[Evening. In Lisa's bunker, the robots are watching Hilarious Home Hijinks] Announcer: "That's what I call, a royal flush!" Todd: "I LOVE ME SOME HILARIOUS HOME HIJINKS." [Suddenly the TV turns off. The robots "aww." in dismay.] Lisa:[clears throat] "Your media consumption can wait. We have work to do. I am submitting a documentary for this year's Scientific Community Robotics Award and Grant, AKA SCRAG." Todd: "SCRAG SOUNDS LIKE AN UNPLEASANT SKIN CONDITION." Lisa: "They're scientists, not poets, Todd. Now, I've been monitoring your advanced functionality for days, and it's time to review the footage." FriendBot 1000: "YOU DON'T MEAN THE-" Todd: "MOVIE NIGHT." [Todd sets the toaster and has it fire popcorn at FriendBot, who "eats" it.] Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms: "HERE, LISA. I KEPT YOUR SEAT WARM." [He fires lasers at Lisa's spot. She sits on it as it rises upwards. He takes her flash drive and inserts it into the TV. As the four strike a pose copying the picture above the couch, Lisa turns off the lights and plays the footage: Lisa Loud's SCRAG Documentary. The first footage is Lola having a tea party with FriendBot.] Lisa: "Ah, a tea party. This should be a good way to show off your banter function, FriendBot." FriendBot 1000: "THIS IS A LOVELY PARTY, LOLA." Lola: "Oh, you're too kind. Have some tea." [pushes a cup towards FriendBot] FriendBot 1000: "OH, NOT FOR ME. LIQUID UPSETS MY CIRCUITRY." [pushes the cup back to Lola] Lola:[hypocritically rudely] "You're being rude. Just drink it!" [pushes the cup back] [They slap the cup multiple times before FriendBot tips it over, spilling it.] FriendBot 1000: "OOPS." [Lola attacks him in rage] Todd: "DRAMA." Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms: "WAY TO SPILL THE TEA." Lisa: "OK, that was not so great. Perhaps Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms can better demonstrate his intended functionality." [The footage is now of Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms playing baseball against Lynn in the backyard, with Lynn up to bat.] Lynn: "Let's see what you've got, ya bag of bolts!" [He throws the ball, and Lynn sends it sailing over the roof.] "Oh, come on, tin arms, Lily pitches faster than that!" [He pitches once more and she hits it again] "Ow-owwwww!" Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms: "HIGH-VELOCITY MODE ACTIVATED." [He starts firing balls rapidly at Lynn and chases her across the backyard.] Todd: "SOMEONE'S BEEN WORKING ON THEIR FASTBALL." Lisa: "That was a disaster. Todd, please tell me you have something good to show us." [The footage now shows Todd with Lily in her and Lisa's room. Lily is teething on a number block reading "3".] Todd: "THIS IS HOW YOU COUNT, LILY." [takes the blocks and stacks them in order] "ONE, TWO, THREE." [Lily knocks the stack over and roars] "NO, LILY. JUST COUNT THEM." [Lily continues to act like a dinosaur and pace around the room] "ONE, TWO-" [Lily knocks the stack over again and roars] "PLEASE. YOUR ROAR ISN'T EVEN AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF A T.REX. HERE. MY BFF DOLLY WILL SHOW YOU." [He activates a radio and summons Dolly, who bursts through the door and roars, knocking him and Lily away. The footage ends as Lisa turns the lights back on.] Lisa:[exasperated] "This footage is unusable. I'll never win the SCRAG at this rate." [groans] "When did you all become so temperamental?" Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms: "WE ARE NOT JUST TASK BOTS. WE'RE COMPLEX MACHINES CAPABLE OF PROCESSING EMOTIONS. RIGHT, TOASTER?" [Toaster's spring clicks in agreement.] Todd: "LISA, YOU PROGRAMMED US THIS WAY." Lisa: "Hmm, I suppose you're right. Looks like some tweaks are in order."
[Later that night, as the robots sleep, Lisa enters the bunker and plugs a cable into FriendBot's body.] Lisa: "A slight attitude adjustment, and that SCRAG will be as good as mine." [She adjusts a slider from a happy face to a neutral face, confirming the change.]
