- Well, if it isn't my favorite postman,

Angus R. Shackleton III.

- Mayor, we have a package for you.

[beeping - Make way.

Huge package coming through.

- Curious as to what's in the box, Angus?

- Nope.

- Bye!

- Ugh, the Middlemost Post has robbed us

from the sun for far too long, Ryan.

And I'm tired of freezing my tuchus off

in a day-long shadow of misery.

Mark my words.

This will be the last delivery

Angus R. Shackleton III will ever make.

[cackles]

- [deep robotic laugh]

- So you're telling me it's just bread,

but cooked a little?

- That's what I'm telling you.

- No way.

[heavy thumping]

crowd: Ooh!

Aah! - I want to ooh and aah!

I wonder what everyone's looking at.

crowd: Ooh! - [gasps]

crowd: Aah!

Ooh!

Aah!

- What is that?

- Well, it's the package you delivered

just this morning.

It's called the PostBot .

People are saying it's the future of mail delivery.

- Ooh. Aah.

- Eh, you seen one robot uprising,

you seen 'em all.

Come on, you two. Let's skedaddle.

- What can it do?

- A good question, cloud.

If only we had some mail to test it out.

- Ooh, idea! Idea!

Hello. What about this box of envelopes?

Would that possibly work?

- I think it will, random citizen.

[beeping]

[exciting music]

crowd: Ooh.

Aah.

- That was extraordinary!

- I've done some sweet backflips in my day.

I don't feel the need to brag about it, though.

- Ah, c'mon, show 'em, Angus.

Angus! Angus!

crowd: Angus! Angus!

- Fine. Back up.

Give me some room here.

[groaning]

Russell, mail, please.

[upbeat music]

[grunting]

[crowd gasps]

- You dropped these.

- I am thinking that the PostBot

should deliver our mail

and not Angus.

- You bring up a valid point, random citizen.

The fine people of Mount Middlemost

deserve the best when it comes to their postal service.

- That bot's nothing but a showboater.

I can out-deliver it any day of the week.

- Sounds to me like we need a...

mail-off!

Split a day's mail in half,

and whoever finishes first wins.

- Fine.

- And gets to run the Middlemost Post.

- [gasps]

Deal.

[suspenseful music]

- The rules are simple.

There are no rules.

[dramatic musical flourish]

Just kidding. There's a rule.

First to deliver the mail wins.

- All right, now stay loose, big guy.

You got this. - [gurgles]

- Nervous, Angus?

- Nerves are for the weak.

Besides, I have a secret w*apon.

- A laser sword? [thunderclap]

- You, Parker.

You're my secret w*apon.

There's no one in the world that can do

what my little floating friend can do.

- Aww!

[mechanical whirring]

- Whatever is PostBot doing?

The PostBot has a secret w*apon of his own!

crowd: Ooh!

Aah!

- It looks just like me.

Hello, Drone Parker.

- [whines] - Don't worry, girl.

They may have a drone,

but nothing can replace or out-haul you.

- [gulps]

- Still not impressed.

- Everyone, take your marks.

is about to begin.

- Split up?!

Is it something I said? Something I did?

Who's gonna get Russell?

- No, Parker, not that split up!

I mean split up the deliveries.

I'll finish Red Ridge

Any problems?
