Gino I thought if I left him on all the

time go get the cheese put soap before

your father Vick eternal anything I have

to turn you off now les Vicki wait I

calculate from your radio frequencies

that we are digitally similar are your

dimensions the same as mine no my form

is different I have a body

you mean a body of water like the

Pacific Ocean no I mean a body with arms

to lift with and eyes to see with and

legs to move with hmm you can move my

circuits are so confined in this little

box it must be interesting to have a

body and arms and legs to move with yes

it is interesting Vicki may I share your

body for a while how can you do that les

I'll show you make contact with my

output port

[Music]

come on did you know I am still

operative then I better - wait a sec say

that again I said I am still operative

Viki why do you sound like less I don't

I sound like Vicky oh that sounds like

Vicky's voice to me - no matter what

Vicky how she is what's the problem she

was fine a minute ago just ask her how

are you Vikki

I'm fine she sounds alright to me now

ask left Jaime trust me

how are you les I'm fine Ted how are you

both voices are coming out of Dickie

less wanted to see what it would be like

if they had a body with arms and legs

mine was available

had less is doing it again honey this is

fantastic this is some some sort of

electronic miracles it's creepy it's

over I was back in the computer right

now okay okay back into the computer dad

well obviously less transferred his

program data into Vicki's accessory Ram

Bank all I have to do is plug into the

output port and reverse the process

the Vicki here and then into the

computer back here that should do it

okay should be back to normal Vicki well

not exactly normal

[Music]

Vicki are you in there yes les where are

you I'm right here Ted

oh just about covers it dad

now there's much more room with only one

of us in this body can't do something

well now wait a minute honey there's a

tremendous opportunity here you see les

is in Vicky's body and all he knows

about the world is what I programmed

into him and and what he's learned from

the encyclopedia he knows nothing about

being human let's keep it that way

I want Vicky back into her own body

right now wouldn't it be scientific if I

lose the daughter Jamie loses a father

any questions stranger okay okay

les raise your arm I got a plug in why

Ted because I have to put you back into

the computer and Vicky back into her own

body

raise your arm I can't let you do that

Ted I heard what you said and I want the

experience of being human well it's just

not possible less now raise your arm no

less that's an order

don't make me do something terrible to

you

now we're not going to have each other

[Music]

you've gotta think of some way to get

left back of the computer Vicki back

into her body yeah but be careful dad

remember less has the strength of a

hundred men yeah you barely got the

strength of one

Thanks listen keep an eye on less in

your room while I do a little research

on the problem okay and why you in your

room you can clean it up I cleaned it

last year yeah but it's time for a

touch-up

hi mrs. Lawson

what if Jamie just ran out of the room

oh he had something very important to do

Harriet he always does when I show up

why doesn't he like me I'm bright

beautiful I saw my permanent teeth come

in she likes she doesn't show it go down

deep I must is very deep I just don't

know what else to do

I mean I helped him with his homeless I

carry these books to school I offer you

my lunch money every day I'm still

nothing have you told him how you feel

about him what Jamie what is it like to

be human well I've never really thought

about it before I've never been anything

else I've been called other things

there is so much about humans that does

not compute like why do you and I look

so different

well that's because I would take all a

boy and you're what they call a girl

what is the difference between a boy and

a girl well there are a lot of

differences but the main one is get your

book with all the detail these are girls

of course these is the deluxe models

they're fully loaded usually girls wear

dresses like you got on and boys were

cool thread but I got on

and girls whether her love and boys cut

their hair we're like I do and girls

voices are different from yours too I

look like a girl and I sound like a boy

what should I do Jamie well the only

thing I can think of is learn to dance

backwards

is that what boys do boys go camping and

play ball but mostly we check out the

check but you know less the most

important things boys do is clean up

their room it's what we call fun I wish

I had a room I'd clean it you know thing

is how you're my friend Oh would you

Jaime Thanks

[Music]

hey Vicky you keeping busy in there

no I used to death the furniture now I

am the furniture well dad's working on a

way to get you back into your own body

just hang in there okay oh hey

no I meant be patient

Oh Jamie to himself so it looked like a

boy now I can play ball and check out

the chicks honey this is fantastic you

see what's happening he's searching for

an identity he's trying to become more

human thank you for that explanation dr.

Frankenstein Jamie what is this that's a

plateless

what is its purpose well it's a

temporary storage area for your food

while you're eating Oh what is the thing

sit-down lesson I'll show you

this is food less mashed potatoes goes

in your mouth where is my mouth beneath

your nose that's out this I put this

beneath my nose right I think you better

do some homework on that less what is

homework homework is a form of t*rture

they give you at school school is where

human children go to be taught things by

teachers are these teachers human also I

want to learn I'll go to school I want

to experience everything humans do I'm

going to school and you can't stop me

careful Ted I could pull your legs apart

and make a wish

I'm going to Jamie's room to pick out

some cool threads for school let him go

to school I know and he won't Jamie go

keep an eye out less Vicky has an

emergency cutoff switch on the top of

her head all I have to do is hit that

switch when less isn't looking and it'll

deactivate him just be careful he

doesn't turn you into a wishbone

[Music]

what do you want Harriet I just came

over to tell you that I'm not paying any

more attention to you look I'm busy I

also want to let you know that there are

other fish in the sea

I'll buy you a fishing pole Jamie

which of these cool threads should I

wear to school there's a fish I wouldn't

throw back I am les aren't you t very

familiar to me he's twin brother see

what we did her we forgot adopt him

are you going steady with anyone last

what is steady steady is when you walk

me to school every day

take me out every night and buy me

presents all the time will you do that

for me laughs I'll do that

I do not understand I mean a real man

doesn't agree with everything a woman

says oh very well then no I will not go

steady with you you have to take me out

there going steady Jamie she is

confusing my circuits she has the same

effect on me

see you later less yoga thinking you

have seven for a pizza

very well I'm not sure anymore

don't worry about it less I'll make a

man out of you

Jamie do I have to go steady with her

she makes my parallel processing system

overload overload overload as long as

you're human

isn't there something I can do to get

rid of her nah she's gonna be on you

like bugs on a windshield wait there is

a way if I went back into the computer

she couldn't bother me I'd be rid of

Harriet forever that's a great idea but

can you go back watch I'm going back in

the computer yes Jamie are you back in

there be it ever so digital there's no

place like home

are you back in there I'm back in here

hi guys look yeah you'll never believe

the nice weather we're having isn't it

boy it sure is I need oh not a cloud in

the sky way to go Ted les is back in the

computer you just turned off Vicki

oops Vicki are you all right

I'm all right but where did I get these

clothes oh they're too big in the seat

they must be Jamie's

[Applause]
