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. - You look great.
- 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, Miss Turner.Copy !req
15. This way.Copy !req
16. Welcome to Voiceprint Identification.Copy !req
17. When you see the red light go on,
please state in the following order:Copy !req
18. Your destination,
your nationality and your full name.Copy !req
19. Surname first, Christian name
and initial.Copy !req
20. Moon. American. Floyd, Heywood R.Copy !req
21. Thank you. You are cleared through
Voiceprint Identification.Copy !req
22. Thank you.Copy !req
23. - Have I got time for breakfast?
- I think we can manage that.Copy !req
24. How long have I got?Copy !req
25. Your flight leaves
in an hour and 10 minutes.Copy !req
26. I've reserved a table for you
in the Earthlight Room.Copy !req
27. It's been seven or eight months
since you were here, hasn't it?Copy !req
28. Let's see. Yeah, about eight months.Copy !req
29. I suppose you saw the work
on the new section?Copy !req
30. - Coming along great, huh?
- Yeah, it's fine.Copy !req
31. Oh, wait.Copy !req
32. I've got to make a couple calls.
I'll meet you in the restaurant.Copy !req
33. - Dad?
- Hello.Copy !req
34. - Hello.
- Hi, squirt. What are you doing?Copy !req
35. Playing.Copy !req
36. Where's Mummy?Copy !req
37. Gone to shopping.Copy !req
38. - Who's taking care of you?
- Rachel.Copy !req
39. - May I speak to Rachel, please?
- She's gone to the bathroom.Copy !req
40. Are you coming
to my party tomorrow?Copy !req
41. I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I can't.Copy !req
42. Why not?Copy !req
43. Well, you know, Daddy's traveling.Copy !req
44. Very sorry about it, but I just can't.Copy !req
45. I'm going to send you
a very nice present, though.Copy !req
46. All right.Copy !req
47. - Anything special that you want?
- Yes.Copy !req
48. What?Copy !req
49. A telephone.Copy !req
50. We've got lots of telephones already.Copy !req
51. Can't you think of anything else
for your birthday?Copy !req
52. Something very special?Copy !req
53. - Yes.
- What?Copy !req
54. A bush baby.Copy !req
55. A bush baby?
We'll have to see about that.Copy !req
56. I want you to tell Mummy
something for me. Will you remember?Copy !req
57. - Yeah.
- Tell Mummy that I telephoned. Okay?Copy !req
58. And that I'll try
to telephone again tomorrow.Copy !req
59. Now, will you tell her that?Copy !req
60. Yes.Copy !req
61. Okay, sweetheart.
Have a nice birthday tomorrow.Copy !req
62. All right.Copy !req
63. And have a nice birthday party
tomorrow too, huh?Copy !req
64. All right.Copy !req
65. Okay. Now, take care
and be a good girl, won't you?Copy !req
66. All right. Bye-bye.Copy !req
67. Bye-bye. Happy birthday.Copy !req
68. - Elena, how nice to see you again.
- Heywood, what a wonderful surprise.Copy !req
69. - You're looking wonderful.
- You're looking well too.Copy !req
70. This is my friend,
Dr. Heywood Floyd.Copy !req
71. - I'd like you to meet Dr. Kalinan.
- How do?Copy !req
72. - Dr. Stretyneva.
- How do you do?Copy !req
73. And this is Dr. Andrei Smyslov.Copy !req
74. How do you do?
I've heard a lot about you.Copy !req
75. Do sit down.Copy !req
76. - Well, we...
- No, no, please.Copy !req
77. Thank you.Copy !req
78. - Would you like a drink, doctor?
- No, thank you.Copy !req
79. I haven't had breakfast yet.
Someone's meeting me in the restaurant.Copy !req
80. I'll just sit with you a minute.
Then I'll be off.Copy !req
81. - Are you quite sure?
- Quite sure, thank you.Copy !req
82. - Well, how's Gregor?
- He's fine.Copy !req
83. He's been doing some
underwater research in the Baltic...Copy !req
84. so I'm afraid we don't get to see
very much of each other these days.Copy !req
85. - When you see him, give him my regards.
