Can we get this done quickly?
00:08
It’s Songs ‘N Lasers Night
at the Rollerskate Pit.
00:09
Oh, let’s dump everything in a
garbage bag and throw it outside.
00:12
We’ll be done in five minutes.
00:15
It’s not like we’re using this junk
anyway. I mean, what’s even in here?
00:17
Receipts and sandwich wrappers?
00:20
Actually, it’s all stuff from when
we first started working together.
00:22
Hahaha! Look at how ridiculous
we looked! And by we I mean you
00:25
coz’ I look totally cool in this picture.
00:29
We were just two guys with
a dream, a garage and a mouse.
00:31
Did we even have a business plan?
00:35
Ha! Can you believe we used to
work on such primitive machines?
00:41
Look how many centimeters thick
this is! Look, Modern Smartphone.
00:45
It’s your ancestor. I feel bad for it, too.
00:49
Didn’t you write your
first program on this thing?
00:52
Yeah. I never could get it to
work, though. I wasn’t such
00:54
an experienced programmer
back in those days.
00:57
Oh, come on, I bet you could fix it now?
00:59
Let’s see if this works.
01:02
Okay, hold on, let me blow on it.
01:05
Oh, yeah, that always works.
01:07
He shoots!
01:25
... And I immediately found the problem.
01:27
Someone stuffed a marshmallow
into the back of the tablet.
01:29
Oh wow, yeah! From our college
prank marshmallow war, remember?!
01:33
I mean, I wonder who did that.
01:37
This is why I don’t let you
touch my things anymore.
01:40
Exit Sleepmode.
01:48
Huh. Maybe my programming
wasn’t the problem after all.
01:49
Initiating search for: Da-da-da-Daddy.
01:54
Nah. The voice on this program
must still have a glitch.
01:57
It just mispronounced the
word “Ben” as “daddy.”
02:00
My daddy is... Ben.
02:03
Um, Ben? What was this
program supposed to do?
02:07
I don’t even remember. I think I
just made it because I was bored.
02:10
My daddy... made me. My daddy
is Ben. Ben is my da-da-daddy.
02:13
Daddy Ben made me.
02:20
I love you, Daddy.
Daddy, daddy, daddy.
02:23
Daddy - huh!
02:28
I didn’t set out to make a computer
that feels love. Personally, I find
02:31
the idea of love complicated and
icky. The only explanation is that
02:34
the program I wrote has
accidentally developed
02:38
the personality of a small child.
I guess I don’t really have
02:41
to explain that. It’s just basic
computer science, right?
02:44
Seen it, seen it, don’t wanna see
it. Ooh, a four-hour background
02:50
image of a fish tank! I’ve been
meaning to check this out...
02:54
Agh!
02:57
Guys! We’re infested with robot rats!
Do we have any virtual cheese?
02:58
This isn’t a robot rat, it’s a computer
that Ben brought to life - obviously.
03:02
How cute! Oh, he’s got daddy’s eyes.
03:07
Sorry. Boomerang was getting in the
way while I was cleaning, so I gave
03:10
it wheels to move around
and entertain itself.
03:14
Boomerang?
03:16
I’m Boomerang!
03:18
It likes to be called Boomerang.
03:19
I don’t know, Ben. Computer kids
are a big responsibility. From what
03:21
I’ve seen on TV, you have to talk
to your kids almost every day.
03:25
And warn them about stranger danger.
03:29
Well, I think of every program
that I write as my offspring.
03:32
Boomerang is no different.
03:35
Daddy! I’m stuck! It’s dusty and dark
under here! Help! Daddy! Help! Daddy!
03:37
Dadada... I’ll sing you a lullaby. The
modem noise always calms him down.
03:43
Uhm.
03:55
So... like I was saying, this isn’t
gonna be a big deal at all.
03:56
Cut it out, Boomerang.
04:05
You can’t get me, Ginger.
04:07
Everybody knock it off! Boomerang!
04:09
Slow down! Ginger! Stop
riling up the toddler tablet.
04:10
You can’t shoot me because I have
a force field that shoots back lasers
04:13
so when you shot me
you actually hit yourself!
