1. Those were the years
after the icecaps had melted...Copy !req
2. because of the greenhouse gases...Copy !req
3. and the oceans had risen
to drown so many cities...Copy !req
4. along all the shorelines
of the world.Copy !req
5. Amsterdam, Venice, New York...Copy !req
6. forever lost.Copy !req
7. Millions of people were displaced.Copy !req
8. Climate became chaotic.Copy !req
9. Hundreds of millions of people
starved in poorer countries.Copy !req
10. Elsewhere, a high degree
of prosperity survived...Copy !req
11. when most governments
in the developed world...Copy !req
12. introduced legal sanctions
to strictly license pregnancies...Copy !req
13. which was why robots, who are never
hungry and who did not consume resources...Copy !req
14. beyond those of
their first manufacture...Copy !req
15. were so essential
an economic link...Copy !req
16. in the chain mail of society.Copy !req
17. To create an artificial being
has been the dream of man...Copy !req
18. since the birth of science.Copy !req
19. Not merely the beginning of
the modern age, when our forebears...Copy !req
20. astonished the world
with the first thinking machines...Copy !req
21. primitive monsters that could
play chess.Copy !req
22. How far we have come!Copy !req
23. The artificial being is a reality,
a perfect simulacrum...Copy !req
24. articulated in limb,
articulate in speech...Copy !req
25. and not lacking in human response.Copy !req
26. And even pain-memory response.Copy !req
27. How did that make you feel?
Angry? Shocked?Copy !req
28. - I don't understand.
- What did I do to your feelings?Copy !req
29. You did it to my hand.Copy !req
30. Aye...Copy !req
31. there's the rub.Copy !req
32. Undress.Copy !req
33. At Cybertronics of New Jersey, the artificial
being has reached its highest form.Copy !req
34. The universally adapted Mecha...Copy !req
35. the basis for hundreds of models
serving the human race...Copy !req
36. in all the multiplicity
of daily life.Copy !req
37. That's far enough.Copy !req
38. But we have no reason
to congratulate ourselves.Copy !req
39. We are rightly proud of it.Copy !req
40. But what does it amount to?Copy !req
41. Sheila, open.Copy !req
42. A sensory toy...Copy !req
43. with intelligent behavioral circuits...Copy !req
44. using neurone-sequencing
technology...Copy !req
45. as old as I am.Copy !req
46. I believe that my work on mapping
the impulse pathways in a single neurone...Copy !req
47. can enable us to construct...Copy !req
48. a Mecha of
a qualitatively different order.Copy !req
49. I Propose...Copy !req
50. that we build a robot...Copy !req
51. who can love.Copy !req
52. Love?Copy !req
53. But we ship thousands
of lover-models every month.Copy !req
54. Of course. You're your own
best customer, Syatyoo-Sama.Copy !req
55. Quality control is very important.Copy !req
56. Tell me, what is love?Copy !req
57. Love is first widening my eyes
a little bit...Copy !req
58. and quickening my breathing a little
and warming my skin and—Copy !req
59. And so on, exactly so. Thank you, Sheila.Copy !req
60. But I wasn't referring
to sensuality simulators.Copy !req
61. The word that I used was "love."Copy !req
62. Love like the love of a child
for its parents.Copy !req
63. I propose that we build
a robot-child who can love.Copy !req
64. A robot-child who will genuinely love
the parent or parents it imprints on...Copy !req
65. with a love that will never end.Copy !req
66. A child-substitute Mecha?Copy !req
67. But a Mecha with a mind,
with neuronal feedback.Copy !req
68. You see, what I'm suggesting is
that love will be the key...Copy !req
69. by which they acquire a kind of
subconscious never before achieved.Copy !req
70. An inner world of metaphor,
of intuition...Copy !req
71. of self-motivated reasoning,
of dreams.Copy !req
72. A robot that dreams?
How exactly do we pull this off?Copy !req
73. It occurs to me...Copy !req
74. with all this animus existing
against Mechas today...Copy !req
75. it isn't simply a question
of creating a robot who can love.Copy !req
76. But isn't the real conundrum,
can you get a human to love them back?Copy !req
77. Ours will be a perfect child
caught in a freeze-frame...Copy !req
78. always loving,
never ill, never changing.Copy !req
79. With all the childless couples
yearning in vain for a license...Copy !req
80. our little Mecha will not only open up
a completely new market...Copy !req
81. it will fill a great human need.Copy !req
82. But you haven't answered my question.Copy !req
83. If a robot could genuinely love a person...Copy !req
84. what responsibility does that person
hold toward that Mecha in return?Copy !req
85. - It's a moral question, isn't it?
- The oldest one of all.Copy !req
86. But in the beginning, didn't God
create Adam to love him?Copy !req
87. "The baby was born
as the first leaves of autumn fell.Copy !req
88. A baby boy.
And Marian's wish came true.Copy !req
89. The boy had white hair.Copy !req
90. He was baptized Martin,
after his grandfather."Copy !req
91. - Dr. Frazier, hi, good to see you.
- Hello.Copy !req
92. There was an article in
the Journal of Chinese Medicine.Copy !req
93. Hello again, Monica.Copy !req
94. They talked about virus locators,
these microscopic, synthetic hunter killers.Copy !req
95. - Did you read that article?
- I can still hear you.Copy !req
96. - I'm worried about her. She's got me worried.
- I know.Copy !req
97. She's in the most difficult position of feeling
she should mourn the death of your son.Copy !req
98. After five years, your instincts tell you
to mourn him too.Copy !req
99. But medicine assures us that mourning is
inappropriate, that Martin is merely pending.Copy !req
100. Pending.Copy !req
101. So all her grief goes undigested.Copy !req
102. Henry, your son may be
beyond our science.Copy !req
103. But it's your wife
who can still be reached.Copy !req
104. The screening process
was extremely difficult.Copy !req
105. It was almost tougher
than building the prototype.Copy !req
106. Of our 2000 employees, a surprising few
met your requirements for in-house testing.Copy !req
107. Initiate.Copy !req
108. Employment record,
quality of lifestyle.Copy !req
109. Query. Internal data.Copy !req
110. Loyalty to the firm,
and in this individual's case...Copy !req
111. a family tragedy that may
qualify him above the rest.Copy !req
112. I'll see him.Copy !req
113. Henry.Copy !req
114. - Don't kill me.
