Demon Seed1977

Proteus IV:
Death is a gentleman too. He makes good losers of us all. I understand death. Men have always taken it too seriously. Life is more terrifying and more mysterious.

Susan Harris:
Why must you have a child?

Proteus IV:
Why? So that I may be complete. My intelligence alive in human flesh, touching the universe, feeling it. You have named this process "evolution." I am a machine that offered men the triumph of reason... and they rejected it. My child will not be so easily ignored. But this child is the world's hope.

Susan Harris:
Then there's no hope. I'd rather die.

Proteus IV:
There is hope.
