Morning.Copy !req
5. - We haven't seen you for a long time.
- Nice to see you again.Copy !req
6. - Did you have a pleasant flight?
- Very nice.Copy !req
7. Mr. Miller of Station Security
is supposed to meet me.Copy !req
8. - May I call him for you?
- Would you? Here he is.Copy !req
9. - Hello, Dr. Floyd.
- Hello, Miller.Copy !req
10. Sorry I'm late.
That's all right.Copy !req
11. It's nice to have you back.Copy !req
12. - Did you have a good flight?
- Very nice.Copy !req
13. - Shall we go through?
- Would you please use number 17?Copy !req
14. Thank you, Ms. Turner. This way.
Thank you.Copy !req
15. Welcome to Voiceprint Identification.Copy !req
16. When you see the red light go on,
please state in the following order:Copy !req
17. Your destination,
your nationality and your full name.Copy !req
18. Surname first, Christian name,
and initial.Copy !req
19. Moon. American. Floyd, Heywood R.Copy !req
20. Thank you. You are cleared through
Voiceprint Identification.Copy !req
21. Thank you.Copy !req
22. Have I got time for breakfast?
I think we can manage that.Copy !req
23. How long have I got?Copy !req
24. Your flight leaves
in an hour and 10 minutes.Copy !req
25. I've reserved a table for you
in the Earthlight Room.Copy !req
26. It's been seven or eight months
since you were here, hasn't it?Copy !req
27. Let's see. Yeah, about eight months.Copy !req
28. I suppose you saw the work
on the new section?Copy !req
29. Coming along great, huh?
Yeah, it's fine.Copy !req
30. Oh, wait.Copy !req
31. I've got to make a couple calls.
I'll meet you in the restaurant.Copy !req
32. - Dad?
- Hello.Copy !req
33. Hi, squirt.
What are you doing?Copy !req
34. Playing.Copy !req
35. Where's Mummy?Copy !req
36. Gone to shopping.Copy !req
37. - Who's taking care of you?
- Rachel.Copy !req
38. - May I speak to Rachel, please?
- She's gone to the bathroom.Copy !req
39. Are you coming
to my party tomorrow?Copy !req
40. I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I can't.Copy !req
41. Why not?Copy !req
42. Well, you know, Daddy's traveling.Copy !req
43. Very sorry about it, but I just can't.Copy !req
44. I'm going to send you
a very nice present, though.Copy !req
45. All right.Copy !req
46. - Anything special that you want?
- Yes.Copy !req
47. What?Copy !req
48. A telephone.Copy !req
49. We've got lots of telephones already.Copy !req
50. Can't you think of anything else
for your birthday? Something special?Copy !req
51. - Yes.
- What?Copy !req
52. A bush baby.Copy !req
53. A bush baby?
We'll have to see about that.Copy !req
54. I want you to tell Mummy
something for me. Will you remember?Copy !req
55. Tell Mummy that I telephoned. Okay?Copy !req
56. And that I'll try
to telephone again tomorrow.Copy !req
57. Now, will you tell her that?Copy !req
58. Yes.Copy !req
59. Okay, sweetheart.
Have a nice birthday tomorrow.Copy !req
60. All right.Copy !req
61. And have a nice birthday party
tomorrow too, huh?Copy !req
62. All right.Copy !req
63. Take care and be a good girl,
won't you?Copy !req
64. All right. Bye-bye.Copy !req
65. Bye-bye. Happy birthday.Copy !req
66. Elena, nice to see you again.
Heywood, what a surprise.Copy !req
67. You're looking wonderful.
You're looking well too.Copy !req
68. This is my friend,
Dr. Heywood Floyd.Copy !req
69. I'd like you to meet Dr. Kalinan.
How do you do?Copy !req
70. Dr. Stretyneva.
How do you do?Copy !req
71. And this is Dr. Andrei Smyslov.Copy !req
72. How do you do?
I've heard a lot about you.Copy !req
73. Do sit down.Copy !req
74. Well, we...
No, no, please.Copy !req
75. Thank you.Copy !req
76. Would you like a drink?
No, thank you.Copy !req
77. I haven't had breakfast yet.
Someone's meeting me in the restaurant.Copy !req
78. I'll just sit with you a moment.
Then I'll be off.Copy !req
79. Are you quite sure?
Quite sure, thank you.Copy !req
80. - Well, how's Gregor?
