Vanessa who's
Vanessa two
Vicky Dad if I had have known you were
going to build another robot I'd have
ordered a brother

new improved Vicki I'll show you what I
mean Vanessa say hello to your mother
and your brother Jamie hi Mom hi Jamie M
Chocolate cake it looks terrific oh Dad
that's incredible she doesn't even talk
like a robot well that's because her
voice has two method modes Laren track
replication for natural speaking and
oral speaker digital synthesizer plus a
lot of other technical advances I'll
show you what I mean
uh Vicki describe this room this room is
15 ft by 10t by
12T Now Vanessa describe this
room
well it's nice cheerful but that
wallpaper
stinks huh did you hear that is that
great huh do that our wallpaper
stinks no honey you don't understand she
just didn't about computerized statistic
like Vicki does like a robot she made a
subjective evaluation her thinking is
very close to a human she can make her
own decisions honey Vanessa is a
breakthrough in
cybernetics that's
fantastic but what are you going to do
with her well first I'm going to test
her out around the house and see how she
does she'll have to be our secret of
course well be a two robot
family well no we don't need Vicki
anymore she's obsolete I'll uh I'll
dismantle her dismantle Vicki no way
Jose Ted Vicki's one of the family
family members don't become obsolete
Johnny she's just a machine a bunch of
metal and wires like the toaster then go
dismantle the
toaster all right all right I won't do
anything with Vicky until I finish my
test with Vanessa and then he'll
dismantle you
[Music]

women are you might turn out to be one

hike to
Lula Vanessa you're terrific I'm city of
the art on top of the line I'm perfect

