03x05 - Fixing Frobo/Anne-sterminator

Post by bunniefuu »

[car honks]

[dog barks]

And now the Internet.

The answers to the mysteries
of the universe,

right at your fingertips.

It's an endless well
of knowledge.

More like an endless well
of cat videos.

[meowing]

[all] Aw.

Do you think
he's self taught?

♪ Meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

[all] Ooh!

[clattering]
[all] Huh?

Guys, guys, guys!
I did it!

I fixed Frobo!

Come on!
Check it out!

- Fixed him?
- [mumbling] Uh...

Okay, show us Frob...

- What the hay?
- Uh...

So, what do you think?

Pretty impressive, right?

Ow!

Impressive's one way
to put it.

You guys ready for this?

Polly, I don't think
you should turn him on yet.

Yeah. Are you sure you even know
what you're doing?

Of course I know
what I'm doing, Anne.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

- Something's supposed to happen, right?
- [all scream]

Finally, my new one of a kind
limited edition controller just came in.

Aw.

Meow! [hisses]

Polly, what were you thinking?
You could've just k*lled us.

Sorry, sorry. I know he's got
some kinks to work out but...

Nuh uh. Enough of this.

I forbid you from working
on this robot further.

I'm with Hop Pop,
Polly.

I think we should wait till
we get back to Amphibia.

Then maybe we can find someone
who knows robots, you know?

I know you miss him.
We do too.

But you just need
to be patient.

Hey, how about a new
robot friend to play with?

This is Teddy Lumpkins.
He used to be my best friend.

I eat eyes...

- [both gasp]
- What the...

cream.
I eat ice cream.

- Oh.
- Well, that's fine.

Loggle would like
this thing.

How dare you?
Frobo can't be replaced!

I want to nibble
your fingers.

[giggles]

[all shudder]

Okay, creepy bears aside,

don't work on Frobo.

[sighs]

Maybe you guys are right.

Wow, that's surprisingly
mature of you.

- Mm hmm.
- Hey, can I borrow your laptop?

I don't see why not.

[grunts]

"Eh, I forbid you.
It's too dangerous."

[scoffs]

The look on their faces

was pretty funny, though,
huh, Frobes?

Oh, right.
You're still broken.

But don't worry.
We can fix you.

I just need
to educate myself.

Anne did say you can
learn anything you want on the Internet.

I guess we should
give it a try.

Fasten your seat belt,
Frobes. We're going in.

[mechanical beeping]

[dog barking]

[frogs croaking]

[g*nf*re]

Well, that was two hours of my life
I'll never get back.

Oh, hey, what's this?

"IT Gals. Just two girlfriends
who really love robots."

Cool!

[Ally]
Isn't he adorable?

[Jess] I just can't
with that belly.

Just goes to show,
anyone can make and maintain a robot

if you have the will,
the know how...

and our step by step
tutorials.

[both] And remember,
if it doesn't compute, it's time to reboot.

[both scream]

Welp, that's all
I needed to hear.

[Jess] Welcome to the IT Girls
Self Help Playlist.

First up, gearing up.

The keywords are safety...

[Ally] ...and style.

[Ally] If you find that
you're having problems with the sockets...

[Jess] ...try finding any problematic
lug nuts and tightening them up.

[Ally] Connect the red
and blue wires.

[Jess] Don't forget
to add cosmetics for flavor.

[Ally] You'll be surprised what tools
you'll find just lying around the house.

[Jess] All right, it's time
for today's topic.

Souls.
Do robots have them?

[mechanical groaning]

It is our belief
that anything with memories has a soul.

And boy, do robots have memory.
Am I right?

[snorts] You've heard from us,
now we wanna hear from you.

Chime in down below
in the comments.

Interesting query, ladies.
But I think I'm just about finished.

[groans] Why aren't
you turning on?

Hmm...

It's time to call in
the big g*ns.

[dialing]

- Hello!
- How's it going?

Uh, hi. My name's Polly.
Big fan.

Long story short,
I have a bit of a robotics issue.

Oh, my gosh!

Is that a robot?

He's beautiful.

[mechanical groaning]

Out of my way,
Pandatron.

Tell us everything.

Well, he had a bit
of an accident.

I think I've done a pretty
sweet job of putting him back together,

but he just
isn't powering on.

Well, what are you using
as a power source?

I just took some batteries
out of the TV remote.

[chuckles] Oh, no.
That will never be enough.

You could try
a battery module

with a compatible connector
and corresponding voltage.

Like the kind they put in
those creepy animatronic children's toys.

I think I've got
just the thing.

Oh, but Polly, I definitely wouldn't
turn him on in your garage.

Yeah, you'd need to be
in a big space, like a warehouse,

and have tons
of fire extinguishers.

That thing looks like
it's capable of a lot of output.

I'll say it again.
Do not do this at home.

Heck, we can actually
help you rent a space.

- It'll take a couple of weeks, but we...
- Thanks, girls.

I'll take that into consideration.
Bye!

