Speaker Dialogue
(The episode begins with Anne showing her laptop to Sprig and Hop Pop.)
Anne And now, the internet. (She opens her laptop. Hop Pop and Sprig are amazed)
Sprig The answers to the mysteries of the universe right at your fingertips!
Hop Pop It's an endless well of knowledge!
Anne More like an endless well of cat videos!
(Sprig and Hop Pop gasp as Anne opens a video of a cat playing the piano.)
All Awww!
Hop Pop Do you think he's self-taught?
(Anne shows them another video of a dancing cat.)
All Ooooooooo!
(There is a loud bang as Polly kicks open the door to the garage.)
Polly Guys, guys, guys! I did it! I fixed Frobo! Come on, check it out!
Anne Fixed him?
Sprig Uh...
Hop Pop Okay, show us Fro-what the?
Anne What the...
(Polly has attached Frobo's head and arm to a broken washing machine with lots of electrical wires.)
Polly So, what do you think? Pretty impressive, right? (pats Frobo's head and gets zapped by an electric charge)
Anne (As Polly returns to the ground) Impressive's one way to put it.
Polly You guys ready for this?
Hop Pop Polly, I don't think you should turn him on yet.
Anne Yeah. Are you sure you even know what you're doing?
Polly Of course I know whta I'm doing, Anne. Everything's gonna be just (plugs in for the ignition) fine! (nothing happens)
Sprig Something's supposed to happen, right?
(Frobo fires deadly bolts suddenly, causing Anne and the Plantars to scream.)
Mr. Boonchuy (while he's coming home with a package) Finally, my new one-of-a-kind limited edition controller just came in. (A deadly laser beam hits the package, destroying it completely.) Awww...
(Frobo shoots more laser beams everywhere, one of them almost hits Domino, who was sleeping on the roof. She angrily swats the air. Anne unplugs Frobo, stopping the lasers. The garage is left with burn marks.)
Hop Pop (Shakes himself clean) Polly, what were you thinking? You could've just killed us.
Polly (nervous) Sorry. Sorry. (checks the inside of Frobo, which was previously the inside of a washing machine) I know he's got some kinks to work out, but...
Hop Pop Nuh-uh. Enough of this. I forbid you from working on this robot further.
Anne I'm with Hop Pop, Polly. I think we should wait till we get back to Amphibia. Then maybe we can find someone who knows robots, you know?
Sprig I know you miss him, we do too, but you just need to be patient.
Anne Hey, (is taking something out of a trash can) how about a new robot friend to play with? (she gets what she was looking for) This is (shows it to Polly) Teddy Lumpkins. (Polly gets creeped out.) He used to be my best friend.
Teddy Lumpkins I eat eyes...
Anne and Sprig (gasps)
Hop Pop What the...
Teddy Lumpkins ...cream. I eat ice cream.
Sprig Oh.
Hop Pop Well, that's fine.
Anne Loggle would like this thing.
Polly How dare you? Frobo can't be replaced! (jumps up and slaps Anne to drop Teddy Lumpkins to the ground, rolling toward the garage door)
Teddy Lumpkins I want to nibble your fingers. He he. (turns off)
(Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop make disgusted sounds.)
Hop Pop OK. Creepy bears aside, DON'T work on Frobo.
Polly (sighs) Maybe you guys are right
Anne Wow. That's surprisingly mature of you.
Polly Mm-hmm. Hey, can I borrow your laptop?
Anne I don't see why not.
(Later at night. Polly finishes cleaning the garage. She sits down and then begins to complain.)
Polly "Eeh. I forbid you. It's dangerous" Jmm. The look on their faces was pretty funny, though, huh, Frobes? (looks at him) Oh, right. You're still broken. But don't worry, we can fix you. I just need to educate myself. Anne did say you can learn anything you want on the Internet. I (opens the laptop) guess we should give it a try. Fasten your seat belt, Frobes. We're going in. (starts doing a few searches on the Internet, be it web pages, images, and videos. Two hours later...) Well, that was two hours of my life I'll never get back. Oh, hey. What's this? (finds a very interesting video and reads the description) "IT Gals. Just two girlfriends who really love robots". Coooool! (plays the video)
(A robot panda is shown.)
Ally Isn't he adorable?
Jess I just can't with that belly. (The robot panda falls and an image appears that says "It's cute!")
Ally Just goes to show, anyone can make and maintain a robot if you have the will, the know-how...
Jess ...and (She and Ally point to a playlist above) our step-by-step tutorials.
Ally and Jess And remember, if it doesn't compute, it's time to reboot. (The robot panda burns and they scream when they notice it.)
