1x17 - The Robo-Roundup [ mechanical whirring .]

You're a lifesaver, Roth.
What would I do without you? Let's close her up.
Socket wrench.
Intake hose.
Slide hammer.
Roth? Huh? Pimento loaf and okra.
Gotta check it out.
[ mechanical whirring .]
Come on, man, you're getting mustard all over him! - All over who? - Roth! Who's Ralph? [ screams .]
Get off him! [ all screaming .]
Uh, hmm Cheesy fries? [ groans .]
Ha! Whoo! - Give it all, little doggie! - Cut it out, man! - What is your deal, bro? - Roth is not furniture! [ mechanical whirring .]
[ laughs .]
You mean the chair? Aw, cute.
He gave this thing a name.
He's not a thing.
We've been over this.
Huh? Hmm [ mechanical whirring .]
[ grunting .]
[ mechanical whirring .]

Hmm Nah, your lips are moving, but I don't understand what you're saying.
[ screams .]
[ all screaming .]
Get off of him! [ beeps .]
Incoming call from Texas.
Yes! [ mechanical whirring .]
Talk to me.
Rock and roll, Texas! What's shakin'? Oh, what do you want? What do I want? Texas with a capital "T," baby! Seriously, it's on again! Robo round up! We're bringin' it back to mama's boys arena all week long! Uh, "Robo round up"? Never heard of it.
Come on, Texas.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, baby.
Look, your greatest hits! [ grunts .]
Checkin' for char marks, baby, 'cause this guy just got smoked! [ all cheering .]
Come on, somebody's gotta come in last! The only one comin' in last is you! I ain't drivin'.
So? I'll make ya! In your face! In my face? In your face! [ grunts .]
You fools are toasted! Oh, no, seven blends of herbs and butt kick! [ both grunting .]
[ grunts .]
T.
K.
O.
, bro! Down goes Texas! No! You're, uh [ stammering .]
What? It's called english.
Look it up in a book! You better show and bring a robot, or else no throwin' down! Oh, I'll bring a robot.
Where am I gonna get a robot? Huh? [ all cheering .]
Ooh-whee! Smell the fail, baby! [ sniffs .]
Yeah, well, that fail smell isn't me, it's you, 'cause you smell like fail! Hope you drive better than you talk, jack! Who am I kiddin'? You can't do either! - See ya in the loser circle! - I'm winning this! Who's ready for some round up?! Your robot? [ mechanical whirring .]
Ah, you got this.
Okay, who's the baddest? That's me.
Racers, you got four minutes to collect them points! The racer with the highest point total wins the cup! Comprende? Rope as many robots as you can in each event before time goes bye-bye and you are gold! No ropin', no points! Get it on! [ mechanical whirring .]
Like shootin' rocks in a pond! [ mechanical whirring .]
Whoa, hey, hey.
Stand still! [ all cheering .]
No! Come on! [ buzzer sounds .]
Round 1 is over! [ all cheering .]
Worth his weight in gold, baby! Ladies and gents, Texas! [ all laugh .]
Contestant gathered 0 robots and has 0 points.
Chances of winning zero.
[ groans .]
Shut your mouth hole, you stupid bot! What do you know?! Zero! Whoa, not copacetic, man! You can't smash up our ref-bot like that! - You are done for the day! - What?! Try again later, kemosabe! And you better fork over some moolah for that bot you wrecked, man! Bot? It's right here.
It's maybe it's Well, I, uh um, loan me something? [ mechanical whirring .]
We're gonna need some skilled hands on that.
Hey, Roth.
Roth? Where is he? - Roth? - Roth? Oh, there.
Roth, man, didn't you hear us callin'? Roth? Roth? - What the? - "Ralf"? Texas.
Texas! Hey, what are you little guys doin'? Spill it.
Where's Roth? - Dutch, wait! - Texas! Oh, okay, I did it.
I lost your thing.
I entered a rodeo, then I smashed something, you know, that bot, and the mama's boys wanted moolah, and I'm broke, so I gave 'em Ralf.