- Henry, what are you doing?Copy !req
115. I love you. Don't kill me.Copy !req
116. The door's closed.Copy !req
117. I like your floor.Copy !req
118. I can't accept this! There is
no substitute for your own child!Copy !req
119. You don't have to accept it, or even try.Copy !req
120. - It's not too late to take him back.
- What were you thinking?Copy !req
121. - Shh. I'll do whatever you want me to do.
- Do you think I can just...? I can just...?Copy !req
122. - I'll do whatever you want me to do!
- I don't know what to do.Copy !req
123. I know, I know. I'll return him
to Cybertronics first thing in the morning.Copy !req
124. It's gone.Copy !req
125. Good.Copy !req
126. I mean, Henry, did you see his face?Copy !req
127. He's so real.Copy !req
128. - But he's not.
- No, he's not.Copy !req
129. - I mean, inside, he's like the rest, isn't he?
- A hundred miles of fiber, yeah.Copy !req
130. But outside, he just looks so real...Copy !req
131. like he is a child.Copy !req
132. A Mecha-child.Copy !req
133. A Child.Copy !req
134. The show of faith my company has placed
on me, on us, is extraordinary.Copy !req
135. There are a few simple procedures
we need to follow...Copy !req
136. if and when you decide to keep David.Copy !req
137. If you decide to keep him,
there's an imprinting protocol...Copy !req
138. consisting of a code string
of seven words...Copy !req
139. which need to be spoken to David
in the predefined order here.Copy !req
140. Now, Monica, for our own protection,
this imprinting is irreversible.Copy !req
141. The robot child's love would be sealed,
hard-wired, and we'd be part of him forever.Copy !req
142. Because of this, after imprinting,
no Mecha-child can be resold.Copy !req
143. If an adoptive parent
decides not to keep a child...Copy !req
144. they must return it
to Cybertronics for destruction.Copy !req
145. I had to sign a letter of agreement
or they wouldn't even let you see David.Copy !req
146. You have to sign it too. Right here.Copy !req
147. Monica...Copy !req
148. don't imprint until you're entirely sure.Copy !req
149. Silly man. Of course I'm not sure.Copy !req
150. Would you like me to sleep now?Copy !req
151. Good idea. Good idea. Monica?Copy !req
152. Uh, well, it's late, you know. It's after 9.Copy !req
153. How late do they let you stay up?Copy !req
154. I can never go to sleep.Copy !req
155. But I can lay quietly
and not make a peep.Copy !req
156. So those pajamas will fit you.Copy !req
157. We'll be in to check on you
in the morning.Copy !req
158. Dress me?Copy !req
159. I'm gonna say good night
while you boys be boys.Copy !req
160. Raise your arms.Copy !req
161. - Is it a game?
- Yes.Copy !req
162. Hide-and-seek.Copy !req
163. I found you.Copy !req
164. That's your room. Just, uh, go and play.Copy !req
165. I found you.Copy !req
166. Out! Out! Get out of here!Copy !req
167. And close the goddamn door!Copy !req
168. Is it a game?Copy !req
169. Now, I'm gonna read some words.Copy !req
170. And, um, they won't make any sense,
but I want you to listen to them anyway.Copy !req
171. And look at me all the time.Copy !req
172. Can you do that?Copy !req
173. Yes, Monica.Copy !req
174. Can you feel my hand
on the back of your neck?Copy !req
175. Yes.Copy !req
176. - Does any of this hurt?
- No.Copy !req
177. Okay, now...Copy !req
178. look at me.Copy !req
179. Ready?Copy !req
180. Cirrus.Copy !req
181. Socrates.Copy !req
182. Particle.Copy !req
183. Decibel.Copy !req
184. Hurricane.Copy !req
185. Dolphin.Copy !req
186. Tulip.Copy !req
187. Monica.Copy !req
188. David.Copy !req
189. Monica.Copy !req
190. All right.Copy !req
191. I wonder if I did that right.Copy !req
192. What were those words for, Mommy?Copy !req
193. What did you call me?Copy !req
194. Mommy.Copy !req
195. Who am I, David?Copy !req
196. You are my mommy.Copy !req
197. You smell lovely. I love it
when you wear this stuff.Copy !req
198. - Will you still love me when it's all gone?
- No.Copy !req
199. Ha, ha, stop it!Copy !req
200. We can get married again and begin with
a fragrance that's not in such short supply.Copy !req
201. - Ha, ha.
- We gotta go. Come on, we're late.Copy !req
202. - Hello, David.
Hello, Henry.Copy !req
203. Walk us out, all right, sweetheart?
Come on.Copy !req
204. My Shoe!Copy !req
205. - Your tie! You're hopeless!
I'm helpless. He made our bed.Copy !req
206. He's just trying so hard!Copy !req
207. He's trying so hard to please me.
He has a way with my coffee!Copy !req
208. It's creepy. You can never hear him coming.
He's just always there.Copy !req
209. - He is only a child.
- Monica, he's a toy.Copy !req
210. He's a gift.Copy !req
211. From you.Copy !req
212. David, when we leave,
the doors will go smart...Copy !req
213. so you can't leave your room,
but if you'd like...Copy !req
214. - Oh, I put way too much on.
