I'll get back on you when I return.

But please wait for a beeping beep. Beep.

-Yes. Right.

-First one.

"Help me, Rhonda

Help, help me, Rhonda"

"Oh, where can you be?"

"7-8-7, 8-8-9-7-4."

"Camptown robots sing this song

Doo-dah, doo-dah

"Think this tunnel's five-miles long

Oh, Doo-Dah-Day

"Gonna dig all night, gonna"--

Madson steel alloy. A-450.

I'll dig around it.

No!

No, it's okay.

Oh, yes. This is the secret room.

I had planned to make an entrance

with a cutting torch...

...but perhaps you have a faster way?

-Entrance. Portal.

-Right.

-A hole.

-Yes!

Hey, good morning out there.

You're tuned to Daddy-O's Patio

with Stacks o' Wax...

...and golden-oldie, platter-chatter, too.

And we've got lots more on tap.

Little Anthony and the Im--

What the hell?

Wait a minute. Ben?

Stand back, please.

My plasma cutter is dangerous to humans.

Yes, turn here. I think.

"They say the neon lights are bright

On Broadway"

Broadway. It's gotta be it. Keep going.

Excuse me, but if you are worried

for your friend to be safe...

...why not call the police?

I called them.

They said technically, he's missing.

If he's just missing...

...he must be missing 24 hours

before he's officially missing.

But something's wrong.

I just know it.

We are at Broadway.

Is it a left or right that I would hang?

Wait.

"You can always go

Downtown"

Downtown! Take a left!

Hurry up, please!

We may not have much time.

Okay, Ben.

Broadway's a long street.

"Sixteen Candles"

Tony Romeo and the Crests.

Sixteenth Street!

That's it. Sixteenth Street! Go! Hurry!

Can't you go any faster?

If you get a ticket, I'll pay for it.

-Move, lady!

-Okay, rockin' baby. Sixteenth Street.

Next song, please.

Where did you learn this stuff?

Leningrad. Black market.

Everything from Abba to ZZ Top.

What is this?

You have not known this one?

Otis Redding. Dock of the Bay.

Dock of the Bay!

Of course! Dock of the Bay!

Good! Go towards the docks!

Okey-dokey.

"Lucy, I'm home!"

Oh, my God!

You're incredible!

This is the room,

the hiding place for Benjamin.

Isn't it wonderful?

Oscar? Hiding place is bank vault.

Heimdall bank vault.

Well, yes, of course.

That's the whole idea, see?

What could be safer than a safe?

-But isn't that--

-We need to do just one more thing.

We need to clear out all my old junk here.

Open this box.

But Oscar, cutting hole in bank vault

is not damage? Vandalism?

Don't be ridiculous. I own this vault.

You can't vandalize something

if it's already yours.

Come on!

Well, all right.

Hold this.

-Now open this.

-Okay.

Precious stones.

Diamonds. The Vanderveer Collection.

This is your old junk?

Yep.

Excuse me.

-Oscar owns the Vanderveer Collection?

-Yes!

What? Oscar!

Louie, Louie!

Nah, no, it's doo-doo something.

"Da-Doo-Run-Run"

Doo Wah Diddy! Yes!

What the hell's a "Doo Wah Diddy"?

"The warmth in your heart...

"...makes others happy."

I still like this one.

"Opportunity is waiting.

"You need but to open the door."

Arm yourself.

Hi.

It's coming and it's smarter than I thought.

Get ready!

I'm telling you,

we should take the robot, too!

Don't be absurd!

But Oscar, taking jewels

without permission is stealing!

Boosting. Ripping off--

-You missed him!

-It's half busted. We'll finish it off.

You idiots! You don't even know

what you're chasing.

-Artificial intelligence automat--

-Will you shut up!

Help! Police!

Must find policeman!

Constable! Gendarme!

Hurry up! We've gotta get him.

Police station! Which way?

-Look out!

-Stand back!

Where is he?

You have some explaining to do,

young man.

-Do something!

-Oscar, enlighten me.

Why try to disassemble Johnny Five?

-"Act-ay ared-scay."

-Is your speech program scrambled?

-What?

-"Act-ay ared-scay."

"Et-gay ehind-bay im-hay!"

"Et-gay ehind-bay im-hay!"

Oh, right. I'm scared. We'd better go.

Oh, sh*t. I'm scared.

Let's get out of here.

Oscar, I do not understand this input.

What language are you speaking, Oscar?

Hey, no! No, wait!

Wreck it!

Don't you get it?

It's a witness that can identify us!

No! Stop! Please!

Not just machine!

Not disassemble! Am alive! Can die!

Smash the damn thing!

No! Please! I'm alive!

No, stop!

No, do not kill me!

-No!

-It's still moving! Get it!

Hit it!

No!

Rip it apart!

Hit it! Finish it off!

What the hell? Come back here!

Hey, come back here!

That's it! Good!

Look out!

Hey, those things can kill you!

Get up!

Come on.

Number Johnny Five! Johnny?

Fred, check outside.

Where is he?

A secret, sliding descending staircase.

Johnny Five?

-Number Johnny Five?

-Freeze! Hands in the air!

-Hands over your head!

-What is the meaning of....

I said, don't move!

Stand apart, now! Do it now. I said, now!

Have you seen a robot?

About this big.

Looks like a metal grasshopper.

No grasshoppers today?

J. Five!

Hey! Stop!

Oh, God! What did they do to you?

I can't.

The cops have got him.

Me? Fix?

How? With what?

The purple?

The purple wires?

Twist them back together?

"Lo-hel," bozo. Hello, "zo-bo."

Hello, bozo.

Thank God, are you okay now?

No, backup power "ing-go." Going.

Can't you just plug it into the wall?

Main "wer-po," power circuits are severed.

Must "nnect-reco," reconnect main battery.

"Pen-o," open. Quick, like a bunny.

-Oh God! You're bleeding!

-Yes, battery fluid.

Oh, no, Fred.

Not your "shilk sirt." Silk shirt.

-Bombyx mori moth caterpillar.

-Forget it.

I think I got you bandaged.

You gonna be okay now?

No.

Must repair wiring to memory.

My memory is me.

If it loses power, I die, expire,

"buck the kicket."

Just tell me what to do.

First get soldering iron, iron, iron....

-Thank you.

-This is it, right?

-No.

-No, that's not it.

I can't do this. I'm no good at this stuff.

What?

Plenty of time.

Time, in a sort of runic rhyme--

All right, don't lose it.

Just tell me, step by step.

We were nowhere near that tunnel.

I was spending the night with a friend...

-...in a Chinese refrigerator.

-It's true! Smell him!

Hurry, Fred!

Backup power is going.

Hurry! Quickly!

Jesus!

Christ. Lived from 1 to 33 AD.

Okay, those are in now.

This should be it. Right?

Hope so.

Okay. Here we go!

Hello, baby!

Told you you could do it.

Thanks.

Okay, ace? If I get your arm working,

you can do the rest yourself, right?

"Kay-o, Derf."

Fred.

That's what I said. "Derf."

Why'd you get dinosaurs?

They were on sale at Woolworth's.

Oscar said it didn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

This'll get us through customs just fine.

Our gift to the Brazilian

National Orphanage.

Oscar? That shlup?

I can't believe it.

How you doing? Feeling better?

Approximately 70 present,

president, percent repaired.

Derf, why did Racso lie to me?

Try to disassemble me?

Rasc.... Oh, Oscar!

Well, the jewels, man.

They must be worth, well, who knows?

I thought my friend he was.

Am naive, gullible, schlemiel.

Lesson Number One:

You can't trust anybody.

I trust you, now.
