Come on, wake up.
It's show time.
See...
Huh?
Where am I?
I'm Al!
The short, fat one who's always starving!
I'm Pull!
The tall, skinny one who's stuck up!
We're the two friends!
Where am I?
Where are you?
Ta... Da!
This is the home of smiles!
Welcome to Smile Land!
Smile?
The Girl with a Smile
This is Smile Land...
the amusement city dedicated to...
putting a permanent smile on all our customers' faces.
Right!
The entire town is a fantastic amusement park.
That's why the folks here are always laughing and having fun!
Of course, in order to keep a smile on their faces...
they're always coming up with new animals and characters.
And the old attractions and cast members...
are gone before you know it.
And that's why...
there's this place, the garbage dump!
That was a close one.
By the way, what's your name, young lady?
Why did you come here?
I'm Pino.
I was on a trip with Vince and Re-I. We were riding the Rabbit together.
Vince?
Re-I?
You know them?
Never heard of them!
We're the two friends!
I wonder if I've been thrown away too.
What am I gonna do?
What to do, what to do...
Oh, this is a real pickle...
Right!
When in trouble, ask for help!
That's right!
Wejust happen to be in trouble too.
Good timing. Now we're all in a mess together.
What are you going to ask for?
There's only one thing!
He's the creator of Smile Land...
we'll ask Will B. Good to help us.
Stick to the script, will you?
We don't have time for this.
What are you, an informant?
A peeping tom.
Oh, so you're ignoring me?
Well, I may just be a bug, but listen to me!
Who are you?
Oh, that's right! I need to talk to you.
Listen, lady...
this story won't go anywhere if you keep hanging out with those guys.
My goodness, I've been looking all over for you!
How the heck did you end up here?
I'm Rogi the Cricket. Nice to meet you.
I'm looking for Vince and Re-I.
That's what I thought!
You know them?
Of course!
Come with me to Will B. Good's place, you'll find out where they are.
Let's go!
But...
- Well, this is how it is... - Let's see...
Their roles in this show...
are over.
Don't worry about the details.
It's just like a spider's thread.
Grab on!
You lost the cards you wrote your messages on.
That's OK.
We realized simply asking for help won't work.
So we're taking action.
Hey now, why are you guys following us?
We're going to see Will B. Good...
to find out why we were born.
He's sure to know since he's the one who made us.
This is nonsense.
You've completely changed what you said you're doing.
And now you're ignoring me again.
We were born, so we must be here for a reason.
We have to find out the reason from him.
A reason...
At any rate...
This has nothing to do with you two.
Now, get out of here!
We want to go too.
We want to go.
Bring Al and Pull along too, please!
We should have left them there.
Tell you what.
They can come along with us...
but in exchange, I want you to tell me something.
What?
Your friend, Vince, what kind of person is he?
He's kind to me, so that's why I love him.
And Vince loves Re-I, so that's why I love her.
I didn't mean that sort of thing.
I meant his...
characteristics. Yes, that's it.
Well, he's always worrying about things, but...
Sometimes, all of a sudden, he shifts and becomes big and strong.
I knew it.
And what about his weaknesses?
Hey!
Pino!
Over here.
Come take a look.
Damn! We don't have time for this.
That was scary!
Surprised you, didn't it?
It's great to be a customer!
Looks like fun, doesn't it?
Wish I could be a customer.
It sure does! I wish I could be a customer!
We're the three friends!
Oh, never mind all that!
We need to hurry up and get to Mr. Good's place!
Hey, don't go outside!
It's so exciting!
It sure is.
It is indeed!
These things are all over the place, aren't there?
It's to let everyone know that the end of the world is coming.
Well, that's got nothing to do with us, right?
You idiot!
"Everyone" includes you and me too!
It's the end of the world!
Armageddon is coming soon.
Are you ignoring me again?!
I heard Mr. Good's been locked up in his room...
working on the story for a really long time.
But for some reason he hasn't made any headway.
Oh, jeez...
forget about that, will you?
Let's hurry up and get to Will's place.
Come on!
Hello, there.
Do you all have passes?
No.
Um...
In that case, you can't ride for free.
I told you.
Pino!
Run!
Catch her!
Wait up!
This is fun!
Stop trying to get away.
Look at the girl.
Awesome!
Her smile...
it's so natural.
I've never seen a smile like that.
Not only that...
it's not forced or anything.
Pino...
The game is over!
Huh?
Hey! Oh, no!
Pino!
No!
There's no ad-libbing in my world!
That was incredible, Pino.
It looked like fun, Pino.
It was fun, Pino.
It reminded me of when my Papa took me to the shopping mall a long time ago.
You have a Papa even though you're a machine?
But I haven't seen him for a real long time.
Poor thing.
Do you miss your Papa?
Uh-uh. I'm OK now.
How come? It's your Papa, right?
I have some close friends now. That's why.
That would be Vince and...
Re-I, huh?
I hope you get to see them.
Yeah.
What are you guys going to do after you see Mr. Good?
The attraction we lived in is gone now too...
Oh, then I want to come back as a customer.
I was just about to say I wanted to be a customer too!
You keep changing what you want to do.
Not that you're even listening.
A customer?
That way...
we could always be smiling.