- Yes, of course.Copy !req
86. Well, where are you all off to?
Up or down?Copy !req
87. We're going home.Copy !req
88. We've just spent three months
calibrating the new antenna at Tchalinko.Copy !req
89. - What about you?
- I'm just on my way up to Clavius.Copy !req
90. Oh, are you?Copy !req
91. Dr. Floyd, I hope you don't think
I'm being too inquisitive...Copy !req
92. but perhaps you can clear up the big
mystery about what is going on there.Copy !req
93. I'm afraid I don't know
what you mean.Copy !req
94. It's that for the past two weeks...Copy !req
95. some extremely odd things
have been happening at Clavius.Copy !req
96. - Oh, really?
- Yes, yes.Copy !req
97. For one thing, when you phone the base,
all you get is a recording...Copy !req
98. which repeats that the phone lines
are temporarily out of order.Copy !req
99. Probably having some trouble
with their equipment.Copy !req
100. Yes.Copy !req
101. Yes, that's what we thought at first...Copy !req
102. but it's been going on now
for the past 10 days.Copy !req
103. You haven't been able to
contact anyone for 10 days?Copy !req
104. That's right.Copy !req
105. Oh, I see.Copy !req
106. There's another thing.
Two days ago, one of our rocket buses...Copy !req
107. was denied permission
for an emergency landing.Copy !req
108. That does sound odd.Copy !req
109. I'm afraid there's going to be
a bit of a row about it.Copy !req
110. Denying the men permission to land
violates the IAS Convention.Copy !req
111. Yes, of course.
Did the crew get back all right?Copy !req
112. - Fortunately, they did.
- Well, I'm glad about that.Copy !req
113. At the risk of pressing you on a
point you seem reticent to discuss...Copy !req
114. may I ask you
a straightforward question?Copy !req
115. Well, certainly.Copy !req
116. Quite frankly, we have had some very
reliable intelligence reports...Copy !req
117. that quite a serious epidemic
has broken out at Clavius.Copy !req
118. Something, apparently,
of an unknown origin.Copy !req
119. Is this, in fact, what has happened?Copy !req
120. I'm sorry, Dr. Smyslov, but...Copy !req
121. I'm really not at liberty
to discuss this.Copy !req
122. I understand.Copy !req
123. But this epidemic
could quite easily spread to our base.Copy !req
124. We should be given all the facts.Copy !req
125. Yes, I know.Copy !req
126. As I said,
I'm not at liberty to discuss it.Copy !req
127. Are you sure you won't
change your mind about that drink?Copy !req
128. No, I'm positive.
I really must be going.Copy !req
129. I hope you and your wife can come
to the IAC Conference.Copy !req
130. I hope we can make it.Copy !req
131. If you do, bring that darling
little daughter with you.Copy !req
132. That'll depend on school vacations
and all that sort of thing.Copy !req
133. If we can, we will.Copy !req
134. You've got an invitation
if you ever get to the States.Copy !req
135. Gregor and I will look forward
to seeing you.Copy !req
136. Goodbye, Elena.Copy !req
137. It's been a pleasure meeting you all.
Dr. Smyslov.Copy !req
138. Whatever the reasons for your visit,
the very best of luck to you.Copy !req
139. Thank you.Copy !req
140. Ladies.Copy !req
141. Excuse me, Dr. Halvorsen.
I'm through now.Copy !req
142. - Thank you very much, gentlemen.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
