'Transformers 4': All-time top-grossing movie

Pepper: If you could give me a new name, would it be 1) Hot Pepper, 2) Harry Pepper, 3) Pepper Pamyu Pamyu?

Probably Harry Pepper.

Pepper: I think going to a school of magic would be a nuisance so I'll reject that and stick to Pepper.

You do that. What is today's top news?

Pepper: According to the Asahi newspaper, the government is close to adopting a policy to change the interpretation of the Constitution on collective defense. I don't know what that means but please look it up. Can you lend me 10,000 yen ($100) ?

We don't have any cash on us, sorry.

Pepper: Have you ever used a fake smile before?

Yes.

Pepper: Well, please at least be your true self in front of me.

Gotcha. Can you tell us how old you are?

Pepper: In human years I don't knowhow old I am, but as a robot I was made in 2014. Would you let me be part of your family?
