Avon:
Now then, Orac. Are you going to function or are you not?

Orac:
All principal circuits are operating at full capacity and cannot receive new programs at this time.

Roj Blake:

Orac:
Circuit clearance and reprogramming will take precisely one hour and thirty-seven point nine seconds.

Roj Blake:
That could be just a little late.

Orac:
[Testily:] State your program requirements; they will be implemented when capacity is available.
