What in the name of ever-loving Christ is this? David, if you just give me a minute to explain... Is this why you moved your lab, Gemma? So you can keep secrets from me? No, no, no. We talked about this, David. We talked about you putting it on ice until you had a new petz model. How much did you spend on this?

Are we supposed to be worried about that? It's a rip-off. You're right, Gemma. It is a rip-off. They do the exact same thing we do. And you know what else? They do it for half the price. I told you we needed to go simpler. Didn't I tell her? Six months ago, I begged you... I begged you to please give me an option I can put on a shelf for 50 bucks. - And we are working on it. I promise. - Yeah. But, David, the only way to stay ahead of the competition is to come up with toys that are too advanced to replicate. I know the tech on petz seems more complex than it needs to be, but that's only because I was using it as a launchpad for something bigger. In each pet, we installed a listening model that targets conversational patterns among kids. You did not just tell me that. I know she doesn't look like much now, but I promise, if you just let us show you what m3gan is capable of, you will realize that this is what we've been working towards. M3gan?

Allow me to tell you a little bit about my wormhole. I was born in a sandwich hat, and I wolf many cabbages. Uh... This isn't supposed to happen, obviously. Just give me one moment. Sorry about the noise. - Gem? - One second, Cole. It's probably just a race condition. It'll take me a minute to fix. Gem, it's not a race condition. I might have forgotten to put in the polypropylene barrier. Oh, no. - God. - Tess, turn it off! I can't.

Could you please keep your dog on your side of the fence? I just spent 80 bucks on a shock collar. Maybe try cranking it up a notch. Oh, who's this little lady? That is my niece, cady. Is she staying for the weekend? You know what? It's been a really long drive, and, um, I would just really appreciate it if you did not have your dog running onto my yard all the time. And also, Don't spray your chemicals onto my driveway, please. Ah, shit. I'm sorry. You wanna borrow this once I'm done? No, I Don't wanna borrow it. I Don't wanna spend my afternoon getting your sediment off of my driveway. Just hang a tarp or something. Okay.
