[whirring]

Yarbe waved hi to you, Wanda.

Yarbe? That's what I named him.

You know where that name came from?

An underdeveloped brain?

Ha ha.

See? Yarbe liked it.

I pressed the wrong button.

You suck. There we go.

Aw, cool. Robot. Jealous me.

You become more like a -year-old girl every day.

I get like that around robots. I always wanted a robot.

I love robots.

Robots are the best. Robot.

You know, I briefly studied animatronic engineering

in a technical institute.

Yeah, yeah. We're talkin' robots here, okay?

Where'd ya get him?

Bought him on eBay.

Hi. I'm Sergeant Quinton, Senior Police Officer.

Your fly is down.

What?

Got you.

[chuckling]

Isn't technology awesome?

Yeah. And your fly really is down.

[buzzing throughout]

Get back! Bees! Bees!

Thieves?

Bees!

Peas?

Bees!

Cheese?

Bees!

I know. I'm just messin' with ya.

Don't worry, we'll get rid of these fleas.

Bees!

What's up? Wanda finally snap and k*ll Hank?

We all saw this comin'.

There's a hive of-- oh, whatever,

it's stingy bugs, right up there.

Heh, probably bees.

Well, no need to panic. I know how to get rid of them.

Hey, Wanda, I just saw a couple of bees outside,

so you have to be careful. Do you have your EpiPen?

I'm not allergic to bees.

Then have I got a job for you.

Okay, what can I get ya?

Ladies first.

Since when-- Blew your chance, gotta be ready.

I'll have a chili cheese dog.

Oh, big surprise.

Shouldn't be. I have one every day.

I was being sarcastic.

You were?

Why don't you try somethin' different for once?

Are you still being sarcastic?

You know, I've got a big, full menu.

He really only likes my cooking, Lacey.

I'm not fussy, or buckety.

When you were a baby, you wouldn't eat your Pablum

unless I put gravy on it.

But I didn't care kinda gravy.

Try the Chicken Kiev.

He doesn't like that fancy foreign food

with all the spices and kievs on it.

He's delicate.

I am not delicate.

In fact, I will have a bowl of this Chicken Kiev

you're always goin' on about.

This is first time I've mentioned it, and it doesn't come in a bowl.

Doesn't the gravy drip off the plate? There is no gravy.

Chicken without gravy?

This keeps gettin' weirder.

Get rid of those bees.

Yeah, I know. I'm reading this book on how to do it.

Step one, phone an exterminator.

Step two, explain to Oscar how a cordless phone works.

Do it yourself and pocket the money.

All you need is a broom and a car.

That's how I did it.

[laughs]

[buzzing]

Oh! Oh! Aaa-aah!

Just remember to roll up the window.

Hm. It's, uh...

No.

Delicious? No.

Repulsive? It's interesting.

What does that mean?

It means it's of interest. I mean there's chicken.

I like the fried element to it, a big fan of fried.

But then some kinda goop oozed out of it.

Not a big fan of goop.

That goop is butter.

Ooo, big fan of butter.

Chicken stuffed with butter, that's just gross,

and unhealthy.

Ooo, big fan of unhealthy.

The verdict's in. I likes it.

Ah-ha.

What does he likes, I mean like?

My Chicken Kiev. He's a big fan.

He's just a fan of fried goop. Get over yourself.

Brent had something other than a chili cheese dog? Wow.

Okay, hook me up with this Chicken Diaz.

You gotta have it.

It's like an angel crapped on your plate.

[whirring and squeaking]

I hate to brag, but I just bought the robot

to end all robots on eBay.

I'll give ya a hint. R...

Uh-huh?

Uh-huh?

R-D.

Cool. You got an R-D?

Not an R-D, the R-D,

from a little movie called The Star Wars .

It's just Star Wars .

Yeah. But originally it was called--

I don't wanna get into this again.

The point is, this is gonna be all mine.

Wow.

Only paid $. They wanted .

I was the only bidder, but I didn't wanna take any chances.

This is so awesome.

When R gets here, you, me, R, and Yarbe can hang out.

Movies, dinners.

Plus these little robots are chick magnets.

They're gonna be all over us.

Yeah, and the robots.

Trying the Chicken Kiev, I see?

You gotta admit, it's pretty good.

That's what I've heard.

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my arteries clogging.

Oh, come on, Emma, you should be happy for Brent.

He's exploring a whole new world of cuisine,

you know, besides meatloaf or macaroni and cheese

or tuna casserole or tuna loaf with cheese

and meat casserole.

You're playing fast and loose with Brent's taste buds.

This is a dangerous game, Lacey, a dangerous game.

Have you been drinking?

Mm, a little cough syrup this morning.

I'm-I'm fighting a cold. Knock out the cobwebs.

Mm, let's see, what should I try today?

