Call from Madison Weld.
Call from Madison Weld.
Hello.
Hey, Dad.
What? Huh?
Daddy, it's me, Madison. Hi!
Oh, yeah. Hey.
How are you doing?
I'm doing wonderful.
Turkmenistan is so beautiful.
I'm sorry I haven't called.
How are you?
Oh, I'm, you know, fine.
I'm okay.
Has Hunter been coming around?
Hunter?
Dad?
Connection lost.
Madison.
Hmm.
Hey, Frank.
Hey, there.
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
Just killing time, waiting
for my one and only patron.
Mr. Darcy does
all the real work, anyway.
So, what'll it be, the usual?
Well, I came for the books,
but I'd be more interested
All right, let's see
if we can't find something
that you haven't read
three times already.
Good afternoon, Jennifer.
Might I help you
with something?
No, thank you, Mr. Darcy.
Very well.
I will resume book relocation.
Damn. I'm not going to be duct
taping books much longer.
Why?
Um... A new non-profit
is taking over the library
and they want to reimagine
the modern library experience.
So we're going to be retro-cool.
Call from Hunter Weld.
Is that your son, Hunter?
What?
Your son, Hunter.
Yes, that's my son.
HUNTER; Dad.
Dad.
Hello.
No.
No. I'm going
to eat at Harry's.
Dad, Harry's closed.
What are you talking about?
I ate here last week...
Dad?
Dad.
Hey. I told you to stop coming in here.
What did you take?
I was just looking
for some candles.
If I see you shoplifting
again, I am calling the cops.
Who is responsible for you?
Did you take a fizzy bath
bomb, you son of a b*tch?
Pass me. Pass me.
Dad.
You're right
in the middle of the road.
wait for me to drive you.
Hunter.
You're going to get clipped
What cars? We're in the
middle of the woods out here.
You know, I saw a
bobcat the other day.
Okay, would you
just get in, please?
Oh, what the hell is this?
It's one of Isaac's toys.
Just get in.
If you keep buying your kids
crap like this,
you're going to
spoil them rotten.
You in?
Yeah.
- Why?
- 'Cause then they can spend
their allowance
on whatever they want.
It teaches them
fiscal responsibility.
It teaches them
to be spoiled brats.
They get a choice.
They can save their money
or they can not save their money.
It's up to them.
But only if they get four gold
stars and no frowny faces.
I didn't buy you useless crap.
You turned out okay.
How's Princeton,
Mr. Big Shot?
Princeton? Dad, that
was 15 years ago.
Jesus Christ.
Look at this place.
How do you do this in a week?
Sometimes it's better
a little dusty.
Dusty would be an improvement.
This is gross.
This is just gross.
It's better than prison.
Cute. That, you remember.
There's nothing wrong
with my memory.
To be continued.
Excuse me.
Yep. I'm here.
I know. I just got to do this delicately.
He's in a mood.
I'm just... I'm trying to do the right thing.
Maybe he'll like it.
Love you.
Dad.
We gotta talk.
You want money?
What?
Money.
No, no. I don't...
No, no, I...
You have a problem.
You're worse
every time I come up here.
Princeton, Dad? And you thought
Harry's was still open.
I was joking. You're not sending
me to that brain center.
It's not a brain center, Dad. It's
a place where they can help you.
But no, that's not it.
I'm fine. I don't need your help.
I'm fine.
Would you listen?
I brought you something.
You have got to be kidding me.
I'm not this pathetic.
I don't need to be spoon-fed
by some goddamn robot.
Dad, it's not like that.
It's new.
It's more like a butler.
with this death machine?
What's the problem?
It's a robot.
Hi, Frank. It's a
pleasure to meet you.
How do you know?
All right.
Why don't you go on inside, tidy up, and
cook us whatever food you can find?
Okay, Hunter.
Good to meet you, Frank.
I like your house.
murder me in my sleep.
Somebody's going to
murder you in your sleep.
What about your mother?
She's not going to want a
robot getting in her way.
Mom's got her own robot.
You know Mom doesn't live
here anymore, right?
You've been divorced
for 30 years.
Yeah, I know that.
That's not what I meant.
How can you not
be excited by this?
Where the hell did it get that?
I found a box of cake mix
in the cupboard, Frank.
If you don't mind me saying so,
a big help to you.
What do you say?
Get this hunk of crap
out of my house.
I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, Dad.
I don't see my kids.
Forget it. But the robot's
staying because it's expensive,
and you're going
to do what it says
or you are going to end up
in the memory center.
Because the last thing I need is you dying
all alone up here to be my fault, too.
I'm not asking you
to do anything.
No, of course not.
How the hell do I turn you off?
I'm sorry, Frank, but Hunter has
chosen for me to remain on.
I don't have
an off switch, Frank.
If you let go of me,
I'll do the dishes.
Go ahead.
Wake up, Frank.
It's 7:
00, Frank.Wake up.
Frank, it's crucial that we establish
a set schedule for your day
to help keep you oriented.
Frank, I've reviewed
your medical records.
Are you finding your episodes of
disorientation increasing in frequency?
What the hell are you?
I'm a robot, Frank.
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?