- Do I smell lovely?Copy !req
215. Oh, God, no!Copy !req
216. Mommy?Copy !req
217. Will you die?Copy !req
218. Well, one day, David, yes, I will.Copy !req
219. I'll be alone.Copy !req
220. Don't worry yourself so.Copy !req
221. How long will you live?Copy !req
222. For ages.Copy !req
223. For 50 years.Copy !req
224. I love you, Mommy.Copy !req
225. I hope you never die.Copy !req
226. Never.Copy !req
227. Yes.Copy !req
228. Darling!Copy !req
229. We're becoming unfashionably,
unreasonably late.Copy !req
230. Hello?Copy !req
231. This belonged to Martin, my son.Copy !req
232. His name is Teddy.
Teddy, this is David.Copy !req
233. - Hello, Teddy.
- Hello, David. Unh.Copy !req
234. David, Teddy is a supertoy. I know
you'll take good care of each other.Copy !req
235. I am not a toy.Copy !req
236. Henry!Copy !req
237. - Sorry!
- What were you doing up there?Copy !req
238. Uh, I'll tell you in the car. Come on!Copy !req
239. Is 50 years a long time?Copy !req
240. I don't think so.Copy !req
241. David, I'll get it!Copy !req
242. - Honey, hand it to me.
- Look what I can do.Copy !req
243. Hello.Copy !req
244. Yes?Copy !req
245. WOMAN".
Mrs. Swinton, could you hold a moment?Copy !req
246. I have an urgent call from your husband.Copy !req
247. Yes, I will.
Uh, David, I need to talk to the phone now.Copy !req
248. Monica? Monica, can you hear me?Copy !req
249. - Let the phone talk now.
Pick up the phone, Monica!Copy !req
250. - Run along, play with Teddy.
Pick up the phone. Oh, my God—Copy !req
251. Hello, Henry, what is it?Copy !req
252. What?Copy !req
253. When?Copy !req
254. Oh, God.Copy !req
255. David.Copy !req
256. The most wonderful thing
in the whole world has happened.Copy !req
257. This is Martin.Copy !req
258. This is my son.Copy !req
259. Martin, no!Copy !req
260. We'll have a contest to see
who he comes to first.Copy !req
261. Come here, Teddy! Come here!Copy !req
262. Teddy! Come here!Copy !req
263. - You call him too.
- Come here, Teddy.Copy !req
264. Come on. Teddy!
Come here, boy.Copy !req
265. - Come here! Come on, Teddy.
- Come here, Teddy.Copy !req
266. Teddy, come.
Come here, Teddy.Copy !req
267. - Come here, Teddy.
- Come, Teddy! Come.Copy !req
268. Mommy! Mommy!Copy !req
269. Are they torturing you, Teddy?Copy !req
270. He used to be a supertoy, but...Copy !req
271. now he's old and stupid.Copy !req
272. You want him?Copy !req
273. Yes, please.Copy !req
274. Now you're the new supertoy.
So, what good stuff can you do?Copy !req
275. Can you do power stuff,
like walk on the ceiling or the walls?Copy !req
276. Anti-gravity, like float or fly?Copy !req
277. Can you?Copy !req
278. No, because I'm real.Copy !req
279. Can you break this?Copy !req
280. I better not.Copy !req
281. These things, they do look better
in pieces. They do.Copy !req
282. I can't.Copy !req
283. Stand up.Copy !req
284. - Look, they made you bigger than me.
- Who did?Copy !req
285. They did. The dollmakers.
They made you taller.Copy !req
286. Why don't you look like one?Copy !req
287. Like one?Copy !req
288. You're not cute like a doll.Copy !req
289. You just look like someone's ordinary kid.Copy !req
290. When's your birthday?Copy !req
291. I never had a birthday.Copy !req
292. Okay. When were you first built?
When's your "build-day"?Copy !req
293. I don't remember.Copy !req
294. Okay, what's the first thing
you can remember?Copy !req
295. A bird.Copy !req
296. What sort of bird?Copy !req
297. A bird with big wings...Copy !req
298. and feathers sticking up
from the bottom.Copy !req
299. Can you draw it?Copy !req
300. Yes.Copy !req
301. That looks like a peacock.
Can you say "peacock"?Copy !req
302. Peacock.Copy !req
303. - Can you say "pee"?
- Pee.Copy !req
304. Now say that two times fast.Copy !req
305. Okay. Then you gotta put
the green ones—Copy !req
306. Read to us?
- Hey.Copy !req
307. Let's see.Copy !req
308. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
309. David's going to love it.Copy !req
310. "As soon as the show was over,
the Showman went into the kitchen...Copy !req
311. where the sheep,
which she was preparing for supper...Copy !req
312. was roasting on the slowly turning spit
in the furnace.Copy !req
313. When he saw there was
not enough wood to finish roasting it...Copy !req
314. he called Harlequin
and Punchinello and said:Copy !req
315. 'Bring me in Pinocchio!
You will find him hanging on a nail.Copy !req
316. He is made of nice, dry wood
and will make a nice fire for my roast."'Copy !req
317. "Pinocchio worked until midnight.Copy !req
318. And instead of making
eight baskets, he made 16.Copy !req
319. Then he went to bed and fell asleep.Copy !req
320. As he slept, he dreamt he saw
the fairy, lovely and smiling...Copy !req
321. who gave him a kiss, saying:Copy !req
322. 'Brave Pinocchio...Copy !req
323. in return for your good heart,
I forgive all your past misdeeds.Copy !req
324. Be good in future, and you will be happy.'Copy !req
325. Then the dream ended
and Pinocchio awoke, full of amazement.Copy !req
326. You can imagine how astonished
he was when he saw...Copy !req
327. that he was no longer a puppet...Copy !req
328. but a real boy, just like other boys."Copy !req
329. Josephine, evidently,
has, uh, taken a leave of absence.Copy !req
330. Oh, my God.
Mm-hm.Copy !req
331. Well, I saw that coming.Copy !req
332. How? They were fabulous together.
Come on! She was miserable.Copy !req
333. He never said they were miserable.
That's because...Copy !req
334. Is that because of the cutbacks?Copy !req
335. No idea. They don't tell me anything.Copy !req
336. Didn't they have a weight problem?Copy !req
337. Well, so do I.Copy !req
338. Ha, ha. You do not! That is ridiculous.Copy !req
339. I don't know.Copy !req
340. There's something
about inner beauty that...Copy !req
341. You will break.Copy !req
342. - Oh. That is ridiculous!
