MICHAEL: Calm down, calm down. Did not you want a little brother?
Zaida looks surprised.
ZAIDA: What have you brought, darling?
RAMÓN: Now you will see.Ramon opens the box and from this appears the figure of a robot with the same stature of a still child. Ramon raises the kid's T-shirt, he plays behind this how if he trasteara a keyboard. The robot opens its eyes.
MICHAEL: Is he my brother? RAMON (Laughing): No, it was a joke. This is a cleansing genius as they call it in Japan. Miguel and Zaida look at him in surprise. ZAIDA: But what is it? RAMÓN: It's a cleaning robot, it looks like a child. MIGUEL: But is it a child? RAMÓN: It seems, but it's designed to clean, it's like the perfect son. MIGUEL: Ehh. But can you speak? RAMÓN: Yes.

ZAIDA: And why do not you stay in the room? Ramon enters the room. RAMÓN: And because you do not stay Miguel playing in the room with the console, you insisted that I bought you, and you let the robot to stay with mommy cleaning. MIGUEL: But Robotin is my friend, I can not do that to him. RAMON: But you let him help Mom, if he does not care. MIGUEL: Of course he cares, he is like I do not want to clean, he has a better time playing with me. RAMÓN: To see Miguel, he is not like you. I bought it to help your mother and that's how it will be, then if that can play with you. MIGUEL (Screaming): But that's not fair. RAMÓN: It's over.