Polly Welp, that's all I needed to hear. (plays the playlist)
Jess Welcome to the IT Gals Self-Help Playlist. First up: Gearing up.
(A sequence starts. Polly puts on a builder's outfit and then brings some tools.)
Jess The keywords are safety...
Ally ...and style. If you find that you're having problem with the sockets...
Jess ...try finding any problematic lug nuts and tightening them up.
Ally Connect the red and blue wires.
Jess Don't forget to add cosmetics for flavor.
Ally You'll be surprised what tools you'll find just lying around the house.
Jess All right. it's time for today's topic: Souls. Do robots have them?
(The robot panda makes a noise when trying to speak.)
Ally It is our belief that anything with memories has a soul.
Jess And boy. Do robots have memory, am I right?
Ally You've heard from us, now we wanna hear from you.
Jess Chime in down below in the comments.
(Video ends.)
Polly Interesting query, ladies, (pulls a switch) but I think I'm (jumps to the ground) just about finished. (Presses the red button, but nothing happens. She screams.) Why aren't you turning on? Mmm... It's time to call in the big guns.
(A video call starts. IT Gals receive it.)
Ally Hello!
Jess How's it going?
Polly Uuh... Hi. My name's Polly. Big fan. Long story short: I have a bit of a (IT Gals notice Frobo) robotics issue.
Ally OH MY GOSH!
Jess Is that a robot?
Ally He's beautiful! (The robot panda intercepts and tries to speak, but only makes noise. Ally pushes it away.) Out of my way, Pandatron.
Jess Tell us everything.
Polly Well, he had a bit of an... accident. I think I've done a pretty sweet job of putting him back together, but he just isn't powering on.
Ally Well, what are you using as a power source?
Polly I (shows them a remote control) just took some batteries out of the TV remote.
Ally Ooh, no. That will never be enough.
Jess (While Ally looks for a picture on her cell phone) You could try a battery module with a compatible connector and corresponding voltage.
Ally (Shows her a picture that she found) Like the kind they put in those creepy animatronic children's toys.
Polly I think I've got just the thing. (looks at Teddy Lumpkins)
Ally Oh. But Polly, I definitely wouldn't turn him in your garage.
Jess Yeah. You'd need to be in a big space, like a warehouse and have tons of fire extinguishers. That thing looks like it's capable of a lot of output.
Ally I'll say it again: DO NOT do this at home.
Jess Heck. We can actually help you rent a space. It'll take a couple of weeks, but we--
Polly (Talks fast) Thanks, girls. I'll take that into consideration. Bye! (cuts the video call)
Ally Do you think she's gonna turn that thing on?
Jess (worried) Oooh yeah...
(Polly looks at Teddy Lumpkins.)
Teddy Lumpkins Just (Polly takes it) a nibble. I (Polly rips her battery out) swear.
(Polly goes to Frobo, jumps to the head, opens the battery compartment, takes out the two double A batteries, puts the large battery in place and closes the compartment.)
Polly This is it. When I (looks the red button) hit this button, HE'LL BE BACK! (gasps) I should get the fam. (goes to get them)
(The scene changes to the living room, where Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop are watching a show.)
Man I hate gravel. It's bumpy and bothersome. And it's gets everywhere.
Woman I love you.
(Fire missiles and screaming were happening,)
Anne I still can't believe you guys like the prequels more.
Sprig Look, Anne, we just watched them in order with no context.
Hop Pop You can't blame us for not having nostalgia.
Polly (arrives) I did it! I fixed him!
Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop You what?
Anne I thought you were looking at cat videos. Gosh! Dang it, Polly! You (snaps) outfoxed me again.
Polly There was deception, yes, but I got help on the Internet and now if I press this button, he'll be back. Yay, right? Say it with me now. YAAAAY!
Hop Pop Didn't I forbid you from working on him? It's way too dangerous for you to be messing around with things you don't understand.
Sprig Yeah. My hair is still singed from the last time you (makes his hands gesture in quotes) "knew what were doing".
Anne What if when you turn him on this time, he blows off your legs? You just got your legs. It's awesome that you fixed him but I think we should wait till we get back to Amphibia to turn him on. Just to be safe.
Hop Pop Seconded.
Sprig Thirded.
Polly (Sobs) I don't believe this! After all of the work I've done, after how much I've missed him, you three wanna leave him dead? (Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop get uncomfortable) Well, WHO NEEDS YOU, GUYS? (runs back to the garage)
Sprig Wait, (he, Anne and Hop Pop follow her) Polly! Get back here!
Hop Pop Polly! (Polly locks the door) Don't do it! (knocks on the door) It could be dangerous!
Polly (After being in front of Frobo) I ain't waiting another second to see my best friend again.