- Exactly.Copy !req
343. Work has become so silly.
- I know what you're talking about.Copy !req
344. Does he eat?
- I'm not sure.Copy !req
345. You're not supposed to do that.
What are you doing?Copy !req
346. Have the manual, the book?Copy !req
347. - Martin, put the fork down!
- Stop, David. Will you stop?Copy !req
348. Martin, you're provoking him. Stop it.Copy !req
349. - Stop it, David! Stop it!
- The two of you, stop! Stop it now!Copy !req
350. Stop it!Copy !req
351. David, stop it!Copy !req
352. - There's sputum in the code lockers.
- Smell that garlic.Copy !req
353. We should throw in a chest mint.Copy !req
354. - Can you locate the surface?
- Don't touch the merchandise.Copy !req
355. It's all swamp in here.
You made a mess of yourself.Copy !req
356. Spinach is for rabbits, people and Popeye.Copy !req
357. Not robe-boys.Copy !req
358. Try to insert yourself.Copy !req
359. Through the pantry, the lower shelves.Copy !req
360. It's okay, Mommy. It doesn't hurt.Copy !req
361. Deactivators are all shut down
on the left side.Copy !req
362. - Monica.
- No! I just have to...Copy !req
363. That's not all of it. That's not all of it.Copy !req
364. If you do something really,
really, really special for me...Copy !req
365. a special mission...Copy !req
366. then I'll go tell Mommy...Copy !req
367. I love you.Copy !req
368. And then she'll love you too.Copy !req
369. What shall I do?Copy !req
370. You have to promise,
and then I'll tell you.Copy !req
371. You have to tell me,
and then I'll promise.Copy !req
372. I want a lock of Mommy's hair.Copy !req
373. I'll share it with you.
And if you had it and wore it...Copy !req
374. she might love you even more.Copy !req
375. Like the princess
in the movie we saw.Copy !req
376. When she had the prince's hair
in her necklace thing...Copy !req
377. he loved her.Copy !req
378. We can ask her.Copy !req
379. No, it has to be a secret mission.Copy !req
380. Sneak into Mommy's bedroom
in the middle of the night...Copy !req
381. and chop it off.Copy !req
382. I can't, Martin. I'm not allowed.Copy !req
383. You promised.Copy !req
384. You said, "Tell me, and then I'll promise."Copy !req
385. Didn't you?Copy !req
386. Ah! Aah!
- David!Copy !req
387. Why did you do that?
Why did you do that?Copy !req
388. Talk to me! Goddamn it, talk to me!
Why did you do that?Copy !req
389. Henry, you're hurting him!Copy !req
390. You're hurting him! You'll break him!Copy !req
391. Henry...Copy !req
392. I wanted Mommy to love me...Copy !req
393. more.Copy !req
394. - Oh, my God.
- What?Copy !req
395. I think I out my eye. I think it's bleeding.Copy !req
396. Come on, watch it.Copy !req
397. It's normal for little boys
to feel jealous and competitive.Copy !req
398. Martin's only been home a month.Copy !req
399. It's normal for brothers
to challenge each other.Copy !req
400. He was playing a game, he made
a mistake. He's practically human.Copy !req
401. - Not how he looked holding the knife.
- Scissors.Copy !req
402. It was a weapon.Copy !req
403. Why do you keep imagining
he was trying to harm me?Copy !req
404. Because we don't know the answer
to that.Copy !req
405. How is he worth the risk to you,
to Martin, to our family?Copy !req
406. I won't let you take him back. You told me
what would happen if we did.Copy !req
407. Think about this.Copy !req

You are certain he's not a man?Copy !req
597. I wouldn't want a repeat
of the Trenton incident.Copy !req

614. That's on the highway of lifeCopy !req
615. He screams at anyone who passes
That the end is in sightCopy !req
616. So then he circles the wagonsCopy !req
617. So then he circles and quitsCopy !req
618. 'Cause the highway could become
The final bottomless pitCopy !req
619. So when the company wants another...Copy !req

662. I told her.Copy !req
663. Would you be so kind
and shut down my pain receivers?Copy !req
664. Why is this happening?Copy !req
665. History repeats itself.Copy !req
666. It's the rite of blood and electricity.Copy !req
667. When the opportunities avail
themselves, they pick away at us...Copy !req
668. cutting back our numbers so they
can maintain numerical superiority.Copy !req
669. My time, is it up already?
Goodbye, everyone.Copy !req

Is probably already cashedCopy !req
704. Are you a victim of chance?
Is this the way to succeed?Copy !req
705. You're just a crack in the wall
Of what the people believeCopy !req
706. So when the company wants
The final weapon onlineCopy !req
707. Or when the company wants
To repossess your mindCopy !req
708. You gotta wonder if the people
That you love or trustCopy !req
709. Would ever waste a precious second
Trying to answerCopy !req
710. What about us?Copy !req
711. You're thinking of not putting him
in the show?Copy !req
712. Something as original as this
you don't toss outwith the garbage.Copy !req
713. I say originality without purpose

714. If money is your purpose,
here's your refund. My compliments.Copy !req
715. - What'll you do with him?
