"[thunder]" "2.4." "2.4." "Right." "Soldering gun." "Gun." "Check." "Final check, Max." "All systems go, Josh." "Enter the program." "Entering program." "I'm switching on, Max." "Right, Josh." "[Switch clicks]" "Ok, Max, hit "enter."" "You got it, Josh." "[Meow]" "[Meow]" "I give up." "Would you turn that off?" "It just needs a better operating system, Josh." "It needs a better everything." "He's a piece of junk." "No, he isn't." "Let's go, guys." "We're late." "I've got a good feeling about tonight, Josh." "I really do." "Max, you always have a good feeling." "Not always." "Occasionally I have a bad feeling, but tonight I have a good feeling." "Ok, ok, keep walking." "Come on, guys!" "Slow down." "I got short legs, remember?" "I just want to say one thing to you before we go." "No matter what happens tonight," "I think you guys are the greatest." "Your dad would be real proud of you." "Thanks, mom." "Ok, put your seat belt on." "You ready?" "Good evening, and welcome to the 15th annual junior inventor awards." "I'm proud to announce to you today our six semifinalists." "From right here in sherman, the Carson brothers..." "Josh and Max." "Hi, Josh!" "Celia Barnes," "Matthew marsella," "Mei po wong, and last, our two-time winner..." "Dwayne kotzwinkle." "That's my boy." "May I have the envelope, please?" "Well." "This is unusual." "Our judges seem to be split between Dwayne kotzwinkle..." "And Josh and Max Carson." "Yes!" "What?" "In cases of a tie, we ask for a demonstration, a sort of play-off." "How about it, boys?" "Dwayne's not gonna win it this year." "Every year his dad helps him." "Every year he wins." "That's my boy." "After you've had a hard, long day on the court, sometimes you're too tired to pick up the balls." "[Whooshing]" "So with my back-saver here, all you have to do is aim the magic wand." "And presto..." "Martini time." "Thank you, Dwayne." "Um, your turn, boys." "Yeah..." "Move." "We call this the transporter." "It's a voice-activated garbage-can mover." "We thought elderly people could use it to get their garbage from their homes to the street." "Emily!" "Emily, stop!" "It also has sonar sensors, so it won't run anyone down." "I think we've got our winner..." "Josh and Max Carson." "Yes!" "Congratulations, Max." "Thanks." "Boy, $1,000." "What are you going to do with all that money?" "Well, Josh wants to give half to mom." "She's sort of broke." "We'll spend the rest on Newman." "Newman?" "Yeah." "He's our robot." "Max!" "Top secret, huh?" "Sorry." "Josh is a little paranoid till we get a patent." "Well, you never can be too careful." "You!" "No, no!" "Mom, not before breakfast." "What is this?" "I can't take half your contest money." "Ok." "Sure, you can." "Great." "This is your money." "Pass the syrup, Max." "Right, Josh." "Ok," "I will borrow half of this, but if you need any of it for your robot..." "Newman." "Ignore him." "His name is Newman 'cause he's going to be a new man someday." "Newman?" "I like that." "That's cute." "[Telephone rings]" "When mom gives us our half, we'll get Newman the best money can buy." "Remember, $500 is not that much." "Guys, I'm showing the house later." "[Humming]" "Max." "Max." "I don't want to sell." "I like it here." "Sweetie, I like it, too." "We just can't afford it." "If we sold Newman, we'd make some money." "Then we wouldn't have to sell the house." "Save it, Max." "Give Newman a chance." "With better components, he can really work." "I'm sure he can, sweetie." "It's just that inventing takes such a long time." "Remember how long it would take your dad when he was building a new computer?" "You guys are just like him." "I can't get you out of the shop." "Keep eating." "Why do you keep talking about him?" "I don't want to hear about him anymore." "It's been two years." "He was your father." "He didn't care about us." "That's not true." "He loved you." "Oh, yeah?" "Then how come he killed himself?" "Don't worry, mom." "He just needs more time, that's all." "He'll get better." "Josh, wait up." "[Bell rings]" "Good morning, class." "Most of you know my assistant for the week," "Josh Carson." "Josh in on loan to us from advanced programming." "He's going to help me explain to you how someday computers may be able to think all on their own." "Isn't that right, Josh?" "Uh, yeah." "Josh." "Why don't you take a seat?" "You just correct me if I make a mistake." "Some experts predict it will be 10-25 years before computers can take in information..." "Ok." "And make decisions on their own." "What's