(After Arnold watched the commercial, he dialed a phone to the shop owner, Bruce)
A:Can I have a free trial of the Robot Beauty here?
B:Sure, and if you book it now, you will be able to receive it tomorrow.
A:Great! I’d like to get a try.
(The next day,Arnoldwas lying down on his bed. The doorbell rings.)
A:Who is it?
C:Express delivery.
(Arnoldran to answer the door. He opened the door and signed to receive the shipment which was a rectangular box. After he carried the heavy box inside the room, he opened it. Opening the upper lid, he was scared to see a man lying inside the box. He rushed back to his room in a flustered and exasperated way and made a phone call to the shop owner again.)
A:What the hell are you doing? Aren’t you saying it’s a robot beauty? It’s not a belle! It’s a genuine hunk (tough guy)!
(However, the other side gave an irrelevant answer.)
B:I just found the cell phone on the sidewalk. Do you know its owner? Please notify him to take it back.
(While Arnoldwas making a call, the tough guy lying inside the box got out of it and sneakily headed to the bathroom. Arnoldwent back to the doorway to check the box, but only to find the tough guy Derek inside the box was gone. Arnold heard something strange from the bathroom, so he went to see what was happening. It turned out to be the tough guy Derek vigorously scrubbing the toilet. They had a fighting.)
A:What are you doing here? You are absolutely not a robot beauty!
D:I don’t want to tell you more moonshine. I just want to help you clean the toilet here.
A:Who on earth are you?
D:Do you know that your girlfriend Jenny will break up with you?
A:How could it be? Our relationship has always been good.
D:You have always had a good relationship? Aren't you always squabbling with her?
A:That's just trivial.
D:Because she dislikes you are a filthy slob, and you don't stress personal hygiene.
A:How do you know about it?
D:Because I am exactly you! She told you to clean the toilet three days ago, but you ignored her. That means you don't respect her. Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day you first met her. Her initial plan was to give you a surprise, so she prepared a cake for you. You should have spent a happy day. However, she came back, saw the dirty toilet and got angry.
(A sideshow)
(While Arnoldwas working at his desk, Jenny appeared at the doorway with a cake and greeted Arnold.)
J:Surprise!
(When Jenny went to check the bathroom, she was angry to find that the toilet was dirty and had a foul smell.)
J:Why don’t you clean the toilet? It’s dirty and has a foul smell. I have told many times to wash it. But you close your ears. I’m fed up with you! Let’s break up!
A:Jenny! Don’t leave me alone! Come back!
(Back to continue the original scene)
D:I had been missing her for five years, but she never returned. Then, someone invented the time machine. I spent a lot of money on one. I used it to get me back here for a few days. I must take the time machine with me, or it won’t be meaningful if I go back to 2016. Therefore, that’s why I’m back here now!
(Derek showedArnolda small package of cleaning gel “Mr. Muscle” and a tube. And Derek demonstrated how to use it.)
A:How do you use it?
D:That's easy. Take out the tube first, and fill the cleaning gel “Mr. Muscle” into the tube. Then squeeze it from the bottom. Every time you squeeze the tube hard, a bit of gel will come out. Then drip the gel into the toilet and flush it. The condensed gel will clean the toilet completely. One Mr. Muscle has six gels. You can flush 500 times in total. It can last for about one and a half months. Whether you flush it or not, the gelatinous foam will keep a fresh smell. It will make your life more free and easy.
D:It's time for me to go. I hope that Jenny will be with me when I come back.
A:Boss! Don't worry! From now on, I will mend my ways.
(Arnoldwas affected by Derek’s kindness and concern, so they embraced each other warmly to show their mutual trust. As they were embracing each other,Arnold’s girlfriend Jenny came in the doorway with a cake.)
J:Surprise! ….
J:You! ...
(As soon as Jenny was shocked to see the awful scene, she screamed out and tried to rush out of the room. Arnoldsaw her and chased to retrieve her right away.)
A:Listen to my explanation! Listen to me!
J:I've been with you too long. I hadn't expected you to be such a sloppy person. I'm really blind. I don't want to see you anymore!
A:Listen to my explanation! Listen to my explanation! But the truth is not what you think.
J:I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Get out of here! I want to break off with you!
(Jenny slammed shut the door fiercely and ran away.)
