Sweetie, look, Mom and I think it's time
for you to go see the eye doctor.
Wha- What? Poppycock.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall be in the living room.
Ahh! Augh!
I'm okay!
Mother's cacti garden broke my fall!
Hmm. When did we move all these cacti inside?
What is the problem? It's just the eye doctor.
The problem, Todd,
is that I have an irrational phobia of the ophthalmologist.
But that does not compute. You are a genius.
I said it was irrational, Todd.
And I've tried to train myself to move past it, but I can't.
[whimpering]
Now, just a puff of air.
[cackling]
No! Not the--ahhhh!
Why don't you do the exam and make new glasses yourself?
[gasping] Todd, you beautiful piece
of robotic machinery, that's a great idea.
Hmm. Mm. hmm.
How is it looking?
[gasping]
Well, it's not perfect,
but I'd say it gets the job done.
Now can you give me a little space?
You're way too close, Todd.
Right.
Now let's show Mother and Father.
[groaning]
Ugh. Problem solved, parents.
I've forged myself a new pair of glasses, and all is well.
Counterpoint, you did kinda just fall down the stairs.
Eh. You say tomato, I say mildly near-sighted.
And I say tomorrow morning you are going to the eye doctor,
and, maybe the pediatrician too to see if you have any damage
from that fall.
Fine.
Lisa, thank you for being so mature about this.
[gasping]
Oh dear. Father, this is what happens
when you neglect your vehicle. Shame.
Oh well, I guess we can't go.
Oh!
So that's how it's gonna be, huh?
Well, too bad you didn't think of this, you little genius.
Mr. Grouse? Five Lynn-sagnas to borrow your car. Ha-ha-ha.
[gasping] Okay, ten, but no extra sauce.
Ohh. Chicken bones?
Oh, yeah, honey, uh,
Grouse said not to mess with those.
He chews on 'em at stoplights to get the last of the meat off.
[groaning]
Yeah, thank you Santa, for the nifty satellite set.
Now let's just hack
into the Royal Woods transportation grid
and create a little traffic, shall we?
[cackling]
[tires skidding, honking]
Dang it! Where did all this traffic come from?
We're never gonna make the appointment now.
I know a shortcut. Turn here.
[tires skidding]
[screaming]
[tires skidding]
See? I go this way all the time.
Really? 'Cause I don't think that was a road, hon.
[groaning]
Hmm, perhaps some precipitation will slow us down.
[cackling] A little cloud seeding
and voila.
We are not missing that appointment!
Hmm.
Hmph.
Ha-ha! We made it.
Heh-heh. I mean, Lisa, we'll wait for you in the lobby.
You'll be just fine, sweetie.
That's right, Lisa.
This is a completely painless exam.
So you say.
But I know all about the dreaded puff of air.
On an unrelated note, what languages do you speak?
Uh, Thai, Spanish and English.
Ah. So no French, hmm?
Je suis au troisième étage.
Aidez-moi à m'échapper.
[Todd] Understood.
Okay, Lisa. Lisa?
Where to now, Lisa?
I don't know but we can't stay here.
We've got 4.3 minutes
before everyone will be looking for us.
Thus, we gotta skip town, go on the lam,
get the heck outta Dodge.
Ugh! [train horn tooting]
Did you hear that?
We must be near the train station.
This way, Todd.
But Lisa, I don't think--
Oh, Todd, please.
I think I can identify a train whistle when I hear one.
You never take me seriously.