your opinion, Josh?" "What?" "How long will it be before computers can think?" "Well, um, not too much longer." "I think I've almost got it." "What are you going to do with all that money?" "Josh thinks we should give half to mom." "She's sort of broke." "We'll spend the rest on Newman." "Newman?" "Yeah." "He's our robot." "Max!" "How old are these kids?" "10 and 15." "Oh, come on, Alice, they're babies." "Mel, I know there's a story here." "I can taste it." "Resistors..." "Servos." "Josh, look..." "A 320 triax." "Max, we need to get a lot of stuff." "We can't afford to get it all here." "Sure!" "We got 500 bucks." "So how was I supposed to know a triax costs 250 bucks?" "Yo, guys." "Steve, where the hell have you been?" "Hi, honey." "Where's Max?" "He's with Steve." "Yo!" "I'm ready for the freeway." "Ok, turn, turn, turn." "I got it." "I got it." "Ohh." "Let's do this again tomorrow." "Hey, three-point landing." "Here's your stuff." "Kid's a natural." "The natural is 10 years old." "Hey, Josh." "Max told me about the contest." "Congratulations." "Oh, thanks." "I invited Steve for dinner, ok?" "Sure." "It was his idea." "Really." "Hi." "Hi." "When did you get back?" "You miss me?" "Did you finish your story?" "Almost." "Did you miss me with a passion that knows no bounds?" "Almost." "So, when are we getting married?" "Ahh..." "Mmm, I don't know." "Ahem." "You know, you may not believe this, but somewhere deep, deep down inside, he really likes me." "We don't need that much more stuff, do we?" "I thought we wanted an articulated appendage, linear actuator, gated servos..." "Ok, ok." "We'll have to trade for them." "Well, there's only one person who..." "No." "I'm not going to him." "Forget it." "Why did I let you talk me into this?" "It'll be fine." "Trust me." "Well, well." "If it isn't the Carson brothers." "What can I do for you, boys?" "We have some stuff we want to trade." "Oh, you're mass-producing your garbage transporter, huh?" "No." "Something new?" "Yeah, it's a rob... ouch!" "It's nothing." "Well, I don't think we can let our professional rivalry stand in the way of doing a little business." "Dwayne, get up here!" "Aw, dad." "What are they doing here?" "Will you just shut up?" "They're clients now." "Very nice." "Daddy's?" "We need..." "Five miniservos, linear actuator 5148..." "I think we can do some business." "Get to it, Dwayne." "We're never going there again." "Why not?" "I like that iguana." "Yeah, right." "Hey, you think I'm going back?" "Not on my life." "Hey!" "What?" "Be gentle." "Yeah, ok." "Max." "That's it." "Let's program him." "Right." "Ok." "Teach him how to wave." "Wave?" "Why does he need to know how to wave?" "It's friendly." "Well, let's see if he'll move first." "Got to expect some bugs." "Dad always said, "no bugs, no bytes."" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Ok..." "Here it goes." "All right!" "We have movement." "Teach him how to wave." "Ok, I'll try." "Newman, stop!" "It's not responding." "What's he doing?" "I don't know." "Stop it!" "Newman!" "Get him!" "Quick!" "Josh, get him to stop." "He'll break something." "Newman!" "Oh, Newman!" "Please!" "Newman!" "Stop!" "Come on!" "Uh-oh." "It's that reporter from the contest." "My boss is very excited about this story." "Oh, I think the boys will love the idea." "Josh." "Max?" "I don't know." "Yieaah!" "Are you sure you're all right?" "I'm fine." "Really." "Mom, this very second" "Richard Williams is stuffing his face with all the best candy." "He takes Halloween very seriously." "Well, so did I." "I was always the first one there." "So..." "Did you finish your robot?" "We don't have a robot." "What?" "Sorry you came all this way for nothing, miss woods." "Well, don't worry about it, Josh." "Thank you, Mrs. Carson." "I'll see myself out." "See you, Max." "Bye." "What's going on?" "Mom, she's a snooper." "She could be a spy for a robotics company." "A spy?" "Josh, she's a reporter." "Until we get a patent for Newman, he's off limits, especially to her." "Josh." "Next time, be more polite." "Sorry, mom." "Tomorrow we put in a security system." "Honey." "Try and have a good time, ok?" "And give my love to Beth." "¶ Baby ¶ boo!" "¶ You're scarin' me ¶" "¶ you're my nightmare ¶" "¶ my fantasy... ¶" "I vant to suck your blood." "Not now, stupid." "¶ Baby ¶" "¶ you're scarin' me ¶" "¶ you're my nightmare... ¶ are you concentrating, Timmy?" "Don't push down so hard." "It will work this time." "Josh." "No, wait." "Come on." "You've got to try this." "Let