I'll make you proud.

I know you will.

Excuse me, I wonder if...

- Gave at the office.

- I wonder if you...

Could you direct me

to Bigweld Indust...?

- What?

- Perfect. That will be 50 bucks.

Fifty bucks? For what?

A beautiful picture

of your first moment in Robot City.

There. Your second moment.

That's another $50.

Are you keeping track?

Come on, work with me, work with me.

More pout, less pose.

Great. Inside of you is a fashion model

waiting to throw up.

Give me those eyes. Big eyes, big eyes.

Give me big anime eyes.

- Yeah! Loving it, loving it, loving it!

- I don't want any pictures.

- You don't?

- No.

That's all right. There's no film.

Would you like a map to the stars' homes?

Where did he go?

- Buddy, wanna buy a watch?

- Don't buy us, we're fakes.

Next.

Excuse me, how do I get

to Bigweld Industries?

Oh, great...

Never mind.

Hi, excuse me.

How do I get to Bigweld Industries?

What?

Yeah, thanks.

Cross-town express

to Foundry District...

...with stops at Bigweld Industries

and Battery Park only.

Please tighten all spools, nuts, bolts

and detachable appendages.

Riders with high oil pressure

are advised to take the local.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

No, no.

- Say, are you following me?

- No.

- First time on the cross-town express?

- Well, actually, I...

Oh, boy.

Good luck in the big city. If you can

make it here, you can make it anywhere.

And if you can't make it here,

welcome to the club.

- Oh, no.

- What? What is it?

We're going off the track.

We're gonna crash!

- What?

- I don't wanna die.

I was just kidding.

Just put your head between your legs.

Yeah!

There goes my stop.

I tell you, the things that fall off me...

It's embarrassing.

Sorry.

You know, it used to be a lot worse.

They had this giant hammer...

Oh, they brought it back.

Stick with me. I know this town

like the back of my hand.

Hey, that's new.

Excuse me. Can I help you?

Sorry, I...

- Hey, you're Tim from the TV show.

- That's me.

Well, hey, Tim.

Who closed the gate?

It's never supposed to be...

Yeah, okay, what do you want?

I'd like to see Mr. Bigweld.

I'm an inventor.

Oh, why didn't you say so?

Stand back.

Thanks.

What?

I got you. You see, because you were

all excited and then, boom!

All right, I had my laugh. Go on in.

Now, that's funny.

The second time.

You really think I'm gonna let you in.

But I'm not.

Sorry, kid, nobody gets in.

Company rules.

Company ru...? Well, then

how do they hire new inventors?

They don't. Those days are over.

My advice:
Come back two years ago.

Then the job is yours.

So remember, whether a bot is made

of new parts, old parts or spare parts...

...you can shine
