04x11 - Space Elevator

[bunniefuu]

Heads up, we got a
visitor coming.

Is it a government agent,
coming to take us away?

Our secrets been out for a year.
Why would they take us away now?

Let's just say,
I've done some things.

It's my chief scientist
Dr. Ryan.

He is by far the smartest man
I have ever worked with.

[ Pointedly clearing throat ]
Ahem!

Oh, you are right. I am sorry. I am the
smartest man I have ever worked with.

[ Giggles ]

Dr. Ryan was head
of his class at MIT.

And he's been Davenport Industries'
employee of the month twice!

That's never happened.

Well, except, of course for me.

You named yourself employee of
the month at your own company?

I think you love
you a little too much.

It's not because I love myself.

It's because I am
better than everyone else.

Hey, hey! Wassup, dudes?

Lady dude.

This is your
esteemed chief scientist?

And employee of the month! Got the
parking space and everything.

I don't drive, but my mom
uses it when she picks me up.

That's right, twenty-eight,

still living rent-free in my
parents' basement. Jealous?

No.

Dr. Ryan is here to construct
and test Davenport Industries

new space elevator.

Space elevator?!

You see, this why
people are out of shape.

You should be
building space stairs.

It's a highly advanced transport

that climbs a tether all the
way to our space stations.

Since it's held up by gravity we can
resupply without ever using a rocket.

[angrily huffs ] Chase you look
confused and/or constipated.

Do you have a question?

Yes!

Why is he working on this?

The space elevator was my project.
I've been working on it for years.

Yes, but I had to pass it off so
you could focus on being a mentor.

Don't worry, Dr. Ryan's been
working off your research.

You gave him my research?!

Yes, and it's been very helpful.

It's always good to know what's
wrong so you can find what's right.

Oh, no.

Mr. Davenport,
you can't let him do this!

Check his résumé, Chase.

He is one of the greatest
minds of our time.

[ Dr. Ryan giggles ]

I just designed a photo
app that puts your face

on a dog's butt.

Oh! No argument here,
this guy is a genius.

The world's first bionic
superhumans.

They are stronger than us,

faster,

smarter,

The next generation
of the human race is...

Living on a bionic island.

[ Theme song playing ]

So that'll be the launch pad for the
space elevator. What do you think?

I'll have to do some
calculations, but...

sounds legit.

I already did the calculations,

in my head,
they are totally legit.

Well, then if you'll excuse
me, I need to get to work.

[ Plays air guitar ]

[ continues playing air guitar ]

What is he doing?
Shh.

It's his process.

This isn't fair.

You can't let him build
my elevator without me!

You know what?
You're right.

Dr. Ryan? I'm in the
bridge, I'm in the bridge.

Thank you, thank you.

[ Clapping ]

Proceed.
Oh...

I want Chase to join
you on the project.

Thank you.
As your assistant.

What?!

This guy is a joke.

I bet he doesn't even know
anything about tensor equations.

Not much, just that...

Tensors are used to represent
correspondences between sets

of geometric vectors for
applications in Newtonian physics.

Roughly.

Come on, Chase. You guys are
gonna make a terrific team.

Don't worry, assistant dude.

I'll make sure you're very
involved in the process.

I'll even let
you play air drums.

[ Plays air drums ]

Quick, catch my sticks.

[ Both play air guitar ]

As we come to the end
of our first scholastic term

here at the
Honorable Donald Davenport

World Famous Bionic Academy...

Pretty sure that's not the name.

Pretty sure
you didn't pay for it.

After reviewing
all your performances,

I'm happy to say that you will
all be moving up a color level.

[ Applause ]

And Leo will be moving
up two color levels.

Ooh!

Thank you, thank you. You know, as
a young boy, I never dreamed I'd...

Oh, just put the shirt on.

It's a bit big, don't you think?

Oh, my bad.

Got cold last night
so I wore it to bed.

I must've stretched
it in my sleep.

Why didn't you get a blanket?

'Cause I wanted
to stretch your shirt.

Guys, I didn't want to
say this in front of

the other students, but
not everyone passed.

[ Sighs ]
I've been expecting this.

And I have already written
my letter of resignation.

Not you.

There's still one student stuck
at the lowest level: yellow.

Who?

Yellow!

Wait, Bob is failing?

But he tried so hard.

Yeah, but he
is just not tough enough.

I'm worried he doesn't have the fight
it takes to become a bionic hero.

Wait, watch this.

Guys, we're under att*ck!

[ Bob screams ]

[ sighs ]

Look at this mess.

Don't you know how
to clean up after yourself?

Chase, geniuses can't be
bothered with little things like

cleaning and, uh...
[sniffs ]

personal hygiene.

Really? 'Cause I have no problem
cleaning up after myself.

And that's what
makes you a good assistant.

I am not your assistant!

I am a genius.

I am!

Right. Aren't you like
a really smart robot?

Which button do I push
to make you go away?

