And they were going to kill him for it. Burt is a trillion dollars worth of robot - with a ten-minute gap in his programming that renders him virtually useless to his creators. Still, since coming to Earth, he has managed to find a snappy new set of clothes, a cure for cancer, and a sixteen-year-old girlfriend.
