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