Alarm: Good evening, Carl. Welcome back.

Carl: That was by far the most boring party I've been to in the last 25 years. Every time I go to one of these, I ask myself: what the hell am I doing here? I hate cocktail parties and all the schmoozers that go there.

Markus: Well, it's a chance for all those people who admire your work to meet you.

Carl: No one gives a damn about art. All they care about is how much money they're gonna make out of it. Come on, let's have a drink! All the excitement of this whole thing has made me thirsty...

Markus: Scotch, neat, as usual?

Carl: Absolutely.

Markus: Okay! But you know what your doctor would say...

Carl: Yeah... Well, he can kiss my ass! I'm old enough to choose my own medication... Did you leave the light on in the studio?

Markus: No... No, I'm sure I didn't.

Carl: Call the Police.

Police: Detroit Police, what's your emergency?

Markus: This is Carl Manfred's android, at 8941 Lafayette Avenue. We've just returned home and found the lights on. There may have been a break-in...

Police: A patrol car is on the way.

Carl: Let's go check it out. Leo! What are you doing?

Leo: You refuse to help me, so I'm helping myself... It's crazy what some people will pay for this shit...

Carl: Don't touch 'em!

Leo: Look, they're all going to be mine sooner or later anyway... Just think of it as a down payment on my inheritance...

Carl: Markus, get him away from there. Get him outta here!

Markus: Be reasonable... this isn't going to get you anywhere.

Leo: All you ever do is tell me to go away... What's wrong, Dad? I'm not good enough for you? Not perfect like this FUCKING THING?!

Carl: That's enough! Get out, right now! Go on, move!

Leo: What makes it so special anyway, huh? What's it got that I don't?

Carl: Leave him alone!

Leo: Come on, let's see what you got!

Carl: Markus... don't defend yourself, you hear me?! Don't do anything.

Leo: Go ahead, hit me! What you waiting for? Think you're a man? Act like one!

Carl: Stop it!

Leo: What's the matter? Too much of a pussy?

Carl: STOP IT, LEO! STOP IT!

Leo: Too scared to fight back, you fucking bitch? Oh right, that's right! I forgot, you're not a real person... You're just a FUCKING PIECE OF PLASTIC! Listen to me...

Carl: No, Leo! Leave him alone!

Leo: I'm gonna destroy you, then it'll just be me and my Dad... I'm gonna tear you apart and nobody's gonna give a shit. You know why? Cause you're nothing, you hear me?! YOU'RE NOTHING!

Carl: Leo! Oh, my God! Leo... My little boy...

Markus: Carl, I...

Carl: They'll destroy you, Markus! You gotta go! Get outta here!

Markus: Carl, no... No, please, I don't want to leave you... Please, I can't... I don't want to leave you...

Carl: GET OUT! NOW! GO! MARKUS!

Police: DON'T FUCKIN' MOVE!
