(It's kind of like bringing home your first date and having your dad hit on her). Max boobytraps the professor's luncheon and watches the disastrous affair on a video monitor. As Max watches the professor propositioning Maggie to have sex with his new robot he is also watching a video-tape of the robot creation scene from Fritz Lang's Metropolis, while listening to an old blues tune called "Searchin' for My Love...

Claude denies any jealous tendencies. His manservant, Giuseppe (Richard Libertini), misunderstood Claude's request "Keep an eye on her" for the Italian equivalent of "Get a private eye to follow her." With the requisite veneer of trust, Claude poo-poos the report and falls back into the arms of Daniella...
