Lemur See, Lemur Do
Maurice! Mort!
Something wrong, your majesty?
Yes You did not tell me it was my birthday!
It's not your birthday.
Of course it is. Otherwise, why would have given me this gynormous present?
Yeah, we didn't get you a present.
I did.
No you didn't. No, I did!
I didn't.
Oh, I see! So you forgot my birthday.
No, it's not your birthday.
And this isn't a birthday present.
Protect me!
Oh, hello.
Whoa, no. Stop right there! Come no closer!
Maurice, it is doing everything I am doing.
I do not like it, Maurice. Look how it mocks me in silence,
it's like a mini mime.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop it!
This is a worst birthday ever.
A hot cup of joe and a quiet morning. Nice.
I beg you, please.
Back up.
What?
That thing, it is a mocking machine.
See that? It just wants to hurt me.
Ah! Where did you get a robot?
Oh, please, do not be pretending, because I know it was you
who made this robot thing to mock me.
Quit it!
Well, ringtail, we are indeed working on a mocking you scenario.
Operation "Mock Julian"
But it's still in the lab.
It's only at mach 2. I'd like to get to mach 8 before implementation.
So if you did not make this copying cat, who did?
Who, indeed?
No, who indid.
According to my research,
this robot was designed to learn how to be a lemur before being sent on an outer space mission.
Once the robot has mastered lemur behavior
it will be sent to explore Mars.
Isn't space exploring more of a chimp thing?
It's a life-emulating robot. Aka the LEM-R.
The humans believe that lemur locomotion is ideal for traversing the hummocky Martian landscape.
Hummocky. Fascinating
What?
He's saying that the robot is here to learn from you.
Learn, from me?
Yes, he's going to copy your every move and then take that knowledge into space.
Into space.
I am a rolling model!
I shall teach you everything about being a lemur king.
The bossing, the boasting.
But mostly of all - the boogying.
This can't be right.
I shall call you... Lemmy.
Now you are royalty just like me.
But still you have many things to do.
As I was saying.
You have many things to be learning.
Things like the mambo,
the moonwalk,
the epyptian,
the electric noodle.
The robot.
No, no, jerkier. You know, like a robot.
I would think that one would be easy for you.
I don't like robot.
Listen, since that robot showed up, my life has been easy, real easy.
So don't ruin this, Mort. D-don't.
I still don't like robot.
Yes, Lemmy. You're bringing it to the street and keeping it realistic.
It's madness, utter madness!
That robot will need to be decisive, focused, practical,
and able to disarm a tentacled space squid from 50 yards.
Right.
You can't boogie your way out of a martian invasion,
Those space squids play for keeps.
But what can we do about it?
Extract the robot from Julian's sick schooling and teach it the penguin way.
Yes! Yes! We're getting a robot.
- Affirmative. - But how are we gonna get the robot away from Julian?
Leave that to me.
Okay.
Really?
You want us to play hide and seek?
Yes, it is good idea. You like?
I do, Mort, I do.
Lemmy can learn my seeking technique,
ooh, also my counting technique
I have added a few numbers of my own that you will be loving.
One, tulien,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
me-leven.
First off, I'd like to welcome our robotic ambassador to Mars.
We're going to teach you some patended penguin moves that I think you'll find very useful.
Especially when you come face-to-snout with a vicious space squid.
Now watch. Lotus strike.
Roundhouse squared.
Combo punch.
You are getting all this, friend?
Where you going?
Dancing? No, no.
We're teaching you the techniques you can use here.
Don't you understand? We know what's best for you.
Robot, I refuse to let you leave this compound.
Beautiful roundhouse
Oh, Lemmy!
Where is my little robo-rascal?
Oh, Leeeeeeeeemmy...
I have lost all sensation in my feet
I think I have internal bleeding.
You are thinking you can hide from me,
but you can't.
You found me. Yay!
Of all the disappointments, this is a dissapoint-iest.
Where is my bionical buddy? Who knew he was so good at hiding.
Maybe he's so good, you'll never, ever see him again.
Especially with the penguins.
No, Mort, I will never stop seeking my Lemmy.
I will seek and seek and seek.
Okay. But the penguins don't have him, all right?
Okay, that almost sounded suspicious to me.
Do you know some things about where my robot is, Mort?
Oh no, I know no things.
Okay. Then you won't mind if I
tickle you.
Pile on, men.
Spill your guts, Mort.
Spill your tiny, tiny guts. Where is my Lemmy?
Mort, the back of your knee, the back of your knee. Mort, are you ready to tell me?
No, more tickling.
I will spill my guts now.
Kowalski, report.
The robot...
What has been done by you to my poor Lemmy?
It... It was an accident.
- We didn't mean to blow him up. - Kablamo!
He was the only robot I ever was loving.
- We are sorry, ringtail. It's just, we knew what was best for the robot. - Kablamo!
- Ka-blowing his up was the best? - Kablamo!
OK, I said we knew what was best, we just didn't do what was best.
Kablamo.
Your highness, this just isn't healthy. You got to shake this off.
No, Maurice, I will not shake this or even my booty ever again.
Foot-hugging time, yeah!
Look at Mort hugging your feet. Doesn't that make you crazy?
Don't you want to do something, anything?
What is the point whithout my Lemmy?
Skipper, something's not right. I feel terrible.
Same here, young Private.
It's as if there's a dark abyss at the center of your soul and all that is light and good in the world is slipping into it.
This is what it feels like when you have done the wrong thing.
We've never done the wrong thing before. I don't like it!
Me neither. Men, we got to fix this.
Well. Now that the cofee maker's working, let's get started on that robot.
Oh, Lemmy. Of all the good times we had, the ones we didn't have were the best.
Ringtail, you turn that frown upside down. Your robo-buddy is back.
Lemmy?
Is this really you and not some crazy dream that my head is making!
It is you!
Mort, off the royal feet.
That is my Lemmy!
Men, we just made a very spoiled, very obnoxious lemur very happy.
And that's a good thing
Innit?
- And touchdown in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - It's Lemmy's big moment.
The robot has set down on the surface of Mars.
And we'll soon know if that billion-dollar experiment pays off.
It's taking its first steps.
What is he doing, Bob? He's... dancing?
I beleive that's the electric noodle.
Look at him go. He is boogie-riffic.
And that is why you never send a lemur to do a penguin's job.