143. Well...Copy !req
144. I know you will all
want to join with me...Copy !req
145. in welcoming our distinguished
friend and colleague...Copy !req
146. from the National Council
of Astronautics, Dr. Heywood Floyd.Copy !req
147. Dr. Floyd has come up specially
to Clavius to be with us today.Copy !req
148. Before the briefing, he'd like to
have a few words with you.Copy !req
149. Dr. Floyd?Copy !req
150. Thank you, Dr. Halvorsen.Copy !req
151. Hi, everybody.
Nice to be back with you.Copy !req
152. First of all, I bring a
personal message from Dr. Howell...Copy !req
153. who has asked me to convey
his deep appreciation...Copy !req
154. for the many sacrifices
you've had to make.Copy !req
155. And, of course, his congratulations
on your discovery...Copy !req
156. which may prove to be among the most
significant in the history of science.Copy !req
157. Now...Copy !req
158. I know there have been some
conflicting views held by some of you...Copy !req
159. regarding the need for
complete security in this matter.Copy !req
160. More specifically, your opposition
to the cover story...Copy !req
161. created to give the impression
there's an epidemic at the base.Copy !req
162. I understand that beyond it being
a matter of principle...Copy !req
163. many of you are troubled
by the concern and anxiety...Copy !req
164. this story of an epidemic might cause
to your relatives and friends on Earth.Copy !req
165. Well, I completely sympathize
with your negative views.Copy !req
166. I find this cover story
personally embarrassing, myself.Copy !req
167. However, I accept the need
for absolute secrecy in this.Copy !req
168. And I hope you will too.Copy !req
169. I'm sure you're all aware
of the grave potential...Copy !req
170. for cultural shock
and social disorientation...Copy !req
171. contained in this present situation...Copy !req
172. if the facts were
prematurely made public...Copy !req
173. without adequate preparation
and conditioning.Copy !req
174. Anyway, this is the view
of the Council.Copy !req
175. The purpose of my visit here is to gather
additional facts and opinions...Copy !req
176. on the situation...Copy !req
177. and to prepare a report
to the Council...Copy !req
178. recommending when and how
the news should eventually be announced.Copy !req
179. If any of you would like to give me
your views and opinions...Copy !req
180. in private, if you like, I will be
happy to include them in my report.Copy !req
181. Well, I think that's about it.Copy !req
182. Any questions?Copy !req
183. Dr. Floyd, have you any idea
how much longer...Copy !req
184. this cover story will
have to be maintained?Copy !req
185. I don't know, Bill.Copy !req
186. I suppose it'll be maintained as long
as deemed necessary by the Council.Copy !req
187. There must be adequate time for
a full study...Copy !req
188. before any thought can be given
to making a public announcement.Copy !req
189. As some of you already know,
the Council has requested...Copy !req
190. that security oaths
be obtained in writing...Copy !req
191. from everyone who has knowledge
of this event.Copy !req
192. Were there any more questions?Copy !req
193. I'm sure we'll all want to cooperate
with Dr. Floyd 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. - Great.
- Well.Copy !req
198. - What do we got?
- You name it.Copy !req
199. - Is this chicken?
- Something like that.Copy !req
200. Tastes the same, anyway.Copy !req
201. Got any ham?Copy !req
202. Ham, ham, ham...Copy !req
203. There, that's it.Copy !req
204. Look pretty good.Copy !req
205. They're getting better at it
all the time.Copy !req
206. - That was an excellent speech, Heywood.
- 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 at this.
- Here's what started the whole thing.Copy !req
215. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
216. When we found it, we thought
it might be magnetic rock...Copy !req
217. but all the geological evidence
was against it.Copy !req
218. And not even a nickel-iron meteorite
could produce a field this intense.Copy !req
219. So we decided to have a look.Copy !req
220. We thought it was
part of a buried structure...Copy !req
221. so we excavated out on all sides,
but we didn't find anything else.Copy !req
222. And the evidence seems
pretty conclusive...Copy !req
223. that it hasn't been covered up
by erosion or other forces.Copy !req
224. It seems to have been
deliberately buried.Copy !req
225. Deliberately buried.Copy !req
226. How about a little coffee?Copy !req
227. - Great.