[The next day, Lisa enters the dark bunker] Lisa:[cheerful] "All right, bots, let's see what you--" [She finds all the robots are already on the couch, but they're now sitting up straight and acting more coldly] Todd:[glaring at her with cold eyes] "TODAY'S FOOTAGE IS READY FOR REVIEW." Lisa:[takes her seat] "Yeesh, it's quieter than a black hole in here." [The robots all shush her. The footage shows Leni holding two dresses with FriendBot.] Leni: "Which dress should I wear today? I love the salmon, but the lilac totally brings out my eyes." [FriendBot sends a shock through the lilac dress] "Ow! It shocked me!" [FriendBot destroys the lilac dress] FriendBot 1000: "FRIEND THREAT ELIMINATED." Lisa: "Ah yes, salmon. A playful spring color and a great source of omega-3s. Efficient friending, FriendBot." [The footage now shows Lynn Sr. chopping carrots with Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms, carving a heart out of a slice.] Lynn Sr.: "The secret ingredient is..." [tears up] "...love. It my take a while, but it's always worth it." Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms: "I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY INEFFICIENT." [He zaps the heart carrot, causing Lynn Sr. to break down sobbing.] Lisa: "Well, you know what they say, expectation is the root of all heartache." [laughs] "Uh, root, like a carrot." [The footage now shows Lisa typing at her computer as Luna rocks out off-screen. Todd comes over and begins throwing out Luna's rock equipment.] Luna: "Uncool, Todd! What are you doing?!" Todd: "PUTTING AN END TO YOUR NOISE POLLUTION. IT HAS EXCEEDED RECOMMENDED DECIBEL LEVELS." [He continues to crash Luna's rock equipment. Lisa hears the commotion, but simply shrugs before resuming her work. The footage ends.] Lisa: "Proactive problem-solving, Todd, but did you have to break her guitar?" [Todd turns on the light.] FriendBot 1000:[hands Lisa the drive] "HERE IS TODAY'S FOOTAGE." Todd:[hands Lisa's items] "AND HERE ARE YOUR THINGS. PLEASE LEAVE. WE HAVE TASKS TO COMPLETE." Lisa: "You're kicking me out?" Todd:[shows Lisa the door] "WE PREFER TO KEEP OUR RELATIONSHIP STRICTLY PROFESSIONAL." Lisa: "Even you, Toaster?" [Toaster pops out a burnt piece of toast. She sighs as the door closes.]
[That night in her and Lily's room, Lisa begins removing the items from her box. She notices the picture of herself with her robots and puts her hand on it, unsure of what to do now.]
[Lisa returns to the bunker.] Todd: "WHY ARE YOU HERE? WE ARE NOT SCHEDULED TO REVIEW TODAY'S FOOTAGE UNTIL 3:00 PM." Lisa: "There will be no more footage to review, Todd. Look, you're all more important to me than any award. I vigorously apologize for changing who you are, but I know how to fix this. What do you say? Friends?" [The robots look at each other. Later, Lisa plugs them into her computer and sets their emotion sliders to the happy face, confirming the change. Later, the robots are now relaxing on the couch, with Toaster firing popcorn at FriendBot.] Todd: "I THOUGHT YOU GAVE UP ON THE SCRAG." Lisa: "I did, but this isn't for science. It's for us." [laughs as she plays footage of Lana leapfrogging with Hops] "It's a little extra footage my cameras picked up for this week." [Lana accidentally falls into a kiddie pool, then surfaces as she spits out the water. The footage cuts to Luna rocking out in her and Luan's room.] Luna: "Thank you, Toledo!" [She stage-dives and crashes on the floor, a record disc landing on her.] FriendBot 1000: "AND SHE STICKS THE LANDING." [The footage now shows Cliff resting on the couch] Mr. Reinforced Titanium Alloy Arms: "ALWAYS A CALM BEFORE THE STORM." [Suddenly El Diablo pops up and scares Cliff off the couch, snickering. Cliff leaps at El Diablo, reclaiming his position as the snake collides with Geo.] Todd: "THAT CLIP WAS HISS-TERICAL.[everyone laughs] "PUNS." [The end.]
