They look like us and they act like us. But they are not us. And one of them is missing. Hello, Casey. Uh, no. Hi, Casey, what's up? Casey? Yo, Case. Ugh. Um, how's life?
You're doing such a good job with Hermione, the robot, and, um, I was, um, wondering... Just ask her out already. Holiday! Why are you always sneaking up on me? And I wasn't... Where did you even come from? Oh, give it up, Psy. You have such a crush on her. It's kind of cute. Weird, but cute. It's not cute. I mean... She thinks I'm cute, but what Casey and I are doing is serious business. Building a robot. A competition robot. And I appreciate that. You and Casey seem to be good partners.
Even if she thinks it's funny to call me weird holiday names. Arbor Day was my favorite. See? You're a good match. Real quick before you go in there and propose to Casey. Holiday? Mom and Dad are still stuck on the idea that the spy is an adult. Even after Brinley sicked that crazy squirrel on us? She's a psycho and a spy, but it'll kind of help us do our thing at the concert if Mom and... Cyrus! Quit dragging and get in here! Hermione's ready for her big test. This robot is coming to life!
Hey, Groundhog Day. Hey, Casey. No time for pleasantries. Come on, Cy. To Hermione. Fine. If you won't move, I'll drag you. My big brother. Growing up. I'm so proud. Come on, Syfy, come on! Coming. And, uh, oh, you're still holding my hand. Shut it, Cyrus. Focus. Look at her. Look at what we've created. Okay, should we say something? Like, one small step for man. Totally sexist, but I like the idea. I mean, she's like our child.
And we're about to bring her to life. That's pretty cool. Okay, you're no wordsmith, but it'll do. Flip the switch? Flip the switch. Hello, Hermione. How are you today? Oh no. This can't be good. What a mess. Oh, no. Minor setback, right? Hermione exploded. Okay, so maybe not minor, but it's... It's my fault, you know? I should have double-checked.
Before it turned on not that you did anything wrong. I just you earned Checks and balances and not like you're not smart enough to have that. That's not what I meant. You're brilliant Casey? Case, are you crying? Crying? There's no crying in robotics. What am I, some emotional girl? No, but you're human. You know, I've cried too sometimes. Recently, even. About a robot? No. My sister. It's been a really tough few weeks, and well...
When no one was looking, I'd let myself cry a little. Because, you know, it's a proper biological response to stress and emotion. Scientifically speaking, I guess that's true. It's just... This competition, it's kind of a big deal. I know it is. No, no, you don't get it. For me, it's everything. It was kind of my... my ticket out, you know? What do you mean?
Well, my whole life I've been waiting, waiting for something to happen so I wouldn't feel so stuck. I don't want that. I don't want to be stuck here. I want to do something. Bigger, you know? Make a difference. So this competition, it... It was kind of my chance. And working with you has been... Forget it. I shouldn't have said that. It sounds lame.
No, no, I, uh... You just remind me of someone else who wanted to make a difference in the world. Not Brinley. No, my mom. And she made a couple of mistakes, some big ones, along the way of trying to make the world a better place. But she kept going. I really admire that in her. And in you. Thanks, Sci-Fi. But for future reference, it's weird when you compare girls you like to your mom. So, uh...
You know, pick another hero reference, kay? Thanks. Did you hear that? Hear what? Wait, wait, girls I like? You know, I... I mean... You think I'd like you? Data points that way. Don't you? Well... There it is again. I think it's circling. What? The helicopter? Yeah, so what? Attention with your middle school. This is an emergency. Repeat, this is an emergency. Oh no.
