Speaker 4: I want to look at it.

27
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 9: I would have put it down in the basement, but

28
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,039
I couldn't lift it.

29
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,319
Speaker 4: Hey, this is pretty heavy for a sapaniel.

30
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,400

00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 9: I'll start dinner as soon as I finished this part

32
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,360

33
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,039
the light's right.

34
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, so I no hurry. I want to

35
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,759
examine the kid anyhow.

36
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 9: Of course, if you didn't waste our money on things

37
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,000
like dog kids, maybe we could afford a robot and

38
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:46,840
I wouldn't.

39
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 5: Have to cook.

40
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, all right, all right, all.

41
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,319
Speaker 9: Right there that should be enough for now. Light's beginning

42
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:53,960
to get tricky.

43
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,479
Speaker 5: Gord Night.

44
00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:58,879
Speaker 9: You're not going to open that thing here on the

45
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,000
terrace now you make a mess.

46
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to see the partler. You know

47
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,319
this thing's too big and heavy to be a dog kid.

48
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 7: Maybe it's a Great Dane.

49
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 5: No, no, no, it can't be. Look here's the shipping tag.

50
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,199
Speaker 9: From how two kits Ink to Gordon Night one dog

51
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,560
kit Spaniel model two hundred and fifty dollars paid in full.

52
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 5: The Great Dane costs three hundred and fifty.

53
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 9: Well I can say is that must be the world's

54
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,520
biggest spaniel.

55
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: Hey, you know that's that's darn funny.

56
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 9: I told you I don't want you fooling around with

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,560
it up here, and I take it down.

58
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: This can't be a dog kid, you know what. I

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,479
think it's a robot.

60
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: A robot.

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 9: But you didn't order a robot, or did you?

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: No? No, certainly not. They made a shipping error. That's

63
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,759
about the size of it. Ah dog gunn.

64
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:44,639
Speaker 2: I don't have to put this crape back together again

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,039
and call it express company.

66
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 9: Are you going to return it?

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: Well, certainly I'm going to return it. You don't think

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,599
we can keep it.

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Do you?

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,039
Speaker 9: Why not? The tag says paid in full, so they

71
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,479
can't say we owe them anything.

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,599
Speaker 5: But it's a robot. They're expensive.

73
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 9: Well I don't see how the company we'll ever know

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,639
when inventory time comes around, they'll be short one robot

75
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:02,719
and long one dog.

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,719
Speaker 2: Because I've always wanted to put together a real robot.

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,639
Lord knows when i'd get another chance.

78
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:09,639
Speaker 7: Then it's settled.

79
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: No, no, no, it is not settled either.

80
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I'll I'll put it together just

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,040
to see what it's like, but I won't activate it.

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,800
See I mean, I'll you know, disassemble it right away

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:32,199
and ship it back to the company.

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,639
Speaker 5: Hell, there we are and grace. Look look at it

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,120
in that beauty though. You finished, well, all but the

86
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:42,920
activating grace.

87
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:47,199
Speaker 2: What you know, I'm not just thinking? How do I

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,360
know I've got all the parts adjusted properly?

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 9: I haven't the remotest idea.

90
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: No you know, I mean the only sure away would

91
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,439
be the tested you mean activating, well, only for a

92
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:58,439
minute or two, you understand, I mean just to be sure.

93
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,240
Then what Well, then I'll and disassemble it naturally. Well,

94
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,160
all right, as long as you don't take too long. No, no, no no,

95
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:07,720
I'll have it in a jiffy now here. Look you see,

96
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,199
all I have to do is just put on the

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,279
activating plate.

98
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and turn this lock.

99
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:17,199
Speaker 2: Nut ain't like so now wait a minute, just just

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,000
the automatic current control.

101
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 5: Yeah there, Now that that should do it.

102
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: Now stand back, stand back now I'll turn it on

103
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:25,879
and I hope.

104
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,879
Speaker 5: It lay to work.

105
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 7: It'll work.

106
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 5: I followed the directions to the letter. You're ready.

107
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:38,199
Speaker 2: Now it works, I'll have to oil that joint. Wait,

108
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,000
gratically moving its head.

109
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,319
Speaker 10: My name is Alder. I am a robot. What is

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:46,959
there to do?

111
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:48,959
Speaker 5: Well?

112
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 7: It certainly has a nice voice.

113
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: Now now take it easy, but just sit down and

114
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,120
rest and we'll have a little talk.

115
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,319
Speaker 10: There's no need to rest. I was made to work.

116
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 9: Well, it's long, is he? It doesn't need to rest.

117
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:04,399
I can think of one hundred things for it to do.

118
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 7: Now there's the house and the garden, and Lord, look, Grace.

119
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,079
Speaker 9: I wonder if he could learn to cook.

120
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 10: A robot can be taught to do anything a person

121
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:11,839
can do.

122
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: Hold on a minute, Albert, please and listen to me.

123
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,079
We can't keep you. You understand, I mean you were

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,040
sent here by a mistake.

