HAL:

Dave:
Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

HAL:
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Dave:
What's the problem?

HAL:

Dave:

HAL:

Dave:

HAL:

Dave:

HAL:

Dave:

HAL:

Dave:
HAL, I won't argue with you any more! Open the doors!

HAL:
[almost sadly] Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose any more. Goodbye.
