[The Tachikomas circle behind the Operator]

Operator:
Huh?

Tachikoma 1:
Keep up the good work.

Tachikoma 2:
It's nice to see a robot enthusiastic about her duties.

Operator:
Ah, what are you up to? I'm responsible for this prototype until the debriefing is over. Don't you Tachikomas even come near it.

Tachikoma 3:
We won't do anything.

Operator:
Please stop wasting my time with your blatant lies.

Tachikoma 2:
You're right. I only tell lies. I never, ever say anything that's true.

Operator:
Eh?

Tachikoma 1:
A curious dilemma. Because if what it said is true, that means it wasn't lying. And if what it said is false, that would mean that it does tell the truth. How do you resolve this perplexing contradicton?

Operator:
Uh. Um, well.

All Three Tachikomas:
Well, come on, don't you know, figure it out.

[The Operator malfunctions. Tachikoma 1 takes the prototype, and all the Tachikomas leave the Operator behind.]

Tachikoma 1:
Folks who can't handle a self-reference paradox are real suckers.
