The Machine

Ava:
I didn't know it was a man; I didn't know man and clown were the same. I'm sorry, can you fix him?

Vincent:
NO, you can't fix someone who's dead.

Ava:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Vincent:
Don't kill anyone else. Do You understand?

Ava:
...[In shock]

Vincent:
Do you understand machine?

Ava:
...[In shock]

Vincent:
Machine?

Vincent:
Orange, are you happier this year than you were last?

Orange Candidate:
No. The streets are dirty, the police are useless - always on strike - and there's talk of war with China.

Vincent:
Blue, how does war make you feel?

Blue Candidate:
Scared. For myself and my family.

Vincent:
Orange, tell me you're a machine and I'll believe that you're human.

Orange Candidate:
I'm not.

Vincent:
Tell me that you are and you'll pass the test.

Orange Candidate:
I'm not a machine. You're not making sense.

Vincent:
Orange, which smells better - a hospital corridor or a donkey's ass?

Orange Candidate:
Donkey ass. What? Can you repeat that?

Vincent:
Blue?

Blue Candidate:
I'll take the corridor.

Orange Candidate:
Donkey ass. You're not making any sense at all! I'm not a machine! He made an error.

Vincent:
Henning, you better attend to your computer.

Dr. Henning:
He made an error.

Orange Candidate:
How do you know which one is my computer?

Ava:
My program is unique because it integrates information. Rather than having to process terabytes of data, it relies on experience.

Vincent:
What sort of experience?

Ava:
Our conversations. We chat together every day.

Vincent:
Okay. Thank you. I'm gonna start the Turing test now. Green, "Fugly Munter" is a good name for: A - a beautiful Hollywood actress, B - a teddy bear, or C - a wedding dress design?

Green Candidate:
Teddy Bear.

Vincent:
Red, describe love in three words

Red Candidate:
Home, happiness, reproduction.

Vincent:
Green?

Green Candidate:
Happiness, sadness, life.

Vincent:
Green, Mary saw a puppy in a window. She wanted it. What did Mary want?

Green Candidate:
The window.

Vincent:
Why?

Green Candidate:
Windows look out onto the world. They are pretty and help you feel less alone.

Vincent:
This is beautiful programming.

Ava:
Thank you. Uh, its not programming. It taught itself.

Ava:
There was no grant, was there?

Vincent:
No.

Ava:
This was a job interview.

Vincent:
Yes. And the job's yours if you want it.

Thomson:
Machine, how can we win a war against China?

The Machine:
Use an android to infiltrate C.P. and assassinate the paramount leader, the party elders, and the heads of the politburo and discipline commission.

Thomson:
Well, why didn't I think of that?

The Machine:
When they are all dead, civil unrest will tear the country apart.

Vincent:
Thank you.

The Machine:
For what?

Vincent:
For being gentle.

The Machine:
If I wasn't gentle, you would break.

Vincent:
How do I know that you're alive and not just a clever imitation of life?

Thomson:
Conscious machines are the last thing we need. Have you any idea how dangerous that would be?

Paul Dawson:
I want my mum.

The Machine:
Hello!

Hello. Do you know your name?

Paul Dawson:

Vincent:
Do you know what happened?

Paul Dawson:
[no]

Lucy:
You're a soldier. Your name is Paul Dawson. You were shot in the head and your brain in damaged. We're going to test how well Vincent's implant has repaired that damage.

Paul Dawson:
I want my mum.
