Well, you shouldn't. I wouldn't trust me.

I tried to cash in on you, too.

Humans are so "pli-comp-cated."

Well, come on, buddy.

Don't take it so hard.

Welcome to life in the big city.

Oscar suckered me

and I'm the big con man.

He locked up me and Benny

in a room full of frozen Chinese squids.

He locked you up? He did not smash,

crush, dent, mangle you?

No. He just wanted us out of the way.

Sure. Kidnap the humans...

...destroy the machine!

All right!

Let's party!

Hey, take it easy. You're okay now.

Am not human, but am a life form.

Have soul.

But he me killed to try.

Wait a minute. What are you gonna do?

Pursue, capture, incarcerate!

Come on, now, man.

These are serious guys.

You're not in top form

and your backup battery's used up.

I'm okay.

Just a few Bugs Bunny to work out.

In-out, in.... Perfectly functionality.

Sure, listen to yourself!

You can't even talk straight!

A life form's gotta do...

...what a life form's gotta do. Stand aside.

Hey! How did you get in?

Hey, life form! Cool it!

What is that? How much you want for it?

This is a hell of a way to treat

a future American citizen.

You know that?

Please, someone let--

Excuse me. Listen to me.

-A life is hanging on a tightrope.

-Just got a 10-31.

-Guy was ripped off by a robot.

-This is America?

You!

This is ridiculous!

Hello.

They broke my alarm,

but I didn't hear noise, and then they--

Excuse me. You are Maniac Mike

who spotted the robot?

Come with me. Pardon me.

-I gotta do this.

-This is important.

-Would you do that for me?

-Come on in the car.

-Back to the scene of the crime.

-Hey! This is crazy.

You're never gonna find 'em.

They're long gone.

Find them, I will.

Activating spectro-analyzer.

Vehicle tire tracks.

Goodyear radials, 215-75-15.

Hop on, Derf.

You mean, you can see their tire tracks?

You can follow them?

Piece of corn. Can of cake. "Suck doup."

Oh, no. Fluid.

He is leaking.

Hydraulic fluid? Brake fluid? Lighter fluid?

Mr. Manic,

you are not knowing your fluids.

This is battery fluid.

He is bleeding to death.

Here.

Parked.

Gone.

That way.

Don't worry.

My cousin was a Harley-Davidson.

There! Chrysler LeBaron, late model.

That's them? You did it. We got 'em!

Headed south on Central Avenue,

a man riding a motorcycle...

...that looks like a robot?

That is him! That is Number Johnny Five!

This is Charlie-6. 6-Charlie, we're on it.

I don't believe it.

No! We gotta lose that thing!

You jerk!

-We're never gonna catch 'em now.

-Check this out, baby.

What?

-No, that's not a good idea.

-Trust me.

Short cut. As the crow flies.

Have seen utility maps in the bookstore.

We're on 59th, headed east.

No sign of the suspect--

We are not seeing the hide

nor the head of them!

-I am requesting a helicopter immediately!

-Ben?

Do you know what I'm standing in?

Suspect vehicle turning east on Lakeshore.

Wait!

-What the hell?

-Go around them!

Look out!

It's all right. We lost them now.

I'm telling you, you underestimate him.

He's gonna find us.

Do you see them?

Quiet.

Quiet? Do you know

what just floated past me?

Vehicle is low on fuel.

What? No, it isn't.

Door is open.

And you're going nowhere, bozos!

-What's going on?

-What are you doing now?

Pumping iron.

Is the car moving?

Prepare for launch. All systems are go.

It's not that.

The valves?

We have lift-off.

What happened?

Let's get them out.

Easy. Wait a minute. Are you okay?

Hey, you.

Here's Johnny!

Here. Give me that.

Okay, jerk off. You're gonna get recycled.

Oh, yeah? Well, recycle this,

you meshuggenah schmuck!

Get out of my face, you ugly mother!

Tu mama hace el amor con mi perro.

Come on, you bug-eyed geek!

Do you feel lucky, punk?

We have a 10-34

between two men and a forklift?

What is a 10-34?

Why does he not speak English?

Where you going, Speedy?

Watch it, dink! You're out of your league.

Dr. Ruth says, "Violence is an expression...

"...of sexual frustration."

Saunders, you bastard, help me!

"Eep-kay im-hay usy-bay!"

Hey, you!

You got water-cooled tubes?

-What?

-I got an error message for you!

I'll scramble your RAM!

Oh, like, I'm really scared.

You know, for sure.

Yes, J. Five!

You rang?

"Ew-scray ou-yay, ozo-bay."

Well, okay, pilgrim...

...it's roundup time.

Five?

Excuse me.

Could you put your arms down?

Sure.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Five!

Oscar!

It's a dead end, Oscar.

Give it up!

-Stop!

-So long, sucker.

Oh, yeah? Watch this.

Rats. Can't lock on frequency.

Okay, Oscar. I'll pass you off at the head.

Hey, tough guy--

Ben!

Ben!

Where is he? He is leaking!

He'll run out of power and he'll die!

No, Oscar!

Forget it. You can't swim!

Elevation! Altitude! Come on!

Oscar, you will not get away.

I am really pissed off!

No!

No!

Me, Johnny. You, busted.

Oh, no!

What are you? Punishment from God?

-J. Five!

-Number Johnny Five, are you okay?

Get out of my way!

-Please, officer.

-Benjamin.

Number Johnny Five?

What is wrong?

Where is your auxiliary power?

-What?

-His auxiliary power!

-Backup battery?

-Yes!

-It's dead!

-He used it up already! Goddamn it!

I knew he wasn't up to this.

Number Johnny Five.

You!

Medical person, pay attention to your job!

Come here!

Quickly!

-Give me the defibrillator!

-Ben, what are you doing?

Give it to me!

Good-bye...

...Benjamin.

No!

Listen, you nutcase! Give me that!

Do not be touching me, sir.

Turn the power on

to its top-most capacity.

-Get back!

-Look out!

Number Johnny Five.

Come on, Johnny Five.

Come on, Johnny Five!

Come on!

Please!

Come on!

Please say something.

Benjamin.

My friend.

Oh, my God.

Number Johnny Five.

Are you completely operational?

Perfectly, "kay-o."

Keep that power on

or I'll beat the living headlights out of you!

But I've got such a headache.

Number Johnny Five,

you had me so worried.

Pardon me.

See this guy? I know him.

I know him. Fast reader.

Close personal friend of mine.

Comes by here all the time.

You talk about speed-reading,

he can really read.

You want my toys?

Everybody wants my toys.

Fred, will you hurry up? We'll be late.

You want 5,000, you got 5,000.

You just gotta wait six months

like everybody else.

I got three shifts working on them now.

Not a lot I can do.

Okay, I'll get back to you.

I've been a salesman all my life.

I finally got something that sells!

What about this new slogan:

"Johnny Five. You know the name,

now own the toy."

-What do you think?

-I think we ought to get in the car.

I solemnly swear...

I solemnly swear...

...that I will support and defend

the Constitution and the laws...

...that I will support and defend

the Constitution and the laws...

...of the United States of America...

...of the United States of America...

...against all....

-Hurry up!

-Coming.

...against all enemies,

foreign and domestic...

...and that I will bear true faith

and allegiance to the same...

...and that I will bear true faith