Josh have a turn." "I was contacting Napoleon." "Later, Timmy." "What is this?" "A telephone to heaven." "Put your fingers on here, and open your mind." "Is there anyone you want to contact?" "What?" "No." "Is there anyone who wants to contact Josh Carson?" "You do." "Is there anyone who wants to contact Josh?" "Come on, come on." "Come on, come on." ""D."" ""A."" ""D."" "Dad?" "Very funny." "Wait, Josh!" "I didn't do anything." "I promise." "[Meow]" "[Meow]" "Mom?" "[Crash]" "Max?" "Hello?" "[Meow]" "Charlie." "[Purring]" "[Meow]" "[Sniffing]" "Charlie, have you been smoking?" "[Meow]" "[Meow]" "Are you out of your mind breaking into their house?" "Mel, I saw something." "A hand doesn't mean squat." "This hand was not human." "It belonged to a robot?" "There was this flash of light." "Maybe the robot was taking snapshots." "Mel, please." "I need this one." "Ok, but this time, make sure you get something on tape, all right?" "Josh..." "I think somebody has a question." "I'm really sorry." "I didn't know about your dad." "I just thought your parents were divorced like everybody else's." "Uh..." "It's ok." "Josh, did anything weird happen after you left the party?" "Why?" "Well, 'cause when I picked up the pointer, it was hot." "Something did happen, didn't it?" "The house kind of felt..." "Th-there was this smell..." "Oh, forget it." "No, tell me." "What smell?" "Pipe smoke." "My dad..." "Hey, Carson." "How you doing, wimp?" "Hey, Beth." "I got tickets..." "Get lost, Dwayne." "I don't like to lose, Carson." "Don't you forget it." "Test-testing." "Testing." "All right." "Now to find the real me." "[Low-pitched voice] No, no." "That's not it." "Let me see here..." "[High-pitched voice] No." "That's not it, either." "Testing." "[Normal male voice] All right." "Now we're talking." "Are those for one of your inventions?" "Yeah." "Could I see it?" "Oh, I don't know." "Please." "Your garbage transporter is so cool." "Please?" "Max, Lester's on the phone, sweetie." "Ok." "Ok, let's go." "Wait." "I didn't want you to trip the alarm." "Oh, really?" "Oh, he's adorable." "He's ok." "I think it's wonderful." "I think you both are." "Well, that's it?" "No show?" "Uh, s-some other time." "Please, Josh?" "Ok." "But don't expect much." "Cool." "God, that's great." "What's this for?" "Uh, it tells him how hard to squeeze." "When he grabs something, fibers rustle, and a microphone hears it underneath the finger." "As his grip tightens, the mic tells the hand to stop squeezing." "At least that's what's supposed to happen." "That's so brilliant." "Oh, well..." "Well, can he pick this up?" "No." "That would take major programming." "Please, just try it for me." "Then I'll go." "I promise." "Oh, ok." "But it's not going to work." "See?" "I told you." "[Robot voice] Here, Beth." "After you tighten my screws, could you scratch my back?" "I didn't do that." "Honestly." "Yeah, right." "I suppose he did." "What's she doing here?" "Max." "Hi, Max." "Beth is borrowing a screwdriver." "Uh, keep it." "We've got plenty." "Thanks, Josh." "See ya." "How did you do it?" "What?" "Get him to talk." "Talk?" "Wait a minute." "I know he picks up things." "Have you been drinking?" "This is crazy." "He was doing all sorts of stuff for Beth and me." "[Robot voice] Hi, boys." "[Normal voice] What do you think of my robot voice?" "Ok, who's doing this?" "I know it's a different look, but the voice?" "Dad?" "Dad?" "Bingo." "Look at you two." "You've grown, and I've shrunk." "Is this amazing?" "I can't believe I made it back here." "How'd you get in there, dad?" "Josh called me from the Halloween party..." "Super-long distance." "What?" "I tried getting back, but you know me with directions." "Anyway, I'm here thanks to Beth." "She's cute." "A little pushy, but cute." "I was afraid I'd end up in the TV." "You did, sort of." "We scrapped it for Newman." "Good." "I bet you're reading more." "That was you moving the pointer around?" "Well, it wasn't Napoleon, although he did give me some tips." "He loves games." "You know Napoleon?" "Yeah." "Napoleon, Einstein." "Your grandma Millie's up there." "She sends hugs and kisses." "What?" "Max, I could use a hand in here." "Listen, we'll talk later." "Promise not to tell your mom yet." "You know how she hates surprises." "But, dad..." "It's ok, Max." "Go help your mom." "I wish you could eat with us." "Me, too, but my stomach's not what it used to be." "Come on." "Good night, guys." "Night, mom." "Good night." "Ok." "Let's go." "Wait." "She's not even