W-What is this?
- Where's my stuff? - I put it away?
I can't find anything like this! I knew where everything was!
Jeez. Put everything back!
She's sleeping again. It really creeps me out.
What are you doing? I can't see! Close the hood!
I found what I was looking for! It'll help Bessie. I can supercharge her!
Forget that! I said I can't see!
Shit, brakes are out. What'd you do?
I can't connect this if the fuel's not flowing.
Shut the hood! I can't see!
Shit!
Done!
Idiot! Watch out!
Philly?
You stupid? Something's really wrong with you!
- I can fix her! - Stop!
Sam!
Sam?
Sam! Sam!
Hey, Sam! Sam! Sam! Sam!
Wake up, Sam!
We're three days from Gara's Keep and you pull this?
Sam... Sam...
Wake up, Sam...
Max-level Blitzraiders!
I'm building an airship so I can fly with you!
Hey, who are you? Um...
Identify yourself.
Don't worry. I'll have you running in no time!
I can fix anything!
Sam!
Huh? Are we there already? What did I miss?
She tried to kill us.
Shit, you cleaned up but kept all this junk? Where's my stuff?
From now on nothing goes in Bessie unless it's useful! Toss it all!
I almost wanna toss you, short-scrap!
Philly! How could you say that?
I would give him a nasty look, but I see he's already got one.
We're truly nearing Gara's Keep? It's all the same, aside from the clouds.
We'll lose half a day to that storm. Best stop in Zenith and let it pass.
Getting stuck in mud sucks.
Thanks for caring, Philly. You're a great friend.
If you're my friend, talk like one.
I do.
You know, real pals don't compliment each other.
They don't?
- They rib and insult each other. - That's awful!
That's what's fun. Tell me I got a big head and bad teeth.
No, your head's very well-shaped, and your teeth seem to chew food well.
You're not getting it. Say something bad about me.
This isn't hard. Say, "Philly, you're as dumb as a chicken."
Philly, you're as dumb as a chicken.
- That was good? - Yeah, just like that!
Philly, you're as dumb as a chicken, and you stink. Everyone says so.
- Oh, sorry! - That was a test. Don't apologize!
You tease and laugh. That's what friends do.
Hey, what's that?
That's Shavon.
It floats in the air!
And Zenith is below it.
Zenith?
Yep. Shavon's trash heap.
Botica could've built a floating city centuries ago.
But that would put some above others. Botica puts people before pomp.
You really believe that? Or is that programming?
- Botica is very advanced. - Have you seen Shavon?
The people there dress like they're going to a ball every day.
Gadgets on their ears get whatever they want. They don't lift a finger.
Everything they don't want they toss to the Zenith riffraff.
If riffraff live below, why were you up there?
To scout.
And then...
Treating people like trash...
Quit laughing!
Zenith, the outhouse of Shavon. I hate this place.
Since it's filthy and dangerous, just like you?
Much better.
Don't even think about it! Remember your promise about scrap.
But... But...
- No buts! - Why?
- No whys! - Hey there, baby.
"Baby" is a little off the mark. My name is Sam.
Sam? I like that. I'm JT. Mind spending some time with me?
Would you like to be friends?
I would!
Where do you take friends for fun?
In the past, the forest outside Botica.
Forest? Don't mind an audience, huh?
You're with that guy?
Yes, he's loud and chews food like a camel.
All right then. Why don't I show you around town?
We're friends now, right?
We are!
I'll get a room for me and Sam. You stay out in the rain for all I care.
She's gone again!
Stay here! I don't wanna look for you too.
I swear. Where'd that useless bot get to?
Fine.
I won't go anywhere.
No way!
I'll fix you!
Hold on. I'll fix you in no time.
Hello. I'm Casey. Who are you?
You appear to be in perfect functioning order.
Of course I am!
What are you doing here?
I'm fixing her.
All scrap is property of Shavon. You can take out as much as you bring.
Once I jump-start her, she can take herself out.
Are you laughing?
We're obsolete. Why would anyone fix one of us?
We're not obsolete. We can be upgraded.
What's your name?
