Friend Or Failure?/Transcript

Will: Alright, time for the movies!

Goo: Ooh, I’d love to see one. What’s the movie called?

Rico: And what’s it about?

Goo: Rico, that’ll spoil it.

Will: Well, I got it right now. [Opens box, tries to put the disc in disc player, door flies open]

Rocko: [Rolls in] Hello.

Goo: Witch!

Will: Uh… that wasn’t me that did that.

Rocko: You have 1 message. Play it?

Will: Sure.

Jake: [Pops in] Boo. I told him to say that entire thing. And I built him.

Goo: I’ve seen things, but never sphere-shaped robots. And why did you create it?

Jake: I made it because I need help sometimes, so this guy’s programmed to help. And his name’s Rocko. Cause he’s… actually, now that I say it, Sphereo sounds better.

Will: I’ll be honest, I think Rocko’s better than Sphereo. Many obvious reasons why.

Jake: Okay, who cares what it’s called. It’s a great robot.

Goo: Could I make that?

Jake: Sure. [Writes on a notepad, rips the paper off the notepad] Here’s a list of step-by-step videos you can find with Will there to get you started. Have fun! Rocko, let’s roll! [Rolls out, Jake walks out, closes door]

Goo: This is great! Now I can create a robot to do what I want!

Will: What’s the channel? Yoob has tons of channels, so I wanna make sure.

Goo: It says “Robot Studio” is the channel.

Will: Oh, yeah. Those two. [Opens laptop, types, clicks trackpad] This is the channel. [Scrolls down] There’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to create robots. There you go.

Goo: Wow. But how do I do this now?

Will: Make your cursor, that’s the little thing on the screen that moves around when you move the mouse, hover over the first video. It’s called “Episode 1: Getting Started.” [Goo moves the cursor, clicks video]

Goo: Ooh. Thanks, Will!

Ivan: Hello, I’m Ivan.

Marci: And I’m Marci. And welcome to the step-by-step playlist for creating your robot. First off, getting supplies.

[Montage begins, in a shop where Goo buys supplies, in Will’s garage where Goo building a robot and screwing in bolts]

Goo: Well, that was easy.

Marci: And that’s it! Simple, am I right?

Goo: Yeah, you are. 3, 2, 1, bam. [Hits button, robot shakes] Well, that isn’t good. I’m gonna go see if Ivan and Marci could help. [Scrolls to Videcall, sends a message to Ivan, waits, Videcall picks up]

Marci: Hello. So, what are you in need of?

Goo: Help. My robot’s just shaking when I turned him on.

Ivan: Well, let’s see. Bring it closer. [Goo moves computer towards robot] Okay, you have to attach the power source to everything, otherwise it’ll create too much power to hold and possibly blow up.

Marci: Also, don’t turn it on in your house. That’s very unsafe.

Goo: Okay, I’ll take that to consideration. Thanks! [Leaves call]

The scene cuts to outside

Goo: [Connects wires, jumps off] Okay, testing. [Hits button, the robot moves hands]

Robot: Model T3-5I booting up.

Goo: Yes!

Robot: Flight mechanism engaged.

Goo: Wait, what? [Robot starts to fly] (Screams) Oh, this is not good.

Will: [Runs outside] (Sighs) Just when I thought I didn’t have to save Goo every week.

Robot: [Flight stops, hovering] Cannot fly higher.

Goo: Oh, that’s good, but not at the same time.

Robot: Must deploy parachute. [Falls, parachute deploys]

Goo: Oh, thank goo I added a parachute. Now how do you work this? [Looks around, sees button] Convincing. [Hits button, parachute pops out] Dang it.

Robot: [Looks down] Falling. Hitting ground soon.

Goo: What do I do?! [Closes eyes, the screen fades to black] (Silence) [Opens eyes]

Will: (Crying) Oh, why was the universe like this?

Rico: (Crying) And he’s been with me for years.

Goo: Huh? What happened?

Will: You’re… alive?

Goo: I guess. [Feels self] What happened?

Rico: Well, I caught you at the nick of time and put you down. You didn’t move, so I thought you had passed out. Or worse.

Goo: Well, how’s the robot?

Rico: [Hops to the backyard, comes back with Robot’s head] He was destroyed.

Robot: [Eyes open] Model T3-5I booting back up.

Rico: I guess not.

Goo: Yes! [Grabs Robot’s head] You survived! How, though?

Robot: Parachute grabbed at last second. Ejected head from body. Body destroyed.

Will: I think he means he got the parachute just in time to float down. And that his body was destroyed. So all you have left is the head.

Rico: What do we do with it?

Will: I think I have something that could let him move around. [Grabs head, runs inside] (Crickets chirping) [Robot head rides out of the door, Will pops out of the door] I attached him to an RC car I have. Now it can ride around.

Robot: And now I can talk regularly.

Will: Yeah, I programmed him, so now he talks like us, and you can understand the robot. So, what’s its name?

Goo: Hmm… Roller. Roller the Robot.

Roller: I like it.

Will: Me too. Well, time to go inside.

Goo: Actually, I’ve got one more idea. [Goes into the backyard, comes back with scrapped metal, makes long arms, sticks them on Roller] There. Now he can help out.

Roller: [Uses hands] I like these, too.

Goo: Yeah, I’ll have to test out some bodies with the amount of energy you have, Roller. But once I get your body, you’ll be able to walk like us. And get up to higher spots!

Roller: I can wait. Besides, the wheels are a nice addition. [Pops self up, lands] And these are soft, so the ground’s impact isn’t as hard.

Will: I didn’t want him scrapping himself twice!

Goo: Now, let’s go inside. So, what do you think’s for dinner? [Walks inside with Will, Rico, and Roller]

The scene cuts to Underlands

King: Okay, why do you say you have enough power to get Goo? Where’s the proof, Temple?

Temple: I assure you, I am worthy enough. Now, for the return. What’s in it for me?

King: A large bag of Gems.

Temple: A useful return, I see. Well, time to see if Goo and Rico are hard enough as they’re heard.

King: Just be safe with them. Don’t hurt them.

Temple: Harm is worthless. Dialogue is key. [Hops up hole]
