Robotina Trust Me I'm a Genie

I was hit by a can, opened it and out popped a genie!

# Three wishes set me free Trust me, I'm a genie

-# Wish one

-And on that first day

-# I've got my very own cafe

-Ta-da!

-# Wish two

-That was cool

-# I've got my own swimming pool

-Hee-hee!

# But then I got a magic can And it filled with sand

# And the words got jammed

-# Wish three

-A total catastrophe

# The genie raved and ranted But no third wish was granted

# If one more wish comes true

# Then I'll be free from you

# Trust me I'm a genie. #

Why aye, who's going surfing with Larry today?

Diego-o-o-o!

Are you familiar with the word "housework"?

Take a look around you, pal.

Well, I suppose a quick flick with a duster wouldn't hurt.

You sure about that?

Seems to me you've let things slide a long way, my friend. A LONG way.

This could take you days.

But on the other hand, you've got a real pro right here

who could solve your problem just like that.

Here you go, then.

Sure, no more household chores,

the washing-up done in the blink of an eye.

And really clean teeth without even having to think about it.

Er, I'm feeling a bit hungry.

Yoo-hoo! We're going to party for ever!

I wish for someone who'll take care of everything for me.

And so it shall be, my friend.

I call upon the powers that be

to grant this wish and set me free!

My name is Robotina. Pleased to meet you, Master Diego.

Is she going to do all my chores, then?

That and more Diego. She's a nanny-bot.

She's programmed to take total care of you.

Robotina golden rule -

-follow all instructions immediately and happily.

-Woo-hoo!

So, anything you want, you just ask her. It's that simple.

Er, Robotina, would you mind mowing the grass for the mini-golf?

I meant to do it last year...

Prop-de-bop. Happy to oblige, Master Diego.

Robotina golden rule -

follow all instructions immediately and happily.

She's keen on her rules, isn't she?

Sure she is. What do you think?

What do I think? She's awesome.

So your third wish is going to be granted?

Ahhh! Why don't we have a drink to celebrate?

Robotina, can we have two nice, cold glasses of lemonade, please?

Pro-po-po-po. Happy to oblige, Master Diego.

A-a-a-a-h!

SMASH!

Don't forget, one job at a time. Speak clearly and politely.

Miss Robotina, it would be very nice

if you could stick everything you've mown up back together again.

Pro-pop. Happy to oblige, Mr Diego.

Huh?!

Robotina golden rule - always do job thoroughly.

She couldn't have understood, right? Probably an overseas model.

Just needs time for her language module to adapt.

Huh? Oh!

Who-o-o-o-a!

Ziggy, help me.

This has to be one of your worst failures ever, Ziggy.

-Your robot's a disaster.

-So she makes mistakes - who doesn't?

All the more reason to be gentle and patient.

The way you are with me.

CRASH!

Oh, yeah? And in the meantime, she's wrecking everything!

No, no, no!

What are you doing, Diego? We're supposed to go surfing.

Robotina golden rule - all rubbish must go in dustbin.

Hey, what is this very uncool thing we have here?

Er, not a good idea to separate Larry from his surfboard, Robotina.

Just as you say, Master Diego.

A-a-a-a-h!

-This has to stop, Ziggy. Now!

-OK, OK, I'll see what I can do.

A little zap to the motherboard should do the trick.

Going into ultimate efficiency nanny-nator mode.

Installing new rules.

New rules installed and ready for application.

Hey, wait for me!

Rule violation - Master Diego must be clean at all times.

-Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

-A little zap on the motherboard, eh?

Yeah, and look at the result.

How many months is it since you last took a bath, huh? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Rule violation - no chatting when you're tired. Take a nap instead.

Ziggy, help me!

Huh?!

Robotina, my dear,

I just wondered if you're not being a tad rigid in your approach to...

Who-o-o-o-a!

# Rock-a-bye Diego on the treetop

# When the bow breaks Diego will drop. #

So, er, have a good nap?

Never mind that. Get me out of here.

What's going on, Diego?

Your robot says we have to wash our hands before eating.

And what's this rule about not swimming after a meal?

SIREN WAILS

The light was orange.

Further rule violation - arguing with Robotina.

Immediate immobilisation of vehicle.

This is unreal, man.

Your nanny's put speed traps on the dunes.

And she's clamped my truck. This is all your fault, Diego.

You've got to do something about it.

ALL: You've got to get rid of her!

-It's Ziggy's fault, so...

-Yeah, but the robot is yours.

No! I've had a humpful of your rules. You're fired! Get out of here!

And never come, never come, ne...

Oh, er, ha-ha.

No, er, what I meant was you're due for a holiday.

It's good to take a break sometimes.

Maximum rule violation - rebellion.

Eradicate all guilty parties immediately!

A-a-a-a-a-a-a-h!

BANG! BANG!

Let me guess - you don't have a plan to get us out of this.

Ziggy, what do we do?

Find her weakness and use it to defeat her.

Keep up, Diego. Everybody knows that.

But we don't know anything about her.

All we know is that she's crazy about rules.

Ah! Follow me.

SIREN WAILS

Surfing without a helmet or knee protectors.

Exceeding the authorised speed limit. Refusing to stop.

You're disqualified from surfing and going straight to prison.

Photographed at ten times over your own limit.

Straight through three red traffic lights.

You call that "respecting the rules"?

And that's before we even do an oil test.

Yes, you've broken your own rules, Robotina.

Broken the rules? Broken the rules? Impossible.

Perfect robot. Not working.

Self-destruct immediately.

Take cover, everyone!

WHIRR! WHIRR!

A-a-a-ah!

-Wow!

-I've learned my lesson, Ziggy.

From now on, it's chores before playtime.

Respect, friend.

Well, my golden rule is - if a thing's worth doing,

it's worth doing well.

CRASH!

But it doesn't have to be perfect.
