Mechanical Marie
"Tropical Marie"

Narrator: Soon, Kalmia High's first semester will give way to the joys of summer vacation.

Allison: Have you made vacation plans?

Nicole: Well, my family's taking a trip, but it's nothing special.

Student : My cousin's coming to stay!

Student : I'll be in the pool all summer!

Homeroom Teacher: You failed your recent exams in two subjects.


Marie: Shock.

Homeroom Teacher: Makeup exams are in two days.

Homeroom Teacher: You'd better study for them!

Marie: Failing grades...

Arthur: Marie, what are these papers?

Marie: Yikes! Master Arthur's going to see I failed!

Arthur: Wh-What abysmal scores!

Arthur: I see what's going on. That g*ng of robot geeks wiped your memories of schoolwork too!

Marie: Y-Yes, it appears so.

Arthur: When are your makeup exams? You're on shaky ground right now.

Marie: The day after tomorrow.

Arthur: Kalmia High is known for producing great minds.

Arthur: Makeup exams here are practically a death knell.

Arthur: Because if you fail them,you'll be expelled on the spot!

Marie: Expelled?

Marie: An angry lecture from Roy will be the least of my worries.

Marie: I won't get to stand atMaster Arthur's side anymore.

Arthur: We'd better get Roy to download academic data into you right away.

Marie: Such an advanced installation would take approximately one week.

Arthur: Then we have no other recourse. Meet me in the library after school to study.

Noah: Oh, hey, Marie. Here to hit the books?

Marie: Noah.

Noah: You have makeup exams in two days, right?

Marie: How does Noah know that?!

Noah: Our teacher's got a loud voice.

Noah: I could hear everything from the hall.

Marie: Excuse me. I'm in a hurry.

Noah: I'll help you study.

Noah: I've got a knack for instruction.

Noah: Whoa!

Marie: Give me every assassin tool you're carrying. Now.

Marie: You knew Master Arthur and I were coming and planned a trap, didn't you?

Noah: Come on. It's nothing like that.

Noah: Sure, his trusty bodyguard getting expelled would make my job of k*lling him easier,

Noah: but it wouldn't make up for you being out of my life.

Noah: I just want to help you out.

Marie: I can't trust—

Arthur: M-M-Ma...

Arthur: Marie! How could you be so indecent?!

Arthur: What are you thinking, u-u-undressing a boy?!

Marie: Master Arthur, you have it wrong.

Marie: I merely informed him that he had stained his jacket.

Arthur: Oh, is that all?

Arthur: Your programming is always so considerate.

Noah: Mind if I join in on Marie's study sesh?

Arthur: Huh?

Noah: We're in the same class and learn the same material, so I bet I could help her.

Noah: I've heard the advanced class you're in has a much different curriculum.

Arthur: Yes, that's true.

Arthur: Do it for Marie!

Noah: Okay then, what are we waiting for?

Noah: Let's go, Marie!

Arthur: Now, you do this like so...

Marie: No way can I relax and study in this situation!

Noah: Here, Marie.

Noah: I'll show you the packet I put together on what the exam is going to cover.

Noah: I listed up all the key points.

Noah: Huh? This doesn't look right.

Noah: Sorry. I got mixed up.

Marie: You're dead—

Noah: Come on, I said I was sorry.

Marie: Oh, Master Arthur. Noah was goofing off, so I was scolding him.

Arthur: O-Of course.

Noah: Oh, my hand slipped!

Noah: Arthur, would you grab that for me?

TAKE NO CHANCES

BLANK

Narrator: Blank...

Arthur: Marie?

Noah: Wow, thanks, Marie.

Noah: All that to pick up a blank sheet of paper.

Marie: Damn it!

Noah: I found a book on art history that looks good.

Noah: Come check it out, Marie.

Marie: He has good grades.

Marie: Getting expelled would suck.

Marie: I hate doing what he says,but I guess I'd better.

Marie: Okay, I'll be right over.

Kabedon!The quiet versionfor library use

Marie: Master Arthur, are you not feeling well?

Arthur: No, I'm fine. It's nothing.

Marie: I'll return the books we used.

Arthur: Noah, let me express my gratitude as well.

Arthur: Thank you for helping Marie study.

Noah: Oh, it was no big deal.

Noah: There's stuff only someone in her class would get.

Noah: And honestly,

Noah: I know her better than you do, anyway.

Arthur: I'm with her twenty-four hours a day.

Noah: There's a thing or two she can't tell anyone,even if you're always together.

Noah: Want me to share Marie's secrets with you?

Marie: Master Arthur, I'm sorry I took so—

Marie: How did things get so tense?

Marie: I'd better do something.

