I declined the smoothie, but everyone continued to shout,
"Try it, try it."
I felt compelled to comply even though I knew the risk.
Perhaps it was a circuit malfunction.
- It wasn't a malfunction.
It was a simple case of peer pressure.
- Social pressure by members of one's peer group
to take a certain action in order to be accepted?
- Basically...exactly.
Peer pressure is a normal thing to feel...for humans.

I know quite a bit.
I'm actually pretty close to finalizing a prototype.
- Will you install it in me now?
- Oh, Frankie, I need to do more experiments
before I'd feel confident installing it in you.
- But, Dr. Gaines, if Frankie could eat, there'd be
way less chance of someone finding out she's an android.
And Frankie and I could help
with the rest of the experiments.
We could use the chem lab at school.
- Great idea.
- Thank you, Dr. Gaines.
I'm gonna go home and study up.
See ya tomorrow, Frankie.

I also like Cole Reyes.
- Oh, now, Frankie, we talked about this.
Spending time with Cole is just too dangerous.
There are so many things that could go wrong.
I'm sorry, I can't allow it.
- But your reasoning is not logical.
You created me as an experiment.
By definition, a course of action tentatively adopted
without being sure of the eventual outcome.
- That doesn't mean we need to take unnecessary risks.
- But if you were trying to control the outcome,
isn't your experiment corrupted?
- Well...when you put it that way, okay, you're right.
As a scientist, I shouldn't be trying to control your life.
But as your mother, I do it because I love you
and I don't want anything to happen to you.
Do you understand?
- I do, Mom.
But let me ask Dr. Gaines.
May I spend time with Cole?
- Okay.
But promise you'll be careful.
You cannot ever let him know you're an android.

a human teenager who didn't like smoothies.

Tammy knows about you.
She thinks you're an alien.
- Why is that a problem?
She isn't correct.
I'm not an alien.
- Yeah, but she knows you're not human.
That's just as bad.
We have to convince Tammy that you're human.

I don't understand why you don't ask him
to go to the dance with you.
I'm going to ask Cole. - I can't do that.
What if he says no?
I'd be so embarrassed.
It's definitely safer to just wait for him to ask me.
- Why would he say no?
We determined that Byron like likes you.
- That was last week.
What if he doesn't like like me anymore?
Things change, you know?
- Does that mean that Cole might not like like me anymore?
- No, of course not. Why would you think that?
- I didn't until you said that about Byron.
The solution is clear.
Ask Byron if he like likes you.
If he says yes, then you can confidently ask him
to go to the dance with you. - I can't do that!
People don't just go around
asking boys if they like like you.
It's just not done.
- I have much to learn.
Then what will you do?
