Hey, I'll trade you
my peanut butter

for your salami.

Yeah, sure,
when pigs fly.

[grunting]

whoosh!

fwap!

[groans]

I hate salami.

fling!

whoosh!

They're splitting up.

Jenny needs my help.

This looks like a job
for Action Brad.

smack!

This little piggy
went to market.

smash!

crash!

[grunts]
I always get the cart
with the broken wheels.

whoosh!

This little piggy
stayed home.

smash!

I told you
we should get insured

against robotic
farm animals,

but no!

whoosh!

This little piggy
had roast beef.

This little piggy
had none.

sproing!

That's
not kosher.

This little piggy went
wee-wee-wee-wee-wee-wee-wee...

all the way home.

Nice work today,
Brad.

See you.

Yeah, whatever.

How can I get
a real piece of the action

when Jenn hogs it all
to herself?

Nothing cool ever happens to me.

[Tuck]
Whoa!

This is the coolest thing
that's ever happened to me!

What is it, Tuck?

I was just digging around
the garbage, and I found this:

a bona fide-ee
treasure map.

Come on, let's get Jenny
and find the treasure.

Yeah!

No, wait.

I can do this myself--

exploring
dark caves.

gulp!

Unearthing
decaying skeletons!
Uh!

Dueling
bloodthirsty pirates!

[screams]

Ah, you go ahead.

I'll just stay here
with my nice, safe garbage.

But I get half the treasure.

Deal, but whatever you do,
don't tell Jenny.

Incidentally, why were you
rummaging through the dump?

I don't understand
the question.

Onward to adventure!

[cooing]

X marks the spot.

I don't get it.

I followed the--

Wait a sec.

A cereal box!

What a dope I am.

I'll never be a heroooo!

Ah!

Oh, oh, ah, oof, oh, ah!

Ah!

Oof!

Whoa!

An underground lair.

Now we're talking.

[electric crackling]

Ah!

Stop!
Come back!

Hey, Tuck,
have you seen--

Is that a snowman?

Of course not.

He's made of garbage,
not snow.

Right.

Say, do you know
where Brad is?

I do, but I am
sworn to secrecy,

a bond between brethren
that cannot broken!

An oath
written in blood!

We found a treasure map,
and he went off

seeking adventure.

Crikey.

That could be
dangerous.

Hey, half the treasure's mine!

Okay, this is a little more
adventure than I...

wanted?

What are you
doing here?

This place is rampant
with robotic swine.

I got to get you
out of here.

No, this way.

whoosh!

You did good
back there, kid.

I'm Brad Carbuckle,

heroic adventurer
extraordinaire.

My name's Melody.

What's a pretty girl
like you

doing in a dark, creepy,
swine-filled place like this?

[laughs]
I'll explain that later.

Come on, I want you
to meet my dad.

Wow, you don't waste any time,
do you?

But first, I got to
get us out of here.

[Melody]
Daddy, this is Brad.

He was lost in the tunnels.

Thank goodness you found him,
Melody.

I was afraid
he'd be frightened off

by our little
experiments.

I'm not scared of you
or your evil creatures.

Well,
maybe a little.

They are pretty
vicious-looking.

I am Dr. Locus,
a state-sanctioned geobiologist.

I have been engineering
bionic farm animals

with special powers

to make them better,
stronger, faster.

So you're not evil?

Oh, goodness, no.

My sui-swine may look scary,
but they're as harmless

as a bioengineered
nonreproductive fly.

But they were on the surface,
wreaking havoc.

They were probably just enjoying
their new flying ability.

It's not quite perfected.

But someone could have
gotten hurt.

If XJ9 hadn't intervened--

XJ9? Was that the robot I saw
defeating my little porkers?

Yeah, Jenny.

She's my best friend.

She was amazing.

Say, perhaps you could call her
and ask her to come over.

I'd love to, uh, um,
pick her brain

about her more advanced
functions.

Uh, actually, I kind of
got to get going.

Aw.

Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.

Let me show you
the way out.

slam!

Daddy, what are you doing?

When XJ9
comes for you,

I shall steal
the secrets

of her weapons
technology

and thus enact
my master plan.

Which is what,
exactly?

I'm a scientist, lad,
not a mad scientist.

I'm not
going to tell you.

Come, Melody.

[Melody]
Daddy, no!

Brad!

Some adventurer
I turned out to be.

I'm a failure!

[echoing]
Failure, failure, failure...

That sounds
like Brad's pathetic whine

coming from underground.

[mechanical whirring]

[Brad]
All I wanted to do was be
a hero like Jenny.

