Not Quite Human1987

Chip:
Dinner's ready.

Becky:
I'm not hungry.

Chip:
Are you upset because Brian is taking Erin to the dance?

Becky:
Please just leave me alone.

Chip:
I can take you to the dance.

Becky:
That's all I need, a 400-pound robo-geek stepping all over my feet. No thanks. Now would you just go away a quit ruing my life, okay?

Chip:
I didn't mean to ruin your life, Becky.

Becky:
Yeah, well you have. Ever since you came into this family.

Chip:
I'm sorry.

Becky:
Just forget it. Look, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Chip:
That's okay... I deserved it.

[Chip leaves]

Becky:
Feelings? I don't believe it! [she rushes to the kitchen were Chip and Jonas are preparing for dinner] Dad, you're not gonna believe this! Guess what? I hurt Chip's feelings.

Jonas:
Well why would you want to-what?

Becky:
He said he'd take me to the dance and I said no way and I swear, I hurt his feelings. I could tell.

Jonas:
Now don't jump to any conclusions. You've gotta be rational and scientific. Chip, how do you feel?

Chip:
Feel?

Jonas:
When Becky said she couldn't go to the dance with you. What was your reaction?

Chip:
Something heavy, right in my central computer.

Jonas:
Yes?

Chip:
Something hot, right near my video sensors.

Jonas:
Becky, you may be right. He may be experiencing human emotion.

Becky:
Wow.

Chip:
Is that good?

Jonas:
Good? If it's true, it's fantastic!
