Robot and Frank Page #2

---

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

How are you doing?

I'm fine, Frank.

Wake up.

Just bring me some cereal.

That cereal is full of

unhealthy ingredients.

I threw it away.

Don't throw away my stuff.

Frank, that cereal is for children.

Enjoy this grapefruit.

You're for children, stupid.

Today, we're going

to start a garden.

Oh, f*** this sh*t.

Frank, you need a project.

Mental stimulation

plus a regimented schedule

will vastly improve your cognitive functioning.

Besides, it's good exercise.

Frank, we're going to

have to work together.

You are a robot butler.

I'm not a butler, Frank.

I'm a health care aide

programmed to monitor and improve

your physical and mental health.

Yeah? Get out of my house.

If you're not going to cooperate with

me, I might as well not be here.

Fine with me.

If that's the way you feel,

I'll contact Hunter.

Good.

What are you doing?

Do you have a phone up there in that brain?

You calling him?

Look, you heard what he said.

He was trying to put

me into a nuthouse.

I don't recall

Hunter saying that.

There's nothing

wrong with my memory.

I'm fine, I'm telling you.

I'm fine.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

My memory is fi...

What am I doing?

I'm talking to an appliance.

I suggest you work with me.

I'm not gardening.

Can't you do that super fast?

Some things take time, Frank.

Sh*t, I hate hikes.

Goddamn bugs.

You see one tree,

you seen them all.

I just hate hikes.

While my program's goal is to improve your

health, I'm able to adapt my methods.

Would you prefer another

form of moderate exercise?

I would rather die eating cheeseburgers

than live off of steamed cauliflower.

What about me, Frank?

What do you mean,

what about you?

If you die

eating cheeseburgers,

what do you think

happens to me?

I'll have failed.

They'll send me back to the

warehouse and wipe my memory.

If we're going to walk, we might

as well make it worthwhile.

Come on, keep up.

Stop.

If you come in there with me, I'm

going to have a heart attack and die.

But, Frank...

Just stay.

Can I help you

find anything, sir?

Where is the librarian?

I'm not familiar

with that title.

You're worse

than the other one. No.

Where is the librarian?

Jennifer.

She's in her office.

Sir, you are not permitted

in the offices.

Maybe we could create a little something

in honor of Dewey Decimal System.

Frank, you're not

allowed back here.

Hey, there, old-timer.

How are you doing?

How am I doing? I'm Frank.

This is Jake Finn.

He's been filling me in on the plans

for the new library. It's his project.

You must remember the days

when this library

was the only way

to learn about the world.
