What made him think they would disassemble him?

“Number 5 is alive.”

Kosh: “And, so it begins…”

Stephanie said so. Are you missing some dialog?

“You will be awarded a cake.” :smiley:

This guy has some great lines in this.

I must be. Why did she tell him that?

Trying to reassure him. Heh.

And here comes the brain trust.

Let’s shoot at the nuclear bomb with frickin lasers. Nice job guys.

Yep, she told him they would take him apart. And she taught him about death. After he already knew he was capable of causing massive amounts of it. :eek:

I get that. Before that. He flipped out and jumped in the Snack Shack. What made him think they would kill him?

Sorry. I missed that. I was busy finishing up something for work.

Many of the little tricks done by Johnny 5 on-screen (like flipping through book pages in a blink of the eye and tossing a washer into the air in a mimic of a scene from an old gangster movie he saw) were done using relatively simple, yet ingenious sleight-of-hand prop effects. For instance, the pages were flipped using an air hose, while the washer was flipped using a piece of string at both ends sideways. Not only did this save money for the producers for the actual robot and the screenplay, but they proved remarkably effective in getting just the right look needed for the scenes.

As per the original movie’s attempt to portray a living robot in the “real world”, every part of Johnny and his brethren was built to have a specific, logical purpose behind them; this was originally a source of contention between the director and the prop designer, the latter of whom insisted on giving Johnny “eyes” to give the character a method of visually expressing emotion. As a result, Johnny’s iconic “eyelids” were created, with the explanation that they were sun guards/camera coverings.

“I hope you took the grass out of the glove compartment.” :smiley:

He has three Skroeders? Ewwww.

“Did he try to molest you in any way?”

Can you frak it?

“Nice software.”