I can order anything off this menu.

I think I will try the penne with vegetables

in a white wine cream sauce.

And for dessert, oh what the hell, I'll try the fish cakes.

That's more of an appetizer thing.

Hm. Maybe I'll start with them, then.

Wine sauce and fish cakes. It's a brave new world.

[whirring and squeaking]

Hey, Karen, look what I bought on eBay?

A picture of R-D?

No. The actual R-D from the movie Star Wars . See?

For how much?

Only $,.

I thought you bought it for $?

Okay, $,, insurance included.

The actual R-D would cost like a kajillion dollars.

$,. And, uh, Karen, it says here,

"Authentic. Not a rip off."

Hank didn't get ripped off when he bought his robot on eBay.

It's true. Although the batteries were supposed to be included.

Make sure the batteries are included, Davis.

Yep, it says they are.

So you're good to go, then.

[buzzing throughout]

Come on, get stung already. Hit it with a pitchfork.

I gotta find out what kinda bees these are.

It's just a simple matter of cross-referencing

the structure of the thorax with the pattern on the abdomen.

If they'd stop squirmin' around for two seconds!

All right, I'm gonna get things started here.

Don't throw a rock.

I wanna save the hive and make some cash off the honey.

See, you look at the situation as a problem.

I look at the situation as an opportunity,

and that's where we're--oh!

Oh!

[screams]

Here we go.

This is what I paid to see. [Oscar laughs]

Whoa! No, no! C'mon!

Bees one,

Wanda zero.

[screams]

Are you cutting a hole in the trunk for R-D?

He can ride with us.

GPS, don't need it anymore. R-D.

Phones, don't need 'em. R-D.

We can send holographic messages to each other.

When would we ever need to do that?

Davis, you're my only hope. I need to borrow your stapler.

Davis, you're my only hope. I need to borrow your stapler.

Hypothetically speaking, if I wanted to transfer,

where are the forms?

What you lacked in presentation you made up for in taste.

So you liked it?

I liked the idea of it.

Don't get me wrong, I like sauce, but the pasta

I noticed that right away.

And the vegetables were like, "What are we doin' in here?

"Did somebody make a mistake and miss the garbage can

and toss us into this unfortunate excuse for a pasta dish instead?"

I'm saying the vegetables were a mistake.

I heard what the vegetables said,

I mean what you said they said.

So you wouldn't recommend the penne, Brent?

Not unless you wanna t*rture your taste buds

or play a cruel joke on your enemies.

Anyway, thanks for lunch. See ya later, Lacey.

I'm not gonna say I told you so.

Karen?

She told you so.

[chuckles] Goin' to a wedding?

For your information,

this is the proper way to get rid of a hive.

I plan to gently wrap a bag around it

and then transfer it to a box apiary hive,

and then transfer the honey into money.

Too complicated.

Oscar, don't!

I hit the hive, we run for the car,

motor's running, boom, we're outta here.

Just let me take care of it. Too late!

[screams]

Well, get rid of it!

[buzzing]

Whoa-oh-ho-ho.

[buzzing]

What'd you do that for?

I panicked.

But in hindsight, I'm happy with my decision.

It's here. It's here.

R-D's in that box.

Well, open it.

I can't. I'm too excited to open it.

Okay, I'll open it.

No, I'll open it.

No, you open it.

Davis, it's junk.

Of course it is.

I have to put R together.

See? Instructions.

They're written in pencil.

Look at this.

A letter of authenticity signed by Mr. George Lukas.

And it doesn't bother you that it's written

on the back of a pizza box?

And that Lukas is spelled with a K?

He was probably distracted by how good the pizza was.

Hey, Fitzy, haven't seen ya at The Ruby lately.

Yeah. I didn't see anything on Brent's list that really grabbed me.

What list?

What's with the board?

People are interested in my thoughts on food

and this just makes it easier.

Oh, I wish I'd seen that before I ate.

What are you talking about? You loved your fries.

I don't know. Did I, Brent?

A little soggy.

Brent!

Got rid of the bees.

Miss Beekeeper over here panicked and threw them in the car.

And it's still running.

This turned out much better than I could have hoped for.

I'm goin' in.

[buzzing]

Oh, aah, aah, aah!

Oh, oh, ow, ow, aah, aah, aah! Aaah!

[buzzing]

That's right, nowhere to hide!

[Wanda laughs]

Doesn't anyone in this town own a video camera?

Hey.

What do you want?

Can't a girl just say "Hey"?

I guess.

Okay, look, Brent has become the food critic from hell.

He is ruining my business.

Oh, so you need my he--

my hel--

Come on, Lacey, you can say it. My hellll-

I need your help. Okay? I need your help.

Because you were w-wr--

wrooo--

Wrong, I was wrong.