in bed yet." "Do you think dad's cramped inside Newman?" "What?" "He seems nicer." "Does he seem nicer to you?" "Maybe being dead has made him nicer." "Will you stop for a second?" "Ah, Sarah." "Max, get back to bed, young man." "Uh-oh." "Ouch." "Remind me to get curb feelers." "Josh, look." "[Newman] I think she saw me." "Let's get him out of here." "What is that?" "What?" "You know what." "Um..." "That?" "Newman." "Newman?" "Yeah." "I think you scared him." "I scared him?" "So this is Newman." "Hello, Newman." "[Robot voice] It's a pleasure to see you, Mrs. Carson." "Really a pleasure." "You look stunning in that robe." "I admit, I thought a robot was ambitious, even for the two of you." "More cocoa, Mrs. Carson?" "Thank you." "You're so welcome." "You'll go loco for my cocoa." "He's incredible." "More cocoa, Josh?" "I'm surprised he's so sophisticated." "Us, too." "Marshmallows?" "Quit showing off." "Cookies?" "How did you do it?" "Why not go to bed?" "It's getting late." "Good idea." "I'm here to serve you." "What else can he do?" "Mom, he's still experimental." "¶ I can also sing ¶ when will you know?" "He may look finished, but he really isn't." "He still needs testing." "Testing 1-2-3." "We got school tomorrow, huh?" "You're right." "I got carried..." "This is very exciting." "I agree." "He's so cute." "Thank you." "Newman, get the light." "Isn't anybody going to leave a tip?" "[Matthew's voice] A robot's work is never done." "Hey, pepe." "Shoo!" "I'm the only one watering around here." "Little squirt." "Ah, at least now I have time to stop and smell the roses." "Make that stop and kill the roses." "You're a wonderful help." "[Robot voice] Thank you." "I can't believe how much you can do." "Your boys are very ingenious." "They certainly are." "Tsk." "I wish Matt could see them." "He was your husband?" "Yeah." "May I ask what you are thinking now?" "Ahem." "I was thinking I can't believe we're talking like this." "Neither can I." "Did he do special things for you?" "Something good, maybe?" "Yeah." "He gave a great foot massage." "Hmm." "[Doorbell chimes]" "Intruders." "Hi." "I'm back." "I got off on the wrong foot with your boys." "I'd love to try again." "If I could talk to them for a minute..." "Miss woods, I don't want to be rude, but the boys really aren't interested." "Josh is having a hard time." "His father died, we're moving..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I didn't realize... [beeping]" "That's my office." "Could I use your phone?" "Just for a second." "There's... there's one in the kitchen if that would..." "This will be fine." "Please, don't let me keep you." "Ok." "Hi, Mac, what's up?" "Yeah, ok." "I'll be there in 15." "No, I'm out at the Carson house." "I think this is a dead one." "Guess you were right." "But then again, you never know." "Would you like some coffee?" "I'll talk to you later." "I've got to run." "Some wife's thrown her husband out of the house..." "literally." "Thank you." "Yo, mama." "Over here." "Peekaboo." "Your robot is incredible." "I still can't believe it can talk." "Are you going to sell it?" "No." "He's not ready yet." "Well, he sure seemed ready to me." "Josh, you're a genius." "Your robot's going to be on the cover of people magazine." "[Blowing nose]" "When jaeger gets here, tell him exactly what you told me." "[Robot voice] Why don't you relax?" "I will finish cleaning." "[Humming]" "How did you know where that bucket was?" "Uh..." "Max showed me." "Max?" "Max hates to clean." "That's why he showed me." "You see, I'm every kid's dream come true." "Yeah." "Especially my kids." "¶ Dit doo-doo-doo-doo ¶ this is my kind of music." "How about you?" "¶ Angel, angel ¶ want to boogie, baby?" "Let's get down and get back up again." "¶ Must have pretended ¶" "¶ to capture my love ¶ you dance divinely." "You're not so bad yourself." "I don't know where I got these moves, but I'm not giving them back." "You've got my turbos churning." "Watch me burn rubber, baby." "Aah!" "Excuse me..." "Power surge." "I told you I wasn't interested in a child's robot." "But this is Matthew Carson's kids here." "If he was involved, it could be worth a fortune." "Matthew Carson's been dead for two years." "Or maybe this is your subtle way of asking for more money." "I couldn't do that." "Not to you." "This meeting is over." "See ya." "18 speeds with an acu-shift derailleur." "Yeah." "Hi, Max." "Hi." "Could be yours." "Is this a bribe?" "Of course not." "I just wanted to show you what it would be like to