I'm not a robot!

But, you are pushing my buttons.

Oh, okay. You wanna go?

Come on. I take karate class
every Saturday at the mall!

Oh, yeah?
Karate, huh?

What, does your mommy
drive you to that too?

No! I ride my bike.

Oh, you ride your bike?
With its training wheels?

No! They are not training wheels,
they are horizontal stabilizers.

Back up.

Guys, break it up!

Big D sent me down here
to help you out.

So you guys need to both set aside
your differences and work together.

Whatever.
Fine.

I'll run some algorithms
for the tether gravity test.

And Chase, you can go over to that support
column and screw in the lug nuts.

Or...

I could use
my bionic intelligence

to work on the algorithm while
you screw in the lug nuts.

You know, I would,

but Davenport said
you work for me. So...

Lug it up, Robotron.
[ whirring ]

Okay, Bob, it's our job
as mentors to help you.

So we're gonna toughen you up.

Now you're on a mission.

Hundreds of lives are at stake.

And the only way to save them is to
punch this pad as hard as you can.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna call you guys!

Okay, and what if
we don't answer?

I am gonna leave a message and
wait for you to call me back.

No, Bob, you need
to punch the pad!

Right. Punch the pad.
I got this.

Aah!

I don't want to punch the pad.

Why not?

What did that pad ever do to us?

Nothing. But, if you
want to pass...

you have to hit it. I mean, you know
you have super strength, right?

Yeah, but I don't wanna
use it for fighting.

I only use it for
really important stuff.

Like opening
peanut butter jars...

and jelly jars...

and pickle jars.

You see where
I'm going with this?

This is hopeless.

Bob's never gonna move up to green.
You're right.

We just need to demote
everyone else back to yellow.

You know, maybe we need
someone else to teach him.

Someone who doesn't care
about his feelings.

Someone who can crush his
spirit and make him snap.

Move it!

Yellow!

T-bone, Lipstick!

Get on over here and
hold down the dummy.

I gotta work off
my morning meat loaf.

Looks like we are
ready to launch.

Hold it!
Whoa! Whoa!

I thought I told you guys
not to start without me.

Oh, Chase, geniuses
can't be bothered.

I am a genius. Stop telling
me what geniuses do.

I'm very impressed, you guys.

Because of you two, we're
about to make history.

Yes, thanks to
my expert engineering...

And if it wasn't for Chase,

the lug nuts would
still be in a tin can.

I didn't do the lug nuts.
Leo did.

And I did them well.

Behold, ladies and gentlemen,

you are looking at
the world's first

space elevator, and
my new haircut.

Which one is more impressive,
only time will tell.

Don't you think I should
do a microscopic scan

with my bionic eye first

just to make sure?
Tut! Tut! Tut!

Trust me. My work is flawless.

I graduated college
when I was fourteen.

Oh, yeah?
Well...

I went to high school

for a year and a half.

You showed him. I'm gonna
do this scan anyway.

Of course you are.

[ Beeping ]

[ chuckles ] A-ha!

There is a design flaw
in the braking system.

He won't be able to stop.

You serious?
Yeah.

We have to tell Dr. Ryan.
No. Wait.

What if we don't?

He'll be humiliated in front of
everyone and Mr. Davenport will...

Send him packing

and reassign you to
head the project.

That's a brilliant plan.

Shady, but brilliant.

Thank you. Now just
one more thing.

I need you...

to strap in the test dummy.

Oh, you won't be needing that.

I will be taking the
inaugural ride myself.

[ Screams ]

No, you can't.

Yes, I can.
Watch me.

Stop!
You're gonna die!

The capsule's soundproof.
I can't hear you.

But I read lips.
Say it again.

You're gonna die.

Oh, I guess I can't read lips.

It looks like you're
saying I'm gonna die.

[ laughs ]

Mr. Davenport's life
is in danger.

You have to abort the launch.

Trying to sabotage my moment
with straight up lies?

It hurts me to say this, but
you're out of the air band.

I'll just tell
Mr. Davenport myself.

Give me the comm set.
No!

[ Gasps ]
You broke my new comm set.

You owe me
$15.99.

Great! Now we can't
communicate with Big D.

I scanned your elevator.

There is a design flaw
in the braking system.

One of your genius algorithms

must've been off. And
you tell me now?

I take it back. You are
not a good assistant.

Ten...

Nine...

What are you doing? Seven...

Six...
Sorry.

I always get caught
up in countdowns.

Four...

Where is the abort button?

Why would I make an "I'm
going to fail" button?

Because you just failed!

[ Cheering ]

So do you think you can teach
Bob to be more aggressive?

It worked for you two.

Ol' Donnie D may
have created you

but it was my tough love that turned
you into teenage k*lling machines.

We don't k*ll people.

Not without my orders you don't!

Oh, you two should leave.

You're not gonna wanna see this.

Say good-bye
to the Bob you know.

Bye, Bob.