- Good idea.Copy !req
228. I don't suppose you have any idea
what the damn thing is.Copy !req
229. I wish to hell we did.Copy !req
230. The only thing we're sure of
is it was buried 4 million years ago.Copy !req
231. Well, I must say, you guys have
certainly come up with something.Copy !req
232. Watch this, now. It's hot.Copy !req
233. Good evening.Copy !req
234. Three weeks ago,
the American spacecraft Discovery One...Copy !req
235. left on its half-billion-mile voyage
to Jupiter.Copy !req
236. This marked the first manned attempt
to reach this distant planet.Copy !req
237. Earlier this afternoon, The World Tonight
recorded an interview...Copy !req
238. with the crew of Discovery at
a distance of 80 million miles from Earth.Copy !req
239. It took seven minutes for our words
to reach the giant spacecraft...Copy !req
240. but this time delay has been edited
from this recording.Copy !req
241. Our reporter Martin Amer
speaks to the crew.Copy !req
242. The crew of Discovery One
consists of five men...Copy !req
243. and one of the latest generation
of the HAL 9000 computers.Copy !req
244. Three of the five men
were put aboard asleep...Copy !req
245. or to be more precise,
in a state of hibernation.Copy !req
246. They were Dr. Charles Hunter,
Dr. Jack Kimball...Copy !req
247. and Dr. Victor Kaminsky.Copy !req
248. We spoke with mission commander,
Dr. David Bowman...Copy !req
249. and his deputy, Dr. Frank Poole.Copy !req
250. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
How is everything going?Copy !req
251. Marvelous.Copy !req
252. We have no complaints.Copy !req
253. I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sure the entire world...Copy !req
254. would join me in wishing you
a safe and successful voyage.Copy !req
255. - Thanks very much.