Now I'm in this mess
because I was jealous of her.

Think, Brad.

WWJD--what would Jenny do?

She wouldn't give up.

That's for sure.

I'm breaking out
of here.

clang!

Ow! Owie, owie!
Golly wolly goshy cakes!

That hurts!

Aw, poor Brad.

He deserves
to feel good about himself,

even if it's completely
unjustified.

Okay, can't give up.

Maybe if I got
more of a running start.

ting!

crash!

Wow, I didn't even

feel the wall that time.

I must not know my own strength.

ting!

Ow!

Ha!

Trap floors.

How corny can you get?

Alley-oop.

Whoo-hoo!

thud!

All right, I'm almost out.

I've had it
with you pigheaded pigs.

Come get some, bacon breath.

Uh, uh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

[metal crunching
and glass shattering]

[gasps]

I did it.

Wait till Jenn hears about this.

Uh.

Oh, uh.

whoosh!

[electric crackling]

[cackles]

fling!

Brad!

What the--
how did--

what are you
doing here?

There's no time
to explain.

My dad has captured
your friend Jenny.

What?
What was she doing here?

[groans]

She must have been helping me
all along.

I'm such an idiot.

No, you're not, Brad.

You don't have to be
a superpowered robot

to be heroic.

You're brave and caring,
and I believe in you.

smooch

Take me back
to your dad's lab.

I'm going
to rescue Jenny.

[Locus]
The ingenious gadgets,

the intricate weaponry--

just what
my creatures need.

Now that I have her secrets,
nothing can stop me.

[Brad]
Not so fast, Locus.

We are not going to let you
get away with it.

Melody, come here.

She's with me, Doc.

Melody, you know
you must obey me.

Come here.

I'm sorry, Brad.

He's my father.

I must obey him.

Yeah, well,
unexpected defections aside,

um, release Jenny,
or I'll--I'll--

I've got
what I need.

Take her.

[mechanical whirring]

Brad,
you came for me.

Just repaying
the favor.

Can you walk?

Not with this inhibitor
on my neck.

I can't get it off.

Metal body
too heavy.

Can't lift!

[Locus]
Struggle in vain, boy.

I can't let you leave
now that you know my secrets.

What secrets?
You didn't tell me anything.

So I guess I'll have to
bury you with them.

[rumbling]

Daddy,
this is madness!

If destroying
everything I built

to keep a young boy quiet
is madness,

I don't want
to be sane!

beep!

[mechanical whirring]

[Melody]
Braaad!

Come on, Jenn.

You helped me before.

Together,
we can still make it.

But I--

bash!
bash!

bash!

whoosh!

smash!
smash!

smash!

[Tuck]
Brad, Jenny, I felt
the catastrophic shaking

on the other side
of town!

So where's my treasure?

Sorry, Tuck,
I didn't find any treasure.

Well, that figures.

I knew you were no adventurer,
Brad.

Hey,
he just rescued me

from the clutches
of a deranged lunatic.

Brad is a hero.

It's okay, Jenn.

You don't
have to pretend.

I know you've
been helping me.

I helped you
break out, sure,

but since the doctor
put this inhibitor on,

I haven't been able
to move a muscle.

[mechanical whirring]

wobble!
crash!

[mechanical whirring]

Her weapons systems
were the most advanced

I've ever seen,
Melody.

Once I've equipped
you with them,

you will no longer
just be another android.

No, you shall be the most
powerful robot on earth.

[sighs]
Yes, Daddy.

But I don't get it.

There's no way I could have
leaped over caverns

and smashed rocks
on my own.

I could have sworn I felt
a robotic hand helping me.

I don't know
how you did it,

but you came
to my rescue,

and the bravery
was 100% Brad.

You're my hero.

Gross.

Give me junkyard rats
any day.

[alarm clock buzzing]

zap!

ding!
smash!

Stupid alarm.

Mom will wake me up.

Oh, my gosh.

What time is it?
Mom!

This is so not like her
to let me sleep in...

or enjoy myself in any way.

crash!

Mom!

She's comatose.

I hate to do this.

I'm just not ready
to lose you.

XJ9!

Wah!

You're okay?

Yes, yes,
fit as a fiddle.

Got to bed a trifle late,
I guess.

[chuckles]

shimmer!

Well, go make yourself
some pancakes or something.

Uh, hello?

I'm a robot.

Slim Down shakes?

I didn't know mom
was trying to lose weight.

Ah!

Your face!

The barn needed painting.

Now, which one of these
should I wear?

