Bad robot!

Look, you can't go stomping around

and you can't come with me.

My mom will wig out.

That's right.

So you have got to stay in the forest,

and I'll bring you some food tomorrow.

But I gotta go home now.

So goodbye.

Hey, wait a minute!

What do you think you're doing?

Look at this mess!

Put it back!

Put it back right now!

Help me! I need your help!

Good, good!

Put them together. Like this.

This one here, that one there.

Okay, over, over. Good, good.

Now the other one.

Okay. Good enough.

Let's go!

What the--?

That's fine! Leave it alone!

The train is coming!

The train is coming!

Come on, let's go!

You're alive!

- Anybody out there?

- We're in trouble now.

Are you all right?

I've changed my mind.

You can follow me home. Let's go.

Mayor's office.

What? A train accident?

He hit a giant creature?

What creature could be big enough to--

I need your car.

You can fix yourself? Neat-o!

Mom's home. Just stay here, okay?

I'll be back. Bye!

Bye.

What happened here?

Go on. Tell him what you saw, Frank.

You're not gonna believe this.

But it was a giant metal man.

Does anyone know where I can get to

a telephone nearby?

Would you say grace?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God...

...we thank you.

For...

...the food that Mom...

...has put in front of us and--

Stop!

The devil...

...from doing bad things and....

Get out of here!

Satan?

Go!

Go, so...

...that we may live in peace. Amen.

Amen.

That was really unusual, Hogarth.

Forgot to wash my hands.

Stop, stop!

All right. Come on. Over here.

Come on, over here. Come on.

Hey there, scout. Kent Mansley.

I work for the government.

Hey there. Kent Mansley. Work for

the government. Your parents home?

We're eating.

Who's there, honey?

Hello there. Do you have

a telephone I could use?

- There's one in the kitchen.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Here.

Pretend you're a gangster.

- You call me at home for this?

- You don't understand.

It ate my car.

And you saw this happen?

No, I didn't actually see it.

It went off into the woods.

So you don't have any evidence?

But I've got an eyewitness!

An eyewitness with a concussion.

This thing is a menace.

It tore up the power station.

It caused a train wreck!

What did?

Tell me again, Mansley,

and this time...

...listen to yourself.

A giant metal monster.

Please, sir. I've got

a feeling about this one.

That's lovely, Kent. But let me try

to explain how this works.

If you told me you'd found,

say, a giant footprint...

...I might send an expert

to make a plaster cast of it.

Get me a photograph

and I could get some troops over there!

But you tell me you've got a feeling...?

All right, fine. You want evidence?