Marie: Um, perhaps we should hurry home to the—

Noah: Whoa there.

Arthur: Are you hurt, Marie?

Marie : I will harden my heart for you, Marie.

Roy: If you get expelled, it's back to the factory with you.

The day after the next...

Homeroom Teacher: Good. It was a close call, but you pass.

Homeroom Teacher: You can do it when you put in the effort. Now make a habit of it.

Marie: Thank you very much.

Marie: Thank goodness! Now I won't be expelled!

Marie: I get to stay at school with Master Arthur and—

Arthur: Marie!

Marie: Master Arthur.

Arthur: I couldn't help worrying about your exams.

Marie: Did he run all this way for me?

Marie: I passed them, sir.

Arthur: Thank goodness. I'm so glad.

Arthur: I am glad, but...

Arthur: If I'm being honest, I wanted to be the one to help you study.

Arthur: I wanted to be the only one you needed.

Marie: Master Arthur... have you been feeling jealous all this time?

Arthur: Marie.

Marie: Yes?

Arthur: With your makeup exams behind usand summer break starting next week,

Arthur: we're going on a tropical island getaway!

Marie: W-We are?!


Mechanical Marie



Charlotte: We're lucky to have such a nice nephew. I can't believe he invited us on this trip.

Carl: Yeah, you said it.

Marie: You really are generous, Master Arthur.

Arthur: No, I didn't invite anyone.

Noah: You should've known you couldn't run off alone with my Marie, Arthur.

Noah: Oh, that reminds me. I sent out more invites to keep things lively.

Bridget: To think he would place us in such a masochistic situation!

Fan Club: We love it!

Roy: Young Master, you're in the most danger when you feel most free.

Free(dom)

Roy: Marie , protect your master.

Marie : Looking up "free."

Free (of charge)

Marie : "Costing nothing. Also, not in use or occupied."

Carl: Hmm? Where's Isabel?

Carl: Charlotte, have you seen her?

Charlotte: Oh, that girl. She's run off to bother Arthur again.

Marie: Master Arthur, who is that?

Isabel: Arthur!

Marie: Oh, she must be one of the Rustys.

Carl: Come back with us, Isabel.

Isabel: No, I don't want to!

Isabel: I'm Arthur's—

Maynard: Arthur, this place will be your grave.

Maynard: Perish on this pristine beach! I'll bear witness to your final moments.

Maynard: Prototype No. , activate!

Maynard: This thing is on another level from your robot maid.

Maynard: Go!

Prototype: Make way for me!

Carl: Whoa.

Charlotte: My.

Isabel: Wow.

Roy: Oh! That's Prototype No. . We built it while developing Marie .

Noah: I see the resemblance.

Noah: But isn't it a little big to be a prototype for Marie ?

Roy: Still, what is it doing here?

Marie : Master Maynard located at o'clock, ahead and to the left.

Maynard: Surprised?! I'm part of the Zetes Corporation too!

Roy: Hmm... It appears our security is too lax.

Prototype: It's me. Me. Me.

Fan Club: What's that?!

Roy: Go, Marie ! Keep Master Arthur safe!

Marie : Roger.

Marie : Marie , aerial form, taking off.

Marie : Combat mode engaged.

Marie : Now airborne. Now airborne.

Marie : Now reducing to scrap.

Marie : Now rotating.

Marie : Now spinning more than usual.

Roy: Marie! Take Master Arthur to safety while you can!

Prototype: Make way for me.

Roy: We designed Prototype No. as a meathead specializing in physical performance.

Roy: I guess stopping it won't be so easy...

Marie : Oh?

Marie : Huh?

Roy: No! Marie 's rocket propulsion system!

Marie : Oh my stars.

Marie: Master Arthur, we can reach the other side through there.

Marie: It looks like our way back to that beach is blocked.

Arthur: It certainly does.

Marie: This means... I'll be alone with Master Arthur here for a while.

Marie: And we're in our swimsuits!

Marie: I'm getting kind of hungry.

Arthur: I'm famished.

Arthur: Are you hungry as well, Marie?

Arthur: Wait, do robot stomachs growl too?

Marie: Crap. That has to have given me away.

Arthur: I see now.

Arthur: Honestly, making a robot signal low energy by imitating a grumbling stomach?

Arthur: I have to question Roy's taste.

Marie: Thank goodness he's his usual, gullible self.

Marie: I'm told that I was designed to resemble humans as closely as possible.

Arthur: Really?

Marie: Master Arthur, we should search for food.

Arthur: Marie.

Marie: Yes, sir?

Arthur: I always carry these around with me.

Arthur: And as long as I do, you have nothing to worry about.

