Chip Carson
- 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!
- [Jonas is testing the android's motor functions]
- Jonas: Very good, C-17. Now raise your left arm.
- [he complies]
- Jonas: All right. Now dangle legs over the table, left side.
- [he complies]
- Jonas: Very good. C-17, that's wonderful. Everything's working beautifully.
- Becky: C-17, is that his name?
- Jonas: Well, it is for now until you help me come up with a better one. Something normal.
- Becky: Um, how about something like Sting or Prince, you know, like from a rock group?
- Chip: Which rock group? Igneous or sedimentary?
- Jonas: If anyone tries to reprogram Chip in a negative way, he's programmed to self-destruct.
- Becky: Destroy himself? How awful.
- Jonas: It's a safety precaution. We could never allow Chip to fall into the wrong hands.
- Chip: What if they could bypass the system, dad?
- Jonas: Well, I've thought of that, but first they'd have to know that you had a self-destruct system, which is highly unlikely, but if they found it, well... I have a backup system that I could activate by remote.
- Chip: You could explode me, right dad?
- Jonas: Yes.
- [after reviewing Chip's recording where he practically told his friends that he's an android]
- Becky: Dad, he's going to ruin everything if he keeps talking like that!
- Chip: Why? It was true.
- [to Jonas]
- Chip: You programmed me always to tell the truth.
- Becky: Yeah, but you don't have to spell it out, micro-brain.
- Chip: Shouldn't I tell the truth, dad?
- Jonas: No! I mean yes, but human beings have a way of being honest without...
- Becky: Spilling the beans.
- Chip: I see. You mean I can be honest without telling the truth.
- Jonas: Right.
- Chip: Doesn't compute, dad. My logic program rejects it.
- Becky: Go straight home, plug yourself in and wait 'til I get there. First do my math homework, page 52 in the orange book.
- Chip: Dad told me never to do your homework or your chores.
- Becky: Great, now he's turning human on me. Okay, just forget it then. Just go home.
- Chip: Can I speak to anyone? Eron said she wanted to talk to me after school today.
- Becky: Eron? No way, forget it! If you see her, run the other way. Understand?
- Chip: Why?
- Becky: Because she likes you.
- Chip: You like Brian, but you're not running away.
- Becky: Yeah, but that's different, I'm...
- Chip: Human?
- Becky: Anyway, who says I like him?
- Chip: Well, you blushed and your body temperature rose by two degrees. My heat sensors picked it up.
- Becky: That doesn't mean I like him. Three degrees means I like him, two degrees means he's just okay.
- Chip: Oh, well his body temperature rose three degrees. Does that mean he likes you?
- Becky: Hmm, you might be useful someday after all.
- Chip Carson: Becky doesn't like me.
- Dr. Jonas Carson: Don't worry.
- Chip Carson: I won't worry, Dad. I don't know how.
- [the Carsons are on the road to their new home]
- Jonas: I'm hungry, anybody else want to stop for a bite to eat?
- Becky: I'm starving.
- Chip: Me, too.
- Becky: He doesn't have to eat, does he, dad?
- Chip: I'm programmed to have three meals a day.
- Jonas: That's right.
- Becky: But why?
- Jonas: Well, wouldn't it seem strange if Chip were having lunch with his friends and he's the only one who doesn't eat?
- Chip: Kids like to eat. Pizza, hamburger, French fries...
- Becky: Yeah, but how?
- Jonas: I've equipped him with a micro-compactor that compresses all the food he consumes into tiny little packages he can store for the end of the day.
- Becky: That is so gross. I'm not hungry anymore.