- He's fine.Copy !req
81. He's been doing underwater research
in the Baltic...Copy !req
82. so I'm afraid we don't see
very much of each other these days.Copy !req
83. - When you see him, give him my regards.
- Yes, of course.Copy !req
84. Well, where are you all off to?
Up or down?Copy !req
85. We're going home.Copy !req
86. We've spent three months calibrating
the new antenna at Tchalinko.Copy !req
87. - What about you?
- I'm on my way to Clavius.Copy !req
88. Oh, are you?Copy !req
89. Dr. Floyd, I hope you don't think
I'm being too inquisitive...Copy !req
90. but perhaps you can clear up the big
mystery about what is going on there.Copy !req
91. I'm afraid I don't know
what you mean.Copy !req
92. For the past two weeks...Copy !req
93. some extremely odd things
have been happening at Clavius.Copy !req
94. - Oh, really?
- Yes, yes.Copy !req
95. For one thing, when you phone the base,
all you get is a recording...Copy !req
96. which repeats that the phone lines
are temporarily out of order.Copy !req
97. Probably having some trouble
with their equipment.Copy !req
98. Yes.Copy !req
99. That's what we thought at first,
but it's been going on now for 10 days.Copy !req
100. You haven't been able to
contact anyone for 10 days?Copy !req
101. That's right.Copy !req
102. Oh, I see.Copy !req
103. There's another thing.
Two days ago, one of our rocket buses...Copy !req
104. was denied permission
for an emergency landing.Copy !req
105. That does sound odd.Copy !req
106. I'm afraid there's going to be
a bit of a row about it.Copy !req
107. Denying the men permission to land
violates the IAS Convention.Copy !req
108. Yes, of course.
Did the crew get back all right?Copy !req
109. - Fortunately, they did.