Do you think
she's gonna turn that thing on?

Oh, yeah.

Just a nibble. I swear.

This is it.
When I hit this button, he'll be back.

[gasps]

I should get the fam.

[man on TV] I hate gravel. It's bumpy
and bothersome. And it gets everywhere.


[woman on TV]
I love you.

[g*nf*re]
[woman screams]

I still can't believe
you guys like the prequels more.

Look, Anne, we just watched them
in order with no context.

You can't blame us
for not having nostalgia.

I did it!
I fixed him!

[all] You what?

I thought you were looking
at cat videos.

Gosh! Dang it, Polly!
You outfoxed me again.

There was deception, yes.

But I got help on the Internet,

and now if I press
this button, he'll be back.

Yay, right?
Say it with me now.

Yay!

Didn't I forbid you
from working on him?

It's way too dangerous
for you to be messing around

with things
you don't understand.

Yeah, my hair is still singed

from the last time you
"knew what you were doing."

What if when you turn
him on this time, he blows off your legs?

You just got your legs.

It's awesome
that you fixed him,

but I think we should wait

till we get back to Amphibia
to turn him on.

Just to be safe.

Seconded.
Thirded.

I don't believe this!

After all of the work
I've done,

after how much I've missed him,
you three wanna leave him dead?

Well,
who needs you guys?

Wait! Polly,
get back here!

[Hop Pop] Polly,
don't do it!

It could be dangerous!

I ain't waiting another second
to see my best friend again.

Polly!
[all gasp]

All right!
One more hit,

and this ten hour boss battle
will finally be over.

[gasps]

[electrical whir]

Start up engage.

Model number F R.
Factory settings restored.

Frobo, is that you?
It's me. Polly.

Username not recognized.

Will now attempt
to make contact with headquarters.

A higher vantage point
is necessary.

A higher vantage point?

Whoa!

[screams]

Hang on, Polly!

[pants]

Oh, no. Look!

- Booster malfunction detected.
- [alarm beeping]

Oh! That can't be good.

[powers down]

[screams]

Hey, do you guys know Polly? Little
kid, has a tail, built a crazy robot?

[Polly screaming]

[both]
Oh, my gosh!

[alarm beeping]
Frobo!

We're in big trouble!

Please, it's me! Polly.
You've got to remember.

Oh, Frobo.
I just missed you so much.

And now we're both
gonna die.

I'm so sorry.

- [humming]
- [heartbeat thumping]

I will call you Frobo.

Can we please keep him?
I'll be his big sister.

Polly, I will save you.

Frobo! [echoing]

Po... Polly.

Frobo, you're back!

Yay!

Quick, do something!

We're about to hit the ground!

[alarm beeping continues]

[groans]

She's okay!

Oh, thank frog!
[sighs]

You guys were right.

I was so impatient
with bringing him back to life

that I k*lled him
all over again.

[sobbing]

[Frobo]
Po... Polly.

[gasps] Frobo!

You big,
lovable lug.

I'll fix you right this time
and be slow and careful.

No matter how much
I miss ya.

[all] Aw!

- Sturdy!
- Impressive!

Looks like his hard drive
is still in one piece at least.

I think next time,
we just need to tune the PID controllers.

Oh, yeah! Increase his lateral
and longitudinal stability.

- Totally.
- Hmm.

I'm just curious. What was the
covariance of the pose estimate

coming out of
the SLAM module?

Simultaneous Localization
And Mapping? Well...

Wow, Polly really got into
this computer stuff, huh?

Hmm. Maybe we should a used the interwebs
to educate ourselves too,

instead of
watching cat videos.

Did someone say
cat videos?

♪ Meow, meow, meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

[all laugh]

Ain't that cute?

[screams]
The backyard!

[frogs croaking]

[whirring]

[beeping]

What's good, Cloak Bot?

- Checking in to see how things are going.
- Did you get the book?

Book secure.

Why that's great!
W Wait!

That... That's book three.
You rusty bucket! I need book two.

Book two out of stock.

[grunts]
Olms have mercy.

Next you're gonna tell me
Anne isn't dead yet.

Working on it.

Well, looks like we'll
have to up the stakes.

[beeping]

You have one hour
to destroy that kid,

or the b*mb planted
in your chest will destroy you.

Okay, cool. Andrias out.

[alarm blares]

[beeping]

[beeping]

[TV Announcer]
A blood thirsty predator

meets all American engineering
in Fumigator .


[people screaming]

[slurps] Ah!

[all] Ooh!

You know, Anne, it really is remarkable
how much you have grown.

Aw, thanks, Mom.

I mean, you used to be
so irresponsible.

Like "change the grade
on your report card" irresponsible.

[chuckles] Didn't think
you guys knew about that.

But you really
changed.

And you have been so up front and honest
with us this whole time.

Right. Up front and honest.

We're just so proud
of you.

- Come here, sweetie.
- Bring it in.

[groans]

Hey! I'm gonna go
get some coffee ice cream.

Anyone want any?