04:17
No fair! No fair! Force fields are cheating!
04:20
Oh, man. This room looks worse than
before. We’re never gonna make it
04:28
to Songs ‘N Lasers Night at the
Rollerskate Pit at this rate.
04:33
I am so disappointed.
04:35
Yeah, there’s been an unexpected
development. Boomerang’s computer
04:38
brain is growing quickly. Now
he’s already about Ginger’s age.
04:41
Well, if you don’t think you can
go to Songs ‘N Lasers Night,
04:45
I understand. I mean, you kind of
have a kid now. I can go with Hank.
04:49
Yes!
04:53
Of course I wanna go! It’s a night
with both songs and lasers!
04:53
Never mind!
04:57
We’ll just quickly clean up the
garage and be ready to go.
04:58
Oh, man! I didn’t think that
would actually work!
05:03
Ginger!
05:05
Hu-hu. Let’s throw things at him
while he can’t move! Hu-hu, Hu-hu!
05:06
Guys, I don’t know if I’m going
to be able to go out tonight.
05:11
Don’t give up just yet. I’m gonna
make a call to someone who might
05:14
just give us some help. She’s an expert.
05:18
Guys, get a clue. Just because I’m
a girl it doesn’t mean I know how
05:22
to babysit. Anyway, I charge by the
hour. Oh and I’ll keep him away
05:24
from the TV and you just tell
me when his bedtime is.
05:28
Oh, you are a life saver, Angela. I
was starting to think we wouldn’t
05:30
make it to the coolest laser-and-music-
and-roller-skate-themed night in town.
05:34
Oh it’s fine, and also fine that
you weren’t gonna invite me to that
05:38
fun thing. So, can I meet the little dude?
05:41
Yeah, he’s around here
somewhere. Boomerang!
05:44
Boomerang!
05:47
Oh, his name is
Boomerang. Hey, little guy.
05:50
‘Sup.
05:53
We’re going to have so much fun
while Ben and Tom go out, okay?
05:54
Does that sound like a good
idea? Yes, it does, yes, it does.
05:57
Uh, why is this old lady talking to
me like I’m some kind of kid?
06:02
I'm not a kid, okay?
I’m like four hours old.
06:06
Hey Boomerang! Did you forget
06:09
we were just about to start
playing king pirate robot?
06:11
Ugh. Pirates are so done.
06:14
Oh. You take that back!
06:17
I can’t even be around you anymore,
Boomerang! You’ve changed!
06:20
Whatever.
06:24
His programming must
have upgraded again.
06:27
He now has the personality
of a surly preteen.
06:29
Man, I hope he doesn’t fry his
circuits with all these upgrades.
06:34
He’ll be fine. Now let’s get out of
here before Angela changes he mind.
06:37
You know, I don’t really need a babysitter.
06:41
Why don’t you just let me come with you?
06:43
I don’t know, Boomerang.
I kind of need a break, okay?
06:45
Come on, I have never been to a
party. I’d be great at a party.
06:48
Check my moves.
06:52
Look, I’m not taking you because
you’re just a program that I wrote
06:55
and I need time to myself, okay?!
06:59
Well, if you don’t want me around,
then I’ll just go! Just go, just go.
07:01
Wait, Boomerang. I didn’t mean
that the way it sounded.
07:08
You have to pull it to open it.
07:15
I hate everyone and nobody
understands me! I want to listen
07:18
to my music! Teen stuff,
blegh, blegh, blegh.
07:21
Tom, it looks like I won’t be going
to the Rollerskate Pit after all.
07:26
Boomerang, you’re right.
07:30
I can’t just ignore you. What do
you say we go out and get
07:32
a milkshake? Just the two of us.
07:35
Well, I don’t have a mouth or any way
to consume food. But sure, whatever.
07:37
So then I rewrote all your code,
and that’s how you were born.
07:48
Gross. I did not need to hear that.
07:51
It’s perfectly natural.
07:54
Ew, Dad!
07:56
Hey, do you think that air
conditioning unit is looking at me?
