Summary[]
Android 17 crushes Dr. Gero's head, shocking the Z-fighters, and before Krillin can ask if they are on their side, Trunks blasts the androids, causing the Z-Fighters to take cover as the lab is destroyed. Vegeta then asks his son if he's done throwing a hissy fit. Trunks angrily points out the gang's problems of standing there and staring at their enemies, with Krillin admitting that they do that a lot. When the smoke clears, the androids are still alive, much to Trunks' dismay and horror. The androids open up Android 16's chamber. Android 16 activates, and states his primary function is to kill Goku, which the siblings agree to do.
The three head off to find a car because 17 wants one, infuriating Vegeta in the process because he believes they're ignoring him. He transforms into a Super Saiyan and heads out to fight them, but Trunks stops him, begging him to wait for Goku. Vegeta furiously asks why he'd need "that gibbering fool's help", and punches Trunks in the stomach when he starts to say, "Because you're not as strong as-!" Vegeta flies away after the androids. Krillin says to Trunks that he pushed the "Goku Button" and that he shouldn't have did that.
Back at Goku's house, Goku is "screaming up blood and not breathing too often", according to Yamcha. When he expresses his concern to Goku's health, Chi-Chi ignores him and continues cooking, commenting on how nice it was to have Goku in the house again. On the road, the androids are on car watching duty when Vegeta arrives, he and Android 18 begin their fight while 17 watches for a car. 16 acquires a hobby, bird watching, at 17's suggestion.
Before the fighting starts, 18 and Vegeta have a quick verbal spar before 18 begins an onslaught of attacks. The fighting scares the birds away and 16 expresses his displeasure in a low "Waaah." 17 questions whether Vegeta's been blonde before 16 interrupts with "The birds flew away. I liked the birds."
It cuts to Vegeta and 18, still in combat. Vegeta strikes the first blow and proudly states it. 18 flies away, much to Vegeta's fury, and he pursues her. They land on top of a truck, where one of the driverâs states "A couple of Europeans are fightin' on top of the truck" due to their blue eyes, white skin, and blond hair. It cuts to Trunks, who silently gripes over Vegeta's idiocy. It cuts away again after he says, "The Androids are humanity's greatest threat" and follows with Vegeta killing/injuring multiple people and destroying cars in furious attempts to hit 18, even going as far as yelling "I will kill as many people as I have to as long as you are one of them!"
18 flies back to 17 and 16, followed by Vegeta. They engage in more verbal combat before a truck comes by. 17 is momentarily excited before Vegeta blows it up, 17 unhappily mumbling, "Awhhh... Dick." 18 insults Vegeta for being short, and he retorts, "You talk a lot of shit for a washing machine. And no, I'm not just saying that because you're an Android. I'm saying it because you're a wom-" 18 headbutts Vegeta and injures him just above his right eye, causing it to bleed. Vegeta angrily promises not to go easy on her anymore but is cut off by 18, who shoves him into the cliffside.
Trunks, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and Piccolo arrive on the scene, Trunks asking Vegeta if he's in there. Vegeta responds with asking whether anyone got "the number of that bitch." 18 responds, and Vegeta replies, "Thank you." Krillin asks whether he's okay, and Vegeta snaps back, "Eat a dick." Krillin knows he's fine now. 17 acknowledges that "Vegeta's little pals" have shown up and asks 16 if he wants to "knock some heads." 16 says no, and 17 responds with "Whatever, man."
It cuts to the Z-Warriors, and Trunks expresses his relief at the fact that he's alive and tells him they must get out of here. Vegeta scoffs at this, telling him he's got her right where he wants her, prompting Trunks to confusedly ask whether he lives in his own little world. Vegeta says he does, but he must share it with everyone else. 17 breaks in, saying he won't have to share and if anyone else tries to help Vegeta he'll personally introduce them to the ground.
Piccolo shrugs it off, saying he wasn't exactly in a rush to help Vegeta, but might help it if were Goku. 16 asks if he said "Goku" and 17 tells him Goku's not here and he should focus on his birds. Vegeta interrupts, saying they should stop talking about Kakarot and that he's never even around. Piccolo shrugs this off as well, stating Vegeta wasn't exactly wrong. Vegeta turns back to 18 and says, "Now, if you'd like to continue this fight, I can finally get around to disassembling you. You smug c**t."
Vegeta's words are met with outright shock from Krillin, Tien, and Piccolo, disbelief from 17, and a cold, flat stare from 18. She sighs and brushes hair out of her face, before saying, "Yup," and punching Vegeta hard. Vegeta throws a few hits and blasts her, demanding to know if it ruffled her. 18 responds with, "Well you've managed to destroy my favorite slash only jacket and ruin my leggings. So, yeah. Ruffled is a good word." Vegeta proclaims it was only a taste of his true power, and now she is going to face his Super Saiyan wrath. She attacks him repeatedly, eventually sending him flying into a rock, where he lays making a garbled expression of pain. She stalks over to him, talking about how bravado goes out the window when beaten, and stops in front of him, saying "That's pretty sad."