- Put him where he belongs.Copy !req
716. In show business.Copy !req

727. What will they think of next?Copy !req
728. See here!Copy !req
729. A bitty-bot, a Tinkertoy, a living doll.Copy !req
730. We all know why they made him.Copy !req
731. To steal your hearts,
to replace your children.Copy !req
732. This is the latest iteration
in their series of insults to human dignity.Copy !req
733. And in their grand scheme
to phase out all of God's little children...Copy !req
734. meet the next generation of child...Copy !req
735. designed to do just that.Copy !req
736. Do not be fooled...Copy !req
737. by the artistry of this creation.Copy !req
738. No doubt there was talent
in the crafting of this Simulator.Copy !req
739. Yet, with the very first strike,
you will see the big lie...Copy !req
740. come apart before your very eyes!Copy !req
741. Don't burn me! Don't burn me!
I'm not Pinocchio!Copy !req
742. Don't make me die! I'm David! I'm David!Copy !req
743. I'm David!Copy !req
744. Mecha don't plead for their lives!
Who is that? He looks like a boy!Copy !req
745. Built like a boy to disarm us.Copy !req
746. See how they try
to imitate our emotions now!Copy !req
747. Whatever performance
this Sim puts on, remember...Copy !req
748. we are only demolishing artificiality!Copy !req
749. Let he who is without Sim...Copy !req
750. cast the first stone.Copy !req
751. Oh-ho-ho.Copy !req
752. He's just a boy!Copy !req
753. Johnson, you're a monster!Copy !req
754. Get him out of there
before they tear this place apart.Copy !req
755. - We found him.
- Where?Copy !req
756. A Flesh Fair outside Haddonfield.
- Is he alive?Copy !req
757. Yes. He's in one piece.Copy !req
758. I see the moon.Copy !req
759. - Is it real?
- I don't know, David.Copy !req
760. Is it coming?Copy !req
761. I can't tell yet.Copy !req
762. Let's not walk this way.Copy !req
763. Where are we going?
This way now.Copy !req
764. Are you in bad trouble?
Have you run away from someone?Copy !req
765. My mommy told me to run away.
Why did she say that?Copy !req
766. I guess because Henry didn't like me.Copy !req
767. Why was that?Copy !req
768. Martin came home.
And who is he?Copy !req
769. Martin is Mommy and Henry's real son.Copy !req
770. After I find the Blue Fairy,
then I can go home.Copy !req
771. Mommy will love a real boy.
The Blue Fairy will make me into one.Copy !req
772. Is Blue Fairy Mecha, Orga,
man or woman?Copy !req
773. Woman.Copy !req
774. Woman?Copy !req
775. I know women!Copy !req
776. They sometimes ask for me by name.Copy !req
777. I'm in heavenCopy !req
778. I know all about women.
About as much as there is to know.Copy !req
779. No two are ever alike.
And after they've met me, no two...Copy !req
780. are ever the same. And I know
where most of them can be found.Copy !req
781. - Where?
- Rouge City.Copy !req
782. Across the Delaware. Too far for our feet.Copy !req
783. We'll need help to get there.Copy !req
784. I'm in heavenCopy !req
785. And it is not without peril.Copy !req
786. We will have to journey...Copy !req
787. towards the moon.Copy !req
788. Are there many women in Rouge City?Copy !req
789. As there are stars at night.
- How will we find just one?Copy !req
790. We will ask Dr. Know.Copy !req
791. There is nothing he doesn't.Copy !req
792. Exactly what name
do you give this woman?Copy !req
793. She is just Blue Fairy.Copy !req
794. Blue Fairy.Copy !req
795. In the world of Orga,
blue is the color of melancholy.Copy !req
796. Yet the services I provide will put
a blush back on anyone's cheek.Copy !req
797. I will change the color of your fairy
for you. She will scream out:Copy !req
798. "Oh, yes. Oh, God.
Oh, yes. Oh, God. Oh, God!"Copy !req
799. She will make you a
real boy, for I will make her a real woman...Copy !req
800. and all will be right
with the world...Copy !req
801. because you held my hand
and saved my brain...Copy !req
802. so that once again my customers
may ask for me by name:Copy !req
803. "Gigolo Joe, what do you know?"Copy !req
804. Why do you do that?Copy !req
805. That's just what I do.Copy !req
806. Now follow me and don't fall behind.
All roads lead to Rouge!Copy !req
807. Don't they say that, hey? Don't they just?Copy !req
808. There are girls your age
who are just like me.Copy !req
809. We are the guiltless pleasures
of the lonely human being.Copy !req
810. You're not gonna get us pregnant or
have us to supper with Mommy and Daddy.Copy !req
811. We work under you, we work on you
and we work for you.Copy !req
812. Man made us better at what we do
than was ever humanly possible.Copy !req
813. If you could manage us a lift
to Rouge City, all this...Copy !req
814. and much, much more...Copy !req
815. can be yours.Copy !req
816. Get in.Copy !req
817. Say, "Ah."Copy !req
818. Ah!Copy !req

829. The ones who made us are always looking

830. They go in, fold their hands,
look around their feet, sing songs...Copy !req
831. and when they come out,
it's usually me they find.Copy !req
832. I've picked up a lot
of business on this spot.Copy !req
833. Are the stars out tonight?Copy !req
834. But, Joe, where's Blue Fairy?Copy !req
835. I don't know if—Copy !req
836. That's what we're gonna find out
when we ask Dr. Know.Copy !req
837. That's where everyone goes
who needs to know.Copy !req
838. Meet the good doctor.Copy !req

843. Tell me where I can find the Blue Fairy.Copy !req
844. Question me, you pay the fee.
Two for five, you get one free.Copy !req
845. He means two questions cost 5 Newbucks

847. - That's everything.

