Text transcript
[[A blue jay is surprised.]] Jay: ! Dr Quickly: AHH MY EYE MY EYE!! <<pluck!>> Rabish: Haven't you always wanted to be a cyborg? Dr Quickly: AFFIRMATIVE IT IS NICE TO HAVE AN EXCUSE Rabot: As an actual robot I find your technominstrelry offensive. Dr Quickly: What sort of things will I be doing in this mandated "robot sensitivity workshop"? Noel: Mostly you will be... ELECTROCUTED to evaluate your SENSITIVITY to ROBOT ISSUES. <<zzzz>> [[Dr Quickly offers an APOLOGY CAKE.]] Dr Quickly: I apologize. I had no idea! It is very difficult to spend all the day with powerful voltages coursing through oneself. Rabot: I find similarly in my study of living things that constant oxidation is pretty rough for a robot to handle. [[At an OPEN MIC SCIENCE PRESENTATION: "An Inconvenient Truth by Rabot and Dr Quickly".]] Dr Quickly: It is my firm and scientific belief that the increase in animal pneuma and robot phlogistonic electricity will directly cause a GLOBAL RISE in CALORIC ABSORPTION and thus the ruination of our environment! Rabot: My belief too!