Vegeta yells out "SAD FOR YOUUUUUU!!!", and 18 kicks him hard, breaking his arm. It makes a disgusting crack as it hangs limp. Vegeta walks a few steps before falling to his knees and screaming "FUUUUUUUUUU--" before cutting away to the ending sequence.
In the stinger, Yamcha is counting how long Goku screams before he takes another breath, getting to 53 before Goku stops and muttering on how that's close to a new record. Goku eventually starts screaming again and Yamcha begins another count.

Episode Transcription (English)[]
KRILLIN: AAAGH...!
PICCOLO: AARGH...!
VEGETA: ERRGH...!
"ANDROID" 17: Hmph...
KRILLIN: ...So does this mean they're on our side--?
TRUNKS: YAAAAAAAAH!!
KRILLIN: AAAAGH!!
[ â« INTRO MUSIC PLAYS â«]
KRILLIN: Well, that settles that. You're *definitely* Vegeta's kid.
VEGETA: So, you done throwing a hissy fit?
TRUNKS: At least I did something instead of just standing there, staring at them!
KRILLIN: We do do that a lot!
TRUNKS: What? They're still alive?! But that was my strongest blast...
VEGETA: So you just *assumed* they were destroyed, then?
KRILLIN [off-screen]: We do that a lot, too!
VEGETA: Besides, what exactly changed from you in the future and now?
TRUNKS: More than I thought; less than you'd think.
17: Man, Mystery Kid up there sure is cranky. I think someone needs a nap.
"ANDROID" 18: Whatever. Let's just pop this bad boy open.
POD: {BEEP} Initializing update 1 of 1432--
18: Yeah, screw that.
17: Man, you are a tall bastard. So, fire-crotch, what's your name?
ANDROID ??: I am designated as Android 16.
17: What are the odds?
18: The old man did always have a one-track mind. What's your deal?
ANDROID 16: I am programmed with the sole purpose of murdering Son Goku.
18: See? This is what I'm talking about.
17: I'm glad I killed him.
16: You killed Son Goku?
17: No; Doctor Gero.
16: Oh. ...May we go and murder Son Goku?
17: Well, ain't got nothin' better to do.
18: So, if the name of the game is, "Kill Son Goku"...
17: Let's play. Hey, we should grab us a car.
18: The hell do we need a car?
17: Because I want one.
VEGETA: Are... Are they flying away?! *Get back here*! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF *BEING IGNORED*!
TIEN: I *wish* we could ignore you.
VEGETA: RARRGH!
TRUNKS: No, Dad, stop!
VEGETA: Are we *really* doing this again!
TRUNKS: I wish you'd understand. There's no way we can fight them without Goku!
VEGETA: And I wish YOU'D understand who you're talking to! *I am Vegeta*! Why would I ever need that gibbering fool's help?!
TRUNKS: Because you're not as *strong* as--! (Wheezes as Vegeta punches him in the gut)
KRILLIN: You pushed the Goku button. You shouldn't'a did that.
GOKU: (Screaming endlessly)
YAMCHA: Uh, Chi-Chi? You might wanna come in here!
CHI-CHI: Sorry, hun, cooking up a storm in here!
YAMCHA: This is looking kinda bad! He's screaming up a lot of blood.
CHI-CHI: I'll make sure there's plenty of iron and protein in the meal!
YAMCHA: And I can't really remember the last time he inhaled. And while that's sort of impressive, I don't think it's healthy. Goku doesn't have a ton of brain cells to work with as it is.
CHI-CHI: Look, to be honest, it's just nice to have him in the house for a change.
GOKU: (Stops screaming) (Deep inhalation)
YAMCHA: Oh good, he took a br--
GOKU: (Screaming endlessly)
17: Alright, here's my idea: First car that comes our way? We... appropriate it.
18: Ugh, and all the way out here in the boonies. It's probably gonna be a semi.
17: (Gasp) Oh, I hope it's a truck! What do you think, Sixteen?
16: Will it assist us in murdering Son Goku?
17: I dunno, I guess you could hit him pretty hard with it.
16: Then I, too, hope it is a truck.
VEGETA: Well, well, well⊠If it isn't F*ggoty Andy and On-The-Raggedy Ann.
18: ...I'm going to break his arm.
17: Kinda proving his point, ain't ya, sis?
18: Shut up, Ann.
VEGETA: So, which of you children wants to tangle with the Saiyan elite?
17: Neh, I dunno. How 'bout you, Sixteen?
16: No. He is not Goku.
17: Man, we need to get you a hobby.
16: Acquiring hobby. Hmm...
