Cady, this is getting ridiculous. I'm supposed to be at work already. You're gonna have fun once you get into it. I'm not going. Not without m3gan. Okay, a, that is never gonna happen and b, the launch is in less than a week. I have to take her to work with me. We have to run diagnostics. I have to do a wardrobe fitting. I thought you said she was mine alone. Hey! Do we have some new adventurers with us today? Yes, this is cady. And who's this? Your sister?
M3GAN
Sorry. Is that a doll? Her name's m3gan. She wants to know if she can come with us. No, she doesn't. M3gan's gonna stay with me today. Cady... Well, we do have a toy table where the kids leave their dolls and things like that. Um, but that is up to you. She's actually a working prototype, so I shouldn't even have her out in public. Well, if you did want to stay and keep an eye on her, we could use some help making sandwiches! Don't worry, Gemma. You have equipped me with advanced dual-frequency GPS. So I won't get lost.

But he's actually quite a sensitive little soul. Brandon, honey! Are you warm enough? Do you need your hat? Fuck off, Holly.

Please, I Don't wanna go with Brandon. Okay. No, no. That's okay. That's okay. Um, Brandon, why Don't you go with cady? Okay? Felix, you can go with Oliver. All right? Thanks, buddy. All right.
