[music continues]
boosh
[clanking]
[instrumental music]
[saw buzzing]
[hammering]
A couple more of whams
with a hammer
and it'll be finished.
Okay, now. Try a remote
rapid control unit.
Right.
[buzzing]
[rattling]
It works, Delbert.
Our robot man works!
Junior?
Come into the house now.
It's time for your nap.
Oh, gee.
Wonder if Einstein or Edison
had these kinda problems
when they were kids.
[buzzing]
[rumbling]
[dramatic music]
Hey! That looked
like my robot going by.
Come back, Delbert.
The world's not
ready for you yet.
screech
Look out!
[horn honking]
wham
creak
Wow. What a sore head.
Ha-ho, ha-ho, ha-ho.
thud
thud
[screeching]
Please, Delbert.
You're gonna get me
grounded for a month.
This thing's gettin' outta hand.
The only one who can stop
that robot is Atom Ant.
[trumpet music]
screech
"Atom Ant."
This is the place.
I hope he's home.
Uh-huh. Now for the final
step in my experiment.
Careful now.
Least little jar
of this high-powered stuff and..
[mimics explosion]
Hey, Atom Ant!
boom
[Atom Ant coughing]
[grunts]
You called?
(Junior)
'You've gotta stop him.'
My giant robot is tearing up
the whole city.
Oh, he is, is he?
But not for long.
Atom Ant
up and at 'em!
[clanks]
[screeching]
Hey, there,
you king-size tomato can.
Drop that bus.
Drop it, I say.
[clanks]
Yikes!
Uh, I shouldn't have given
him a direct order.
[grunts]
Phew.
Almost had a busted bus.
[instrumental music]
He's a little too pushy
to suit me.
[grunting]
Now, let's put the nice building
back like a good robot, hmm?
[grunting]
[panting]
Glad it wasn't
the Empire State building.
Phew.
[instrumental music]
thump
Yipes!
When he bowls,
he uses real alleys.
I'd better clear the tracks.
[screeching]
Uh, e-excuse me, lady.
Upsy-daisy!
This has gone far enough.
screech
bam
creak-k
If he thinks he's gonna get away
with stunts like that
he's buggier than I am.
Now where'd he go?
Oh, I gotta find him fast.
Atom Ant
up and at 'em!
Ha-ho, ha-ho, ha-ho.
Help! Giddy-up!
[neighing]
[upbeat music]
Ha-ho, ha-ho, ha-ho.
(male #1)
Hey, Charlie, who's that
down on Runway 3?
(Charlie)
'Huh? Eh, looks like a robot
picking up an aeroplane.'
'Probably one of those
new mechanical units'
'the air force
is always working on.'
crash
'Looks like someone pushed
the wrong button that time.'
Ha-ho, ha-ho.
Rubber band broke.
[screeching]
There you are!
Watch this, tinman!
I call it instant junk.
swish
Ha-ho, ha-ho, ha-ho.
boom
[clanking]
[clattering]
I always wanted
a king-size erector set
but this time
we'll put him together my way.
[saw buzzing]
♪ Oh the knee bolt
connected to the ankle bolt ♪
♪ And the ankle bolt
connected to the shin bolt ♪
That sounds like Atom Ant.
[hammering]
Hey! Nice job
you're doin' there.
Thank you, Junior.
Say, whatever happened
to the robot man?
Oh, he's still around
but he's changed his ways.
He's going around
in better circles now.
