Script[]
| Vince shows a Female Employee a camera picture of his child. | |
| Female Employee | Aww, lookit him. He's got your eyes. |
| Vince | (holding his glasses) Poor kid! |
| A few other employees show up. | |
| Female Employee | How's Sam holding up? |
| Vince | She's good. But she already wants to go back to work. That place would fall apart without her. |
| Female Employee | I can't believe they haven't fired her boss. |
| Vince | Hey, I know it. Maybe with her gone a couple of weeks they'll have to. |
| Dark-skinned Employee | Oh-ho! Is this Vince Jr.? |
| Vince | Michael, actually. |
| Plump Employee | Raising a child is the most challenging thing in the world. But it's also the most rewarding. |
| Balding Employee | They really do make all of this worth it. You're a lucky man. |
| From a distance, a lone Warbot overhears their conversation... | |
| That night, Warbot sets up a profile at MatchME.com, its name being X-017 and its age 7. The rest are incoherent, jumbled text. | |
| One week later... | |
| Warbot checks its messages back at the office. The message onscreen reads... | |
| Hi. I'm Angela. I've never used one of these services before so I'm a little embarrassed lol :-) but you don't sound like all the other guys I meet...I work in marketing so I run into alot of scumbags lolol...Let's grab some lunch later this week...unless you're a stealth scumbag!!! ;-p | |
| It goes into a little montage, where Warbot meets three girls, all of who were unimpressed by him. The first one he meets at a cafe, the second at the movie theater, and the third at the park. | |
| Warbot deletes its profile... | |
| Warbot buys a cart of supplies at Shack of Radios and that night, attempts to build itself a child. Loud, grating sounds are heard. | |
| Robot Child | (lying on a wastebasket) Daddy? I'm scared, Daddy. It's so dark, Daddy. (fading) So daaaaaark. |
| A few days later, there was a Bring Your Daughter To Work Day in the workplace. All the other employees brought their children with them, except Warbot, who continued to sit alone in its table... | |
Trivia[]
- Atomic Robo makes a cameo appearance in a calendar photo in Warbot's cubicle, and in a movie poster in the movie theater.