So, I hear you're a softy.

Well, I don't mean to brag but...
Quiet, grunt!

Say good-bye
to the Bob you know.

Bye, Bob.

[ Thundering sounds ]

[ cluttering ]

She does have
a way with children.

Whoa...

I gotta say, people,

from down here, it looks
like my launch was on point.

Really?

Once the elevator reaches
the end of the tether

Mr. Davenport will
be floating in space

with no way back!

I won't say anything
if you don't.

Guys! The elevator speed
keeps increasing!

I wonder if Big D even
knows how fast he's going.

[ Screaming ]

Okay, k*ller, let her rip!

[ Screams ]

Wow... Last time I told him
to let her rip,

he did something
completely different.

Very impressive.

How'd you do that so quickly?

Easy, I just told him a
few Perry w*r stories.

Like what?

That's between me and that
scarred-for-life little boy.

I don't get it. If all
you did was talk to him,

then what was with all the wall
shaking and awful animal noises?

Oh, that was
before I talked to Bob.

I dropped a dumbbell
on my last good toe.

That was the sound
of me chewing it off.

[ Mr. Davenport screams ]

I think I know how to stop it.
What if we...

No!

You don't have to. I
didn't even say anything!

I know it's gonna be wrong.

Hey, wait a minute.

Isn't the elevator
propelled by magnets?

BOTH: Duh!

So if we reverse the polarity,
won't it send Big D back down?

I know.
He's right.

What do we do?

I've never
been corrected before!

Oh, and I have?

Congratulations, you are the dumbest
geniuses I know, now fix this.

Here.
[ beeping ]

This should reverse the direction
of the magnetic current.

[ Beeping ]

Done.

[ Mr. Davenport screams ]

Oh.

[ Screams ]

It worked.

It's coming back down.

[Both] I did it! I did it!
I did it! I did it!

Guys?

There's still no way to stop it. And the
elevator is coming down ten times faster.

Both: He did it!

Congratulations on graduating
to the green level.

Ah, get on with it
and gimme my shirt!

Sorry, they we were out of
green ones, so I improvised.

Here's a white one
with avocado stains.

Way to go, Bob.

You're the last person
to graduate to the next level.

And I cannot wait for you to
almost fail again next year.

What he means is...

we're proud of you.

Are you kidding me?!

If you were proud you'd have
gotten me a real shirt!

[ Screams ]

I think you might have
pushed Bob a little too far.

Yeah!

He's out of control.

I know!

You've got to fix him.

No way. You wanna
make him nice again?

You people disgust me!

[ Spits ]

Get out of my space!

Bob!

You have got to stop that.

If you keep it up no one is going
to want to hang out with you.

Good!

But that means I won't
wanna hang out with you.

That's right you won't!

Whoa, what?

But you said you wanted me to
be aggressive and stuff...

my little Bumble Bree.

Yes, only when you're
training or on a mission.

Oh! Then why did Perry tell me
to be like that all the time?

Because she's Perry.

She is about to face
the wrath of new Bob!

[ Screams ]

New Bob versus old Perry.

Now that's a
cage match I gotta see.

Twenty seconds to impact!
What do we do?!

Look away.

Forget it, I'll save him.

No! Leo, get off
of that thing.

The elevator will crush you.

My bionic arm is strong
enough to stop it.

At that speed the impact will carry
all the way through your body.

My arm also absorbs energy.

Maybe it'll withstand
the impact.

It's too risky. I hate to
say it, but Chase is right.

It's coming!

We don't have a choice!

[ Grunting ]

[ cheering ]

I did it. I'm okay.

And it's heavy!

Mr. Davenport?

How did you get out
of the elevator?

I ejected using the parachute
I brought with me.

You don't think I trust my life
to some technology built by

a couple of kids
and an air guitarist, do you?

Hey, Leo.

What the...

You're not even in there?!

[ Screams ]

ALL: Ooh!

It's okay.

If I don't look,
it won't hurt as much.

I looked! I looked!
I looked!

[ Gasping ]

Leo, you're okay!

The doctor said his femur
and tibia bones were

broken so badly he'd
need a titanium rod put in.

Then Big D said that sounds

expensive and wheeled me
right out of the hospital.

That's not what really happened.

I was just worried he wouldn't be
able to go on missions anymore.

So I did the procedure myself.

Now he has a bionic leg.

Wait, so, thanks to you,

Leo got injured and now
has another bionic limb?

I'm beginning to question
your parenting skills.

You two are my brightest minds.
What happened out there?

We got so caught up in
proving to each other

how smart we are that we did
something really stupid.

I guess I need to learn
to work with others.

It just
ain't my "thang."

Yeah.
Neither is proper English.

Hey, Big D,
are you sure this worked?

My leg doesn't
feel any different.

Well, it may take a little while
for the bionics to kick in.

Oh!

Good thing my reflexes...

Whoa!

Ow!

Looks like it worked to me.
