<strong>Eric</strong><br/><br/>The faces slowly cycled through again, the same ones as before. "Well, no crab," Rachel said. "I didn't pose for that either."<br/><br/>The images flashed onto the screen silently, the only sound in the room Eric munching his nachos.<br/><br/>The speakers in the theater suddenly crackled and the screen went black, then a movie began.

The movie is still playing, projected now partly across the body of the eight-foot-tall robot, who is now actually standing on stage in the theater.<br/><br/>"Oh crap," Rachel gasped, dropping her hot dog wrapper.