be famous." "You could afford anything you wanted, like this bike..." "Or a house." "¶ I had a vision ¶" "¶ where are you now?" "¶" "¶ when something's different... ¶ mom?" "Hi, honey." "Hey, big guy, how was school?" "What is going on?" "He's in disguise." "That reporter came back." "Oh, great." "That's ok." "Guess what we're having for dinner." "Beef stew." "Newman suggested it." "I have no idea how he knew it was your favorite." "Robot intuition." "And after dinner?" "Entertainment." "[Sarah] Oh, look at you guys." "Oh, that feels wonderful." "The pleasure is all mine." "[Sarah giggles]" "Charlie, there you are." "Was that your dad's second or third computer?" "Third." "Third." "Or second..." "Maybe." "Your husband was quite good-looking for a human." "I'm sure he misses you all very much." "[Josh] Happy now?" "[Matthew's voice] What?" "Mom's a total wreck 'cause of you." "Why don't you just leave us alone?" "I didn't like you when you were alive, and I don't like you now." "Josh, stop it!" "You think I feel sorry for you?" "You're the one who killed yourself." "[Matthew's voice] Killed myself?" "Is that what you thought?" "I didn't kill myself." "It was an accident." "Yeah, right." "Look, my car went off the cliff, but I didn't do it on purpose." "I lost control trying to avoid a..." "Skunk." "Skunk?" "Everybody thought you were so depressed before you..." "I was upset, but I had a good reason." "I never told you this, but three days before the accident, someone stole the prototype for the computer I'd been working on." "I wasn't positive who did it, but I had a pretty good idea." "I was going to have it out with the guy when that skunk ran in front of me." "What guy?" "Josh, there's nothing we can do about that now." "It's ancient history." "Sorry, dad." "Me, too, Max." "I'm sorry about a lot of things." "I'm sorry I wasn't here for the two of you." "I'm sorry I was such a lousy dad." "You weren't that bad." "Yes, I was, Max." "I never took the time to be a dad." "I didn't realize how little time I was going to have." "You bought me that football helmet, remember?" "I still have it." "I didn't buy it, Max." "Your mom did..." "Like everything else." "Well..." "I'm still glad you came back, dad." "Thanks, son." "I am, too." "So, I guess Al was right, huh, Josh?" "Who?" "Al Einstein." "Genius." "Bushy hair." "He didn't think it was such a good idea to come back." "But I just wanted to help." "You can, dad!" "Help us fix Newman." "What?" "With you inside, we might be able to tell what's wrong with him." "Now, that is a great idea, Max." "He's never going to work, even with your help." "That's not true." "Hey, he's almost ready." "Well, I guess if it would make Max happy." "Yes!" "All right!" "[Sighs]" "You must be proud to have built a robot." "Yeah, I guess." "I didn't do it all by myself." "Josh helped, too." "How long did it take to build him?" "About seven months." "Wilkinson wants to run it on the morning news as a special." "Great." "It's a secret." "But he's kind of like a computer on wheels." "Great." "[Matthew] Ok, what do you want him to do first?" "Uh, get him to talk on his own." "Good luck." "What if you cross e-10 with s-17, bypassing the double poles?" "No, no." "That won't work." "He'd stutter." "Let's see..." "What if I reroute m-18 from the emitter leg into the collector hole?" "Now you're cooking." "[Matthew] Finished?" "I think so." "Ok, I'm going to shut up now." "Any corny jokes you hear will be Newman's." "How about if you don't use the keypad?" "Use his voice recognition instead." "He's going to do it." "Newman..." "Can you hear me?" "Yes." "I can hear you." "Yes." "I can hear you." "Yes." "I can he..." "Thanks." "I needed that." "[Matthew] Hmm." "No bugs, no bytes." "Ok..." "Check his motor reflexes." "Let's see if he can, uh..." "Pick up that glass of juice." "Newman..." "Do you see the glass on the table?" "Yes." "I want you to reach for it." "Ok." "[Matthew] Good..." "Good." "Now pick it up." "Good." "Now bring it to me." "Not so good." "Maybe he's left-handed." "Sorry." "[Max] Don't feel bad, Newman." "It's ok." "[Josh] I give up." "[Matthew] Come on." "Don't give up, Josh." "Try it again." "He's not sophisticated enough." "Yes, he is." "I bet that last adjustment you made did the trick." "Come on..." "Who among us got an "a" on our first science test, huh?" "Newman..." "Pick up the glass." "Now what, Josh?" "[Matthew] Psst." "Over here." "Surprise." "Did you do that?" "You talkin' to me?" "Would you like a drink, Josh?" "You