Awards Ceremony: Robot of the Year
"I wonder if there's a Robot of the Year award," said Robot 1.
"There should be," said Robot 2. "It would be nice for robots to be recognised."
The doorbell rings
Robot 1 answers the door.
"Hello, Robot 35 at your service."
"Hello," said Robot 1. "Have you come to tell us that we have been nominated for Robot of the Year?"
"No," replied Robot 35. "Why would I come all this way to tell you that?"
"Why are you here then?" asked Robot 1.
Robot 35 paused for a minute.
"I can't remember," said Robot 35.
"You're certainly not going to win Robot of the Year. You've knocked on my door and you don't know why."
"I didn't knock on your door. I rang the doorbell."
"Ok, Robot 35. If you don't know what you want, then I wish you a good day."
"Goodbye," said Robot 35 as he turned and walked down the path.
Robot 1 closes the door.
One minute later, there is a knock at the door.
"Hello, it is Robot 35 again. This time I knocked at the door. I am pleased to tell you that you and your friend, Robot 2, have been nominated for an award."
"Robot of the Year?" asked Robot 1.
"Not quite," said Robot 35. "But prestigious, all the same."
"As long as it is not for Muppet of the Year, then I think we can make it."
The head of Robot 35 starts to spin.
"Oh no," said Robot 1. "We've been nominated for Muppet of the Year. What mf did that?"
The head of Robot 35 is still spinning.
"It was me," said Robot 35.
"I wish you a good day again," said Robot 1.
"My head is still spinning," said Robot 35
"I have no sympathy," said Robot 1. "You nominated us for Muppet of the Year."
"That's why my head is spinning. Please forgive me."
"Will your head stop spinning if I forgive you?" asked Robot 1
"I hope so," said Robot 35. "Please forgive me."
"No," said Robot 1. "Your head can carry on spinning."
Robot 2 comes to the door.
"Forgive him," said Robot 2. "You can't leave his head spinning."
The head of Robot 35 stops spinning.
"Thank you for your forgiveness," said Robot 35. "My head has stopped spinning. You are a kind robot."
"Actually, I'm not that nice," said Robot 2. "I didn't actually forgive you."
"Are you going to kick his nuts?" asked Robot 1
"That's not nice," remarked Robot 35.
No, it is not nice, but Robot 2 cannot resist.
