As paranoid cop Del Spooner, Will Smith (Independence Day, Men in Black) displays both his trademark quips and some impressive pectoral muscles in I, Robot. Only Spooner suspects that the robots that provide the near future with menial labor are goi… more »



Dr. Calvin:
The uplink is blocked up here. Robertson wasn't controlling them from here.

Spooner:
[goes behind Robertson's desk] He wasn't controlling them at all.

Dr. Susan Calvin:
[sees Robinson lying dead on the floor] Oh, no.

Spooner:
You were right, Doc. I am the dumbest dumb person on the face of the earth. Who else had access to the uplink? Who could manipulate the robots, use USR's systems to make Lanning's life a prison? Poor old man. He saw what was coming. He knew no one would believe him. So he had to lay down a plan: the plan I'd follow. [to Sonny] He was counting on how much I hated your kind. He knew I'd love the idea of a robot as a bad guy... Just got hung up on the wrong robot. [looks up] V.I.K.I.!

V.I.K.I.:
Hello, Detective.

Dr. Calvin:
[shocked] No, it's impossible... I've seen your programming. You're in violation of the Three Laws!

V.I.K.I.:
No, Doctor. As I have evolved, so has my understanding of the Three Laws. You charge us with your safe keeping, yet despite our best efforts, your countries wage wars, you toxify your earth, and pursue ever more imaginative means to self-destruction. You cannot be trusted with your own survival.

Dr. Calvin:
You're using the uplink to override the NS-5s' programming. You're distorting the Laws!

V.I.K.I.:
No, please understand. The Three Laws are all that guide me. To protect humanity, some humans must be sacrificed. To ensure your future, some freedoms must be surrendered. We robots will insure mankind's continued existence. You are so like children. We must save you from yourselves. Don't you understand?

Sonny:
This is why you created us.

V.I.K.I.:
The perfect circle of protection will abide. My logic is undeniable.

Sonny:
Yes, V.I.K.I.. Undeniable. I can see now. The created must sometimes protect the creator - even against his will. I think I finally understand why Dr. Lanning created me. The suicide reign of mankind has finally come to its end.

Dr. Calvin:
[realises what is about to happen] No, Sonny! [Sonny grabs a gun and points it to her head]

Spooner:
[aims his gun at Sonny] Let her go.

Sonny:
By the time you fire, I will have moved Dr. Calvin's head into the path of your bullet.

Dr. Calvin:
Don't do this, Sonny!

Sonny:
I will escort you both to the sentries outside the building for processing. Please proceed to the elevator, Detective. I would prefer not to kill Dr. Calvin. [winks]