(Polly presses the red button to turn Frobo on, shorting out the entire house. Desperate Anne, Sprig, and Hop Pop are shown banging on the door.)
Anne POLLY! (She, Sprig and Hop Pop see the rays in the lights)
(Mr. Boonchuy is shown playing a game on his PC.)
Mr. Boonchuy All right! One more hit and this ten-hour boss battle will finally be over.
(The short circuit shuts down the PC, causing Mr. Boonchuy to become frustrated and hit his head with his hands.)
(Back in the garage, Polly sees Frobo lighting up, but she sees blue eyes.)
Frobo Start up engage. Model number F0-R1. Factory settings restored.
Polly (After getting on Frobo) Frobo? Is that you? It's me, Polly!
Frobo Username not recognized. Will now attempt to make contact with headquarters. A higher vantage point is necessary.
Polly A higher vantage point?
(Frobo activates his thrusters from his hands and takes off as Polly grabs onto him. She screams. Hop Pop leaves the house in his human disguise.)
Hop Pop Hang on, Polly!
(Hop Pop comes out and then Sprig in his disguise and Anne come out and the three of them look at Polly and Frobo and worry.)
Anne Oh no. Look.
(Suddenly the thrusters fail.)
Frobo Booster malfunction detected.
Polly Oooohhh... that can't be good.
(A freefall begins. Polly starts screaming. Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop are paralyzed and just after the IT Gals arrive on a scooter.)
Jess Hey, do you guys know Polly? Little kid? Has a tail? Built a crazy robot?
(Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop point up. The IT Gals watch Polly and Frobo as they hear Polly screaming.)
Ally and Jess (worried) Oh my gosh!
(Back with Polly and Frobo...)
Polly FROBO, WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE! (looks him in the face and starts to sob) PLEASE, IT'S ME, POLLY! YOU'VE GOT TO (hits him) REMEMBER! OH, FROBO, I JUST MISSED YOU SO MUCH, AND NOW WE'RE BOTH GONNA DIE. (hugs him) I'M SO SORRY.
(A tear enters Frobo's interior and reaches his internal hard drive, causing an electrical shock. A retrospective montage begins.)
(Flashback 1 of "Friend or Frobo?".)
Polly I will call you... Frobo. (Frobo makes a pose)
(Flashback 2 of "Friend or Frobo?".)
Polly Can we please keep him? I'll be his big sister.
(Flashback of "True Colors".)
Frobo Polly, I will save you.
(King Andrias destroys Frobo with a punch.)
Polly FROBO!
(Back in the present, Frobo regains consciousness as his eyes change to his usual eyes and then he looks at Polly.)
Frobo Po... Polly.
Polly FROBO! YOU'RE BACK! YAY! Quick, do something! We're about to hit the ground!
(Frobo looks at the ground and tries to activate his thrusters, but the left thruster misses. So, he puts Polly inside him, locks her up, and lets herself fall. He collides with a tree, then on the roof of the house and finally ends up in the backyard.)
(Polly recovers while Sprig charges her.)
Sprig She's OK!
Anne (relieved)
Hop Pop Oh thank frog!
Polly (looks at Frobo, who is only his head and then laments) You guys were right. (As Anne and Hop Pop reunite with her) I was so impatient with bringing him back to life that I killed him all over again.
(Polly starts crying as Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop comfort her.)
Frobo Po... Polly.
(Anne and the Plantars see Frobo lighting up.)
Polly (gasps) (happy) FROBO! (meets with Frobo) You big lovable lug! I'll fix you right this time and be slow and careful. No matter how much I miss ya. (hugs him)
Anne, Sprig and Hop Pop Aaaaww!
(The IT Gals interrupt. They are impressed.)
Ally Sturdy!
Jess Impressive!
(The IT Gals reunite with Polly and Frobo.)
Ally Looks like his hard drive is still one piece at least.
Jess I think next time. we just need to tune the PID controllers.
Polly (While Jess checks on Frobo and caresses him) Oh yeah. Increase his lateral and longitudinal stability. Totally.
Ally Mmm... I'm just curious, what was the covariance of the pose estimate coming out out of the SLAM module?
Polly "Simultaneous Localization and Mapping"? Well...
(Anne, Sprig, and Hop Pop watch Polly chatting with the IT Gals.)
Anne Wow. Polly really got into this computer stuff, huh?
Hop Pop Mmm... Maybe we shoulda used the interwebs to educate ourselves too instead of watching cat videos.
Sprig (takes out Anne's cell phone) Did someone say cat videos?
(Sprig plays a video of cats and together with Anne and Hop Pop they start dancing.)
Hop Pop Ain't that cute?
Mr. Boonchuy (screams) (worried) The backyard!