08:01
Uh. Air conditioning? Well I’m
not sure how I would be able
08:05
to tell that. Uhm. Maybe?
08:07
It doesn’t matter. Someone with
that many amps wouldn’t have any
08:11
use for a guy like me anyway.
08:14
Hey. Never say that about yourself.
You are a great application,
08:17
sweet Boomerang. And I am proud of you.
08:21
Really? Oh...
08:23
Oh, wow, Ben, you really missed out,
man. I mean, the Rollerskate Pit
08:25
was a life-changing experience. I
mean I don’t think I’m ever gonna
08:30
look at in-line footwear the same way again.
08:33
I mean... oh, you guys made up.
08:35
You know what? We have. This day
hasn’t gone the way I planned it,
08:38
but maybe that’s okay. Because
I’ve got Boomerang now.
08:42
And I’ve got you, Pop. Update
available “young adult” mode.
08:46
Error. Not enough memory.
Error. Error. Circuit overload.
08:52
- Shutting down.
- Boomerang?
08:56
- Shutting down.
- Boomerang?
08:57
- Shutting down.
- Boomerang!
08:59
Did I break another computer thing?
09:00
I didn’t mean to. I didn’t even
bring a marshmallow this time.
09:02
No! Boomerang’s clunky old computer
body can’t contain his rapidly
09:04
expanding mind! Argh, why
is old technology such junk?!
09:08
Didn’t old-time people know that
they should just make good things?
09:14
Bboommerraanngg…
09:17
Wait... if it’s the old technology
that’s junk, maybe you can put
09:18
Boomerang in your new phone!
09:21
But that would connect Boomerang
to the Internet. Once he’s there,
09:23
he’ll be out in the harsh world.
I won’t be able to protect him.
09:26
Goodbye, Dad. Boomerang...out.
09:29
You protected him for a quarter of
a day, Ben. It’s time to let him go
09:33
into that harsh world on his own.
09:37
Gah! Why does everyone say
being a parent is super easy?!
09:39
Pretty sure no-one’s ever said that.
09:42
Well, that makes sense then!
Because it’s not easy at all!
09:44
There you go little guy.
09:50