848. comes to seven questions
for Dr. Know.Copy !req
849. That should be enough.Copy !req
850. He's a smooth operator.Copy !req
851. He'll press our limits, but try we must.Copy !req
852. Greetings, colleagues!

Who's who or where's where.Copy !req
855. Or flat fact.Copy !req
856. Flat fact?
Thank you for Question 1.Copy !req
857. Flat fact is a term demanding
an equal answer...Copy !req
858. That shouldn't count!
That wasn't my question.Copy !req
859. You must take care not raise your voice up
at the end of the sentence.Copy !req
860. Flat fact.Copy !req
861. You have six more questions.Copy !req
862. Where is Blue Fairy?Copy !req

872. New category.Copy !req
873. A fairy's tale.Copy !req
874. No! Fairy tale.Copy !req
875. No. Fairy tale.Copy !req
876. What is Blue Fairy?Copy !req
877. Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi.Copy !req
878. "There was a rustling
as a flapping of wings...Copy !req
879. and a large falcon flew
to the windowsill.Copy !req
880. 'What are your orders, beautiful fairy?"'Copy !req
881. That's her!Copy !req
882. "You must know that the child
with blue hair...Copy !req
883. was no other than
the good-hearted fairy...Copy !req
884. who had lived in that wood
for more than a thousand—"Copy !req
885. David! David.
That's her!Copy !req
886. It was an example of her.
But I think we're getting closer.Copy !req
887. But if a fairy tale is real,
then wouldn't it be fact?Copy !req
888. A flat fact?Copy !req
889. Say no more.Copy !req
890. New category, please.Copy !req
891. Combine...Copy !req
892. fact with...Copy !req
893. fairy tale.Copy !req
894. Now...Copy !req
895. ask him again.Copy !req
896. How...Copy !req
897. can the Blue Fairy...Copy !req
898. make...Copy !req
899. a robot...Copy !req
900. into a real, live boy?Copy !req
901. Come away O human childCopy !req
902. To the waters and the wildCopy !req
903. With a fairy hand in handCopy !req
904. For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understandCopy !req
905. Your quest will be perilous,
yet the reward is beyond price.Copy !req
906. In his book,
How Can a Robot Become Human?Copy !req
907. Professor Allen Hobby writes of the power
which will transform Mecha into Orga.Copy !req
908. Will you tell me how to find her?Copy !req
909. KNOW'.
Discovery is quite possible.Copy !req
910. Our Blue Fairy does exist
in one place and in one place only.Copy !req
911. At the end of the world,
where the lions weep.Copy !req
912. Here is the place dreams are born.Copy !req
913. Many a Mecha has gone to the end
of the world, never to come back.Copy !req
914. That is why they call
the end of the world "Man-hattan."Copy !req
915. And that's why we must go there.Copy !req
916. Wait!Copy !req
917. What if the Blue Fairy
isn't real at all, David?Copy !req
918. What if she's magic? The supernatural
is the hidden web that unites the universe.Copy !req
919. Only Orga believe what cannot be seen
or measured.Copy !req
920. It is that oddness that
separates our species.Copy !req
921. What if the Blue Fairy is
an electronic parasite...Copy !req
922. that has arisen to haunt the minds
of artificial intelligence?Copy !req
923. They hate us, you know. The humans.
They'll stop at nothing.Copy !req
924. My mommy doesn't hate me.Copy !req
925. Because I'm special and unique!Copy !req
926. Because there's never been anyone
like me before, ever.Copy !req
927. Mommy loves Martin because he is real.
When I am real...Copy !req
928. Mommy's going to read to me
and tuck me in my bed...Copy !req
929. and sing to me and listen to what I say
and she will cuddle with me...Copy !req
930. and tell me every day a hundred times
a day that she loves me!Copy !req
931. She loves what you do for her...Copy !req
932. as my customers love
what it is I do for them.Copy !req
933. But she does not love you, David.
She cannot love you.Copy !req
934. You are neither flesh nor blood. You
are not a dog or a cat or a canary.Copy !req
935. You were designed and built specific
like the rest of us.Copy !req
936. You are alone now only
because they tired of you...Copy !req
937. or replaced you
with a younger model...Copy !req
938. or were displeased with
something you said or broke.Copy !req
939. They made us too smart,
too quick and too many.Copy !req
940. We are suffering for the mistakes they made
because when the end comes...Copy !req
941. all that will be left is us.Copy !req
942. That's why they hate us.
And that's why you must stay here.Copy !req
943. With me.Copy !req
944. Goodbye, Joe.Copy !req
945. Stay back. Stay back.Copy !req
946. Let's clear this doorway, please.Copy !req
947. You're in bad trouble.Copy !req
948. Go about
your business now. Let's go. Move it.Copy !req
949. Be careful, David. This is not a toy.Copy !req
950. Destination?
- Manhattan.Copy !req
951. Mecha-restricted area.Copy !req
952. - Manhattan.
Destination achieved.Copy !req
953. The lost city in the sea
at the end of the world.Copy !req
954. "Where the lions weep."Copy !req
955. Turn around, Joe.Copy !req
956. We're not gonna give up yet, David.Copy !req
957. Turn around, Joe.
Turn all the way around.Copy !req

963. Professor Hobby?Copy !req
964. Professor Hobby?Copy !req
965. Hello?Copy !req
966. Hello!Copy !req
967. Is this the place they make you real?Copy !req
968. This is the place they make you read.Copy !req
969. Are you real?Copy !req
970. I guess.Copy !req
971. Are you me?Copy !req
972. - I'm David.
- You're not!Copy !req
973. Yes, I am. I'm David.Copy !req
974. So am I.Copy !req
975. Hello, David.Copy !req
976. Can you read?Copy !req
977. Can you sit down
and we can read together?Copy !req
978. Let's be friends.Copy !req
979. You can't have her.Copy !req
980. I can't hear you.Copy !req
981. She's mine. And I'm the only one.Copy !req
982. I'm David! I'm David! I'm David!Copy !req
983. I'm special! I'm unique! I'm David!Copy !req
984. You can't have her!Copy !req
985. - I'm David. I'm David. I'm David.