did it, Josh." "Thanks to you." "No, thanks to you." "He's your invention." "I'm real proud of you, son." "Josh, I don't blame you for being angry with me." "I'm trying to make it up to you." "I missed you so much." "Ahh..." "I'm here, Josh." "I'll always be with you." "More juice?" "So, Max..." "He did it." "Very funny." "Josh is right." "I did it, Max." "Oh, my God!" "[Matthew] Max, watch out for the..." "Whoa!" "Box." "[Anchor] And now for a change of pace, some good news." "Here's Alice woods with a special report." "Every so often, you stumble upon something magical." "I found it here on maple drive." "A little handmade robot that walks, talks, even does the rumba." "You dance divinely." "You're not so bad yourself." "[Matthew] Touchdown." "Take it easy." "Throw it to me now." "I got good hands, considering they're aluminum." "[Matthew] 1..." "And 2..." "And 3..." "This is great." "I love it!" "I'm going deep, dad." "Go for it." "Watch this, Max." "All set?" "Here comes!" "Uh-oh." "It's in here." "Excuse me." "Beth!" "What is going on?" "[Beth] Newman was on TV." "Oh, my..." "How'd he get..." "Where are you?" "I'm going to kill you!" "[Sarah] Josh, what's going on?" "[Max] Don't, Josh, please!" "She promised me she wouldn't show it till we got a patent!" "[Sarah] Josh, stop it!" "You ruined everything!" "[Matthew] Josh!" "Now, that's enough." "Calm down." "It wasn't Max' fault." "[Max] I'm sorry, Josh." "We'll never get a patent in time." "Somebody's going to rip us off like they did you." "No, they're not." "They know what Newman can do, but they don't know how he does it." "Matthew?" "Why don't you guys take Beth and go calm down the neighbors?" "Go on." "It's ok." "Hello, Sarah." "It is you." "Well, sort of." "I kept thinking that I felt you, but..." "I thought if I told the boys they'd think I was losing my mind." "Oh, Sarah." "Josh, is Newman your dad?" "Yeah." "So the pipe smoke was..." "You brought him back here, Beth." "Yeah." "Thanks, Beth." "Wow!" "Wow." "Well, I guess I should go home or something." "Oh, wait, wait." "Beth..." "Um..." "Don't..." "Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone he's your dad." "Besides, who'd believe me?" "See you at school, Josh." "Bye, Max." "Whoo-hoo-hoo!" "[Honk honk] Hey, guys!" "I've got some great news." "Sarah!" "Steve." "Hi." "Whoa." "What is that?" "It's a robot." "Kids do that?" "Incredible." "When did you get back?" "About 20 minutes ago." "I've got wonderful news." "[Robot voice] Not so fast, buddy." "I like that." "That's good." "Come here." "Did you notice I bought a new sweater?" "Come on." "Sit down." "The magazine loved my story." "They gave me a $25,000 advance to turn it into a book!" "Do you believe that?" "That's great." "Congratulations." "That's not all..." "[Steve] Go ahead, open it." "No, Steve." "What do you mean, no?" "Come here." "Put it on." "I can't." "I'm married." "I was married..." "I am, uh... um..." "Sarah..." "You're not married." "Excuse me." "Are you all right?" "What's going on around here?" "It's very complicated." "I don't know that I can explain it." "Try." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "I just need some time to sort things out." "Fine." "I know what I said." "I had no idea this thing was so advanced." "I want the plans." "We'll build our own outer chassis." "Yes." "But I want more money." "You'll get what I deem appropriate." "You forget, Walter, I still have Matthew Carson's prototype with your fingerprints all over it." "[Doorbell rings]" "Hello." "I'm sorry I lied to you, Max." "I'm never watching your channel again." "Please, just leave us alone." "I'm sorry." "Nice going, mom." "Please, I want to help you." "I've contacted a robotics company." "They're very interested." "If you'd just let me help you." "[Matthew] Maybe you should talk to her." "Watch out, mom." "She, like, totally mesmerizes you." "She just wants another story." "No." "Mm-mmm." "I don't think so." "Give her another chance." "Mrs. Carson." "Hello." "I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Henry kilbrandt, president of zindath robotics." "And this is Mr. Michael Abbot, his supervising engineer." "The boys are right in here." "Newman." "My, my..." "Gentlemen, my name is Henry." "And this is Mike." "We came all the way from Texas just to see this little buddy of yours." "My name is Newman." "Delightful, isn't it, Mike?" "Hmph." "[Kilbrandt] I hope it's ok for Mike to examine him." "We've had quite a few people try to sell us phony