Robots

[ rousing orchestral fanfare playing ]

Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!

Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!

Boing! Boing! Boing...

One Grease Cone, please.

Here you go. Thanks.

Wa-hoo!

I'm gonna be a dad!

I just talked to my wife!

My baby's gonna be delivered any minute!

Hey! Get out of the way!

Hey! Hey! I'm gonna be a dad!

Congratulate me! Wa-hoo!

Huh? Hmm?

Good for you, Herb!

Don't even think about it.

Whoo-hoo! Hey!

Whoa! Ha-ha! Ha-ha!

Oh! Sorry! Hey, how are you?

Nice to see you.

I'm gonna be a dad! Congrats!

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, Mr. Nuts,

did you hear the news? Yeah!

Beautiful day, isn't it?

I'm here! I'm here!

I'm here. Oh, honey,

I'm so sorry.

You missed the delivery.

Oh...

But it's okay.

Making the baby's the fun part.

Honey,

I think you've got the wrong, uh...

: No.

I don't need to see the directions.

Push! Push!

Push...!

Whoa!

: Oh!

12 hours of labor.

Oh, but it was worth it.

Look at him. Look at him!

Rodney Copperbottom.

He's got your mom's eyes and my dad's nose.

I knew we were smart to save those parts.

This Copperbottom will do great things

for the world-- I can feel it.

Honey? What?

What's that extra piece?

Oh. Oh, no, they always put in an extra...

We did want a boy, right?

This won't hurt a bit, son.

Got your nose.

Got your nose.

Got your...

Whoa!

Dada!

Hi, son.

Are those my big-boy parts?

They sure are.

Wow!

They're not... shiny.

Well, they're not brand-new.

They're p... pre-owned, so...

They're... hand-me-downs,

from your cousin, Jeffrey.

And they're only for a year.

Ow...

Ow!

Ow-ow! Aah!

Hey, Dad!

Who's that?

That, Rodney, is Bigweld,

the greatest robot in the world.

I thought you were the greatest robot in the world.

: No, besides me.

He's the head of Bigweld Industries.

He invents things that make everyone's life better.

Could I meet him?

Sure. Maybe someday.

Dad? Yeah?

What do you do?

Me? Oh, I work in a big, fancy restaurant.

I'm a dishwasher.

And now, live from Robot City,

it's the "Bigweld Show"!

Wa-hoo!

Oh, yeah! Uh-huh!

Come on, Dad, you're missing it!

: All right, all right,

Rodney, all right, I'm coming, I'm coming.

I had to bring work home with me again-- I'm sorry.

Mr. Gunk has really been piling it on.

And now, the host of our show,

Bigweld!

Welcome!

This week, I thought you might like

to take a look around Bigweld Industries.

This here is the front gate.

Kind of cute, ain't it?

Good morning, Tim.

Good morning, Mr. Bigweld, sir!

Tim, who closed the front gate?

Well, I just thought since, uh...

Oh... we never shut the gate, Tim.

Shutting this gate means shutting out fresh ideas.

You see, every day robots come here from hither and yon,

bringing us new ideas.

And I listen to every single one of them.

Hmm?

Hmm? Aah!

So remember, whether a bot is made

of new parts, old parts or spare parts,

you can shine no matter what you're made of.

He's talking to me, Dad.

He sure is, son, he sure is.

Okay, folks,

let's get to inventin'!

You, know, I love to tinker,

but all the tinkering in the world isn't useful

unless it starts with a good idea.

So look around for a need,

and start coming up with ideas to fill that need.

One idea will lead to another, and before you know it...

...you've done it!

See a need, fill a need.

That's it, Dad.

I have to look for...

...a need.

Easy, now.

Ow! Ow!

Hey there, sport!

Oh. Hi.

These are your 12-year-old parts. They're...

Hand-me-downs. I-I know, Dad.

I don't mind.

They are from your cousin...

Veronica.

: You know how popular she is.

[ "Pomp and Circumstance" playing over cheers ]

Thanks.

: Oh. Oh, hey. Hey.

Soon as you reach the age

where your warranty expires,

you start falling apart.

Pretty soon there's gonna be more duct tape than me.

Can I try it now, Dad?

: Oh. Oh, Rodney... uh...

Have you worked all the kinks out of it yet?

Come on, this is gonna make your job easy.

I invented it for you.