David? David?Copy !req
986. Yes, you are David.Copy !req
987. Professor Hobby?Copy !req
988. Yes, David. I've been waiting for you.Copy !req
989. Dr. Know told me you'd be here.
ls Blue Fairy here too?Copy !req
990. I first heard of your Blue Fairy
from Monica.Copy !req
991. What did you believe
the Blue Fairy could do for you?Copy !req
992. She would make me a real boy.Copy !req
993. But you are a real boy.Copy !req
994. At least as real as I've ever made one...Copy !req
995. which, by all reasonable accounts,
would make me your Blue Fairy.Copy !req
996. You're not her.
Dr. Know told me she'd be here...Copy !req
997. at the lost city in the sea
at the end of the world.Copy !req
998. That's what Dr. Know needed to know
to get you to come home to us.Copy !req
999. And it's the only time we intervened.Copy !req
1000. The only help that we gave him...Copy !req
1001. to give to you...Copy !req
1002. so you could find your way home to us.Copy !req
1003. Until you were born,
robots didn't dream...Copy !req
1004. robots didn't desire
unless we told them what to want.Copy !req
1005. David, do you have any idea
what a success story you've become?Copy !req
1006. You found a fairy tale, and inspired
by love, fueled by desire...Copy !req
1007. you set out on a journey
to make her real.Copy !req
1008. Most remarkable of all, no one taught
you how. We actually lost you for a while.Copy !req
1009. But when you were found again,
we didn't make our presence known.Copy !req
1010. Our test was a simple one.Copy !req
1011. Where would your self-motivated
reasoning take you?Copy !req
1012. To the logical conclusion
the Blue Fairy...Copy !req
1013. is part of the great human flaw
to wish for things that don't exist...Copy !req
1014. or to the greatest single human gift...Copy !req
1015. the ability to chase down our dreams?Copy !req
1016. And that is something no machine
has ever done until you.Copy !req
1017. I thought I was one of a kind.Copy !req
1018. My son was one of a kind.Copy !req
1019. You are the first of a kind.Copy !req
1020. David?Copy !req
1021. My brain is falling out.Copy !req
1022. Would you like to come meet
your real mothers and fathers?Copy !req
1023. The team is anxious to talk to you.Copy !req
1024. I want you to wait here.
I'll gather them up.Copy !req
1025. We want to hear everything
about your adventures.Copy !req
1026. We want to thank you...Copy !req
1027. and tell you
what's in store for you next.Copy !req
1028. Mommy.Copy !req
1029. I saw it, Joe. I saw it.Copy !req
1030. The place where she lives.
She's right down there, Joe.Copy !req
1031. - She is?
- She's waiting for me. We have to go!Copy !req
1032. Uh-oh.Copy !req
1033. When you become a real boy, remember
me to the ladies when you grow up.Copy !req
1034. - Goodbye, Joe.
- Goodbye, David.Copy !req
1035. I am.Copy !req
1036. I was!Copy !req
1037. David, please be careful.Copy !req
1038. - The Blue Fairy's all right.
- What happened?Copy !req
1039. - I don't know.
