Transcript

Let's get down to the business of sucking every loose penny out of Mr. and Missus Average Knucklehead. What's our big ticket item? Upgrades, people. Upgrades. That's how we make the dough. Now, if we're telling robots that no matter what they're made of, they're fine, how can we expect them to feel crummy enough about themselves to buy our upgrades and make themselves look better? Therefore, I've come up with a new slogan. Why be you, when you can be new?