Do you realize the situation you're in?
Here you go, Sergeant Hound.
Yes.
Let's see here.
Now who's who?
We'll start with the little guy.
Rogi, huh?
A surveillance-type AutoReiv, huh?
And you two, Al and Pull.
You're both entertainment-type AutoReivs.
Says you're members of the "Commedia dell'arte" cast?
Here.
What?!
"Commedia dell'arte" was shut down the other day?
Then you two should have already been thrown in the garbage.
Which brings us to the biggest problem of all.
We don't have any record of you.
Pino!
You're who?
Pino is Pino!
My god, she's...
She's smiling spontaneously!
Keep calm, Lieutenant Meow!
But...!
It certainly is an awfully natural smile, isn't it?
It must be a new function.
I gained a soul after meeting my friends Vince and Re-I.
That's why I smile when I'm happy.
Oh, smile for me!
You're dazzling!
Oh, brother! We don't have time for this!
Listen, you nitwits!
Our story won't go anywhere if we keep adding complications!
I guess we're gonna skip the twist and jump straight to the resolution!
What's this?
Welcome to my country, Smile Land.
Will B. Good!
Our creator!
Yes, my name is Will B. Good.
This is the place I built for everyone...
so they could all spend their lives smiling.
While it may look easy...
the truth is, it's an extremely difficult thing to do.
Anyone can create a smile that lasts for a short time.
The hard part is keeping the smile going.
And, did you know...
when people are startled to death...
or so sad that they cry until their tears run dry...
even then they can smile.
That's why...
in order to create the perfect smile...
you must have good control over things.
And that's why I created Smile Land.
The perfect smile.
The smile you create that must be protected.
The wonderful smile that brings happiness to the world.
I wanted a place where people could forget about reality.
A place where they wouldn't feel the least bit frightened, until it was all over.
Yes.
The people in this town enjoy themselves here...
from the moment they're born until the day they die.
And when the end of the world comes, they won't know a thing.
They'll bejust as happy as ever.
Isn't that amazing?
That's amazing!
Good, good, Pino.
You wanted to see Vince and Re-I, right?
You know about that?
I know about everything...
because I'm the Creator.
But first, I was hoping you might tell me a little something.
What is Vincent's...
no, I mean Ergo Proxy's weakness?
That's strange.
He said he knew everything.
Wort you tell me? Lt'll be our little secret.
I don't know.
Don't you want to see them?
I do.
Then tell me.
I don't really know.
Then do you know about his treasure, perhaps?
Come on, you remember. Very g-good.
Vince's treasure...
I don't know!
Really?
Really.
I see.
That's too bad.
If only you had Vince's treasure...
I could grant you anything you asked for.
That's a lie.
Good. Good.
Well then, look behind you.
Who are you?
What are you talking about? It's us!
Al and Pull.
He turned us into customers.
I granted them their wish.
You see?
Well then, next I'll grant you your wish, Pino.
So, here...
I created the Smile Paradise. You can trust me.
Come on!
There's something phony about that smile, isn't there?
What?
Compared to Pino's smile which was so spontaneous.
It seems... superficial.
Like it's been painted on.
It seems kind of shallow.
It's fake!
It's not like Pino's smile at all.
Silence!
How dare you criticize me...
when I created you characters in the first place?
Don't get smart with me!
Just do as I say, all right!
You're always messing things up with your stupid ad-libbing!
You want to know the reason why you were born?
There is none!
You're all a bunch of piddling rejects.
You're completely useless, you scum of the earth!
Huh? What's that?
This is fun!
Hold on...
We're out of time.
Please, Pino, tell Vince and Re-I not to come here.
You see, Vincent is about to come here.
We're both Proxies, so when the two of us meet...
Vincent and I will have to fight each other.
You will?
Yes.
And if we do...
we won't be able to live in peace here anymore.
Everyone will die?
Yes.
That's why I interfered with your dream and tried to find out Vince's weakness.
But it didn't work.
This is a dream?
It is a dream, and not a dream.
Really?
You're trying to trick her again, aren't you?
No! It's the truth.
Please believe me.
Either way, the world will soon be over.
That's our fate.
But until then...
I want to go on living quietly here with a smile.
I don't want to fight anymore.
Pino, please, do it for us too.
We want to keep on smiling too.
Because you taught us to smile spontaneously.
My friends.
I can hear the pulse of the awakening.
It won't be long now...
Huh?
They're not here.
Maybe I handed them over.
Vince!
Are you done charging your battery?
Vince, get down for a moment, OK?
What is it?
It's there.
Are you still half asleep?
Look! There's a light up ahead.
Maybe it's a town.
It'd be great if we could get some supplies.
It would be nice just to rest.
A town? Could it be...?
No! We can't go there!
Have you got a short or something?
No!
Stop making silly demands.
I want to save my friends.
Friends?
Please!
If you go there, something bad will happen.
Pino knows.
It won't be good.
Leave it alone.
Please, Vince? Trust me.
All right.
Vince!
Vincent!
And so, Smile Land was saved by a girl.
Thank you, girl with a smile.
Thank you, Pino!
A tedious paradise that brings back memories.
It's warm and pleasant as we chart our way.
Sacred Eye of the Void Goodbye Vincent.
