The next day, by coincidence, an unmanned spaceship arrives on the planetary surface, bringing a new [[robot]], E.V.E: Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. | | One day, WALL-E, through his rummaging, finds something in a boot filled with dirt--a [[plant]]!

| − | WALL-E, seeing her for the first time is elated and in love; a full montage ensues as he tries, to no success, to impress E.V.E. However, he finally gets the courage to introduce himself, and during a sand (or junk) storm, takes her for cover inside his hangar. There, he shows her many novelties he has found--a Rubik cube and [[light]] bulb for two--and tries to dance with her to the music from [[Hello, Dolly!]]. | + | WALL-E, seeing her for the first time is elated and in love; a full montage ensues as he tries, to no success, to impress E.V.E.

| | However, after a while, he decides to show her the plant; she almost overloads and shuts down, disconnecting the power in WALL-E's hangar. Over the next few days, he tries, unsuccessfully, to wake her up, usually getting electrocuted in the process. | | However, after a while, he decides to show her the plant; she almost overloads and shuts down, disconnecting the power in WALL-E's hangar.