Anybody wanna shoot some pool? Roth! His name is Roth! How could you do something like that?! Well, you know, I really wanted to win this trophy.
What's the big deal? It's just a robot.
Just a robot? Does "just a robot" cheer you up when you're down? Does "just a robot" let you know your breath has reached nuclear level when Claire is around? Does "just a robot" stay up with you when you get another bout of the night terrors? Look, everyone just calm down.
I'm sure Texas already knows what we have to do.
I do? We'll just head back there and get Roth, right? - You will? - Yes, we will go get Roth.
But I just got back from there.
Jumpin' jehoosofthat! Will you go get him already! [ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
Welcome to the jungle, baby.
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ laughs .]
Hey, Mike Chilton is here.
Looks like no one's comin'.
Let's go.
Twice in one day?! It's like hittin' the jerk weed lottery! Uh, look, I need that thing back.
I brought moolah.
Sorry, bro, you're too late.
Oh Uh, they said there was an accident.
Oh, buddy.
What did they do to you? Well, I-I know that thing was important to ya.
It's just these guys have been talkin' stuff for years! And this was my chance to shut 'em up! [ crying .]
But I swear, Dutch, guys, I'll make it up to ya.
Chuck, I'll teach you to be less like a girl.
What else? Texas, don't you realize what you've done? Hold up, these aren't Roth's parts.
The mama's boys still have him! Ooh, stone cold, bro! Totally rock and roll! You're different from these hunks of metal.
Smarter.
Bet you got all sorts of skills.
Silent treatment.
I get it.
Well, you'll play ball sooner or later.
You're gonna be with us a long time.
Especially since I told your bros you were toast.
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ beeps .]
Check ya later! [ beeps .]
[ beeping .]
There's gotta be another way in.
Why don't we just drive in and run everything over? There are a lot of reasons why we shouldn't do that.
I swear, if those mama's boys even looked at Roth funny, I'm gonna I feel ya, buddy.
Got it! All right, there's a sewer duct about 100 yards outside the complex.
We can sneak in right underneath their hideout.
Well, it ain't pretty, but it should do the trick.
Afraid we gotta walk it from here, guys.
Don't want them to hear us coming.
[ gagging .]
Hey, anybody else hungry? I knew we should've picked up some ribs first.
All right, Chuck, get us in.
[ beeping .]
[ alarm sounds .]
Uh, Chuck? I used the encrypted code! It wasn't us! Yeah, what's goin' on? [ mechanical whirring .]
Ralf? [ mechanical whirring .]
Roth! [ mechanical whirring .]
Buddy, you're alive! [ mechanical whirring .]
Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay! What's it doing? Make it stop! Yeah, you tell him, man! Roth! So it's got feelings and stuff? [ mechanical whirring .]
Okay, let's finish this reunion back at HQ.
[ mechanical whirring .]
It went over there! [ mechanical whirring .]
What? Do I have a booger? Whoa! Hey, quit doin' that! Ow! Oh, it's gone crazy! [ beeping .]
Roth, what are you doing? Roth, get in here! Now! Hold it right there! Look who thinks they can just hightail it out of here.
Thought wrong, reject Burner-bot.
Roth, no! Oh, no! Come on, you can make it! Shh! That's it.
Come on back to papa.
Nice and easy now.
We gotta go back! We can't just leave him there! Roth.
He sacrificed himself for us, for me! We owe it to him to not give up! Him? Like you even care about Roth.
Oh, you know, he's my bro too.
Okay, I just found that out.
Feelin' a little weird about it.
Might have to talk to somebody.
Still, we have to save him.
They'll put him on lockdown.
There's no way we'll reach him now.
The mama's boys went to A lot of trouble to keep Roth, and I'm betting it wasn't to leave him locked up.
They're gonna use him in tonight's round up! Yeah! I mean, Roth's better than any robot out there! I-I mean, dude, guy, metal man.
You know what I'm sayin'.
So, what, we just buy a couple of tickets, take our seats, and wait to pounce? No, we keep Texas in the rodeo.