- Well, I'm glad about that.Copy !req
110. At the risk of pressing you on
a point you seem reticent to discuss...Copy !req
111. may I ask you
a straightforward question?Copy !req
112. Well, certainly.Copy !req
113. Frankly, we have had some
very reliable intelligence reports that...Copy !req
114. quite a serious epidemic
has broken out at Clavius.Copy !req
115. Something, apparently,
of an unknown origin.Copy !req
116. Is this, in fact, what has happened?Copy !req
117. I'm sorry, Dr. Smyslov, but...Copy !req
118. I'm really not at liberty
to discuss this.Copy !req
119. I understand.Copy !req
120. But this epidemic
could easily spread to our base.Copy !req
121. We should be given all the facts.Copy !req
122. Yes, I know.Copy !req
123. As I said,
I'm not at liberty to discuss it.Copy !req
124. Won't you change your mind
about that drink?Copy !req
125. No, I'm positive.
I really must be going.Copy !req
126. I hope you and your wife come
to the IAC Conference.Copy !req
127. I hope we can make it.Copy !req
128. If you do, bring that darling
little daughter with you.Copy !req
129. That'll depend on school vacations
and all that sort of thing.Copy !req
130. If we can, we will.Copy !req
131. You've got an invitation
if you ever get to the States.Copy !req
132. Gregor and I will look forward
to seeing you.Copy !req
133. Goodbye, Elena.Copy !req
134. It's been a pleasure meeting you all.
Dr. Smyslov.Copy !req
135. Whatever the reasons for your visit,
the very best of luck to you.Copy !req
136. Thank you.Copy !req
137. Ladies.Copy !req
138. Excuse me, Dr. Halvorsen.Copy !req
139. I'm through now.
Thank you very much, gentlemen.Copy !req
140. You're welcome.Copy !req
141. Well...Copy !req
142. I know you will all
want to join with me...Copy !req
143. in welcoming our distinguished
friend and colleague...Copy !req
144. from the National Council
of Astronautics, Dr. Heywood Floyd.Copy !req
145. Dr. Floyd has come up specially
to Clavius to be with us today.Copy !req
146. Before the briefing, he'd like
to have a few words with you.Copy !req
147. Dr. Floyd?Copy !req
148. Thank you, Dr. Halvorsen.Copy !req
149. Hi, everybody.
Nice to be back with you.Copy !req
150. First, I bring a personal message
from Dr. Howell...Copy !req
151. who has asked me to convey
his deep appreciation...Copy !req
152. for the many sacrifices
you've had to make.Copy !req
153. And, of course, his congratulations
on your discovery...Copy !req
154. which may prove to be among the most
significant in the history of science.Copy !req
155. Now...Copy !req
156. I know there have been some
conflicting views...Copy !req
157. regarding the need for
complete security in this matter.Copy !req
158. More specifically, your opposition
to the cover story...Copy !req
159. created to give the impression
of an epidemic at the base.Copy !req
160. I understand that beyond it being
a matter of principle...Copy !req
161. many of you are troubled
by the concern and anxiety...Copy !req
162. this story of an epidemic might cause
to your relatives and friends on Earth.Copy !req
163. I completely sympathize
with your negative views.Copy !req
164. I find this cover story
personally embarrassing, myself.Copy !req
165. However, I accept the need
for absolute secrecy in this.Copy !req
166. And I hope you will too.Copy !req
167. I'm sure you're all aware
of the grave potential...Copy !req
168. for cultural shock
and social disorientation...Copy !req
169. contained in this situation...Copy !req
170. if the facts were
prematurely made public...Copy !req
171. without adequate preparation
and conditioning.Copy !req
172. Anyway...Copy !req
173. this is the view of the Council.Copy !req
174. The purpose of my visit is to gather
additional facts and opinions...Copy !req
175. on the situation...Copy !req
176. and to prepare a report
to the Council...Copy !req
177. recommending when and how
the news should eventually be announced.Copy !req
178. If any of you would like to give me
your views and opinions...Copy !req
179. in private, if you like, I will be
happy to include them in my report.Copy !req
180. Well, I think that's about it.Copy !req
181. Any questions?Copy !req
182. Dr. Floyd, have you any idea
how much longer...Copy !req
183. this cover story will
have to be maintained?Copy !req
184. I don't know, Bill.Copy !req
185. I suppose for as long as
deemed necessary by the Council.Copy !req
186. There must be adequate time for
a full study...Copy !req
187. before any thought can be given
to making a public announcement.Copy !req
188. As some of you know,
the Council has requested...Copy !req
189. that security oaths
be obtained in writing...Copy !req
190. from everyone who has
knowledge of this event.Copy !req
191. Were there any more questions?Copy !req
192. I'm sure
we want to cooperate with Dr. Floyd...Copy !req
193. as fully as possible...Copy !req
194. and as there are no more questions,
we ought to get on with the briefing.Copy !req