robots." "[Josh] Newman's no phony." "We'll see." "I'd like a demonstration, please." "Ok." "Would you like a glass of juice, Mr. kilbrandt?" "Well..." "All right." "[Josh] I'll have Newman serve you." "Just a moment." "Have him pick out this pen instead." "You can't expect a robot..." "Excuse me, Mr. kilbrandt, but this robot should be able to do almost anything." "Maybe the only thing it can pick up is a glass." "I suppose you're right." "Josh, can he do it?" "I don't think so." "That's a very intricate manipulation." "I see." "Well, that's too bad." "This isn't going to work." "Let's go." "Try it." "Go on." "I don't want you to do it." "I won't." "I promise." "Excuse me?" "Uh, he said we can do it." "Go on, Josh." "Go on, honey." "Yeah." "Newman..." "I want you to approach Mr. Abbot, the man on the right." "Yes, Josh." "Ready for next command, Josh." "Now raise your arm to Mr. Abbot's pocket." "Which pocket, Josh?" "His inside pocket..." "With the pens inside." "Now extract the pen." "Yes, Josh." "It's amazing, isn't it, Mike?" "Uh..." "Just a minute." "I meant this pen, and I'm going to put it in my back pocket." "Mike, please wait in the car." "[Robot voice] Oh, Mike." "You forgot your pen." "Oops." "Ha ha ha ha." "This was a new shirt." "Not anymore." "He has a mind of his own sometimes." "I'm sorry." "We're in business." "I'll draw up the papers, and we'll pick up the prototype when they're signed." "Pick him up?" "Oh, yes." "Our designers have to analyze and break him down and modify him." "He's a wonderful handmade robot, but people want high-tech devices." "Then you can't have him." "[Max] Right." "But, boys..." "You can have the design, but we keep the prototype." "Right." "But, boys, that's impossible." "Mrs. Carson, could I have a word with you, please?" "Uh..." "It's not up to me." "Well, if you boys ever change your mind, give me a call." "I'll be in town until Monday." "Ladies." "Bye-bye." "Thank you." "I don't get it, but he must mean an awful lot to you guys." "He does." "Good night, mom." "Good night, Max." "Good night, dad." "Good night, Max." "Boy, it sure feels good to say that again." "Good night, Newman." "Good night, everyone." "Josh, I'm really touched that you want to keep me, but I think you should've made a deal." "Good night, dad." "Hmm..." "Good night, Josh." "Coming?" "Huh?" "Oh, boy!" "Curious." "You can say that again." "Curious." "Sarah?" "Sarah," "I, uh..." "I..." "Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi!" "Fascinating..." "Bingo!" "Whoo!" "Newman, take it easy." "Hot mama!" "Newman, shut down." "Oh, yes, sir." "Sarah..." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "[Sigh]" "Good night, honey." "I'm sorry, Matt." "I was just being silly." "Do you think you could stay in here with me until I fall asleep?" "It's been such a long time." "Ok, sweetheart." "Move it!" "What?" "Wake up." "[Crash]" "[Walter] Would you keep it quiet?" "Twit!" "Find the plans!" "Ouch!" "Will you shut up and keep it quiet?" "You idiot." "Dad!" "Look!" "All right!" "[Walter] Come on, he ain't that heavy." "Danger!" "Improper handling." "Dad, it talked!" "Return me at once." "This is unauthorized transportation." "See?" "[Matthew] If you return us now," "I'll get them to go easy on you, Walter." "Who is that?" "Your worst nightmare." "I knew you were the one who stole my computer for jaeger." "Well, I'll be doggone." "That's the voice of Mr. Carson." "He's back from the grave!" "What's going on, dad?" "Don't worry about it, boy." "You just shut up." "Uh, look, I'd really..." "I'd really like to stand around and chew the fat all day, but as you can see, we're pretty busy back here, so if it's all the same to you," "I'll just say toodle-oo!" "Oh, no, you won't!" "Ooh!" "Don't mess with us!" "Dad, are you ok?" "Let's get out of here, Newman." "Ok, boss." "Dad, I can't believe he did that." "Adios, amigos!" "[Dwayne] Dad, just tell me what to do!" "Go get him, will you?" "What are you doing?" "Where did he go?" "[Matthew] You and jaeger are going to jail this time!" "You're not going to rip off my boys like you did me." "Matthew Carson?" "What are you doing?" "Go!" "Right." "[Dwayne] Where is that little runt?" "Get those scanners working, Newman." "We've got to find a way out of here." "Hmm..." "It may be a good time for a little light housework." "Get out of my way!" "I'll just borrow this." "Yoo-hoo, cheeseball!" "Huh?" "Getting warmer." "Gotcha!" "We have lift-off!" "Have a ride." