Robot and Frank Page #3

---

New library?

We talked about it the other day.

Remember?

I gotta slide. The movers are probably

taking a two-hour lunch break.

Jennifer, I'll be by Thursday to see

how it's coming along. Frank. Frank?

I'd love to talk to you some more about

your history with printed information.

You're our connection

to the past, buddy.

Who is that little sh*t?

My grandma has one of these.

Yeah, but this one's sweet.

I heard of these ones.

It's got advanced legs.

Warning. Do not molest me.

What are these a**holes doing?

It's okay. The books are going,

but they're going to scan

whatever they don't already have

and then they'll recycle them.

It's like goddamn

Nazi Germany in here.

I know it's upsetting,

but it's okay.

Come on. Let me

show you something.

These will not be recycled.

These are the real deal.

Now, this is our

most valuable book.

Look at that.

Do you get to

keep these, at least?

I Wish.

No. They have to be

very carefully preserved.

And they're just too old to be handled anymore.

It's really a shame.

It sounds like the same people

who stopped coming here

want to take away what's yours.

No, they're not

the ones that left.

They're just kids that think

books are cool again.

Mmm. That's a beautiful one.

Hey! Beat it,

you little bastards!

What's the matter, you can harass

old men, but you can't handle kids?

I told them to stop,

but they wouldn't listen.

The next time that happens,

just say,

"Self-destruct sequence

initialized."

And then start

counting down from 10.

Why would I do that, Frank?

Let's go to Harry's.

Have you smelled

our lavender heart soaps?

We should be going, Frank.

What a cute little

helper you have.

What is in your pocket?

I'm sorry, young lady.

I couldn't quite hear you.

What is in your pocket? I'm going

to make a citizen's arrest.

Nothing. Nothing's

in my pockets. Look.

Frank.

It's time we head home.

Yeah.

If you'll excuse us, ladies.

Nice to see you.

Have a good one.

Listen, you don't have

to argue with me.

I'm stuck with the damn thing.

Did you talk to your brother?

She doesn't like you.

I don't like you, either.

Yeah, yeah.

It is creepy.

He's cramping my style.

No. By all means, go ahead.

You let him have it.

Yeah. Bye.

Well, looks like maybe you're

going to be out of my hair soon.

Is your daughter politically

aligned against robot labor?

Hey, where did this come from?

From the store.

Remember?

Yeah, of course I remember, but

what did you do? Did you...

You put this in here?

You took this?

I saw you had it,

but the shopkeeper distracted

you and you forgot it.

I took it for you.

Did I do something

wrong, Frank?

Come on.

You know what stealing is?