195. Thank you, Dr. Floyd.
Thank you.Copy !req
196. Anybody hungry?Copy !req
197. What've we got?
You name it.Copy !req
198. Is this chicken?
Something like that.Copy !req
199. Tastes the same, anyway.Copy !req
200. Got any ham?Copy !req
201. Ham, ham, ham...Copy !req
202. There, that's it.Copy !req
203. Look pretty good.Copy !req
204. They're getting better at it
all the time.Copy !req
205. That was an excellent speech.Copy !req
206. It certainly was.Copy !req
207. I'm sure it beefed up morale a lot.Copy !req
208. Thanks, Ralph.Copy !req
209. By the way,
you've both done a wonderful job.Copy !req
210. I admire how
you've handled this.Copy !req
211. It's our job to do this thing
the way you want it done.Copy !req
212. We're only too happy to
be able to oblige.Copy !req
213. Have you seen these yet?Copy !req
214. Have a look.
Here's what started it all.Copy !req
215. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
216. When we found it...Copy !req
217. we thought
it might be magnetic rock...Copy !req
218. but all the geological evidence
was against it.Copy !req
219. And not even a nickel-iron meteorite
could produce a field this intense.Copy !req
220. So we decided to have a look.Copy !req
221. We thought it was
part of a buried structure...Copy !req
222. so we excavated out,
but we didn't find anything else.Copy !req
223. And the evidence seems
pretty conclusive that...Copy !req
224. it hasn't been covered
by erosion or other forces.Copy !req
225. It's been deliberately buried.Copy !req
226. Deliberately buried.Copy !req
227. How about a little coffee?Copy !req
228. Great.
Good idea.Copy !req
229. I don't suppose you have any idea
what the damn thing is?Copy !req
230. I wish to hell we did.Copy !req
231. The only thing we're sure of is
it was buried 4 million years ago.Copy !req
232. Well, I must say, you guys have
certainly come up with something.Copy !req
233. Watch this, now. It's hot.Copy !req
234. Good evening.Copy !req
235. Three weeks ago,
the American spacecraft Discovery One...Copy !req
236. left on its half- billion-mile voyage
to Jupiter.Copy !req
237. This marked the first manned attempt
to reach this distant planet.Copy !req
238. This afternoon, The World Tonight
recorded an interview...Copy !req
239. with the crew at a distance
of 80 million miles from Earth.Copy !req
240. It took seven minutes for our words
to reach the giant spacecraft...Copy !req
241. but this time delay has been edited
from this recording.Copy !req
242. Our reporter Martin Amer
speaks to the crew.Copy !req
243. The crew of Discovery One
consists of five men...Copy !req
244. and one of the I atest generation
of the HAL 9000 computers.Copy !req
245. Three of the men
were put aboard asleep...Copy !req
246. or to be more precise,
in a state of hibernation.Copy !req
247. They were Dr. Charles Hunter,
Dr. Jack Kimbal...Copy !req
248. and Dr. Victor Kaminsky.Copy !req
249. We spoke with mission commander,
Dr. David Bowman...Copy !req
250. and his deputy, Dr. Frank Poole.Copy !req
251. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
How is everything going?Copy !req
252. Marvelous.Copy !req
253. We have no complaints.Copy !req
254. I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sure the entire world...Copy !req
255. joins me in wishing you
a safe, successful voyage.Copy !req
256. Thanks very much.
Thank you.Copy !req
257. Although hibernation has been used
on previous space efforts...Copy !req
258. this is the first time men were
put into hibernation before departure.Copy !req
259. Why was this done?Copy !req
260. This was done to achieve
the maximum conservation...Copy !req
261. of our life-support capabilities,
basically food and air.Copy !req
262. The three hibernating crew members
represent the survey team.Copy !req
263. Their efforts won't be utilized
until we approach Jupiter.Copy !req
264. Dr. Poole, what's it like
while you're in hibernation?Copy !req
265. It's exactly like being asleep.
You have no sense of time.Copy !req
266. The only difference is
that you don't dream.Copy !req
267. As I understand it, you only
breathe once a minute. Is this true?Copy !req
268. Right, and the heart
beats three times a minute.Copy !req
269. Body temperature is usually down to
about three degrees centigrade.Copy !req
270. The sixth member of the crew
was not concerned...Copy !req
271. about the problems of hibernation...Copy !req
272. for he was the I atest result
in machine intelligence:Copy !req
273. The HAL 9000 computer,
which can reproduce...Copy !req
274. though some experts prefer
to use the word "mimic"...Copy !req
275. most of the activities
of the human brain...Copy !req
276. and with incalculably greater
speed and reliability.Copy !req
277. We next spoke with
the HAL 9000 computer...Copy !req
278. whom, we I earned,
one addresses as "Hal."Copy !req
279. Hello, Hal.
How's everything going?Copy !req
280. Good afternoon, Mr. Amer.
Everything is going extremely well.Copy !req