And a little m-mi-misssss-

Okay, I don't know what you're saying.

Misguided.

How was I supposed to guess that?

I need you to cook a meal Brent likes that

I can put on my menu so people will start eating here again.

Ah. Who woulda thought that my humble macaroni and cheese

would aa-aaha-haa-aah-

Okay, enough already.

No, I'm gonna sneeze.

Oh, it went away.

I hate it when that happens.

[slide whistle]

You're right, it does have a cute whistle.

[sighs]

I traded my ski boat for this? Unbelievable.

[whirring and squeaking]

Cool. That is so awesome.

Let's put it together.

It is together.

Oh.

Well, hm.

Here, this'll make ya feel better.

Loser.

Oh, sorry, wrong button.

You suck.

No, wait. Hold on.

You suck.

Well, if that's the way he feels.

DAVIS: This is so embarrassing.

People are going to look at me and say, "There's the cop

"that traded his ski boat for a garbage can, flashlight,

and slide whistle."

The good news is you got a garbage can you can use in the dark.

Oh, relax. There's only a few of us that know about this.

DAVIS: Come and meet R-D tomorrow.

Get an autograph from real-life movie star R-D.

Yep, there's a line-up outside.

Oh, great.

Maybe I can grow a beard and get a transfer to a different town.

Or maybe we can just haul it to the dump.

You can say they decided not to sell it to you and your ski boat sunk.

Yeah. Not bad, Rookie.

All right, let's go. Move fast.

Is that R-D?

Nope, nothing that exciting.

It's just a b*mb.

Can we see R-D later?

You bet.

Ow!

May the force be with you.

Hmm.

I'm in the mood for an amuse gueule. What do you recommend?

I recommend you stick to the English language.

Do you even know what that means?

I heard it on a cooking show, it sounded fancy, so could you bring me a couple?

I would, but we're all out. I do, however, recommend today's special.

It may amuse you.

Special, huh? What's so special about it?

What isn't special about it?

[mouths words]

It's got red rum on it.

[mouths words]

I mean bread crumbs. Sorry, more bread crumbs than red rum.

[mouths words]

Like mud on a brick.

What?

Like Mom used to make.

Just like Mom used to make, is what I said.

Well, we'll see about that.

I'm pumpin' as fast as I can.

OSCAR: Hey, Davis. How many b*ll*ts you got in your g*n?

Thirteen.

We'll need more.

They're not fish in a barrel.

I would love to see you blow holes in your car,

but I don't want ya blowin' any in the hive.

We need something to put it in.

There's nothin' in the back of the truck.

I didn't say there was.

What's under the blanket?

Just a b*mb.

It's not a b*mb, it's just some junk we're takin' to the dump.

Maybe we could use the b*mb to blow up the bees

and then I could finally turn off my car.

Always thinking.

Is that your R-D?

Boy, did they see you comin'.

What did they soak ya for?

Only $.

Hang on.

I have a plan.

Nice aroma, good heft.

We're off to a good start.

Just eat the damn thing.

The last thing you wanna do is rush a connoisseur.

Okay, where do I start?

Were the noodles boiled in toilet water?

What?

Uh, Brent--

Was the "mother" who prepared this doing

time in prison for murdering this dish?

Your mother made this.

That would have been useful information seconds ago.

Way to go, Lacey.

You turned my son against my cooking.

This is one of my favourite things.

I used to love this. What happened to me?

You're eating with your head. And not the mouth part of your head.

You never used to care whether your pasta was al dente or not.

You just pushed it into your face and you were happy.

I wanna be happy again.

I wanna eat with just the mouth part of my head.

I am sorry for tryin' to get you to try somethin' new.

Go back to suckin' down chili cheese dogs.

I don't know if I can.

Will I like them or will I be thinkin' about the chili-to-bun ratio,

which should never exceed to , because the texture--

Dammit! Brent!

You wanna see animatronic engineering?

Check this out.

[whirring]

That's it?

Aw, come on.

That woulda got me an A in Robotics ,

an A+ if I coulda got the slide whistle to work.

Are we gonna jerk around with your toys all day or come up with a plan?

Oh, there's a plan.

Okay, so does everybody know what they're doing?

Got it. Yep.

Yep.

Let's do this.

[whirring and squeaking]

It's in!

Hey, hey, we did it!

[cheering]

Way to go, Yarbe!

And R-D.

Now for the second part of my plan.

Can Yarbe push me to the pumps?

[bell dings]

[suspenseful music]



Do you like it?

Oh, baby, it's heaven in a tube.

Oh. He likes it.

Whoa, whoa. Where ya goin' with the macaroni?

That's dessert.

Good to have you back.

[dance music]



I bet Davis and his R-D don't have this much fun. Huh?

Good job, R.

[slide whistle]

That's not necessary.

I don't care.