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "I can't watch." "Aah!" "Aah!" "[Thunk]" "Ohh..." "[Moaning]" "[Walter] You ok, boy?" "Dad..." "Help me!" "Your invention works on tennis balls." "How about a more practical application?" "Got to run." "I'll just say toodle-oo." "I'll just say toodle-oo, too." "Dad!" "D... aah!" "Now what, boss?" "Hmm..." "What are you doing?" "This is no time to lay..." "Whoa!" "Ok, and..." "Got it!" "Elevator going up." "Gentlemen, start your engines." "Well, get it!" "Uh-oh." "Get it!" "Watch this, Newman..." "Bombs away!" "And they're off!" "And it's a left hook to the face." "Another left!" "Way to go, boss!" "And... hey!" "Wait a minute!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "This is my wheel!" "No!" "Only one driver at a time." "Damn!" "[Sarah] This is kidnapping." "You have got to find him!" "Him?" "You said this was some kind of machine." "Well, it is." "But it's very important that you find him." "Any ideas on who might have taken him?" "Are you all right?" "Half the state knows about him." "It could've been anyone." "Ok, we'll, uh..." "We'll look into it." "Thank you." "We're going to have to find dad ourselves." "Dad?" "I'll explain." "[Max] Let's comb the neighborhood." "Maybe we don't have to." "Are you there, Mr. Carson?" "Please hear me, Mr. Carson." "Ahem." "This could be your next book." "Please." "Mr. Carson?" "No?" "Well, then, who is it?" ""E"..." ""M"..." ""C"... 2..." "Emc2?" "What?" "E=mc squared." "E=mc squared!" "Don't you see?" "It's Einstein!" "Einstein?" "Einstein." "Dr. Einstein..." "Do you know where my father is?" "Testing, testing." "1...2... 3." "Uh, Mr. Carson, are you in there, sir?" "Stop playing games, Walter." "I want the designs in the patent office today." "And get rid of this stuff." "Where are the police?" "I knew they didn't believe me." "Josh, they'll be here." "Josh?" "Josh!" "Josh!" "Oh, no, you don't!" "[Max] Aw, mom, he needs me!" "[Steve] Josh, wait!" "And until the patent clears, please do not contact me." "[Cans rattle]" "Oh, no." "Dad?" "Sorry, dad." "Oh, how touching." "[Laughing]" "You!" "[Dwayne] H-hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, get off me!" "Hey..." "Dad, help me!" "[Josh] You!" "Hey!" "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "I'll be right back." "Don't you kids move." "Mom, look!" "He's getting away!" "You got this wrong." "I was just trying to break it up." "I swear." "Yes, mom!" "[Siren]" "[Meow]" "It looks as good as new." "Maybe." "We'll see." "Dad?" "Matt..." "Are you in there?" "I hear you, Mrs. Carson." "Newman." "Hello, Max." "Hi, Newman." "Hi, Josh." "Are you alone?" "Yes." "Hey, I've got an idea." "Why don't we rent a camper for a few days, huh?" "Get out in the outdoors..." "Do some hiking, do some backpacking." "What do you think?" "[Matthew's voice] Great." "Ok." "See you then." "Bye-bye." "[Matthew] Hey!" "Que pasa, dudes?" "Dad!" "Where were you?" "Squeezed into a microchip." "Oh, Matt." "Hi, Sarah." "Hi." "Hi, Steve." "I'm Matthew Carson..." "Well, I, uh, I used to be." "Nice to meet you." "Likewise, Steve." "Likewise, Steve." "Hi, Beth!" "Hi." "Matt..." "Sarah, I've got to go back." "I just..." "Wanted to say goodbye." "I don't want you to go, dad." "You can't go now." "I have to, Max, but everything's going to be ok for all of you." "I promise." "You're going to have a great life." "I love you, dad." "I love you, too, Josh." "I always will..." "But you've got to let me go back." "I belong up there now." "Help me get back." "What do you say, Josh?" "We got to send him back." "Dr. Einstein..." "If you're still out there, please help take Mr. Carson back." ""O"..." ""K"..." "Ok." "Thanks, Al." "I owe you one." "Take good care of them, Steve." "I will." "And, uh..." "Oh, may I recommend an occasional foot massage?" "Hmm?" "Ok." "Remember, I'll always be with you..." "In some form or other." "Bye, dad." "Bye." "So long, guys." "I'll be sure to give grandma Millie your love." "We love you, Matt." "I love you, too." "Ok, Al..." "Beam me up." "I'm coming, grandma!" "That's it." "[Knock on door]" "Boys, Mrs. Carson," "I've just been on the phone with your dad." "He said to come right over." "He did?" "[Kilbrandt] Isn't he here?" "No." "He just left." "Oh, shucks." "He told me you wanted to reconsider my offer." "What?" "Isn't that true?" "[Beep beep beep]" "Guess dad knows what's best." "Yep." "That's wonderful, but where is he?" "I don't know..." "But I know he'll be back..." "In some form or other." "Right, Newman?" "You bet, Josh."