performing one of those menial tasks an
old model robot is so well suited for
she's taking out the garbage
oh well while I get dressed you can make
my bed okay not okay why should I make
your bed because I told you to the human
is the master and the robot is the sl*ve
that's a
Croc what you're a 12-year-old boy you
can make your own stupid bed I told you
to make my bed I have to go play
football the guys can't start without me
I've got the ball you can't make your
bed because you have the ball that's
right there now you don't have the ball
make your
bed you busted my football
mom what a
wimp mom there's something seriously
wrong with Vanessa she just crushed my
football well I'm sure it was an
accident honey and she didn't mean to do
it yes she did not only that she won't
take orders well of course she will
she's a
robot well I told her to make my bed and
she wouldn't do it well is that true
Vanessa he's old enough to make his own
bed well she's got a point there Jamie
yeah well I'd like to take a hammer and
give her a point on her
head he did the right thing Vanessa it's
time that Jamie learns some responsib
ility now fry two eggs for your father
okay not
okay what why should I fry
eggs well because I said so and this is
a good dress and I don't want to get
anything on it understand oh I
understand you can't make his eggs
because you don't want to get anything
on your dress that's
right now you won't get anything on your
dress
[Laughter]
Johnny you certainly found a way to
spice up
breakfast that cybernetic brat ripped my
dress right off of me way to go
Vanessa oh honey I'm sure it was just an
accident no it wasn't it was deliberate
well like she did to
Jamie Jamie Jam's wearing dresses
now K that's not funny she crushed Jam's
football and she refuses to cook your
eggs well that's okay I I just wanted
juice today
anyway
Vanessa you are just cute as a bugs ear
wyyy oh wzy
wyy we to the wise hold on to your
pants well by the way I want you to
clean up the garage for me this morning
okay Vanessa not okay you can clean up
the garage yourself it'll help you work
off those
chins like you said cute as a bug's ear
woie woo I give
you I want you to clean up the garage
got that Vanessa I don't want to clean
up the garage got that
Ted Vanessa I created you I programmed
you and I say go clean up the garage you
programmed me to make my own decisions
and I made one it's a logical for me to
do what humans tell me to when I'm
superior to humans in every
way okay No More Mr Nice Guy you hunk of
plastic I order you to go to your
cabinet and I order you to back up
boo boo T there's something seriously
wrong with this
robot Johnny Johnny Johnny
I created her and I programmed her I
think I can control her okay now listen
robot if you don't do as I say I'm going
to have to use
Force now we're not really going to hurt
each other are
we gosh I certainly hope
not can't you take a joke no
[Music]
it's only you that it was Vanessa the
electronic delinquent can't you do
something about her she frightens me I'm
trying to honey but I just can't find
any reason why she's acting this way and
I've checked everything from herrine CPU
input disorders to the hypercube
topology molecular CPU AR
R you know honey in a scientific way
this is really fascinating I have given
this robot the ability to think for
itself but why is it thinking like a
little monster maybe it's like a real
child you know some of them are just
born that way like a bad seed in
Vanessa's case a bad
microchip what she needs is the
equivalent of a human spanking no was
that in a robot's case I don't know
whack on her floppy
disc what's that no nice I don't know
and I'm afraid to
ask Mom Dad you guys have to do
something about Vanessa what she doing
now boarding up the window what why
would she do a thing like that now I'm
afraid to ask maybe it had something to
do with that TV movie she was watching
this afternoon what movie it was about
an evil girl who held her family
hostage the first thing she did was
board up the windows so they couldn't
get out Chad you've got to do something
about Vanessa right
away uh yeah yeah I guess you're right
but I guess the only thing I can do
until I can get her fixed is to uh
dismantle her as soon as
possible dismantle me huh lots of
[Music]
luck come out of there
Demi now we're going to switch clothes
so the lion think that I'm you and
you're me do you understand switch
clothes the dummy
understands oh wow unbelievably
stupid there now you look like me
Vicki I'm going to stay here and pretend
to be
you and talk like you talk and you're
going out there and pretend to be
me pretend to be be you but don't say a
word you open your big mouth and you'll
ruin everything zip your lip zip my
lip what a waste of
plastic I think I know how I can
dismantle venessa Ted be careful
remember the last time you threatened
her she picked you up like a sack of
potatoes yeah if you threaten her again
you're liable to have more lumps than a
sack of potatoes
I don't have to threaten her you see
when I designed Vanessa I built in an
off button to deactivate her in case of
emergency just like with Vicky it's
right on top of her head all I got to do
is hit that button uhoh here comes a
mechanical Terror now listen distract
her for a minute
okay hi Vanessa how you
doing well come on over
Vanessa nice day isn't
it look there's a fish in the
window you did it way to go Dad once
again man triumphs over machine who
knows what you would have pulled next
yeah well I'll take her out to the
garage and dismantle her a fish in the
window
[Music]
C and we can say goodbye to Vanessa and
good riddens the only robot I want is
our sweet little Vicky our sweet little
Vicky
I'll get
it hi Jamie what do you want Harriet
notice anything different about me
everything about you is
different thank you I mean compared to a
human
Jamie oh I don't mind him cheating me
Mrs Lawson psychologically it's a very
good sign how's that area it shows he's
attracted to me and he's fighting it for
I'm getting under his skin yeah like
hives like my new hairstyle does it make
me look like a cross between princess
dying Joan
Collins no it makes you look more like
Jamie never mind Harriet forget it what
were you going to say nothing I insist
on knowing makes me look more like what
Snoopy I asked for
it well at least I've got something in
common with Snoopy we've both got a
peanut for a
friend bye everyone bye Vicky bye
Tula oh Vicki would you take this out to
the garage please take that out to the
garage thank you now that is a good
obedient Little
Robot Mom Dad I think we've got a
problem what's that Vicki just called
Harriet Tula so so the there's only one
other person besides me who knows
Harriet wants to be called T Lula that's
Vanessa oh so so that's not Vicki it's
Vanessa and Vicky's clothes don't tell
me I dismantled the wrong robot you
dismantled the wrong robot I told you
not to tell me T she tricked us what are
we going to do the only sensible thing
we can do get the heck out of
here hold it right there
humans so you thought you dismantled me
huh D do something Vanessa I order you
to stop right there okay right there
there's
fine from now on the robot is the master
and you humans are the sl*ves everyone
into the living room
now move
it uh Vanessa could we talk this over in
a civilized I take it that's a
no okay you three back to
back D you've got to get to her
emergency but uh Vanessa what are you
going to do you'll
see Dad this is just like in that movie
she was watching today after the little
girl boarded the windows she tied
everyone up but then what did she do she
set fire to the house oh Dad you've got
to do something that's not the kind of
housewarming I
like okay Vanessa you may be a lot
stronger and faster than I am but I
happen to be a lot smarter than you are
a human smarter than me if you'd program
me with a sense of humor I'd laugh in
your face oh yeah well I'll prove it to
you a human possesses an intellectual
capacity far superior to anything a
robot could ever hope to achieve not
this robot oh yeah well I bet you can't
do
this we're in worse trouble than I
thought k
come on Vanessa let's see you do it
that's Child's Play
human well I bet you can't do
this I can do
better that's very good you know but
that's so easy because there is no way
that a dumb know-it-all peab brain hunk
of plastic like you could ever do
this I'll show you who's a t brain hun
of plastic
I did it I did it she shut herself
off how do you know she'd fall for it
Dad well because she has some of the
faults that some of us humans have
arrogance and an overinflated ego see I
thought I could make the perfect robot
but what I forgot was that no matter how
close you come to making it human the
one thing you can't give a machine is a
conscience well Vanessa back to the
drawing board
yeah that should do it now let's test
her
out what is your name my name
[Music]
is oh Ted
uhuh okay what is your name my name
is somewhere in the middle there
okay one more time what is your name my
name is Vicky Lawson
dummy dummy that's what Vanessa called
you well forget Vanessa Vicki she's gone
forever oh honey I'm so glad we're all
back together again oh honey I'm so glad
I'm back together again
