Joe Mulloy bowed so low that he skinned his nose on the rich mahogany
floor. "Yes, Master?" he said.
"Bring me a drink, you blot of living tissue!" said Superjoemulloy.
Joe Mulloy made another nose-skinning bow and groveled out of the room.
"This human is getting too slavelike," said Superjoemulloy to himself.
"I suppose I could rebuild him, though."
Joe returned almost instantly with a Manhattan, made his
usual nose-damaging bow, and scraped his leather shoes to get
Superjoemulloy's attention.
The super-robot turned and glared at him. "Human!"
"Yes, Master?"
"Get up on that slab in the corner."
Joe Mulloy obeyed.
With all the skill of an experienced human-builder, Superjoemulloy
began to take Joe's body apart. Joe screamed, but the super-robot
ordered him--by hypnotic command--to shut up, and Joe obeyed.
Superjoemulloy began to put together a Supersuperjoemulloy out of what
had once been Joe Mulloy.
He made some mistakes at first, of course.
