> 'I went to Bobby's house and watched a movie.'

> 'What did you watch?' asked Marsha.

> 'The Ten Commandments.' answered Tommy.

> The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him

> 'I'm sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen.'
>
> 'I'm ashamed of you, son,' said John. 'When I was your age, I never lied

> The robot then walked around to John and delivered a roundhouse right

> The robot immediately walked around to Marsha, and ... slapped her ...
