or we can kiss those diamonds good-bye.

Benny, where did you get the idea for this?

No.

Split conductor cable, remember?

Before I arrived in this city,

I was working in Oregon...

...for Nova Robotics.

My friend Newton Crosby and I

designed and built...

...the real Number Five robot.

Unfortunately, the military got hold of him

and decided to use him...

...as a weapon of death and destruction.

You were making these things for real?

And now you're making toys for a living?

Well, the real Number Five,

he malfunctioned and....

Well, let us just say

that we were separated from our jobs.

When you complete this robot,

we will have 25.

Voila, my man.

Number 25.

Excuse me, sir, but we are not open

to the public. Hello. Can l--

Hey, come on now, guys!

You're jumping the gun here.

Arnold said I got 29 more days.

Hey, watch the silk!

Come on, let's do it!

No, sir, please don't touch that!

No, please don't leave!

Don't forget the circuit tester.

Not the circuit tester!

Oh, now, Fred, get up! You're chicken?

You must learn to defend yourself.

But who would do this

to struggling business persons...

...like us?

-I thought it was somebody I knew.

-No, wait, sir!

Now we are un-employers.

We still have the robot parts and the van.

I'll get a new staff together.

But we have no more money.

And now we're having no equipment.

To assemble robots with our naked hands

would be slower than...

...than moles' asses in January.

Benny? You're leaving me with my back

to the wall here.

We gotta come up with something!

Not possible. We're the type of people...

...who have everything going against us.

Look. How about this? How about we...

...go to the lady at Simpson's

and we beg for an advance?

I mean, we go in there and we grovel.

We look really pathetic.

Mountain Lion Air Freight.

We got a delivery for you.

Oh, yeah?

We've had enough deliveries

for one day, pal.

Mr. Benjamin Jarvee, right?

Jahrvi.

We should leave it out here or what?

Leave it out there.

It's for you. Who even knows you're here?

I have only told my friends in Montana.

I've never seen that happen before.

What the hell is this crap?

Who is caring? This crap is moving!

Hello, bozos!

Benjamin! Come here. Give me a hug.

It's so good to see you!

Number Five!

For you, from Stephanie.

All-natural granola brownies.

No preservatives or additives.

That's the real one! The real Number Two!

Number Five!

Please, call me Johnny Five.

Johnny? You have taken name

for yourself?

I choose many things for myself,

but did not choose travelling in a box.

I choose to fly tourist class,

but they say I'm cargo.

No movie, no magazine, no bag of peanuts.