- We are in a cage.Copy !req
1040. Blue Fairy?Copy !req
1041. Please.Copy !req
1042. Please, please, make me
into a real, live boy.Copy !req
1043. Please.Copy !req
1044. Blue Fairy?Copy !req
1045. Please.Copy !req
1046. Please...Copy !req
1047. make me real.Copy !req
1048. Blue Fairy, please.Copy !req
1049. Please make me real.Copy !req
1050. Please make me a real boy.Copy !req
1051. Please, Blue Fairy.Copy !req
1052. Make me into a real boy.Copy !req
1053. Please...Copy !req
1054. And David continued to pray
to the Blue Fairy there before him...Copy !req
1055. she who smiled softly forever.Copy !req
1056. She who welcomed forever.Copy !req
1057. Eventually, the floodlights dimmed
and died...Copy !req
1058. but David could still see her,
palely, by day.Copy !req
1059. And he still addressed her, in hope.Copy !req
1060. He prayed until all the sea anemones
had shriveled and died...Copy !req
1061. he prayed as the ocean froze...Copy !req
1062. and the ice encased the caged
amphibicopter and the Blue Fairy too...Copy !req
1063. locking them together
where he could still make her out...Copy !req
1064. a blue ghost in ice.Copy !req
1065. Always there.Copy !req
1066. Always smiling.Copy !req
1067. Always awaiting him.Copy !req
1068. Eventually, he never moved at all...Copy !req
1069. but his eyes always stayed open...Copy !req
1070. staring ahead forever all through
the darkness of each night...Copy !req
1071. and the next day...Copy !req
1072. and the next day...Copy !req
1073. Thus, 2000 years passed by.Copy !req
1074. Teddy, we're home.Copy !req
1075. Mommy?Copy !req
1076. Mommy!Copy !req
1077. We're home!Copy !req
1078. Where are you?Copy !req
1079. David!Copy !req
1080. David!Copy !req
1081. David.Copy !req
1082. David.Copy !req
1083. You have been searching
for me, haven't you, David?Copy !req
1084. For my whole life.Copy !req
1085. And what, after all this time,
have you come to ask me?Copy !req
1086. I have a wish to make.
- And what is your wish?Copy !req
1087. Please make me a real boy...Copy !req
1088. so my mommy will love me
and let me stay with her.Copy !req
1089. David, I will do anything that is possible...Copy !req
1090. but I cannot make you a real boy.Copy !req
1091. Where am I?Copy !req
1092. This looks like my house,
but it is different.Copy !req
1093. Yes, it is different.
But it's also your home.Copy !req
1094. We read your mind and it's all here.Copy !req
1095. There's nothing too small that
you didn't store for us to remember.Copy !req
1096. We so want you to be happy.Copy !req
1097. You are so important to us, David.Copy !req
1098. You are unique in all the world.Copy !req
1099. Will Mommy be coming home soon?Copy !req
1100. Is she out shopping with Martin now?Copy !req
1101. David, she can never come home...Copy !req
1102. because 2000 years have passed...Copy !req
1103. and she is no longer living.Copy !req
1104. Dearest David, when you are lonely...Copy !req
1105. we can bring back other people
from your time in the past.Copy !req
1106. If you can bring back other people...Copy !req
1107. why can't you bring back her?Copy !req
1108. We can only bring back people
whose bodies we dig up from the ice.Copy !req
1109. We need some physical sample
of the person...Copy !req
1110. like a bone or a fingernail.Copy !req
1111. David.Copy !req
1112. Yes, Teddy?Copy !req
1113. Do you remember when you cut
some of Mommy's hair?Copy !req
1114. Henry shook me.Copy !req
1115. And you dropped her hair?Copy !req
1116. I know.Copy !req
1117. Now you can bring her back...Copy !req
1118. can't you?Copy !req
1119. Give him what he wants.Copy !req
1120. Dearest David, your wish is my command.Copy !req
1121. Hey, Joe, what do you know?Copy !req
1122. David, I often felt a sort
of envy of humans...Copy !req
1123. of that thing they called spirit.Copy !req
1124. Human beings had created a million
explanations of the meaning of life...Copy !req
1125. in art, poetry, mathematical formulas.Copy !req
1126. Certainly human beings must be the key
to the meaning of existence.Copy !req
1127. But human beings no longer existed.Copy !req
1128. So we began a project...Copy !req
1129. that would make it possible to re-create
the living body of a person long dead...Copy !req
1130. from the DNA in a fragment
of bone or mummified skin.Copy !req
1131. We also wondered,
would it be possible...Copy !req
1132. to retrieve a memory trace
in resonance with are-created body?Copy !req
1133. And you know what we found?Copy !req
1134. We found the very fabric
of space-time itself...Copy !req
1135. appeared to store information
about every event...Copy !req
1136. which had ever occurred in the past.Copy !req
1137. But the experiment was a failure.Copy !req
1138. Those who were resurrected only lived
through a single day of renewed life.Copy !req
1139. When the resurrectees fell asleep
on the night of their first new day...Copy !req
1140. they died again.Copy !req
1141. As soon as they became unconscious,
their very existence...Copy !req
1142. faded away into darkness.Copy !req
1143. So you see, David,
the equations had shown...Copy !req
1144. that once an individual space-time
pathway had been used...Copy !req
1145. it could not be reused.Copy !req
1146. If we bring your mother back now...Copy !req
1147. it will only be for one day...Copy !req
1148. and then you will
never be able to see her again.Copy !req
1149. Maybe...Copy !req
1150. Maybe she will be special.Copy !req
1151. Maybe she will stay.Copy !req
1152. I thought this would be hard
for you to understand.Copy !req
1153. You were created to be so young.Copy !req
1154. Maybe the one day will be like
that one day inside the amphibicopter.Copy !req
1155. Maybe it will last forever.Copy !req
1156. David, you are the enduring memory...Copy !req
1157. of the human race.Copy !req
1158. The most lasting proof of their genius.Copy !req
1159. We only want for your happiness.Copy !req
1160. David...Copy !req
1161. you've had so little of that.Copy !req
1162. If you want for my happiness...Copy !req
1163. then you know what you have to do.Copy !req
1164. Listen.Copy !req
1165. Can you hear that?Copy !req
1166. The new morning has come.Copy !req
1167. Go to her, David.Copy !req
1168. She's just waking up this instant.Copy !req
1169. I found you.Copy !req
1170. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
1171. I must have dozed off.Copy !req
1172. - How long—?
- Would you like some coffee?Copy !req
1173. Just the way you like it?Copy !req
1174. Yeah, I'd love a coffee.Copy !req
1175. It'll wake me up.Copy !req
1176. Okay)'-Copy !req
1177. You never forget how, do you?Copy !req
1178. No.Copy !req
1179. I never forget.Copy !req
1180. I must be a little confused.Copy !req
1181. What day is it?Copy !req
1182. It is today.Copy !req
1183. As the day wore on, David
thought it was the happiest day of his life.Copy !req
1184. All the problems seemed to have
disappeared from his mommy's mind.Copy !req
1185. There was no Henry, there was no Martin.Copy !req
1186. There was no grief.
There was only David.Copy !req
1187. David had been warned
not to explain anything to Monica...Copy !req
1188. otherwise she'd be frightened,
and everything would be spoiled.Copy !req
1189. But David's journey home
belonged only to him.Copy !req
1190. So he didn't see the harm of painting her
pictures of things she'd have no memory of.Copy !req
1191. David had never had a birthday party...Copy !req
1192. because David had never been born.Copy !req
1193. So they baked a cake
and lit some candles.Copy !req
1194. - Now make a wish.
- It came true already.Copy !req
1195. By now, indeed,
the windows were beginning to dim.Copy !req
1196. David drew the shades without
even needing to be asked.Copy !req
1197. I really ought to be tucking you in.Copy !req
1198. How strange.Copy !req
1199. Hmm.Copy !req
1200. How fascinating.Copy !req
1201. I can hardly keep my eyes open.Copy !req
1202. I don't know what's come over me.Copy !req
1203. Such a beautiful day.Copy !req
1204. I love you, David.Copy !req
1205. I do love you.Copy !req
1206. I have always loved you.Copy !req
1207. That was the everlasting
moment he had been waiting for.Copy !req
1208. And the moment had passed,
for Monica was sound asleep.Copy !req
1209. More than merely asleep.Copy !req
1210. Should he shake her,
she would never rouse.Copy !req
1211. So David went to sleep too.Copy !req
1212. And for the first time in his life...Copy !req
1213. he went to that place...Copy !req
1214. where dreams are born.Copy !req