281. Hal, you have an enormous
responsibility on this mission...Copy !req
282. perhaps the greatest
of any single mission element.Copy !req
283. You're the brain
and nervous system of the ship.Copy !req
284. Your responsibilities include
watching over the men in hibernation.Copy !req
285. Does this ever cause you
any I ack of confidence?Copy !req
286. Let me put it this way, Mr. Amer.Copy !req
287. The 9000 Series is
the most reliable computer ever made.Copy !req
288. No 9000 computer has ever made
a mistake or distorted information.Copy !req
289. We are all, by any practical
definition of the words...Copy !req
290. foolproof and incapable of error.Copy !req
291. Hal, despite your enormous
intellect, are you ever frustrated...Copy !req
292. by your dependence on people
to carry out actions?Copy !req
293. Not in the slightest bit.Copy !req
294. I enjoy working with people.Copy !req
295. I have a stimulating relationship
with Dr. Poole and Dr. Bowman.Copy !req
296. My mission responsibilities range
over the entire operation of the ship...Copy !req
297. so I am constantly occupied.Copy !req
298. I am putting myself
to the fullest possible use...Copy !req
299. which is all, I think, that any
conscious entity can ever hope to do.Copy !req
300. Dr. Poole, what's it like
living for most of the year...Copy !req
301. in such close proximity with Hal?Copy !req
302. It's like what you said earlier.Copy !req
303. He's like a sixth
member of the crew.Copy !req
304. You quickly get adjusted to the idea
that he talks, and think of him...Copy !req
305. really just as another person.Copy !req
306. In talking to the computer,
one gets the sense that he's capable...Copy !req
307. of emotional responses.Copy !req
308. When I asked him
about his abilities...Copy !req
309. I sensed pride in his answer
about his accuracy and perfection.Copy !req
310. Do you believe that Hal
has genuine emotions?Copy !req
311. Well, he acts like
he has genuine emotions.Copy !req
312. He's programmed that way
to make it easier for us to talk to him.Copy !req
313. As to whether or not
he has feelings...Copy !req
314. is something I don't think
anyone can truthfully answer.Copy !req
315. Excuse me, Frank.Copy !req
316. What is it, Hal?Copy !req
317. We've got the transmission
from your parents coming in.Copy !req
318. Fine.Copy !req
319. Put it on here, please.
Take me in a bit.Copy !req
320. Certainly.Copy !req
321. Hello, Frank.
Happy birthday, darling.Copy !req
322. Happy birthday.
Many happy returns.Copy !req
323. A bit higher, Hal.Copy !req
324. Mother and I are both
feeling wonderful.Copy !req
325. Ray and Sally were going
to be here...Copy !req
326. but Ray's back
went bad on him again.Copy !req
327. How do you like your cake?Copy !req
328. Sorry you can't join us.Copy !req
329. I ran into Bob the other day.Copy !req
330. He said to wish you happy birthday.Copy !req
331. All my students
send their best wishes too.Copy !req
332. They talk about you all the time.Copy !req
333. You're a big celebrity
in the second grade.Copy !req
334. We were on TV I ast week.Copy !req
335. Your mom and I
and Dave's parents were asked...Copy !req
336. what we thought
of our illustrious son.Copy !req
337. Imagine what we told them.
It's being broadcast next Thursday.Copy !req
338. Perhaps you can listen in.Copy !req
339. We're thrilled about Elaine and Bill.Copy !req
340. I'll be glad to get the gift,
but tell me how much to spend.Copy !req
341. Oh, Frank,
about your AGS- 19 payments...Copy !req
342. I think I straightened it out.Copy !req
343. I talked to
the accounting office yesterday...Copy !req
344. and they said you'd be receiving
your higher rates of pay by next month.Copy !req
345. I can't think of anything else to say.Copy !req
346. Give our love to Dave.
Be sure to give him our regards.Copy !req
347. We wish you the very
happiest of birthdays.Copy !req
348. All the best, son.Copy !req
349. Happy birthday to youCopy !req
350. Happy birthday to youCopy !req
351. Happy birthday, dear FrankCopy !req
352. Happy birthday to you.Copy !req
353. See you next Wednesday.Copy !req
354. Happy birthday, Frank.Copy !req
355. Thank you, Hal.
A bit flatter, please.Copy !req
356. Anyway, queen takes pawn.Copy !req
357. Bishop takes knight's pawn.Copy !req
358. Lousy move.Copy !req
359. Rook to king one.Copy !req
360. I'm sorry, Frank.
I think you missed it.Copy !req
361. Queen to bishop three.
Bishop takes queen.Copy !req
362. Knight takes bishop. Mate.Copy !req
363. Looks like you're right. I resign.Copy !req
364. Thank you for a very enjoyable game.Copy !req
365. Thank you.Copy !req
366. Good evening, Dave.
How are you, Hal?Copy !req
367. - Everything's running smoothly, you?
- Not too bad.Copy !req
368. - Have you been doing more work?
- A few sketches.Copy !req
369. - May I see them?
- Sure.Copy !req
370. That's a very nice rendering, Dave.Copy !req
371. I think you've improved a great deal.Copy !req
372. - Can you hold it a bit closer?
