Huh? (METAL WHIZZES, CLANKS)

Whoa! (EXCLAIMS)

- Oh, wow! Oh! (LAUGHS IN DISBELIEF) Amazing! You're... super sticky!

You're Sticky-Bot.

- Incorrect.

I am an electromagnet.

- Well, it'd be a lot cooler if you were sticky.

- Rej and Rub...

- # They're tiny little bots a long way from home.

they're or are?

- Rej and Rub...

- # They're tiny little bots a long way from home.

# They miss their daddy; makes them cry.

- # I bet they wish that they could fly.

- # They're tiny little bots a long way from home.

- # They're tiny little bots a long way from home. #

(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)

How sticky do you think you are?

- I am not too sticky at all.

I am magnetic.

- Right, magnetic ― so sticky. You reckon I'm sticky too? It's really annoying to hold on.

- Apply concentration to your behind, young one.

Think like a magnet.

- Sticky!

I am sticky!

- Magnetic.

Not sticky.

- So... sticky.

And... nothing's happening.

- Think magnetic.

Not sticky. - STRAINS: Mmmmmm!

Got any spare stickiness for me, man?

- (SIGHS)

(EXCLAIMS)

- It's not workiiing― (EXCLAIMS)

(BOTH EXCLAIM)

Cheers, Rej, you don't suck.

- Thank you.

I am magnetic.

- Yeah, you said that.

- Rub, I also had a flashback.

I saw the doctor and the professor you speak of at the Southern Institute of Technology.

They told me we have...

abilities.

- Awesome! I wonder what I have.

Maybe I can read minds.

Hey, are you thinking about whether or not I can read minds?

- Yes, but―

- Awesome! I can read minds!

- Great. Um, put that in the memory bank.

- # It's the morning show with Manaia.

# Manaia on the radio.

- Kia ora, kia ora. You're back with Midday Manaia,

sdfsd

and all you haters who said I was making up those little intelligent robots are about to eat you

We have another eyewitness sighting. Hello? You saw the little bots?

- Yeah! Hey, Manaia! Oh, love the show.

I love it! I love you, man. Love the show, yeah?

- OK, OK. So you saw the bots?

- I totally saw the robots. I saw the robots for real!

- Brilliant. Where did you say them? - I don't know.

- You don't know? - Yeah, dunno.

- Then how did you see them? - Well, I had my eyes closed, you see?

- OK, OK, next caller. - No, no, no, no! I heard them, Manaia.

Ifullyheard them! No doubt at all! - Well, where did you hear them then?

- Oh, I don't know. In a somewhere?

I was having a sleep, and I hear this truck go by,

and I hear this little robotic 'whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.'

- You hear a robotic 'whoop, whoop, whoop'?

- Yeah! A real robotic 'whoop, whoop, whoop'!

- And you didn't open your eyes to look? - Nah, Manaia.

I needed a snooze on the way home. Don't snooze and cruise, you know, bro?

But it wasdefinitely a robot on a ute.

- Really? - Well, to be fair, it could have been anything.

- OK, you seem busy. You seem busy. I'm going to let you go.

- Hey! Manaia! Manaia! I'm a big fan.

- Special abilities, eh? Ah, hmm...

I wonder what special abilities I've got. Mmmm...

Heh, I wonder.

Maybe I have the ability to scream?

SCREAMS: Ahhhhh! - Please stop screaming.

- Fine.

Hey! Well, maybe I can go super large?

- Seems unlikely.

- Or super small? Hmm?

- You are already very small.

- Ah, (CHUCKLES) yeah, I am, aren't I?

Awesome. Tick that one off the powers list.

Small ability.

- Impressive.

- Hey, so how did you get sticky again?

- I became magnetic by shutting up and concentrating.

- Ah, righto, I'll give that a try.

Shutting up now and concentrating so I can find more powers.

What will they be?

(SUSPENSEFUL, TENSE MUSIC)

OK, this is weird.

OK... Um...

Special abilities.

I am gonna blow your mind with my super special ability.

STRAINS: Concentrating!

I need these abilities!

Rej, hold on.

Special abilities, here we come!

Whoo-hoo!

- Ahhh?!

- Hey! I can control water!

I can summon water!

I am a powerful aqua-bot!

(CAR WASH WHIRRS)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

- Please stop summoning water!

(CAR WASH WHIRRS)

- Uh...

Yeah, uh... this is not my water.

It's not my water!

Go super sticky, Rej!

(CAR WASH WHIRRS)

Don't let me go! It's not my water!

Not my power!

- Rub! No!

(INTENSE, SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- (HUMS, GLITCHES)

- Remember, little ones, you are two, not one.

You are a pair.

- What does that even mean?

- GLITCHES: It means― means― means― means― means― means―

I designed them to work together

We can't fit all this technology into one little robot,

so one robot has some abilities and the other has some others.

They are a team; a unit.

- So they have to be a pair?

- Yes. - Well, that's not what we agreed on.

No one wants to buy half a product.

- Buy product?

I would never sell these two!

They are special. They are incredible.

When they get out into the world, they will change the world.

They will work together as a unit.

They are a pair, a unit ― two, not one.

Two! Not one.

- (GLITCHES, HUMS)

Rej?! Rej, where are you?!

- I'm coming, Rub. I'm still on the car!

- Rej! We are a pair!

We are made to be best buddies! Special best friends forever! We are special!

- Friends?!

(TENSE MUSIC)

- Ha! - FRIGHTENED: Ahhh!

- Action imminent!

(TENSE MUSIC)

- (PANTS)

- Hurry, Rej!

- (PANTS)

- Hurry, Rej!

- Wow.

Awesome.

- I'm coming, Rub. I'm just behind you.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- You're trash. You're coming with me.
