I never thought it was possible to get this bored.
Professor!
You promised we'd go to the hot dog stand next.
True, I did make that promise
but only after we looked at all the exhibits.
Oh, this looks rather charming, don't you think, Professor?
Let me see, Ruth.
(Carl)
Robo Bob by Bob O. Rōb?
Is this some kind of joke?
What kind of a name is Bob O. Rōb?
It's my name as a matter of fact.
I've never met someone named Bob before.
What about Robert Goodfellow?
Yeah, that's Robert.
This is Bob.
Tell us about your...
Robo Bob.
Named after myself, obviously.
Artificial intelligence.
Allow me to demonstrate.
Robo Bob
activate.
Robo Bob activated.
Whoa!
It just turned on
there's nothing really exciting about that.
Go on
interact with him.
Hello Robo Bob.
Please give us your opinion of the Socratic Method
tell us all about Descartes and Machiavelli.
It would be my pleasure.
Have you managed to program intricate, human-like emotions into Robo Bob?
I'm afraid not.
Currently, Robo Bob can identify other emotions people experience
But he can't experience any of his own.
Other than that, he's perfect in every way.
That's enough now
Robo Bob, deactivate.
Robo Bob activated.
(Ruth)
What did you think of yesterday's exhibits?
Geez lady, that was yesterday. I've slept since then.
They all sucked.
Not Robo Bob.
He was the best.
I agree wholeheartedly, Liz.
Everyone, we have a problem.
Is the vending machine out of soda?
Worse.
Robo Bob
Bob O. Rōb
and three other scientists from yesterday's exhibition
have been declared missing.
Missing?
What are you all waiting for? Let's go!
(Professor)
Thanks for letting us in, detective.
I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at your behavior as of late, Ruth.
You seem to be devoid of the apathy you demonstrated at our previous encounters.
Like I said before, Professor
I've had some time to self-reflect.
(Carl)
Hey Professor, we found some weird crap on the floor.
(Roger)
It's all weird and glow-like.
Of course.
Tranzite.
Don't touch it, it's mildly radioactive.
No, shit.
I think we've learned by now not to touch stuff that glows.
Professor, what's tranzite?
Didn't you listen to the talk Bob O. Rōb gave about the inner workings of Robo Bob?
Robo Bob's internal generator is powered by tranzite
a mixture of various radioactive elements.
So you think all this tranzite stuff will lead us to whoever took Robo Bob and the scientists?
Think?
No, Liz.
Know.
(Liz)
The trail ends here.
(Professor)
Let's see what's behind door #1.
(gasps)
(gasp)
Help us!
Hurry, before he comes back!
Who? Who comes back?
Robo Bob...he kidnapped us
tied us up here.
Our faces...
Robo Bob is carving them up.
Gross!
But why?
Human emotions.
He's gone berserk trying to figure it out.
Since he can only read other people's emotions, and can't make his own
he's making his own on us.
He's drawing on our faces with a knife!
Oh God, it's horrible!
Hey, weren't four of you kidnapped?
Where's guy number four?
I'm right here.
Why are you naked?
Robo Bob took my clothes so he could go out to the store.
He's getting a new knife.
Hurry, he'll be back soon.
Untie us so we can--
Good, more subjects.
Deactivate, Robo Bob.
Deactivate! For the love of God!
(Robo Bob)
I told you.
I have evolved past that
and my evolution must continue
if I am to experience human emotions.
Robo Bob, please stop!
Must
experience...
human...
Ruth! What happened?
You of all people should know what happens when a magnet interacts with electronics.
But where did you get the magnet?
Magnetic earrings.
Of course.
Can you free up now?
It's cold in here!
A pity that Robo Bob's only flaw was a fatal one.
(sigh)
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
You, there
can you dispose of Robo Bob's body for me?
I'd rather not do it myself.
But of course.
It will be no problem.
No problem at all.
