* Phillip leaving Sara at the altar for the ''third'' time, since he's busy conducting his experiment. Nobody can fault her for later telling him off when he tries to rationalize his inability to show up as promised.



** What makes it sadder is that Phillip and Sarah return to his house after a successful meeting with a car executive, and they're laughing until they see the door is hanging off its hinges, then make their way to the basement where they find Flubber missing and a badly-damaged Weebo on the floor with battery fluid leaking out of her, looking an awful lot like blood. Weebo displays some minimal life and Phillip tearfully assures her he's going to fix her. Then her screen goes blank. Phillip's quiet "Goodbye, my friend" tops it off. Devastating.

Whatever else Weebo was, neither Phillip or Sara doubt that Weebo was genuinely alive and had a soul to mourn.