- Sprig?
- Eh, I'm good.

Whoa! [grunts]
Hey, what gives?

I can't do this anymore.

What?
Eat coffee ice cream?

I agree.
It's pretty risky after :.

No! My folks.
I never told them about Andrias,

or the robot hunting us,
or the honking invasion.

[groans]

They think I'm being
up front and honest,

but I'm not.

But you said this was

the only way they'd be okay
with any of this.

I know, but it's not right.

I'm going to tell them
everything, right now.

- Great.
- Mom, Dad.

There's something
I have to tell you.

What is it, sweetie?

[sighs]
Well, the thing is...

[crash]

- What the heck was that?
- Huh?

- Anne, what's going on?
- Get down!

Everyone upstairs.
Move.

Quick!
Into my workout room.

Okay, we can hide out here,
while we... um...

Mom, this is not a workout room!

Yes it is.
When I thought you ran away,

it's where I work out
all my stress.

Wait. Why is this one
dressed like a doctor?

A mom can dream, can't she?

Why do I get the feeling
I'm not living up to your expectations?

[beeping]

Multiple Anne Boonchuy's
confirmed.

It's after you?
What?

Eliminating.

[yells]

Okay. Maybe there's a couple of things
I haven't told you guys.

Honey, why is there
a robot chasing us?

Well, the thing is...
And I was totally gonna tell you.

The King of Amphibia
kinda has it out for us...

She punched him in the face!
[chuckles]

Anne!
You what?

Eyes on the road!
Eyes on the road!

[panting]

[tires squealing]

[barking]

Hey! No bark.

Can't this robo snail
go any faster?

I'm sorry, I'm not use to
running for my life from a crazy robot.

I know just how you feel, Mr. B. Why,
the first time that robot att*cked us...

This isn't
the first time?

You're not helping!

- [tires screeching]
- [horn honks]

[all yelling]

[yells]

Oof! Your backhand is
looking pretty rusty. Dad!

[yells]

Looks like they started filming
the next Fumigator movie early.

There's a split coming up!
Which freeway should I take?

I don't know, the ?
At this hour? It'll be jammed!

- Guys?
- Hang on. I'll look at traffic on my app.

Make sure you don't use MapSearch.
That one is no good!

Dad, turn!

[all yell]

[tires squeal]

[Dad]
Hopefully, he stops.

All right, Dad!
That was awesome!

Can you take me
for driving lessons?

Did we lose it?
I hope so.

[yells]

[laughing]

[tires squeal]

Hurry, everyone.
Hide.

[alarm beeps]

Okay, guys.
I think we're safe for now.

Anne Savisa Boonchuy,
what is going on?

What do you mean?
There's a giant robot trying to k*ll us.

I thought that was clear.
Yes.

But why, Anne? Why?
Is there something you want to tell us?

Mom, take it easy.

Honey, maybe
we should hear her out.

No! She's lying to us!

You've done something
haven't you?

That's why that thing
is after us!

It's complicated.

I knew it!
We were wrong about you.

You're still the same irresponsible
little girl who used to cut class.

When are you going to grow up? When
are you going to stop getting in trouble?

When, Anne? When?

I don't know, okay?
[echoing]

I don't know when I'll be the daughter
you want me to be.

And I'm sorry.
It's true, I did lie.

But I did it to protect the people
I really care about.

Hey...

I've learned so much from you two
these past few weeks.

I finally appreciate
how much you've done for me.

Now I'm asking for your help.

Please.
I can't do this without you.

We're with you, Anne.
Right, Mom?

I don't know.
Isn't this all just too much?

[rumbling, crashing]

So, is there a plan?
Really hoping for a plan.

Hey, Mom, feel like putting
your artistic skills to use?

[rapid beeping]

[cloak bot] Target confirmed.

[Anne] Hey! Metal head!
Lookin' for me?

Whoa, mama! You work fast!

It's all about rhythm, baby.

Now, guys!

[all yelling]

[all yelling]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[grunts]

[screams]

Ah! No, no, no!

Target confirmed.
Mission complete.

[Mom] Hey, robot!

Leave my daughter alone!

[screams]

[groaning]

[panting]

Wow, Mom! Good arm!

[laughing]

You, too.

- Whoa.
- That was crazy, you guys.

I like your style,
Mrs. B.

Were you surprised
by that display of ferocity, Mr. Boonchuy?

No.

[laughing]

Self destruct
in T minus ten... nine...

Oh, no!
That thing's still loaded.

- What do we do?
- All that and we're still toast?

[Anne] Not on my watch!

[grunts]

[groans, panting]

Anne?
What was that?

Gosh, guys.
I have so much to tell you.

Honestly, Mrs. Boonchuy,
Anne has just been trying to...

Protect you three.
I get it now.

Whatever it is you guys need to do,
we'll do it together.

[all] Aw...

Aw.

The driver always gets
left out of the group hug.

Can you guys
just imagine I'm there?

Get HQ on the line.
This may be the real deal.

It's time to call Mr. X.
