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? <i> What is the problem?
It's just the eye doctor.</i> The problem, Todd, is that I have an irrational
phobia of the ophthalmologist. <i> But that does not compute.
You are a genius.</i> 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! <i> Why don't you do the exam
and make new glasses yourself?</i> [gasping]
Todd, you beautiful piece of robotic machinery,
that's a great idea. Hmm. Mm. hmm. <i> How is it looking?</i> [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. <i> Right.</i> 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. <i> [Todd]
Understood.</i> Okay, Lisa. Lisa? <i> Where to now, Lisa?</i> 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. <i> But Lisa, I don't think--</i> Oh, Todd, please. I think I can identify
a train whistle when I hear one. <i> You never take me seriously.</i>
