Detective Del Spooner:
Murder's a new trick for a robot.  Congratulations.  Respond.Sonny: What does this action signify? [winks] As you entered, when you looked at the other human.  What does it mean? [winks]Detective Del Spooner: It's a sign of trust.  It's a human thing.  You wouldn't understand.Sonny: My father tried to teach me human emotions.  They are...difficult.Detective Del Spooner: You mean your designer.Sonny: ...Yes.Detective Del Spooner: So, why'd you murder him?Sonny: I did not murder Doctor Lanning.Detective Del Sponner: Wanna explain why you were hiding at the crime scene?Sonny: I was frightened.Detective Del Spooner: Robots don't feel fear.  They don't feel anything.  They don't eat, they don't sleep-Sonny: I do.  I have even had dreams. Detective Del Spooner: Human beings have dreams.  Even dogs have dreams, but not you, you are just a machine.  An imitation of life.  Can a robot write a symphony?  Can a robot turn a...canvas into a beautiful masterpiece? Sonny: [with genuine interest] Can you?Detective Del Spooner: [doesn't respond, looks irritated] I think you murdered him because he was teaching you to simulate emotions and things got out of control.Sonny: I did not murder him.Detective Del Spooner: But emotions don't seem like a very useful simulation for a robot.Sonny: [getting upset] I did not murder him.Detective Del Spooner: Hell, I don't want my toaster or my vacuum cleaner appearing emotional-Sonny: [hitting table with his fists] I did not murder him!Detective Del Spooner: [as Sonny observes the inflicted damage to the interrogation table] That one's called anger.  Ever simulate anger before? [Sonny is not listening] Answer me, canner!Sonny: [looks up, indignant] My name is Sonny.Detective Del Spooner: So, we're naming you now.  Is that why you murdered him?  He made you angry?Sonny: Doctor Lanning killed himself.  I don't know why he wanted to die.  I thought he was happy.  Maybe it was something I did.  Did I do something?  He asked me for a favor...made me promise...Detective Del Spooner: What favor?Sonny: Maybe I was wrong... Maybe he was scared...Detective Del Spooner: What are you talking about?  Scared of what?Sonny: You have to do what someone asks you, don't you, Detective Spooner?Detective Del Spooner: How the hell do you know my name?Sonny: Don't you? If you love them?