One three three seven.
I'll call you Leet. We're special. You're the third I've ever met.
Really? I've seen thousands.
Thousands?
There are thousands here. As I said, we're obsolete.
So how do you usually operate? One friend at a time?
In the past, since he was a special friend.
But now I prefer many friends.
Many? At once?
Of course! Many at once. It's what I was built for.
I bet you were.
We can fix them!
Look! Her wires got overloaded.
The feedback probably just knocked out her battery. She's not worn out.
I never said worn out. They've become dull.
Most were dropped off by their owners. Many walked in.
They walked in... and you turned them off?
No, Casey.
They did it themselves?
We're made to be of use to humans.
When that's over, we robots can do one last thing.
Become raw material for newer models. Ones much better than us.
One day, this will be me. Sadly, it's you today.
I-I'm not obsolete! I still have value!
Now now. Your owners abandoned you here.
I don't have an owner. I'm here with friends.
You were left here where you may rust in the rain? Those are friends?
Hey, baby. Hey, hunk. Want some company?
I'm looking for a friendship robot. About my height, blonde, demure.
- Didn't think that was your type. - I'll be your friend.
That's not it. I'm looking for someone specific.
Her name's Sam.
Might've seen her with a regular just now.
Didn't recognize her. That her? We don't like freelancers here.
No, she's not that kinda bot.
What? Who's she with?
Come on, little lady. Put this on.
Thank you. It's a very nice gift.
Too bad your clothes are dirty. Plus you're comically fat.
What'd you say?
- I said... - Now hold on.
Say it real slow so I can hear it. One more time.
But we are friends! I know it!
What's the last thing they said to you?
"I swear. Where'd that useless bot get to?"
That's how Philly talks to everyone.
I see. What else has he said?
I almost wanna toss you, short-scrap!
It wasn't nice.
But Sam's my friend! I saved her, and Sam's a... very advanced model.
Ah, you've met your replacement.
Huh? It's not moving.
How strange...
Don't force it. Let me see. Here's your problem.
Something's in the mechanism most times. Yep, it's full of small parts.
There you go!
It's like I'm outdated too.
My job is to consign scrap to the compactor for recycling.
I can't even do that...
Cheer up. You're great!
I don't have a job anymore.
I can't even fix a car without causing an accident.
How?
I wouldn't know how to function if I couldn't be useful.
I'd have one path.
What will you do?
Jeez.
I need her to get at Botica. This is a lousy time to get revenge.
You haven't brushed your hair since you slept with a dog.
In fact, I can't tell if that's your hair or the dog's!
"Or the dog's!"
Look. It's a walking latrine!
- He really stinks! - Throw him back!
No.
This latrine owes me money.
Who the hell are you?
You suck at bluffing, so you suck at cards.
Now I'm going to get that jackpot you owe me, one way or another.
- Hold up, shithead! - Shut it, dog breath!
Bye, friends! I'd tell you to write, but I doubt any of you can read!
I hope Casey's waiting with Bessie in gear!
Are you ready for your journey?
Would you give me to my friends afterwards?
They're free to take as much as they brought.
Tell them sorry I couldn't fix it all.
And that every day with them made me feel brand new.
I want to help them one last time.
Casey? Casey!
What are you doing? Let's go!
No, we can't leave her out of the fun!
Casey!
Casey! Casey! Casey!
Casey! Casey!
Casey, it's Sam!
Excuse me. Have you seen Casey? She's my friend!
Yes, she just deactivated herself.
This isn't Casey.
No, I think it is. And if not, our model is very uniform...
Casey!
Sam?
Casey!
How did you find me?
Well...
...there's just one Casey in the world.
What is it?
Just a little startup glitch.
Why would you shut down?
I wanted to be useful again.
What are you saying? You're more than useful.
You're my precious friend. So precious I can't think of an insult.
You've made enough friends. Let's go before they get here.
Come on. Let's go, Casey.
Yeah!
Philly, you're a heartless husk of a human. I feel more soul in scrap.
Hey, dial down the insults a little.
If that would make you happy.
Look. The storm's passing.
