COME ON,
LET'S PICK IT UP!
ALL RIGHT, MORE INTENSITY!
ATTACK THE HOOP,
LET'S GO!
GOOD JOB!
OKAY, MATT AND JOSH.
HOW ABOUT YOU ONE-UP
YOUR BROTHER, FOR A CHANGE?
YOU CAN DO IT, JOSH.
STOP TRYING TO PSYCH ME OUT.
THAT WAS ENCOURAGEMENT,
ACTUALLY.
[GRUNTS]
YOU CALL THAT
ENCOURAGEMENT?
MY APOLOGIES.
IT COULD HAVE
BEEN WORSE.
THE GIRLS' TEAM
COULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING.
YEAH, THEY
TOTALLY WANT ME.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT YOU,
YOUR COMPLETE
MISREADING OF REALITY.
YUP.
TODAY IS THE 27TH,
IS IT NOT?
UM, YEAH?
THE ANSWER IS "YES,"
WHICH MEANS
THE TWO OF YOU
RECEIVED YOUR
REPORT CARDS TODAY.
[CLEARS THROAT EXPECTANTLY]
STRAIGHT B'S.
DON'T FORGET THE B+.
I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, JOSH.
AGAIN.
IS THERE A PROBLEM?
MATTHEW RECEIVED AN A-
IN HISTORY.
I'M SORRY, MOM.
I...
I DON'T HAVE AN EXPLANATION.
IT JUST HAPPENED--
THINGS DON'T "JUST HAPPEN."
THERE'S ALWAYS A CAUSE
AND EFFECT.
WAIT, HE GOT ALL A'S.
NO, SON,
HE RECEIVED 6 A'S AND ONE A-.
THAT'S STILL
REALLY GREAT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD
HE WORKS ON HOMEWORK?
IT'S SICK, REALLY.
WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT
OF WORKING HARD,
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD
TRY IT YOURSELF
ONE OF THESE DAYS,
JOSHUA.
W-WELL, I...
I'M SORRY.
I, UH,
PROMISE
I'LL WORK HARDER.
I'VE LOST MY APPETITE.
DO THE DISHES, JOSH.
DEMONSTRATE
YOU UNDERSTAND
HOW TO DO WHAT'S ASKED OF YOU,
FOR ONCE.
YOUR MOTHER'S JUST
TRYING TO BE HELPFUL, SON.
SHE DOESN'T
HANDLE FAILURE
VERY WELL.
[PAGES TURNING, RAPID TYPING]
MOM AND DAD CAN
REALLY SUCK SOMETIMES.
THEY'RE JUST DOING
WHAT PARENTS DO.
[SCOFFS]
YOU'RE TOO EASY ON 'EM,
ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'RE
SO RIDICULOUSLY HARD ON YOU.
I'M TIRED.
OKAY, FINE,
IF YOU DON'T CARE
HOW MEAN THEY ARE TO YOU,
THEN I WON'T CARE EITHER.
[GROANS IN PAIN]
[CHUCKLES]
THAT WAS WEIRD.
YEAH, IT'S CALLED WALKING.
VERY FUNNY.
[WINCING]
DUDE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M--
I-I'M...
[STAMMERING]
I'M FINE.
[STAMMERS MOCKINGLY]
A-A-ARE YOU SURE?
YES.
MAYBE MOM AND DAD'S STRICTNESS
FINALLY GOT TO YOU.
I KNOW
YOU GET UPSET
WHEN THEY COME DOWN--
D-D...
DOWN ON ME,
BUT DON'T BE.
DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD
WHEN YOU FELL?
I'M JUST REALLY TIRED.
OKAY, MR. SENSITIVE.
I'LL TAKE A HINT AND SHUT UP.
[GASPS]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
HEY...
EARTH TO MATT.
STOP STARING,
GO TO SLEEP.
HEY...
I THOUGHT
I WAS THE STRANGE ONE.
THEY'RE ALWAYS
SO FOCUSED ON MATT,
I FEEL LIKE
I DON'T EVEN EXIST.
HE'S THE FAVORITE.
THAT'S THE THING, MAN.
PARENTS ALWAYS SAY
THEY DON'T HAVE A FAVORITE,
BUT THAT BUNK
IS SO NOT TRUE.
BE GRATEFUL.
YOU'RE ALWAYS TELLING ME
HOW HARD THEY ARE ON HIM.
IMAGINE IF YOU
WERE THE FAVORITE?
HMM?
YO, MATT!
OVER HERE.
HEY, GET THE NURSE!
ARE WE GOING
TO THE DOCTOR'S?
NO, I'M TAKING
YOUR BROTHER HOME.
HE NEEDS TO REST.