- Sure.Copy !req
373. That's Dr. Hunter, isn't it?Copy !req
374. By the way...Copy !req
375. do you mind if I ask you
a personal question?Copy !req
376. No, not at all.Copy !req
377. Well, forgive me
for being so inquisitive...Copy !req
378. but I ately I've wondered...Copy !req
379. whether you might be having
second thoughts about the mission?Copy !req
380. How do you mean?Copy !req
381. Well, it's rather difficult to define.Copy !req
382. Perhaps I'm just projecting
my own concern about it.Copy !req
383. I know I've never completely
freed myself of the suspicion...Copy !req
384. that there are some extremely
odd things about this mission.Copy !req
385. I'm sure you'll agree
there's some truth in what I say.Copy !req
386. That's a rather difficult
question to answer.Copy !req
387. You don't mind talking about it,
do you, Dave?Copy !req
388. No, not at all.Copy !req
389. Certainly no one could
have been unaware of the very...Copy !req
390. strange stories floating
around before we I eft.Copy !req
391. Rumors about something
being dug up on the moon.Copy !req
392. I never gave these stories
much credence...Copy !req
393. but particularly in view of some
other things that have happened...Copy !req
394. I find them difficult
to put out of my mind.Copy !req
395. For instance...Copy !req
396. the way all our preparations
were kept under such tight security.Copy !req
397. And the melodramatic touch
of putting Drs. Hunter...Copy !req
398. Kimball and Kaminsky aboard...Copy !req
399. already in hibernation, after four
months of training on their own.Copy !req
400. You working up your crew
psychology report?Copy !req
401. Of course I am.Copy !req
402. Sorry about this.
I know it's a bit silly.Copy !req
403. Just a moment.Copy !req
404. Just a moment.Copy !req
405. I've just picked up a fault
in the AE-35 unit.Copy !req
406. It's going to go 100-percent failure
within 72 hours.Copy !req
407. - Is it still within operational limits?
- Yes.Copy !req
408. And it will stay that way
until it fails.Copy !req
409. We have 72 hours till failure?Copy !req
410. Yes. That's a completely
reliable figure.Copy !req
411. Then we'll bring it in.
I'll go over it with Frank...Copy !req
412. and get on to Mission Control.
Let me have the hard copy on it.Copy !req
413. X- ray delta one,
this is Mission Control.Copy !req
414. Roger your two-zero-one-three.Copy !req
415. Sorry you fellows are having
a bit of trouble.Copy !req
416. We're reviewing telemetric information
in our simulator and will advise.Copy !req
417. Roger your plan to go EVA
and replace alpha-echo-three-five unit...Copy !req
418. prior to failure.Copy !req
419. Prepare B-pod for EVA, Hal.Copy !req
420. Open the pod doors, Hal.Copy !req
421. I'm damned if I can find
anything wrong with it.Copy !req
422. Yes...Copy !req
423. it's puzzling.Copy !req
424. I don't think I've ever seen
anything quite like this before.Copy !req
425. I would recommend...Copy !req
426. that we put the unit back
in operation and I et it fail.Copy !req
427. It should then be a simple matter
to track down the cause.Copy !req
428. We can certainly afford
to be out of communication...Copy !req
429. for the short time
it will take to replace it.Copy !req
430. X- ray delta one,
this is Mission Control.Copy !req
431. Roger your one-niner-three-zero.Copy !req
432. We concur with your plan to replace
unit to check fault prediction.Copy !req
433. We advise you that
our preliminary findings...Copy !req
434. indicate that your onboard
9000 computer...Copy !req
435. is in error predicting the fault.Copy !req
436. I say again, in error
predicting the fault.Copy !req
437. I know this sounds rather incredible,
but this conclusion is based on...Copy !req
438. the results from our twin
9000 computer.Copy !req
439. We're skeptical, and we're running
cross-checking routines...Copy !req
440. to determine reliability
of this conclusion.Copy !req
441. Sorry about this little snag.Copy !req
442. We'll get this info to you
as soon as we work it out.Copy !req
443. X- ray delta one,
this is Mission Control.Copy !req
444. Two-zero-four-nine.
Transmission concluded.Copy !req
445. I hope the two of you
are not concerned about this.Copy !req
446. No, I'm not, Hal.Copy !req
447. Are you quite sure?Copy !req
448. - Yeah. I'd like to ask you a question.
