Short Circuit 2

This is ground control.

Citation Zebra-Bravo is landing on Runway 3-0 right.

Police and security to full alert immediately.

Rolex watches.

You know the name, now own the watch.

Oh, you little rascal, running away like that.

Are you all seeing how he is running around?

He is programmed to be doing that.

This is a highly sophisticated robot for $19.95.

No tax, please note.

Hey, uncle, are you wanting to buy? Uncle, there's no obligation.

Rolex. Rolex watch.

You know the name, now own the watch.

How much is that? The ultimate in Swiss craftsmanship.

No doubt you've seen these on sale at Tiffany's for $1700.

I deal in volume. My special price to you today, 39.95.

39.95. How are you gonna beat that?

You gonna beat that? How are you gonna beat that?

Would you like a robot?

How's your line moving, pal?

They're not selling like pancakes, that is for certain.

Maybe I should be selling them door-to-door, huh?

Door-to-door? In this town?

Did you just fall off the banana boat or what?

I do not travel with bananas, sir.

And I'll have you know I've been kicking

around town for two days' time already.

Really?

Interested in upgrading your image? Up my image?

I'm gonna let you have half of my inventory, huh?

What would you say to that?

Ooh! What the...?

Wha...? - Why, hey. Oop.

Oh, look at that.

Wait, Mr. Slater, look, look. You haven't seen this.

You haven't seen this before. Check it out.

Look, see? They're hands.

They clap.

I know it'll sell. Sandy, we don't sell novelty items.

Now how many chances am I supposed to give you?

I told you I want high tech and I want it now.

For Christmas, not Easter, got it?

Yes, sir, high tech.

I'll can the hat and I'll keep looking.

And if you don't mind, Miss Banatoni, some of us are trying to work.

Ah. That's better.

Silence is better than Little Richard?

I can let you have these, rock bottom, wholesale.

You're gonna clean up.

That is nice of you, but I'm occupying myself...

The toy robot business, that's pathetic.

They're not gonna move. Not in this town.

Excuse me, is this yours?

Yes.

It is called Number Five.

It rolled right past my office.

- Listen... - Excuse me.

My friend and I were taking a meeting. Who are you?

Sandy Banatoni, assistant buyer, Simpsons Toy Department, okay?

Listen, these are great toys. Thank you.

I showed this to my boss, he loves it.

Where did you get them? Oh, I am making them.

I am Ben Jahrvi.

Titanic Toy Corporation. Like the ship?

I'm sorry I haven't heard of you. Where are you located?

Well, actually, I am based in that vehicle right over yonder.

No, I mean, where is your assembly plant, your offices?

Well, you're also there. It is also my home.

You mean you make these yourself?

In there? Yeah.

Yes, you see, robotics is the only livelihood I am knowing.

Are you wanting to purchase one?

See the hands? They bendy like that.

We deal in volume. I couldn't possibly order less than a thousand.

One thousand? A thousand.

A thousand? We could do a thousand.

No perspiration, if the per-unit price is at all attractive.

Who are the "we"?

We could go maybe 50 a piece?

Oh, no, I'm only charging $19.95. A day, to rent.

If you wanna buy them wholesale, 50.

We could live with 50 a piece. Okay.

Maybe, but seriously, how long before you could deliver?

Oh, well, you just want a rough estimate of how long?

Yes, yes, 1 000 robots?

This is a ballpark figure, you know? We round it off...

They could be ready for delivery middle of October.

Really? 1993.

Rolex.

Get a Rolex watch.

Look, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

We're in two different worlds here.

I mean, I'd have to have them in, like, 30 days.

Thirty days?

I'm sorry. Oh, wait a minute.

You know, he meant with our current facilities.

But we could expand our operation, you know?

We can get more personnel, a larger factory.

Once we get your cash advance, we could be in high gear.

Again you say this "we" part, sir.

My boss would never go for cash advance.

For Simpsons, we'll forego the advance.

Tell you what. How does this sound?

We'll show up at your door October 15th this year with 1000 of these fine robots.

You guarantee to buy them $50 apiece, COD, huh? Huh?

Okay. Yeah, okay.

Get your lawyers on the paperwork. We got a deal.

We got a deal. Thank you, thanks very much.

We are making a deal. Well, this is most pleasantly pleasing.

I am studying with fervor to become a citizen of your country 'tis of thee.

You are appreciating my robots, huh? Yeah.

Did you ask me a question?

Benny, merchandise is running away. Get back here, you're grounded.

Bye, now. I'm going to take your batteries out.

Bad boys.

First things first. Before the first thing is a question.

Who are you and what is your good name, sir?

Fred Ritter. I'm in the entrepreneur business.

I ask financial questions like "Where's your capital?"

Washington, D.C.

All right. Simple words.

How are you gonna build those robots yourself with no money?

I am thinking I will contact my friends Newton and Stephanie in Montana.

Perhaps they can assist me financially.

Montana? You got friends here.

I just got you your big break. Tell me what you need.

Oscar, step aside.

Stay back, ladies. Back, there.

Mr. de Ruyter, may we have a word?

Mr. de Ruyter, welcome to the U.S. and welcome to First Federal Trust.

It's a great honor for all of us at the bank and I'd like...

Might we step inside, please?

Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.

Madson steel alloy, A450.

Of course. Built by Heimdall, completely custom.

I must say, we're really quite, quite proud of it.

Mm-hm.

Gentlemen, the Vanderveer Collection.

We'll keep them here until one day

before the exhibition is to open at the museum.

Of course, during the day we'll have a special detail of six armed guards.

And at night, they'll be augmented by 12

strategically-placed security personnel.

- Excellent. - Glad you approve.

Comes due in 30 days. Yes, Mr. Arnold, I'm aware.

But it takes money to make money.

And this is a sure thing. With this, I am guaranteed in the black.

And you. Your money, your interest is in your pocket in full, on time.

No bullshit.

And this time, I have great collateral.

Fifty-five Rolex watches.

You know the name, now own the watch.

I know the name, Fred.

And your body is your collateral.

Oh.

Now, this does not change our original contract.

Absolutely not.

Still owe me everything. Absolutely.

In 30 days. Thirty days.

This is it, your new factory rented just for you.

Right here?

You see? This is why I'm studying to become citizen of your great country.

In one day's time only,

a man can go from a mean street corner like this one

to a tall sky scraping building like that one.

What are you talking about? Not the bank.

One-eighty, over here.

Huh?

Midtown, centrally located,

been here since 1902.

Beautiful, huh?

And a historic building.

Come on.

Huh?

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

They're gonna tear it down in a couple of months.

Sweet-talked them into a short-term lease.

Really? Got it for a song.

It will work, though, right?

It's got everything we need.

It's got walls and windows.

Phone service.

All the square footage you could ask for.

Hi.

Benny, I'd like you to meet your production staff.

They're fast learners, they're hard workers,

and, hey, minimum wage.

Now here's your budget for tools and parts and all that.

I promised our staff a three-course dinner.

Got my favorite table reserved at McDonald's.

Excuse me?

How are you obtaining this financial funding?

A little muscle, a whole lot of hustle.

Everybody get a watch?

Yeah, I got a watch.

Come on, you like McNuggets?

- Who is he? - Trust me.

I don't believe it.

Well, this is just great.

Just great. Who the hell are they?