BUT THE NURSE
AT SCHOOL SAID--
I'M HANDLING THIS,
JOSHUA.
SIT BACK.
WELL, YOU'RE NOT
HANDLING THIS.
HE'S NOT DOING WELL.
YOU'RE JUST
TAKING HIM HOME.
HE NEEDS TO GO
TO A DOCTOR--
I SAID, SIT BACK!
[SIGHS]
[MOM, LATER]: IT'S REALLY
BECOMING INTOLERABLE.
WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD
GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE TIME.
THE EXPERIMENT
HAS FAILED.
IT'S TIME TO
ABANDON THE PROJECT.
[DIALING TELEPHONE]
PASSCODE,
"INDIA, MARY, THREE...
[WHISPERING]:
WHAT'S HE SAYING?
I CAN'T HEAR HIM.
WHAT DID MOM MEAN,
"THE EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED?"
WHAT EXPERIMENT?
MATT!
COME DOWN HERE,
PLEASE.
ARE WE GOING
TO THE DOCTOR'S NOW?
I'M TAKING MATT
TO THE HOSPITAL.
GOOD.
I'M COMING WITH YOU.
YOU'RE STAYING
HERE, JOSH.
BUT I WANT TO GO
WITH MATT.
DAD, CAN I COME?
I'M SORRY, SON.
LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.
[DIALING TELEPHONE]
[BEEP]
ENTER USER NAME
AND PASSWORD.
HELLO?
IS THIS HOLY GRACE HOSPITAL?
INVALID RESPONSE.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
DETECTED.
TERMINATING CONNECTION.
[DISCONNECTION BUZZES]
[BEEPS TELEPHONE OFF]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IS MATT OKAY?
HE WON'T FIT THESE
WHEN HE GETS BACK.
WHERE DID DAD TAKE HIM?
[SNATCHES PANTS]
THIS ISN'T YOUR CONCERN.
HE'S MY BROTHER!
IF HE'S PART OF SOME EXPERIMENT,
I DESERVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
COME HERE.
WHAT'S DONE IS ALREADY DONE.
[DOORKNOB RATTLING]
TELL ME WHERE HE IS!
TELL ME WHERE
YOU TOOK HIM!
[TYPING]
HEY, MAN,
THE FRONT DOOR
WAS OPEN.
WHY'D YOU LEAVE
SCHOOL EARLY?
THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH MATT.
YOU KNOW HE'S
GONNA KILL YOU
WHEN HE FINDS OUT YOU'RE
USING HIS COMPUTER--
I'M SERIOUS.
HE'S SICK.
MOM WOULDN'T TAKE HIM
TO THE DOCTOR,
AND THEN I OVERHEARD
HER AND DAD ARGUING
ABOUT HOW THE EXPERIMENT
HAD FAILED.
WHAT EXPERIMENT?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IT INVOLVES MATT SOMEHOW.
NOW THEY'VE TAKEN HIM.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE?
WHEN I GOOGLED
THE NUMBER THEY CALLED,
THIS IS ALL I GOT.
THERE'S NO NAME,
JUST AN ADDRESS.
YEAH, IT'S WEIRD, RIGHT?
WHY WOULDN'T A HOSPITAL
BE LABELED A HOSPITAL?
MAYBE IT'S A MISTAKE.
WHEN YOUR MOM
AND DAD GET HOME,
YOU CAN ASK THEM--
NO, SOMETHING'S WRONG
WITH MY BROTHER.
I'VE GOTTA FIND HIM.
YOU DON'T REALLY THINK
YOUR PARENTS
WOULD TRY TO HURT
THEIR OWN KID, DO YOU?
I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IF SOMETHING BAD
HAPPENED TO ME,
I'M SURE MATT WOULD
MAKE SURE I WAS OKAY.
WILL YOU HELP ME?
WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THEM
TO COME BACK--
I'M NOT WAITING!
I'LL GO ON MY OWN.
YOU COULD GET
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.

[DOOR SLAMS]
SIGN HERE
AND INITIAL HERE,
INDICATING YOU'VE RELINQUISHED
ALL PARENTAL RIGHTS
CONCERNING THE BOY.
[MUFFLED GASPING]
[GROANS SOFTLY]
YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE.
YOU HAVE TO GO.
NO, YOU'RE IN SHOCK.
THEY HURT YOU.
THEY'LL HURT YOU ,
IF THEY KNOW THAT YOU FOUND OUT
ABOUT THIS PLACE.
MOM SAID
"THE EXPERIMENT FAILED",
BUT WHAT KIND OF EXPERIMENT
IS THIS?
THIS MIGHT BE
OUR LAST CHANCE TO TALK,
SO I NEED YOU TO LISTEN TO ME--
I'M GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE.
