[The video flicks on to reveal WALL-E staring intently. There is a dappled pattern of shadow and light on him, like the pattern of light coming through trees. WALL-E turns the camera to reveal that he's standing under a large, leafy elm tree.]

This is so beautiful...

Do you not have trees where you're from?

[scrapmetalmusic]

[WALL-E shakes his head] No. All the plants on Earth were long gone. In seven hundred years of work, I only ever saw one plant, and that was recent.

But this Earth has plants everywhere! I never realised how beautiful it was.

[respaces]

Ohhh, that's so sad! It must be amazing to see so much green everywhere.

Did you really work for seven hundred years?

Video

[scrapmetalmusic]

Oh yes. It was only supposed to be for five years, but the mess was much bigger than everyone else thought. Towards the end it was just me working all by myself, with just my cockroach for a friend. Even the other WALL-E units broke down after a while...

[respaces]

Oh nooo! I am so sorry! That must have been lonely.

[Wait what.]

Um, what is a "WALL-E" unit?

[scrapmetalmusic]

Waste Allocation Load Lifter, Earth-class. [He says this with some pride] We were made to gather up trash, compact it and use it to construct buildings.

It... it was lonely. For a very long time. I collected lots of things and found all sorts of interesting stuff while I worked, but I would've liked to meet more people. Like I'm doing now, actually...

Video

[respaces]

Oooh, that's...

[Kind of gross.]

Pretty cool!

I can imagine it was lonely. I am glad you get to meet all sorts of people now, though!

Video

[scrapmetalmusic]

Yes, I do like that part!

I'm WALL-E, by the way. What's your name?

Video

[respaces]

My name is Jade! It is nice to meet you, WALL-E!

Are you some kind of a robot?

Video

[scrapmetalmusic]

I am, but I don't appear to be here, which is weird. I can talk a lot more and I have a human body - that took a lot of getting used to. Not to mention that I'm taller than I was.

[respaces]

Oh!

[She laughs.]

Yes, that happens here! Do you like being human?

Video

[scrapmetalmusic]

It's... different. Fascinating, but different. I'll probably get used to it after a while. I'm not too worried about it though; there are a lot of things here to distract me.

Video

[respaces]

Yes, this place is very big and busy! But if you ever need any help, just let me know.

Video

[scrapmetalmusic]

I will! Thank you Jade.