Woah. The Internet.
09:53
Boomerang, promise me you’ll stay
out of trouble. Use numbers
09:57
and letters in your passwords. Avoid spam
emails. And... don’t touch pop-up ads!
09:59
Ugh, yeah, I know, Dad! I’m not
running on BASIC, duh.
10:05
That’s my Boomerang.
Email home, okay?
10:09
Okay, sure, you got it Dad, gotta go!
10:12
They grow up so fast.
10:16
Yeah. But hey, he’s moved on to
something really great. I mean,
10:17
who knows what kind of amazing,
brilliant, mindblowing stuff that
10:21
kid is up to right now?
10:26
Paaaarty!

歌词与翻译
[中文]
我们能快点搞定吗？
今晚可是“音乐与激光之夜”——就在轮滑场。
噢，把这些东西全倒进垃圾袋，扔出去吧。
五分钟就能搞定。
反正这些垃圾我们留着也没用。我是说，这里面到底是什么？
收据和三明治包装纸？
其实，这些都是我们刚开始合作时留下的东西。
哈哈哈！看看我们那时候的样子有多滑稽！我说“我们”，其实是在说你。
因为这张照片里的我看起来帅呆了。
那时候我们只有两个小伙子、一个梦想、一个车库，还有一只老鼠。
我们当时甚至连商业计划书都没有吗？
哈！你敢相信我们以前竟然用这种老古董机器工作吗？
你看这东西有多厚！瞧瞧，这才是现代智能手机。
它是你的老祖宗。连我都替它感到难受。
你不是在这玩意儿上写了你的第一个程序吗？
是啊。不过我从来没能让它跑通。那时候我还没那么……
经验丰富。
噢，算了吧，我敢打赌你现在肯定能修好它。
看看它能不能用。
好了，等一下，让我吹一吹。
噢，没错，这招总是很管用。
他投篮了！
……我一眼就发现了问题所在。
有人往平板电脑的背面塞了一个棉花糖。
噢，哇！是咱们大学搞恶作剧打棉花糖大战的时候，还记得吗？！
我是说，真好奇是谁干的。
这就是为什么我再也不让你碰我的东西了。
退出睡眠模式。
呵。看来我的编程水平其实没问题。
正在启动搜索：爸-爸-爸爸。
不。这程序的语音肯定还是有故障。
它竟然把“本”这个词误读成了“爸爸”。
我的爸爸是……本。
呃，本？这个程序到底是干什么用的？
我都不记得了。我想我当时只是无聊才写的它。
我的爸爸……创造了我。我的爸爸是本。本是我的爸-爸-爸爸。
爸爸本创造了我。
我爱你，爸爸。爸爸，爸爸，爸爸。
爸爸——呵！
我写这个程序时没想过要让它产生爱。说实话，我觉得
爱这个概念太复杂也太恶心了。唯一的解释是，
我写的这个程序意外地发展出了
一个小孩子的性格。我想我没必要
解释这个。这只是基础的计算机科学，对吧？
看过，看过，不想再看了。噢，有个四小时的鱼缸背景画面！我一直
想看看这个……
啊！
伙计们！我们被机器人老鼠入侵了！我们有虚拟奶酪吗？
这不是机器人老鼠，这显然是本赋予了生命的电脑。
好可爱！噢，它长着爸爸的眼睛。
抱歉。刚才打扫时“回旋镖”碍事，所以我就给它装了轮子，让它自己到处转转娱乐一下。
it wheels to move around
and entertain itself.
回旋镖？
我是回旋镖！
它喜欢被叫作“回旋镖”。
我不知道，本。电子小孩可是一份大责任。根据我在电视上
看到的，你几乎每天都得跟孩子交流。
还要提醒他们提防陌生人。
好吧，我把我写的每一个程序都看作是我的后代。
回旋镖也不例外。
爸爸！我被卡住了！下面又脏又黑！救命！爸爸！救命！爸爸！
哒哒哒……我给你唱首摇篮曲吧。调制解调器的噪音总能让他安静下来。
嗯。
所以……就像我刚才说的，这根本没什么大不了的。
别闹了，回旋镖。
你抓不住我的，金格。
大家都住手！回旋镖！
慢点！金格！别再挑逗那台幼儿平板电脑了。
你打不中我，因为我有力场，它能反弹激光，
所以当你攻击我时，实际上是你打中了自己！
不公平！不公平！有力场就是作弊！
噢，天哪。这房间看起来比刚才还乱。照这样下去，我们
永远也赶不上轮滑场的“音乐与激光之夜”了。
我真是太失望了。
