[reading a letter from the front door] "Mrs. McCallister, there is no need to attend the upcoming parent-teacher conference because Tobey is a boy genius and a perfect student. But you will still need to pick up Tobey up at the end of the school day. Thank you. Robots forever." Good job, Tobey!
Theodore McCallister III, you promised me you would stop with this robot nonsense!
[Tobey is still grounded in his room sitting in his rocking chair, looking through a scrapbook with images of WordGirl.]
Oh, you think you’re SO perfect, don’t you? Always trying to show me up with excellent grasp of vocabulary and your dark, glossy locks! Well, your cleverness and beauty won’t be enough to stop me this time, WordGirl! This time.
[A knock on the door]
[offscreen] You’d better have your coat on, young man! We are leaving for the department store in five minutes!
Ready when you are mother! [closes the book on his thumb and cries out, then starts sucking on it]
[Tobey and his mother pull up in their vehicle.]
This is going to be an important trip for you, Tobey, because you’re going to learn to appreciate nature. And hopefully grow out of this silly robot phase.
Yes, Mother. That would make sense, except that nature is a thing of the past! Technology and robots are--
TOBEY! No robots! I don’t want a repeat of what happened last summer at basketball camp!
[#1 flashback scene from basketball camp. Johnson is trying to play defense against one of Tobey’s robots, but it leaps over him and dunks the basket. Tobey exclaims, “I win again!”]
Or two summers ago at baseball camp!
[#2 flashback scene from baseball camp, showing Johnson pitching to one of Tobey’s robots, which uses a telephone pole as a bat and sends the ball flying. Tobey exclaims, “I win again.” and Johnson says, “Aw, that was our last ball!”]
Or last, last, LAST summer at drama camp!
[#3 flashback scene from drama camp as Johnson dressed as Macbeth and holding a skull, exclaiming, “To be or not to be, that is the question.” The robot responds, “My data indicates the answer is ‘to be’.” Tobey exclaims, “I win again!” Johnson shouts, “That doesn’t even make sense in this situation!”]
I mean it, Tobey! No giant robots, end of story! You need to be more independent, and learn to do things on your own!
[Tobey is now standing outside the car talking to her.]
Okay Mother, I promise. No giant robots!
[She drives off. Once she is gone, Tobey ponders to himself.]
I didn’t say anything about SMALL robots that turn INTO giant robots! Heh-heh-heh-heh!
[He retrieves a small robot from his pocket and sets it on the ground. He presses a button on a remote, and the robot grows to giant size.]
Tobey, what are you-- What are you wearing?
Oh, this outfit? It's cruise-wear. Pretty spiffy, huh?
Heh. Uh, well, it's--it's something. Is that your robot?
Chronos! You were going to be my first mate!
Your robot almost destroyed the whole city!
[pops up] That's it! You're grounded for a week!
A week?!
You know, for someone who calls himself "The World's Most Formidable Boy Genius," your plans seem to go away a lot.
Fine. I admit, the robot didn't quite work as expected. I programmed him to stop time, but there must have been some glitch. All I wanted was to prolong summer. You know, forever?
Prolong summer?
Yes. If you don't know what prolong means I would happily define it for--
Prolong means to increase or extend. So if you tried to prolong summer vacation it means you wanted it to last longer, and I can't blame you for that.
You can't? You mean, you understand what I'm feeling?
I-I guess I do.
Since we're getting along so well, perhaps you'd like to come by for a little game of shuffleboard.
Wow, that sounds like a great time, but we've really got a lot to do. See you! [she and Huggy leave]
Call me! [Claire grabs Tobey by the ear and storms off with him]
Tobey, have you finally learned your lesson about robots?
I sure did, Ms. Davis. Next time, make sure robot mom get less peeved when insulted.
[offscreen] I HEARD THAT!
[looks at his mom] MOTHER!
[grabs Tobey's ear and leaves] You're coming with me young man!
[after Wordbot got defeated]
Huggy, we did it!
Well, I must say we make quite a good team. I'm smart, handsome, a brilliant inventor, and, if I do say so myself, quite independent.
Tobey! Have you been causing trouble with your robots again?
Oh, Mother, what a pleasant surprise.
[grabs Tobey's ear] You're coming with me! [walks away with Tobey]
Ow. Ow, ow, ow! Ow! Owww! [walks off camera and his head reappears] We should work together again! Call me! Ow! Mom! [his mom drags him off]
Sorry, Tobey, no can do. My devoted sidekick and I are already the perfect team.
Theodore McCallister III!
There's my name. But with a decidely negative tone. Oh, Mother. [he smiles and looks at his mom, but his mom takes him away by his ear] Ow, ow, ow, Mom!