[ screams .]
Uh, I don't know.
I-I mean, I'm awesome at this thing, buy maybe a little less awesome at it than the other things I'm really awesome at.
Look, when they send out Roth, just grab him and say the word.
We'll lay low and be ready to have your back.
I'm gonna need a robot for the competition.
- You just leave that to me.
- Oh, no.
[ screams .]
Why are we always leaving? Come on, come on, come on.
Guess you like lookin' dumb, huh? You're the dumb one dumb enough to let me enter again, 'cause I'm winnin' this time, baby! That cup is mine! Yeah, that happens and I'll eat a turkey butt.
[ all laugh .]
[ exhales .]
Don't lose your cool, Texas.
Whoa.
You guys all right? Never better.
An enforcer drone? Isn't that too dangerous? Don't worry, its weapon systems are disabled.
Time to save Roth Texas-style.
[ grunts .]
Let's get into position.
Get it on! Boom! That just happened.
Whoa! Okay, we're in position directly under the arena.
Now let's wait and see if Texas needs any back-up.
[ cheers .]
[ screams .]
Taste that! Eat turkey butt! Ugh, round three goes to Texas.
I'm in first place! I'm awesome! This is it, baby! The final showdown for all the marbles! Robo-ropin' royale! Drive in, rope your bot.
Seem like a piece of cake.
No way, like findin' a needle in a haystack.
And if you rope the wrong bot, you're out! Now get it on! [ roars .]
I don't see Roth.
Just stay cool and keep an eye out.
Okay, no sweat.
[ mechanical whirring .]
Or actually lots of sweat.
Buckets of stinky B.
O.
sweat! They all look the same! What do you mean, they all look the same? They've been painted or something.
How am I supposed to figure out which one's Roth? Good question.
Looks like old Texas went numb in the brain skull! 'Bout to go from first to worst! [ all laugh .]
I'm first, you're worst! [ roars .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
Roth! If I rope this bot, I win.
I mean, Roth can hold out till I win the trophy, right? No.
I found him! I'm coming to save you, buddy! Hang on! Looks like Texas lost his head again! He's drivin' away from his bot! [ laughs .]
Wait a minute! He's tryin' to be slicky tricky.
Well, he ain't about to out slick me.
Send out the biggin! Aw, so cute.
It's all excited to see Texas.
[ mechanical whirring .]
Uh-oh.
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ mechanical whirring .]
Well, I got Roth, but I think Texas might need a little back-up! Burners, let's move! [ all scream .]
Get my car.
Vamonos! I'm gonna smack those Burners down! How about this for a rescue? Listen, I'm sorry, little buddy.
I swear, nothing like that will ever happen again.
Friend? [ mechanical whirring .]
Cool rodeo.
[ mechanical whirring .]
[ loud bang .]
Looks like someone wants a heapin' helpin' of Texas.
[ roars .]
Whoo! [ gasps .]
Heads up! Come on! There's no escape, baby! [ grunts .]
[ screams .]
[ laughs .]
Did you see that? Come on, give me skin, bro.
Guess you think you're pretty sweet, huh? Jackin' the round up, stealin' my robot.
Thanks, I am sweet, but he's not your robot.
He's my friend.
Typical Texas, baby.
Pushover city.
Robots aren't friends.
They're machines, man.
[ mechanical whirring .]
Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Yeah, well, looks like you're havin' fun with your machines.
I'll catch you later.
[ grunts .]
[ screaming .]
My turkey butt! Okay, I wasn't sure what you wanted, so I brought some juice, some oil, some hydro fluid.
Drink up, fellas.
[ clears throat .]
Hey, what's goin' on? We realize you didn't get to win the round up, but maybe this will ease the pain.
And help you remember who your friends are.
May we present to you the Roth cup.
I'll never not remember who my friends are.
[ mechanical whirring .]
And I hope that my friends will never not remember that I Texas am their number one friend.
Hear me now, my robo-bot buds.
Uh, Tex? That thing's a wrench.
He's not a thing! He's my brother.
Texas is here.
