The Robot: Boogie Machine of Doom

Part I

SHERRY: Alright well

DUDE: Straight up.

SHERRY: Thank you for that...

Cut to CHRIS looking at the TV in disbelief. SHERRY is mumbling the ABCs but you can't really hear it cause it's in the background.

CHRIS: That guy's crazy, no way that's real.

CHRIS turns off the TV and gets into his car. He pulls out his phone.

CHRIS: Erika, huh. 1253 8th avenue. "Computer keeps crashing, don't know how to fix it." Alright, easy enough. Just a computer, right?

He pulls up to ERIKA's house, checks the address to make sure it's right.

CHRIS: This looks like the right address. I'm probably at the right house.

CHRIS is at the right house. He walks up to the door and knocks. ERIKA opens the door, and CHRIS's jaw drops. Romantic music starts playing. The whole shebang.

ERIKA: Can I help you?

CHRIS: Yes hi I'm Chris the IT guy from the IT company. My name's Chris.

ERIKA: Oh! Come on in.

CHRIS: Thank you.

ERIKA leads CHRIS inside.

ERIKA: Here's the computer, Chris!

CHRIS: Can you please explain the problem situation for me please?

ERIKA: Sure, Chris. So basically, the computer will always crash and it won't work and it's a bad computer. I can barely use it! It keeps crashing every time I use it. It really sucks!

CHRIS: Mhm. Gotcha. [Points to computer] This is the computer?

ERIKA: That's the one. Stupid computer keeps crashing!

Chris starts eyeballing the computer. He runs his fingers around it, blows on it, and licks his finger. He stands for a second, ponders, nods, and goes back to feeling around the computer. He looks at it for a while and starts poking at it with a screwdriver he got from his pocket.

CHRIS: So what's your favorite color?

ERIKA: Sorry, what was that?

CHRIS: Your favorite color! What is it?

ERIKA: Oh I don't think I have one. I guess if I had to choose one maybe yellow?

CHRIS: That's fantastic. I like green. It's a good color. It's my favorite color. My favorite color is green!

ERIKA: That's nice. I've heard good things about that color. So do you notice anything about the computer that's fixable?

CHRIS: What kinds of movies do you like?

ERIKA: What?

CHRIS: Movies! Do you like 'em?

ERIKA: Yes? I do.

CHRIS: That's awesome. Me too. I think my favorite types of movies are probably horror movies and romances. Do you like romantic things? Speaking of which, where's your boyfriend?

ERIKA: Oh I, uh, I don't have one.

CHRIS: A girl like you, single? Wow, crazy world.

ERIKA: haha, funny.

CHRIS: People do tell me I'm funny.

ERIKA: Yeah?

CHRIS: Yeah! I have lots of friends.

ERIKA: That's good.
