[Dendy is running around the parking lot while Rad and Enid are sweeping up of what's left of Acid's body]

Den: W-Wowee! I couldn't believe-- And did you see-- And, like, it was-- It was so-- Aah. When I'm a hero, I'm gonna be just like Ms. Spark! [Grunting, fake punching]

Enid: [Laughing] There's a lot more to being a hero than just fancy moves, kid. It takes hard work. This is us training under Ms. Spark to be great heroes.

Den: Whoa! So you guys are training by just, like, cleaning up garbage? Well, well, I could do that. I must do that.

[The title card appears.]

Rad: [Trying to fit one last robot part into the garbage can.] Uh, we don't just clean up garbage, kid. We also fight evil robots.[Slams the last robot piece inside the garbage can, grunting] Sometimes.

Den: Ooh, sometimes. But wait, that means more than one times. How can there even be so many robots?!

Enid: Take a knee, Den [Kneeling on one knee.]

Den: [Fully kneeling.]

Enid: I said knee, not knees.

Den: Oh, is this better? [Kneeling on one knee.]

Enid: Yes, now look. When a dumb nerd and a dumb factory love each other very much, they waste a lot of time and money making dumb robots to attack the plaza.

Den: Dumb nerd? Dumb nerd?! What dumb nerd!

Rad: Lord Turbobutt.

Den: Of course, the Turbobutt.

Enid: It's Lord Turbofist. And are you seriously trying to tell me that you didn't notice that giant evil factory across the street?

[Thunder crashes, suspenseful music plays.]

Den: Whaaaaaaat?!

[Rad and Enid both laugh.]

Lord Turbofist: [Looking out the window.] Gross.

Acid: Aah! [Crashes through the window.] Oh, hey, dad. I'm Back!

Lord Turbofist: And?

Acid: And... I failed you.

Lord Turbofist: No, you failed me! Come, Acid, do you know why I send you robots over to destroy Lakewood Plaza? To eliminate friendship! Lakewood Plaza is crawling with friendship!

Acid: Hey, look! More me's!

Lord Turbofist: Silence! You see Acid--

Carrie 2199: If I could just have a sliver of your time, Lord Turbofist. A client, uh, just called.

Lord Turbofist: Carrie 2199, can you not see that I'm trying to focus on getting upset about some kids across the street having fun?! [Blows up Carrie]

[Carries 2403 and 2055 are laughing.]

Lord Turbofist: I hate people enjoying each other.

Carrie 2403 and Carrie 2055: Uh...

Lord Turbofist: When people enjoy each other, they don't buy evil fighting robots. This is a graph of our sales.

[Graph displays a slow decline in sales.]

Acid: Ooh, math!

Lord Turbofist: Now watch what happens when we introduce friendship to the equation. [Presses a button, the graph plummets, displaying little to no sales.] See? Friendship, lowers, our, graphs! Besides, it's just plain disgusting. [Opens a hatch to a furnace.]