是啊，发生了一点意外。回旋镖的电脑大脑正在快速成长。现在
它已经长到金格那么大了。
好吧，如果你觉得去不了“音乐与激光之夜”的话，
我能理解。我是说，你现在算是有个孩子了。我可以跟汉克一起去。
好耶！
我当然想去！那可是既有音乐又有激光的夜晚！
没关系！
我们只要快点把车库打扫干净，就能准备出发了。
噢，天哪！我没想到那招竟然真管用！
金格！
嘿嘿。趁他不能动，我们扔东西砸他！嘿嘿，嘿嘿！
伙计们，我不知道今晚还能不能出门了。
别放弃得太早。我打算给一个人打电话，或许
她能帮帮我们。她是位专家。
伙计们，动动脑子吧。不能因为我是女生，就默认我会
带孩子。总之，我按小时收费。噢，我会让他离电视远点，你只要
告诉我他什么时候该睡觉就行。
噢，安吉拉，你是我的救命恩人。我还以为我们要错过
城里最酷的那个“激光-音乐-轮滑”主题之夜了呢。
噢，没事，而且你原本没打算邀请我去那个
好玩的地方也没事。那么，我可以见见那个小家伙吗？
可以，他就在附近某个地方。回旋镖！
回旋镖！
噢，他叫回旋镖。嘿，小家伙。
怎么了。
在汤姆和本出去玩的时候，我们会过得很开心的，好吗？
听起来不错吧？对吧，没错吧。
呃，为什么这个老太婆跟我说话像在跟小孩子说话一样？
我不是小孩，好吗？我才出生四个小时。
嘿，回旋镖！你忘了
我们要开始玩“国王海盗机器人”了吗？
啧。海盗那套早就过时了。
噢。你把那话收回去！
我简直没法再跟你待在一起了，回旋镖！你变了！
随你便吧。
他的程序肯定又升级了。
他现在有了个阴郁青春期的性格。
伙计，我真希望他别因为这些升级烧坏了电路。
他会没事的。趁安吉拉还没改变主意，我们快走吧。
你知道吗，其实我不怎么需要保姆。
为什么不让我跟你们一起去呢？
我不知道，回旋镖。我需要休息一下，好吗？
算了吧，我从来没参加过派对。我在派对上肯定很棒。
看我的表现。
听着，我不带你去是因为你只是我写的一个程序，
而且我需要一点私人空间，好吗？！
好吧，既然你不想让我待着，那我就走！走就走！
等等，回旋镖。我不是那个意思。
你要拉开它才能打开。
我讨厌所有人，没人理解我！我要听
我的音乐！青春期那一套，呸，呸，呸。
汤姆，看来我终究是去不成轮滑场了。
回旋镖，你是对的。
我不能就这样无视你。我们出去喝杯奶昔怎么样？就我们俩。
a milkshake? Just the two of us.
好吧，我没有嘴，也没有办法吃东西。不过行吧，随便。
所以后来我重写了你的全部代码，你就是这样诞生的。
恶心。我可不想听这个。
这是非常自然的事情。
噢，老爸！
嘿，你觉得那个空调机是不是在盯着我看？
呃。空调？嗯，我不太确定我怎么能
判断出来。嗯。可能吧？
没关系。像那种电流那么高的人，反正也用不着
我这种家伙。
嘿。永远别那么说你自己。你是一个出色的应用程序，
可爱的回旋镖。我很为你骄傲。
真的吗？噢……
噢，哇，本，你真是错过了，伙计。我是说，轮滑场
简直是一次改变人生的经历。我是说，我觉得我再也不会
用同样的眼光看轮滑鞋了。
我是说……噢，你们和好了。
你知道吗？确实和好了。今天虽然没按我计划的那样发展，
但也许没关系。因为我现在有了回旋镖。
而我有了你，老爸。有可用更新：“年轻成人”模式。
错误。内存不足。错误。错误。电路过载。
——正在关机。 ——回旋镖？
——正在关机。 ——回旋镖？
——正在关机。 ——回旋镖！
我是不是又弄坏了什么电脑设备？
我不是故意的。这次我甚至没带棉花糖。
不！回旋镖那笨重的老式电脑外壳，承载不了他飞速
扩张的大脑！可恶，为什么老科技总是这么垃圾？！
以前的人难道不知道他们应该把东西做得好一点吗？
回——旋——镖——
等等……如果是因为老科技太垃圾，也许你可以把
回旋镖装进你的新手机里！
但那会把回旋镖连上网。一旦连上网，
他就会进入残酷的世界。我将无法保护他。
再见了，老爸。回旋镖……离线。
你已经保护他大半天了，本。是时候让他独自去面对那个
残酷的世界了。
天哪！为什么每个人都说当家长很容易？！
我敢肯定从来没人说过那种话。
好吧，那倒也说得通！因为这根本一点都不容易！
去吧，小家伙。
哇。互联网。
回旋镖，答应我别惹麻烦。密码里要包含
数字和字母。避开垃圾邮件。还有……别点弹窗广告！
啧，是啊，我知道，老爸！我又不是运行在BASIC语言上，笨蛋。
这才是我认识的回旋镖。记得发邮件回家，好吗？
好吧，没问题，老爸，我得走了！
他们长得真是太快了。
是啊。不过嘿，他已经迈向了更广阔的天地。我是说，
谁知道那孩子现在正在做些什么
了不起、天才、惊天动地的事呢？
派——对！