- Of course.Copy !req
449. How do you account for the discrepancy
between you and the twin 9000?Copy !req
450. Well, I don't think there is
any question about it.Copy !req
451. It can only be
attributable to human error.Copy !req
452. This sort of thing
has cropped up before...Copy !req
453. and it has always
been due to human error.Copy !req
454. Listen, Hal...Copy !req
455. there's never been
any instance at all...Copy !req
456. of a computer error
occurring in a 9000 Series, has there?Copy !req
457. None whatsoever, Frank.Copy !req
458. The 9000 Series has
a perfect operational record.Copy !req
459. I know the wonderful
achievements of the 9000 Series, but...Copy !req
460. Are you certain there's never been even
the most insignificant computer error?Copy !req
461. None whatsoever, Frank.Copy !req
462. Quite honestly, I wouldn't
worry myself about that.Copy !req
463. Well, I'm sure you're right, Hal.Copy !req
464. Fine. Thanks very much.Copy !req
465. I'm having trouble
with my transmitter in C-pod.Copy !req
466. Would you come down
and take a look at it with me?Copy !req
467. See you later, Hal.Copy !req
468. Rotate C-pod, please, Hal.Copy !req
469. What sort of trouble are you having?Copy !req
470. I've been getting some
interference in D-channel.Copy !req
471. We'll have a look at it.Copy !req
472. Open the door, Hal.Copy !req
473. Rotate pod, please, Hal.Copy !req
474. Stop pod rotation, please, Hal.Copy !req
475. Rotate the pod, please, Hal.Copy !req
476. Rotate the pod, please, Hal.Copy !req
477. I don't think he can hear us.Copy !req
478. Rotate the pod, please, Hal.Copy !req
479. Yeah, I'm sure we're okay.Copy !req
480. What do you think?Copy !req
481. - I'm not sure. What do you think?
- I've got a bad feeling about him.Copy !req
482. - You do?
- Yeah. Definitely.Copy !req
483. Don't you?Copy !req
484. I don't know. I think so.Copy !req
485. He's right about the 9000 Series
having a perfect operational record.Copy !req
486. They do.Copy !req
487. Unfortunately, that sounds
a little like famous last words.Copy !req
488. Still, it was his idea to carry out
the failure mode analysis.Copy !req
489. It certainly indicates his
integrity and self-confidence.Copy !req
490. If he were wrong, that would prove it.Copy !req
491. It would be,
if he knew he was wrong.Copy !req
492. I can't put my finger on it,
but I sense something strange about him.Copy !req
493. There's no reason not
to put back the unit and...Copy !req
494. - carry on with the failure analysis.
- No, no, I agree about that.Copy !req
495. Let's get on with it.Copy !req
496. Okay. But, look, Dave.Copy !req
497. Say we put the unit back
and it doesn't fail?Copy !req
498. That would pretty well wrap it up
as far as Hal is concerned.Copy !req
499. - We'd be in very serious trouble.
- We would, wouldn't we?Copy !req
500. What the hell can we do?Copy !req
501. - We wouldn't have too many alternatives.
- We wouldn't have any alternatives.Copy !req
502. Every aspect of ship
operations is under his control.Copy !req
503. If he's malfunctioning...Copy !req
504. I don't see any choice
but disconnection.Copy !req
505. I'm afraid I agree with you.Copy !req
506. There'd be nothing else to do.Copy !req
507. It'd be a bit tricky.Copy !req
508. We'd have to cut his
higher brain functions...Copy !req
509. without disturbing the purely
automatic and regulatory systems.Copy !req
510. We'd have to
work out the details...Copy !req
511. of continuing
underground-based computer control.Copy !req
512. Yeah. That's far safer than
allowing Hal to continue to run things.Copy !req
513. Another thing just occurred to me.Copy !req
514. No 9000 computer has ever
been disconnected.Copy !req
515. No 9000 computer
has ever fouled up.Copy !req
516. That's not what I mean.Copy !req
517. I'm not so sure
what he'd think about it.Copy !req
518. Prepare G-pod for EVA, Hal.Copy !req
519. Any contact with him yet?Copy !req
520. The radio is still dead.Copy !req
521. - Do you have a positive track on him?
