes. Humans are everywhere, this is true.

But for two of these humans

to get together...

...to not to be lonely, it is very well--

Complicated?

Correct. Because out of all these humans,

there is only one...

...that I'm wanting

to be the yin for my yang.

Which one human?

Sandy Banatoni, the human.

Every time I am being near her,

the sweat in the palms...

...the duckbumps, I am so--

Like a sweaty duck.

No. Afraid.

-Afraid to be rejected.

-Rejection makes you lonely?

Yes.

You see, we have much in common.

You are lonely because

no one is believing you are alive and...

...I am lonely because

Sandy Banatoni is not knowing I am alive.

But, Benjamin, I can help you.

No, I am completely un-helpable.

I cannot be a...

...a fast-talking, socially-type person.

But in the bookstore,

I scanned many megabytes...

...on male-female relationships,

courtship and dating rituals...

...romance novels, poetry.

I could give you input.

Number Johnny Five,

you would be doing this for me?

Well, yes. You're my friend.

That's wonderful!

If you're even just helping me to...

...speak to Sandy, I am jumping with joy.

-Well, give me five, hombre.

-Yes, and give me the three.

-We catch fish fresh everyday.

-No, those fish are old.

Look, you have

no background in this field at all.

There is no way to get that robot

to do what we want.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

We sure as hell can't get rid of it.

We can't even get into the damn building.

Why shouldn't we get the robot

to help us out?

It's a computer.

It probably has custom operating systems--

Hey, you're the expert.

The jewels go to the museum in two days.

We're flat out of time, buddy.

So what's your brilliant plan?

Exactly. There is no other plan.

This will be our only opportunity.

Now, you two just keep...

...that Indian fellow and his partner

out of that building.

Let me deal with the robot.

You have selected

an appropriate location for my date?

Yes, right on Sandy's way home.

Also remembered another great book:

Dating Dos and Don'ts for Modern Teens.

Are you able to hear me?

Are you able to hear me?

Mane ghabarat thaychhe.

And with a wave of my magic antenna...

...presto!

Go. Now!

-Do it!

-Okay. Lord Rama....

Ignition system has fouled up somehow.

Sorry, folks.

Ben?

There's Sandy.

What a coincidence you are here.

This is so weird.

I was just thinking about you...

...and now here you are.

" Say there, Sandy...

"...isn't that a swell dress you're

wearing tonight?"

Thanks.

"If it is okay with your Mom and Pop...

"...would you like to go to a malt shop

for a cheeseburger?"

Sure. Why not?

Malt shop?

Well, Hungarian malts. Very good.

Oh, no.

It's a better view.

Isn't it strange we should be meeting

like this?

Meet, closeness, proximity, yes.

"The goal of two ones who share

proximity on a physical plane...

"...is to achieve a double oneness

on the metaphysical plane."

Ben, don't go weird on me.

Just tell me you are making the robots...

...and everything is really okay, right?

"Say, doll, this mug's got more moves

than you got curves.

"I cracked that case hours ago."

Does that mean you're done?

On time? Like I wanted?

Yes.

Definitely.

Great!

I'll arrange to have them

picked up tomorrow. This is terrific.

I know they're gonna sell.

I have a good feeling about this.

You know, this is great for me, too.

I mean,

especially at this stage in my career.

Stage. That's a good one.

I am thinking "all the world's a stage."

"All the world's a stage."

Get off!

You know Shakespeare?

"Are you troubled by irregularity?"

-" Just two tablets brings natural...."

-Get off, Sylvester!

Garfield! Do I look like a mouse?

"It takes a tough man

to make a tender chicken."

Ben....

You're not doing any drugs, are you?

I mean--

Oh, no....

Run!

I knew this guy once

who started talking like you...

...right before he decided he was God.

God!

God?

-Jehovah, Krishna, Lord of Lords....

-I think he needs coffee.

Garcon. Deux expressos, s'il vous plait.

French now?

Every time I meet you, I think to myself:

Is he naturally this...

...eccentric?

-Or is this just an act, or what?

-Move those balloons!

What are you really like?

I see, no answer to that one.

-Why are guys like that?

-Go on!

I've never been able to figure it out.

All the guys I ever met were the same way.

Me?

Yes, you!

Okay.

Andale! Arriba!

Guys just smile.

" Tu mama hace el amor con mi perro."

Wait, I know a little Spanish.

Oh, no.

My mother...

...sleeps...

...with your dog?

Oh, no!

Well, that's an expression

in my country, where...

...sometimes we are speaking Spanish.

It does not mean

that your mother is sleeping with my dog.

Oh, no.

It means the people

that she's sleeping with...

...they are like dogs.

I mean that they are....

No. What a moron.

I think I'd better go.

Oh, no. Maaf karna. I am--

Please, I am sorry.

I am confessing to you now, Sandy.

Everything that I have been saying

has been coming to you, not from me...

...but from my friend who has been

controlling remotely the sign.

You mean,

you've had someone prompting you?

Yes. Please, I must escape

this embarrassment.

Don't. No, wait.

Sit. Please, sit down.

Do you mean that you're interested

in me personally?

Yes.

So, that's what's been going on.

You've been trying so hard.

Ben, the expense alone....

I am wanting so much to be able

to speak to you with my tongue untied.

It's really sweet.

You could have just told me.

So, what do we talk about now?

Well, do you like music?

No. Don't tell me, please.

This one is Bo Diddley!

Performed by Mr. Diddley himself!

What year?

-Nineteen...

-...fifty...
