light book you wanted from the supply
closet

it's good we have a better way test the
light bulb Vicki it's a three-way bulb

Ricky put that bulb in the living room
lamp grandpa a girl home and since you
last saw me no I mean taller not whiter
no I don't really have a girlfriend yet

okay
Oh will will you be here Oh wonderful
yeah we'll pick up an airport okay won't
we'll see you saturday then love to mom
okay bye bye they're coming to visit us
Jamie great that was a short day at the
office the one day I've got an important
meeting my car battery is dead dad
grandpa just called they're coming to
visit us Saturday they are that's great
except for one thing
how are we gonna tell my dad about Vicki
hmm how are we gonna tell him that we
have a beautiful little robot
wani figured out for himself when she
says hello and carries him to his room
Jamie the point is is that your
grandfather may not be too thrilled
about having a robot in the family after
working for the same company for 40
years he was fired and replaced by a
robot oh and he's still bitter about it
he doesn't even like the fact that I
work for a robotics company the fact is
he really hates robots nothing gets past
those pink little micro sensor ears of
hers listen why are we worrying huh I
mean once he meets Vickie he'll he'll
love her like we do and then we'll tell
him the truth
all right anyway I gotta get to work
come on Vickie help me get my car
started oh no honey I'm gonna
have her carry a piggyback that's a joke
come on Vickie what are you gonna do Ted
well these are attached to my car
battery now Vicki hold these when I give
you the word you give it your full power
okay he's gonna jumpstart dad's car my
full power

robot that I invented a robot yeah here

proud of Ted he's made a major
scientific breakthrough do you mean that
that she is really a robot well we don't
think of her as a machine she's become a
member of the family

bathroom so uh what do you think dad I
think you did a great job you do a
playing me for a sucker
