Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Eccentric scientist, Dr. Daniel, and his shy, clumsy assistant, Max, lead a quiet life on their space station where they carry out illegal research into androids, until they receive an unwelcome visit from three fugitives from justice, one of whom is female. Dr. Daniel and Max are both interested in her, but one of them has rather more sinister intentions than just romance. At first, they all get along, but when one of the criminals becomes psychotic, violence erupts. Meanwhile, the space police are on their trail.

Maggie:
Now, let me get this straight. You've got a... what did you call it? Dr. Daniel: An android. Maggie: Right. That's, uh, like a robot, right? Dr. Daniel: That's correct. Maggie: And you want to hook me up to this robot and stimulate me. Dr. Daniel: Yes. Maggie: Stimulate like sex, right? Dr. Daniel: Yes. Maggie: Brother, you take the prize. That's the weirdest line for getting into my pants that I've ever heard, and I've heard 'em all. I mean, lunch was good, but it wasn't that good. See more » |
