Not Quite Human

Chip: Dinner's ready.

Becky: I'm not hungry.

Chip: Are you upset because Brian is taking Erin to the dance?

Becky: Please just leave me alone.

Chip: I can take you to the dance.

Becky: That's all I need, a 400-pound robo-geek stepping all over my feet. No thanks. Now would you just go away a quit ruing my life, okay?

Chip: I didn't mean to ruin your life, Becky.

Becky: Yeah, well you have. Ever since you came into this family.

Chip: I'm sorry.

Becky: Just forget it. Look, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Chip: That's okay... I deserved it.

[Chip leaves]

Becky: Feelings? I don't believe it!

[she rushes to the kitchen were Chip and Jonas are preparing for dinner]

Becky: Dad, you're not gonna believe this! Guess what? I hurt Chip's feelings.

Jonas: Well why would you want to-what?

Becky: He said he'd take me to the dance and I said no way and I swear, I hurt his feelings. I could tell.

Jonas: Now don't jump to any conclusions. You've gotta be rational and scientific. Chip, how do you feel?

Chip: Feel?

Jonas: When Becky said she couldn't go to the dance with you. What was your reaction?

Chip: Something heavy, right in my central computer.

Jonas: Yes?

Chip: Something hot, right near my video sensors.

Jonas: Becky, you may be right. He may be experiencing human emotion.

Becky: Wow.

Chip: Is that good?

Jonas: Good? If it's true, it's fantastic!
