1	ARTHUR: Ever notice how much the Japanese love robots? Like, WAY more than other cultures? SHELDON: It makes sense, if you think about it.	OUTSIDE (Generic: forest, trees, etc.)
2	SHELDON: Japan’s Shinto religion allows for natural AND man-made objects to have a spirit. So, where westerners might see a robot as “unnatural,” the Japanese see them almost as living things. ARTHUR	OUTSIDE (Generic: forest, trees, etc.)
3	SHELDON: Plus, the Japanese have a huge fear of body odors, liquids and smells. So a robot that doesn’t sneeze, sweat or burp is almost the ideal human.	OUTSIDE (Generic: forest, trees, etc.)
4	SHELDON: And in a culture with so many rules on politeness, it’s probably comforting to have a robot that follows perfect protocol… But which won’t judge YOU if you slip up.	OUTSIDE (Generic: forest, trees, etc.)
5	SHELDON: And of course there’s the popular cartoon-robot “Astro Boy,” which ARTHUR: ALRIGHT ALREADY! SHEESH!	OUTSIDE (Generic: forest, trees, etc.)
6	ARTHUR: If I wanted a long, rambling answer that didn’t really make sense, I’d look it up on Wikipedia. SHELDON: THAT IS THE MOST HURTFUL THING YOU HAVE EVER SAID.	OUTSIDE (Generic: forest, trees, etc.)
