(ZH) Adrian, did the little robot wake up on its own just now.

(AD) What.

(ZH) Well, I was looking at it and then it just popped its little head up at me.

(AD) Oh, yeah.

(AD) I programmed in some different ways for it to start recording, so that if one way doesn’t work I can start it up a different way.

(ZH) Why would you do that.

(AD) Well, if it were unable to hear me for some reason, I could still get it to initialize by staring at it.

(ZH) Oh, I see.

(ZH) Cute.

(AD) You really think it’s cute, huh.

(AD) Is that why you were staring at it.

(ZH) Well, partly.

(ZH) I was trying to think of a good name for it.

(AD) What.

(AD) Uh, it doesn’t really need one, does it.

(ZH) You wouldn’t think that, would you.

(AD) I mean, it’s not a person or a pet or anything like that.

(ZH) It helps you so much, though.

(ZH) Hasn’t it earned a name.

(AD) It doesn’t really care, Zhuli.

(AD) It’s just metal.

(ZH) Well, that doesn’t mean you can’t name it.

>

(AD) I mean I guess, but why.

(ZH) You spend all day in that little shop of yours.

(ZH) You could use another friend.

(AD) It’s not a friend, it’s a.

(ZH) It’ll be fun.

(ZH) Come on, what are some good names.

>AUTO INITIALIZATION: TRIGGERED BY USER: “ADRIAN” BY: “Maintenance log start trigger” with: “It’s a maintenance robot. I don’t think names are really going to stick the same for it.”

(ZH) Adrian, I don’t believe you thought Hank was a good name for it.

(ZH) I just don’t.

(ZH) Look at those ears.

(ZH) It’s so tiny.

(ZH) Can you really call that a Hank.

(AD) Hank is a dependable name.

(AD) If you call somebody named Hank, and ask them to do a job, you just know they’re going to do the job right.

(ZH) That’s.

(ZH) Adrian, no.

(ZH) We’re not naming it Hank.

(AD) You don’t think Hank fits.

(AD) Look at it.

(AD) It just screams Hank to me.

(AD) I can feel it calling out to me.

(AD) Name me Hank, Adrian.

(AD) This is what I need.

(ZH) Adrian, stop.

(ZH) I can’t think of names when I’m laughing.

(AD) Alright, alright.

(AD) What do you think we should call it.

(ZH) How about Penny.

(AD) That certainly is cute.

(ZH) Isn’t it.

(ZH) It fits with the color, too.

(AD) Well, look at that. It does.

(AD) It’s small like a penny too.

(ZH) That settles it then.

(ZH) From this day forth, your small friend shall be named Penny.

(AD) Well, I.

(ZH) She will be very cute and bring you much joy.

(AD) I.

(ZH) And all will be well.

>

(AD) Ah, that’s too good.

(AD) Nuts, how’d it turn on again.

(AD) Shutdown.

(AD) What.

(AD) Why.

(ZH) I realized that Penny can record what we say, so this might be a fun way to remember things later.

(AD) Huh.

(AD) I guess you’re right.

>

(AD) So, what was it that you wanted to record.

(ZH) This.

(ZH) Now we’ll have it forever.

>

(ZH) Wait, this is the first time Penny’s heard her name.

(ZH) Hi, Penny.

(AD) It can’t understand you, Zhuli.

(ZH) That’s fine.

(ZH) It’s fun to imagine she can.

(ZH) Just think, if we’d thought of this a bit earlier, we could have recorded the whole conversation about naming Penny.

(AD) Besides coming up with the name itself, did we say anything important.

(ZH) It was all important.

(AD) Was it.

(ZH) I thought so, anyway.

(AD) Must have been, then.

(ZH) Anyway, we don’t need to keep this on.

(ZH) I’ve made my point.

(AD) Ok, shutdown.

(AD) From all the way over there.

(ZH) Yeah.

(AD) But.

(AD) Why.

(ZH) I wanted to get your reaction.

(AD) My reaction to ok Zhuli what are you carrying.

(ZH) Paint.

(AD) Paint.

(ZH) Yes, paint.

(AD) But.

(AD) Why.

(ZH) For Penny.

(ZH) Hi Penny.

(AD) You’re gonna paint my robot.

(ZH) It’ll be fun.

(ZH) We can give her a little face and she can be your friend.

(AD) A face.

(ZH) Yeah, so you can see where she’s looking.

(AD) It can’t see, though.

(AD) It doesn’t look anywhere.

(ZH) But Adrian, it’ll make her so cute.

(AD) Alright.

(AD) We can paint a face on it.

(AD) You’ll have to help me, though.

(AD) I’m not very good at making things pretty.

(ZH) We can do it together.

(AD) Do you know how you want it to look ahead of time.

(ZH) Cute.

(AD) I mean, do you know where you want the eyes to be.

(AD) Or do you know how big they’re supposed to be.

(ZH) Oh, no.

(ZH) I was sort of thinking we’d find out as we go.

(AD) Maybe it’d be a good idea to draw out a picture first so we know what we’re doing.

(ZH) That is a good idea.

(ZH) Aw, I should have brought paper.

(AD) I have some.

(AD) Always keep some with me in case I need to make notes by hand.

>

>

(AD)Alright, found the paper.

(AD) So if this is Penny’s head.

(ZH) Ooh, maybe the eyes look like this.

(ZH) And then a little smile.

>

(ZH) What do you think.

(AD) This is plenty cute for me.

(AD) What do you think.

(ZH) She’s your friend.

(ZH) If you’re happy, I’m happy.

(AD) I’m happy, then.

(AD) Should we get to painting.

(ZH) Yes, let’s.

>UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE IN CONTACT WITH DISH HINGE

>PLEASE CLEAN DISH HINGE

(ZH) Why did she jolt up like that.

(AD) It probably detected the paint and set itself to a safer position.

(AD) Let’s clean that up and turn this off so that doesn’t happen again.

(AD) I’ll set it up to tolerate the paint later.

(ZH) Shutdown.

(ZH) Alright Adrian, you can come back now.

(AD) Is it everything you hoped it would be.

(ZH) You tell me.

>

(AD) That is just the second cutest thing I ever saw.

(ZH) You love it you love it you love it.

(ZH) I’m so glad you like it, Adrian.

(AD) Yeah, I like it a lot.

(AD) You did a good job, Zhuli.

(ZH) We both did a good job.

(AD) I guess we did, didn’t we.

(ZH) You two have to get along, now.

(ZH) If Penny tells me you haven’t, you’ll be in serious trouble, mister.

(AD) You don’t have to worry about that.

(AD) Penny can’t talk.

(ZH) I’ll be able to tell.

(AD) Oh, will you now.

(ZH) I can always tell.

(ZH) Oh, no.

(ZH) I’m sorry, Adrian, but I can’t stay for any longer.

(ZH) I have to get this paint back up to the castle before anyone notices it’s gone.

(AD) That’s ok.

(AD) I’m glad you were able to come and stay as long as you did.

(AD) Do you need help getting anything.

(ZH) I can manage, but thank you.

(AD) Stay safe on your way back up.

(ZH) I’ll do my best.

(ZH) Bye.

(AD) Bye.