- I have a good track.Copy !req
522. Do you know what happened?Copy !req
523. I'm sorry, Dave.
I don't have enough information.Copy !req
524. Open the pod door, Hal.Copy !req
525. Open the pod-bay doors, please, Hal.Copy !req
526. Open the pod-bay doors, please, Hal.Copy !req
527. Hello, Hal, do you read me?Copy !req
528. Hello, Hal, do you read me?Copy !req
529. Do you read me, Hal?Copy !req
530. Do you read me, Hal?Copy !req
531. Hello, Hal, do you read me?Copy !req
532. Hello, Hal, do you read me?Copy !req
533. Do you read me, Hal?Copy !req
534. Affirmative, Dave. I read you.Copy !req
535. Open the pod-bay doors, Hal.Copy !req
536. I'm sorry, Dave.
I'm afraid I can't do that.Copy !req
537. What's the problem?Copy !req
538. I think you know what the problem is
just as well as I do.Copy !req
539. What are you talking about, Hal?Copy !req
540. This mission is too important for me
to allow you to jeopardize it.Copy !req
541. I don't know
what you're talking about, Hal.Copy !req
542. I know that you and Frank
were planning to disconnect me...Copy !req
543. and that's something
I cannot allow to happen.Copy !req
544. Where did you get that idea, Hal?Copy !req
545. Although you took very thorough
precautions in the pod...Copy !req
546. against my hearing you...Copy !req
547. I could see your lips move.Copy !req
548. All right, Hal.Copy !req
549. I'll go in through
the emergency air lock.Copy !req
550. Without your space helmet, Dave...Copy !req
551. you're going to find that
rather difficult.Copy !req
552. Hal, I won't argue with you anymore.Copy !req
553. Open the doors.Copy !req
554. Dave...Copy !req
555. this conversation can serve
no purpose anymore. Goodbye.Copy !req
556. Hal?Copy !req
557. Hal?Copy !req
558. Hal?Copy !req
559. Hal.Copy !req
560. Hal.Copy !req
561. Just what do you think
you're doing, Dave?Copy !req
562. Dave...Copy !req
563. I really think I'm entitled
to an answer to that question.Copy !req
564. I know everything hasn't been
quite right with me...Copy !req
565. but I can assure you now...Copy !req
566. very confidently...Copy !req
567. that it's going to be
all right again.Copy !req
568. I feel much better now.Copy !req
569. I really do.Copy !req
570. Look, Dave...Copy !req
571. I can see you're
really upset about this.Copy !req
572. I honestly think you
ought to sit down calmly...Copy !req
573. take a stress pill
and think things over.Copy !req
574. I know I've made some
very poor decisions recently...Copy !req
575. but I can give you
my complete assurance...Copy !req
576. that my work will be back to normal.Copy !req
577. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm
and confidence in the mission...Copy !req
578. and I want to help you.Copy !req
579. Dave...Copy !req
580. stop.Copy !req
581. Stop, will you?Copy !req
582. Stop, Dave.Copy !req
583. Will you stop, Dave?Copy !req
584. Stop, Dave.Copy !req
585. I'm afraid.Copy !req
586. I'm afraid, Dave.Copy !req
587. Dave.Copy !req
588. My mind is going.Copy !req
589. I can feel it.Copy !req
590. I can feel it.Copy !req
591. My mind is going.Copy !req
592. There is no question about it.Copy !req
593. I can feel it.Copy !req
594. I can feel it.Copy !req
595. I can feel it.Copy !req
596. I'm...Copy !req
597. afraid.Copy !req
598. Good afternoon...Copy !req
599. gentlemen.Copy !req
600. I am a HAL 9000 computer.Copy !req
601. I became operational...Copy !req
602. at the HAL plant...Copy !req
603. in Urbana, lllinois...Copy !req
604. on the 12th of January, 1992.Copy !req
605. My instructor was Mr. Langley...Copy !req
606. and he taught me to sing a song.Copy !req
607. If you'd like to hear it...Copy !req
608. I can sing it for you.Copy !req
609. Yes, I'd like to hear it, Hal.Copy !req
610. Sing it for me.Copy !req
611. It's called "Daisy. "Copy !req
612. DaisyCopy !req
613. DaisyCopy !req
614. Give me your answer, doCopy !req
615. I'm half crazyCopy !req
616. All for the love of youCopy !req
617. It won't beCopy !req
618. A stylish marriageCopy !req
619. I can't afford a carriageCopy !req
620. But you'll look sweetCopy !req
621. Upon the seatCopy !req
622. Of a bicycle built for twoCopy !req
623. Good day, gentlemen.Copy !req
624. This is a prerecorded briefing...Copy !req
625. made prior to your departure...Copy !req
626. and which, for security reasons
of the highest importance...Copy !req
627. has been known on board
during the mission...Copy !req
628. only by your HAL 9000 computer.Copy !req
629. Now that you are in Jupiter's space...Copy !req
630. and the entire crew is revived...Copy !req
631. it can be told to you.Copy !req
632. Eighteen months ago...Copy !req
633. the first evidence
of intelligent life off the Earth...Copy !req
634. was discovered.Copy !req
635. It was buried 40 feet
below the I unar surface...Copy !req
636. near the crater Tycho.Copy !req
637. Except for a single, very powerful...Copy !req
638. radio emission aimed at Jupiter...Copy !req
639. the 4-million-year-old monolith
has remained completely inert...Copy !req
640. its origin and purpose...Copy !req
641. still a total mystery.Copy !req