I'm worried this one
will make me look fat.

You're already dressed.

Oh, ho, ho,
right, right.

Well, don't forget
to pick up the lawn

and water
your room.

[engine turns over]

[Jenny]
Mom, wait!

You're my ride to school.

[bell rings]

[man]
You're late.

My mom's been acting
really strange lately:

she's forgetful,
keeping odd hours,

and actually cares
about how she looks.

Whoa,
that's serious.

I know.

I don't want to think the worst,
but everything points to it.

Mind control.

No talking.

I was gonna say
alien possession,

but you're probably right.

No talking.

[Wakeman]
I'm going out.

Do I look r-r-ravishing?

Sure, Mom.

Oh, goody.

[chuckles]
Well, toodles.

I'm too late.

Her mind is gone.

[man chuckles]
Oh, Nora,
you always look lovely

when you're wiping
something off my nosey-wosey.

Oh, she's on a date.

She's on a date?

Ew.

You are indeed
a beauty,

but I must confess
it's your mind I'm in love with.

[guffaws]
Just stop it.

[wood cracking]

[Jenny]
Ah!

smash!

XJ9!

My,
what an entrance.

This must be
your daughter.

I'm so sorry,
Marty.

XJ9 knows better, but she is
so willful sometimes.

Yes, children's minds
just aren't as malleable,

unfortunately.

Okay.

Welcome to Creepsville,
population: you.

[cricket chirping]

Mom,
we need to go...

now!

Um, well,
perhaps we can

try again Friday night,
giggly-poo?

Of course,
my little woodpecker.

[laughing]

Uh?

Huh?

Well, ta-ta.

[Wakeman]
Ta-ta!

[sinister laughter]

[owl hooting]

[Jenny]
Why didn't you tell me

you were dating
that...guy?

Well, I didn't realize
I had to check with you

before I could
go out on a date.

But, Mom, he's creepy.

Did you hear
how he laughs?

[Marty's laugh on recording]

That's what I like
about him.

He's got such
a zest for life.

Now I want you to promise
you won't interfere.

Oh, fine.

He's in love
with my mind.

I want you
to be happy,

but there's something strange
about Mr. Rosien.

Oh, and speaking of Marty,
I asked him to join us.

Yes, XJ9,

it's time we got to know
each other better, because...

I'll be spending a lot of time
with your mother's brain!

[sinister laughter]

[Jenny]
Not so fast, Rosien!

Fish?

What the--

[all]
Yay!

Everybody
Bunny Hop!

[sinisterBunny Hop music]

Ah!

I hate theBunny Hop.

[Brad]
Jenny, it's
a single parent's job

to date creepy people.

This guy
is more than creepy.

I think
he's actually a villain

attempting to control
my mom's brain.

[Tuck]
All in a diabolical plot to get
one of her high-powered weapons!

Or worse!

Her cookie recipes.

Could be.

I mean,
why else would anyone

want to go out
with your mom?

Oh, I don't know.

She's really quite charming

for a woman of her age, and--

[tires squealing]

[chuckles]

I gotta
check this out.

We sing it
when the weather's fine.

[humming]

bump!

What?

It's all I had.

[Jenny gasps]

He's gonna rob the bank.

Yes, I'd like to make
a withdrawal.

The entire amount.

I'd like to cancel my account.

[sinister laughter]

Now,
that's suspicious.

[cat screeches]

[sinister laughter]

I knew that man
was no good.

Ahem.

Oh, here's your
grilled cheese sandwich.

Okay, you guys
create a distraction

while I sneak
inside.

[Sheldon]
Okay, Brad, you create
a diversion while I help Jenny.

[Brad]
Okay, Tuck, you be the bait
while I go and hide.

knock, knock, knock!

I will win your mind and heart.

You will be putty in my hands.

You will be under

I was right.

He is trying
to control her mind.

I don't know,

It's all pretty
circumstantial.

What?

He's
textbook evil.

The only thing he's missing
is a long, dark cape.

Okay, you might be
onto something here.

Either way, your mom
won't believe you without proof.

nervously]

I was going
to ask you to go,

but this family
is just too creepy for me.

I amso sorry.

Oh, XJ9, it's okay.

We both overreacted,

and I suppose
we learned something

about trusting and respecting
each other in the process.

I'm not sure what, exactly.

But I feel so bad.

I've ruined
your first relationship

in, like, years.

First relationship?

I go out more than scientists
and nerds half my age.

What do you think I do when
you're off saving the world?

Your mom is a catch.

Well, no sense in these

You can keep