- Thank you.Copy !req
256. Although hibernation has been used
on previous space efforts...Copy !req
257. this is the first time men have been
put into hibernation before departure.Copy !req
258. Why was this done?Copy !req
259. This was done in order to achieve
the maximum conservation...Copy !req
260. of our life-support capabilities,
basically food and air.Copy !req
261. The three hibernating crew members
represent the survey team.Copy !req
262. And their efforts won't be utilized
until we're approaching Jupiter.Copy !req
263. Dr. Poole, what's it like
while you're in hibernation?Copy !req
264. It's exactly like being asleep.
You have absolutely no sense of time.Copy !req
265. The only difference
is that you don't dream.Copy !req
266. As I understand it, you only breathe
once a minute. Is this true?Copy !req
267. Right, and the heart beats
three times a minute.Copy !req
268. Body temperature is usually down to
about three degrees centigrade.Copy !req
269. The sixth member of the Discovery crew
was not concerned...Copy !req
270. about the problems of hibernation...Copy !req
271. for he was the latest result
in machine intelligence:Copy !req
272. The HAL 9000 computer,
which can reproduce...Copy !req
273. though some experts
prefer to use the word "mimic"...Copy !req
274. most of the activities
of the human brain...Copy !req
275. and with incalculably greater speed
and reliability.Copy !req
276. We next spoke
with the HAL 9000 computer...Copy !req
277. whom, we learned,
one addresses as "Hal".Copy !req
278. Good afternoon, Hal.
How's everything going?Copy !req
279. Good afternoon, Mr. Amer.
Everything is going extremely well.Copy !req
280. Hal, you have an enormous responsibility
on this mission...Copy !req
281. perhaps the greatest responsibility
of any single mission element.Copy !req
282. You're the brain
and central nervous system of the ship.Copy !req
283. Your responsibilities include
watching over the men in hibernation.Copy !req
284. Does this ever cause you
any lack of confidence?Copy !req
285. Let me put it this way, Mr. Amer.Copy !req
286. The 9000 Series
is the most reliable computer ever made.Copy !req
287. No 9000 computer has ever
made a mistake or distorted information.Copy !req
288. We are all, by any practical definition
of the words...Copy !req
289. foolproof and incapable of error.Copy !req
290. Hal, despite your enormous intellect,
are you ever frustrated...Copy !req
291. by your dependence on people
to carry out actions?Copy !req
292. Not in the slightest bit.Copy !req
293. I enjoy working with people.Copy !req
294. I have a stimulating relationship
with Dr. Poole and Dr. Bowman.Copy !req
295. My mission responsibilities range
over the entire operation of the ship...Copy !req
296. so I am constantly occupied.Copy !req
297. I am putting myself
to the fullest possible use...Copy !req
298. which is all, I think, that any
conscious entity can ever hope to do.Copy !req
299. Dr. Poole, what's it like
living for most of the year...Copy !req
300. in such close proximity with Hal?Copy !req
301. It's like what you said earlier.Copy !req
302. He's just like
a sixth member of the crew.Copy !req
303. You very quickly get adjusted to the idea
that he talks, and think of him...Copy !req
304. really just as another person.Copy !req
305. In talking to the computer,
one gets the sense that he's capable...Copy !req
306. of emotional responses.Copy !req
307. When I asked him
about his abilities...Copy !req
308. I sensed pride in his answer
about his accuracy and perfection.Copy !req
309. Do you believe
that Hal has genuine emotions?Copy !req
310. Well, he acts like
he has genuine emotions.Copy !req
311. He's programmed that way
to make it easier for us to talk to him.Copy !req
312. As to whether or not
he has feelings...Copy !req
313. is something I don't think
anyone can truthfully answer.Copy !req
314. Excuse me, Frank.Copy !req
315. What is it, Hal?Copy !req
316. We've got the transmission
from your parents coming in.Copy !req
317. Fine.Copy !req
318. Put it on here, please.
Take me in a bit.Copy !req
319. Certainly.Copy !req
320. - Hi, Frank.
- Happy birthday, darling.Copy !req
321. Happy birthday.
Many happy returns.Copy !req
322. A bit higher, Hal.Copy !req
323. Mother and I are both
feeling wonderful.Copy !req
324. Ray and Sally
were going to be here...Copy !req
325. but Ray's back
went bad on him again.Copy !req
326. - How do you like your cake?
- Looks great, huh?Copy !req
327. Sorry you can't join us.Copy !req
328. I ran into Bob the other day.Copy !req
329. He said to wish you happy birthday.Copy !req
330. All my students
send their best wishes too.Copy !req
331. They talk about you all the time.Copy !req
332. You're a big celebrity
in the second grade.Copy !req
333. We were on TV last week.Copy !req
334. Your mom and I
and Dave's parents were asked...Copy !req
335. what we thought
of our illustrious sons.Copy !req
336. Imagine what we told them.
It's being broadcast next Thursday.Copy !req
337. Perhaps you can listen in.Copy !req
338. We're thrilled about Elaine and Bill.Copy !req
339. I'll be glad to get the present for you,
but tell me how much to spend.Copy !req
340. Oh, Frank,
about your AGS-19 payments...Copy !req
341. I think I straightened it out.Copy !req
342. I talked to
the accounting office yesterday...Copy !req
343. and they said you'd be receiving
your higher rates of pay by next month.Copy !req
344. I can't think of anything else to say.Copy !req
345. - Give our love to Dave.
- Be sure to give him our best regards.Copy !req
346. We wish you
the very happiest of birthdays.Copy !req
347. All the best, son.Copy !req
348. Happy birthday to youCopy !req
349. Happy birthday to youCopy !req
350. Happy birthday, dear FrankCopy !req
351. Happy birthday to you.Copy !req
352. See you next Wednesday.Copy !req
353. Happy birthday, Frank.Copy !req
354. Thank you, Hal.
A bit flatter, please.Copy !req
355. Anyway, queen takes pawn.Copy !req
356. Bishop takes knight's pawn.Copy !req
357. Lovely move.Copy !req
358. Rook to king one.Copy !req
359. I'm sorry, Frank.
I think you missed it.Copy !req
360. Queen to bishop three.
Bishop takes queen.Copy !req
361. Knight takes bishop. Mate.Copy !req
362. Looks like you're right. I resign.Copy !req
363. Thank you for a very enjoyable game.Copy !req
364. Thank you.Copy !req
365. - Good evening, Dave.
- How are you, Hal?Copy !req
366. - Everything's running smoothly. You?
- Not too bad.Copy !req
367. - Have you been doing more work?
- A few sketches.Copy !req
368. - May I see them?
- Sure.Copy !req
369. That's a very nice rendering, Dave.Copy !req
370. I think you've improved a great deal.Copy !req
371. - Can you hold it a bit closer?
