List of voters for the quote

[HAL watches them speak, reading their lips]Frank: Let's say we put the unit back and it doesn't fail, huh? That would pretty well wrap it up as far as HAL is concerned, wouldn't it?Dave: Well, we'd be in very serious trouble.Frank: We would, wouldn't we?Dave: Hmm, hmm.Frank: What the hell can we do?Dave: Well, we wouldn't have too many alternatives.Frank: I don't think we'd have any alternatives. There isn't a single aspect of ship operations that's not under his control. If he were proven to be malfunctioning, I wouldn't see how we would have any choice but disconnection.Dave: I'm afraid I agree with you.Frank: There'd be nothing else to do.Dave: It would be a bit tricky.Frank: Yeah.Dave: We would have to cut his higher-brain functions...without disturbing the purely automatic and regulatory systems. And we'd have to work out the transfer procedures of continuing the mission under ground-based computer control.Frank: Yeah. Well that's far safer than allowing HAL to continue running things.Dave: You know, another thing just occurred to me...Well, as far as I know, no 9000 computer has ever been disconnected.Frank: No 9000 computer has ever fouled up before.Dave: That's not what I mean...Well I'm not so sure what he'd think about it.