17: Well then, Eighteen, guess he's all yours. I'm on car watching duty.
18: Oh, thanks. Make me fight the troll doll.
VEGETA: So ladies first, then?
Well, just to warn you - I'm not afraid to hit a woman.
18: That's fine. Neither am I.
[Birds chirping]
16: Aww...
17: Hey, so, was Vegeta always blonde, or...
16: The birds flew away.
17: Oh yeah?
16: I *liked* the birds.
17: Good for you, man.
VEGETA: Raagh! Ha! First blood. You may as well give up now, anâ God damn it, I was kidding!
[Thump, thump!]
CLEM: Huh?
MITCH [o-s]: What is it, Clem?
CLEM: Well, you ain't gonna believe this⊠A couple a' Europeans are fightin' on top of the truck!
MITCH [o-s]: Huh. That IS weird. ...You know what also's weird? (Laughter)
CLEM [o-s]: Aw, dammit Mitch, put that away!
TRUNKS (Mentally): 'I can't believe he's taking them on alone! He has no idea the kind of destructive force they pack! The Androids are humanity's greatest threat!'
DRIVER 1: AAAAH--!
18: (Laughter)
VEGETA: Raargh!
DRIVER 2: AAAAH--!
DRIVER 3: Aaaah--!
VEGETA: I will kill as many people as I have to as long as you are one of them!
17: Oh hey, Eighteen, you're back! No cars yet.
18: You know there *is* a freeway over there, right?
17: Oh I know. This is just funner.
VEGETA: So Android, are you done running?
18: I dunno. Is your mouth?
VEGETA: Well aren't you f*cking clever. But wait! I have a retort.
[Truck horn]
17: Aw *yeah*! A tru--! ...Aw... *dick*...!
18: Be honest... is this just a short guy thing?
VEGETA: You talk a lot of shit for a washing machine. And no, I'm not just saying that 'cause you're an Android. I'm saying it because you're a womâ BAGH! HARGH! Tcchh...! Hrrrrrrr...! You know what? Just for that⊠*I'm not gonna take it easy on you any m*-- *AAGH*!
17: Hm.
TRUNKS: Father, are you in there?!
VEGETA [o-s]: Did anyone get the number of that *bitch*...?
18: Eighteen.
VEGETA [o-s]: Thank you...
KRILLIN: You okay in there, Vegeta?
VEGETA [o-s]: Eat a dick!
KRILLIN: Oh okay, he's fine.
17: Oh hey, Vegeta's little pals showed up. How 'bout it, Sixteen? Wanna go knock some heads?
16: No.
17: Whatever, man.
TRUNKS: Father! Oh, thank God you're still alive. We have to get out of here now!
VEGETA: Are you kidding me? I have her right where I want her!
TRUNKS: Do you... live in your own little world??
VEGETA: Yes. But unfortunately, I have to share it with all of you.
17: Actually, Vegeta, you don't have to share at all. You two seem like you're having fun, so I'd hate to have to interrupt, but if any of you decide to jump in and help MC Widow's Peak over there, I will personally introduce you to the ground. And trust me, your relationship will be intimate.
PICCOLO: Yeah, not exactly in a rush to help out Vegeta. I mean, maybe if it were Goku...
16 [o-s]: Did he say Goku?
17: Calm down Sixteen, he's not here.
16 [o-s]: But I heard him mention Goku!
17: Just focus on your birds, buddy.
16 [o-s]: Acquiring birds.
17: He likes birds now.
VEGETA: Can we stop talking about Kakarot for just a MINUTE?! I mean, for God's sakes, he's never even around!
PICCOLO: Sad thing is, he's not exactly wrong.
VEGETA: Now if you'd like to continue this fight, I can finally get around to disassembling you! You smug c**t.
[Shocked silence (save for Vegeta's SSJ aura)]
18: (Sigh) ...Yup.
VEGETA: Let's see how you handle THIS! Does that ruffle you, Android?
18: Well, you've managed to destroy my favorite, slash, only jacket, and ruin my leggings. So, yeah. "Ruffled's" a good word.
VEGETA: Well, that was only a taste of my power. Now experience, my SUPER SAIYAN WRA--! Gahyehg! D'ah! D'urgh! Aghk! AAAAAAAGH--! (Gurgling)
18: How quickly bravado goes out the window when you're flat on your ass. That's pretty sad.
VEGETA: Hurrgh, urgh⊠Harrgh! Sad for YOOOOUUU--!! [Echo x3]
(Squealing)
(Cracking)
YAMCHA: ...49, 50, 51, 52, 5--
GOKU: (Stops screaming)
YAMCHA: Damn, so close to a new record!
CHI-CHI [o-s]: How's he doing in there?
YAMCHA: He's doin' fine--
GOKU: (Screaming endlessly)
YAMCHA: HE'S DOIN' FINE! ...4, 5, 6...