- Sure.Copy !req
372. That's Dr. Hunter, isn't it?Copy !req
373. By the way...Copy !req
374. do you mind if I ask you
a personal question?Copy !req
375. No, not at all.Copy !req
376. Well, forgive me
for being so inquisitive...Copy !req
377. but for the past few weeks
I've wondered...Copy !req
378. whether you might be having
second thoughts about the mission.Copy !req
379. How do you mean?Copy !req
380. Well, it's rather difficult to define.Copy !req
381. Perhaps I'm just projecting
my own concern about it.Copy !req
382. I know I've never completely
freed myself of the suspicion...Copy !req
383. that there are some extremely
odd things about this mission.Copy !req
384. I'm sure you'll agree
there's some truth in what I say.Copy !req
385. That's a rather difficult question
to answer.Copy !req
386. You don't mind talking about it,
do you, Dave?Copy !req
387. No, not at all.Copy !req
388. Certainly no one could
have been unaware of the very...Copy !req
389. strange stories floating around
before we left.Copy !req
390. Rumors about something being dug up
on the moon.Copy !req
391. I never gave these stories
much credence...Copy !req
392. but particularly in view of some
other things that have happened...Copy !req
393. I find them difficult
to put out of my mind.Copy !req
394. For instance...Copy !req
395. the way all our preparations
were kept under such tight security.Copy !req
396. And the melodramatic touch
of putting Drs. Hunter...Copy !req
397. Kimball, and Kaminsky aboard...Copy !req
398. already in hibernation, after four
months of training on their own.Copy !req
399. You working up
your crew psychology report?Copy !req
400. Of course I am.Copy !req
401. Sorry about this.
I know it's a bit silly.Copy !req
402. Just a moment.Copy !req
403. Just a moment.Copy !req
404. I've just picked up a fault
in the AE-35 unit.Copy !req
405. It's going to go 100-percent failure
within 72 hours.Copy !req
406. - Is it still within operational limits?
- Yes.Copy !req
407. And it will stay that way
until it fails.Copy !req
408. We have 72 hours till failure?Copy !req
409. Yes. That's a completely
reliable figure.Copy !req
410. Then we'll bring it in.
I'll go over it with Frank...Copy !req
411. and get on to Mission Control.
Let me have the hard copy on it.Copy !req
412. X-ray delta one,
this is Mission Control.Copy !req
413. Roger your two-zero-one-three.Copy !req
414. Sorry you fellows are having
a bit of trouble.Copy !req
415. We're reviewing telemetric information
in our simulator and will advise.Copy !req
416. Roger your plan to go EVA
and replace alpha-echo-three-five unit...Copy !req
417. prior to failure.Copy !req
418. Prepare B-pod for EVA, Hal.Copy !req
419. Open the pod doors, Hal.Copy !req
420. I'm damned if I can find
anything wrong with it.Copy !req
421. Yes.Copy !req
422. It's puzzling.Copy !req
423. I don't think I've ever seen
anything quite like this before.Copy !req
424. I would recommend...Copy !req
425. that we put the unit back in operation
and let it fail.Copy !req
426. It should then be a simple matter
to track down the cause.Copy !req
427. We can certainly afford
to be out of communication...Copy !req
428. for the short time
it will take to replace it.Copy !req
429. X-ray delta one,
this is Mission Control.Copy !req
430. Roger your one-niner-three-zero.Copy !req
431. We concur with your plan
to replace number-one unit...Copy !req
432. to check fault prediction.Copy !req
433. We should advise you
that our preliminary findings...Copy !req
434. indicate that your on board
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. Oh, Frank, 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
have you been 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. Yeah. Still, it was his idea to carry out
the failure mode analysis, wasn't it?Copy !req
489. It should certainly indicate
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. There isn't a single aspect of ship
operations that's not 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.
- Yeah.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 under
ground-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. Dave, 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 lunar 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 black monolith
has remained completely inert...Copy !req
640. its origin and purpose...Copy !req
641. still a total mystery.Copy !req