Marie: I should've known.

Marie: But those aren't what I need. They won't help us at all.

Arthur: Marie.

Marie: Yes, sir?

Arthur: I promise we'll get out of here together.

Arthur: Help will come soon.

Marie: Yes, sir.

Arthur: But until then, we're on our own.

Marie: Yes, sir.

This is a special Zetes dry cell battery. Do not try this with ordinary batteries at home.

Marie: Leave this to me.

Marie: Is something the matter?

Arthur: Thank you for getting this, but the shell is too hard for me.

Marie: Oh, is that all?

Arthur: Thanks, Marie.

Marie: I'll drink some later.

Arthur: We might find more edible plants and fruits in the forest.

Marie: Master Arthur, you can eat that grass.

Arthur: Oh, really?

Marie: This sure takes me back. Way back to the old days.

Marie: When I lived with my mom and dad,

Marie: they let me keep up my training, so I was happy,

Marie: but after Dad died in that accident, Mom found a new guy in no time.

Marie: She was out more often than not afterward. I guess I was in her way.

This tastes gross

Marie: Once the neglect started,

Marie: I ate all kinds of stuff to survive until I was old enough to work.

Marie: I used to pick this grass all the time in the old days.

Arthur: What "old days"?

Marie: Oh no. I'm a robot built for Master Arthur. I shouldn't have a past.

Marie: I just let that slip out.

Marie: A long time ago...

Arthur: A long time ago what?

Marie: I was used as a lawn mower,

Marie: and I still have data from that time.

Arthur: Come to think of it, I don't know much about Marie, do I?

Marie: Please let that be the end of it.

Arthur: Did she come with an owner's manual?

Arthur: I'd better ask Roy.

Marie: That's right. If I want to stay with Master Arthur,

Marie: I'm going to have to keep lying to him all the time.

Arthur: What are you doing?!

Marie: After hydration, you need nourishment.

Arthur: Were you going to catch fish?

Arthur: But isn't water dangerous for you, Marie?

Marie: Yup. I sink like a rock.

Arthur: You don't need to take that risk for me.

Marie: I'll be fine as long as the vital components in my head stay dry.

Marie: Master Arthur, take shelter from the rain over there.

Arthur: You too, Marie! Before your head gets wet!

Marie: I... I can't believe we're squished together with no one else around.

Marie: Master Arthur's half-naked.

Marie: My heart can't take it!

Marie: Huh?

Marie: What?!

Arthur: I'm sorry. It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Arthur: I planned this trip so that you could add a fun vacation to your database,

Arthur: but just look what I've put you through!

Marie: It must have been bothering him.

Arthur: First weirdos tag along for no good reason,

Arthur: then Maynard's weird robot traps us here!

Arthur: Now if you rust in this rain...

Arthur: I didn't invite Uncle Carl or Aunt Charlotte

Arthur: or Roy or Marie or the fan club or Maynard or...

Marie: Master Arthur, please don't blame yourself.

Marie: I...

Marie: I'd be happy anywhere, as long as it's with you.

Arthur: Marie, I love you.

Marie: Master Arthur always tells me how he feels so openly.

Marie: And yet here I'm always...

Marie: Master Arthur, I am a machine, so I don't fully understand romantic love.

Marie: I'm terrified that Master Arthur might reject me.

Marie: But...

Marie: But I want to tell him at least a little of the truth.

Marie: If I were a human girl, I'm sure I would have fallen in love with you.

Arthur: What are you saying?

Marie: This is...

Arthur: What do you...?

Marie: ...the best answer I can come up with now.

Marie : The master and Marie located.

Marie : The master and Marie located.

Marie : Master Arthur, I have come to take you back.

Marie : My rockets malfunctioned during the recent battle,

Marie : so emergency repairs delayed my arrival.

Roy: Master Arthur!

Roy: Master Arthur, are you hurt?

Bridget: Arthur, darling, please be safe!

Isabel: Arthur!

Maynard: So he survived!

Maynard: I guess this thing really was just an oversized prototype.

Maynard: Useless hunk of junk!

Noah: Well, the robot was taking orders from a defective owner.

Marie : We will soon arrive at our destination.

Arthur: Isn't this great, Marie?

Arthur: We can go back to life as normal now.

Marie: I wish we could have stayed alone a little longer.

Marie : Thank you for flying with us.

Marie: If I were human...

Arthur: If you were human...

Narrator: And so their vacation passed,leaving them both stuck feeling, "Um..."
Next Time

Next Time

Charlotte: That day, if Marie hadn't left her window open,

Charlotte: if Arthur hadn't gone for a walk at night,

Charlotte: they never would have...