NO, I CAN'T GO HOME,
NOT UNTIL I'M PERFECT.
MOM AND DAD,
THEY-THEY-THEY
ONLY WANT PERFECTION.
I HATE THEM.
THEIR IDEA OF PERFECTION,
NO ONE CAN LIVE UP TO THAT,
NOT YOU, NOT ME--
J-JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT,
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY,
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT YOU WERE
THE PERFECT BROTHER.
NO, DON'T GIVE UP.
IT-IT-IT'S MY TIME.
I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT YOU.
NO, NO, NO, LET GO OF ME!
I HAVE NO CHOICE
IN THE MATTER, JOSH.
MY WARRANTY HAS EX-EX-EXPIRED.
YOUR WARRANTY?
MOM AND DAD HAVE MY NEW OP-OP-
OPERATING SYSTEM.
THEY'RE REPLACING
THIS BODY SHELL.
IT'S BEEN TAGGED FOR
THE RECYCLING CENTER.
YOU'RE A...
A-A...
ROBOT.
THE WORD IS "ROBOT."
OKAY.
[SNIFFLES]
I MEAN, YOU'RE STILL MY BROTHER,
AND I'M-
I'M GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE.
LEAVE ME HERE.
I'M NOT GOING TO
LET THEM RECYCLE YOU.
THEY HAVE MY NEW
OPERATING SYSTEM.
IT'S HOW I GROW.
YOU'VE SEEN HOW THIS SHELL'S
BEEN MAL-MAL-MALFUNCTIONING.
J-J-JUST SAVE YOURSELF--
I'M GETTING YOU
OUT OF HERE!
HEY!
[ALARM KLAXONS WAILING]
YOU'RE NOT LEAVING
WITH OUR PROPERTY.
[GROANING WITH EFFORT]
OOF!
[GRUNTING WITH STRUGGLE]
NO!
NO, NO, NO, NO, STOP, STOP!
STOP...
CAN YOU LET US SAY GOODBYE?
I'M NOT SAYING GOODBYE!
THIS ISN'T GOODBYE!
IT CAN'T BE!
YOU'LL GET USED TO
MY REPLACEMENT.
IF YOU'RE NOT REAL,
THEN WHY DO YOU FEEL
SO REAL TO ME?
THEY INSTALLED
A COMPASSION CHIP
IN-IN MY EAR.
YOU'RE SAYING
YOU FELT LIKE MY BROTHER
BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID CHIP?
NO.
THAT'S ENOUGH.
MATT!
WATCH YOUR BACK, JOSH!
MATT!
[DEVICE BEEPING]
[LAUGHING MANICALLY]
WE COULD HAVE
REPORTED HIM.
THANK YOU FOR
LETTING US HANDLE THIS.
HAVE A SEAT, JOSH.
WE NEED TO TALK
I'M NOT SITTING DOWN
WITH THAT THING.
IT HAS A NAME.
WE CALL IT "MATT."
I KNOW THAT'S
NOT REALLY HIM.
I WANT MY REAL BROTHER BACK.
JOSH, HAVE A SEAT,
PLEASE.
MATT WASN'T
FEELING WELL,
SO WE GOT HIM FIXED.
YOU REPLACED HIM.
INSUBORDINATE,
AS ALWAYS.
I KNOW ABOUT
THE EXPERIMENT.
I KNOW THAT MATT'S
SOME SORT OF COMPUTER.
MATT ISN'T THE EXPERIMENT.
YES, HE IS.
I KNOW ABOUT EVERYTHING.
I TOLD YOU THIS WOULDN'T WORK.
[SIGHS]
I'D GROWN SO ACCUSTOMED
TO THE BOY.
I KNOW,
BUT HUMANS ARE
SO UNSTABLE.
THEY EXHIBIT TOO MANY EMOTIONS.
[DEVICE WHIRRS]
WE HAVE NO USE
FOR EMOTIONS.
[DRILL WHINES, CHIP WARBLES]
WE THOUGHT HAVING A HUMAN AROUND
THE HOUSE
WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA,
TO HELP WITH THE CHORES
AND SUCH...
BUT YOU'RE THE CHORE.
[GASPS] MIKE!
I NEED YOUR HELP,
THERE'S SOMETHING--
I'M GOING TO MISS YOU, JOSH.
YOU WERE SO AMUSING
BEFORE YOU KNEW THE TRUTH.
NO...
NO!
I WAS A GOOD FRIEND,
WASN'T I?
NO, NO-- NO!
SORRY.
WE PREFER OUR OWN KIND.
NO! NO!
I'M YOUR SON!
I'M YOUR SON!
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU WERE JUST OUR EXPERIMENT.
NO...
