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?