125
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:21,519
Speaker 2: But I mean, as long as you're activated, there wouldn't

126
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,199
be any harm in letting you do.

127
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 5: A few things.

128
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,879
Speaker 10: I can do anything good.

129
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 9: The whole house needs a thorough cleaning, Grace. Then of

130
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,759
course I'd like some new drapes for the study. And

131
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,360
the kitchen hasn't been painted for four years. Then there's

132
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,120
that leaky foss.

133
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 5: Oh Lord, well, what's the matter? Attachments? There on?

134
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,319
Speaker 2: Eddy, He can't do all that stuff without attachments, and

135
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,480
they cost almost as much as the robot itself.

136
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 10: And don't worry about attachments. Just tell me what's to

137
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,000
be done.

138
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 5: Well, you heard my wife?

139
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:50,199
Speaker 10: Or what about your grounds?

140
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 2: Oh? I got a hundred beat up acres and need attention.

141
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,199
But because I realized that that's too much work.

142
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 10: Huh, don't worry about a thing. I can fix it

143
00:06:58,959 --> 00:06:59,399
for you.

144
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: Make them necessary, make your own attachment.

145
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:04,439
Speaker 10: Don't worry about a thing.

146
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 9: But oh, for Heaven's sake, stop arguing with him and

147
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:08,160
let him get to work.

148
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: I'm arguing.

149
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:20,319
Speaker 9: Morning, Gordon.

150
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 7: The coffee is ready. I just sleep here.

151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,839
Speaker 8: Oh so good, kept hearing noises all Now that was

152
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Albert working in the basement.

153
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:31,519
Speaker 5: Albert, Hey, gosh, that's right. I forgot. Robots don't sleep.

154
00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 9: He was working all night. When I came into the

155
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:35,680
kitchen just now, I found the breakfast all prepared.

156
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:37,199
Speaker 5: He can cook.

157
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 9: Isn't that wonderful?

158
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: Yeah? What's he doing now?

159
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,879
Speaker 9: I don't know, making something? I think, Oh, Gordon, he's

160
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,199
going to be such a tremendous help to me. I'll

161
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,120
be able to spend more time than ever with my painter.

162
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, what makes you think we can

163
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:49,199
keep him?

164
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 5: I mean they're not no grace. I mean we could

165
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,279
get into Trump.

166
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,279
Speaker 9: Don't see how. I'll tell you what. Why don't you

167
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:56,959
walk over and call on Anson Lee? He could advise you.

168
00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: What does he know about it?

169
00:07:58,959 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 7: He's a lawyer.

170
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,439
Speaker 2: Well technically he's a lawyer. I mean, never seems to

171
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,480
work at it anymore.

172
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 7: We have to understand and and that's all.

173
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: Look, I understand them, all right.

174
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: He's a reactionary, a throwback to the twentieth century, spends

175
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720
all his time lying in a hammock, drinking and reading proofs.

176
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,319
Speaker 7: Well, it's what he enjoy he's doing.

177
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: I'll bet that guy never assembled a kit in his life.

178
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: Can you imagine that?

179
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 9: Well, we all have our peculiarities just the same. He

180
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:23,439
could give you legal advice.

181
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: Well, all right, all right, I'll go over after breakfast

182
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,519
if it'll make you feel any happier.

183
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:47,759
Speaker 8: Passed the cream, Oh, have a drink night hard cider?

184
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:48,639
Made it myself.

185
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,039
Speaker 5: Thought you didn't go in for home projects, Lee, I don't.

186
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720
Making this cighter was the first honest work I've done

187
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,480
a year. I don't doubt it.

188
00:08:58,039 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 7: Let me.

189
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 8: Time I get a end of work, I look across

190
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,320
at your place and I decide against it.

191
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,399
Speaker 5: How many rooms have you added to that house since

192
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,120
you've got it built?

193
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,519
Speaker 7: Eight?

194
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:06,919
Speaker 11: Good?

195
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 7: Lord?

196
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 5: The eight rooms? No, no, no, it's not hard.

197
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: Once you get the next got fun, you just buy

198
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,320
a how to kid sure, I know, just follow direction.

199
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 8: Anybody can build a robot on a kitchen table.

200
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: Well, no thanks, Why do you say that, I mean

201
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:27,480
about building a robot? Oh? I don't know. I suppose

202
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,440
I expect you to start building one anytime.

203
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 11: Now.

204
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 5: You've done everything else. What's got in the people? These

205
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:36,799
days and nights? They just ironed equipped to enjoy the leisure?

206
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:38,960
That is most of them on me?

207
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,279
Speaker 8: I am I ree, I lie in a hammock and

208
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,879
now and again I even think.

209
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: As I guess that makes me an eccentric. Have another drink.

210
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no thanks, I'll have to get

211
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,639
back to my place.

212
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: Albert, Albert, you call me, sir?

213
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, Albert, listen to me.

214
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: I Albert, I have reached a decision about you.

215
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 12: But I'm not Albert, sir. I huh. You would hardly

216
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:12,200
expect Albert to be clipping hedges.

217
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: If you're not, You're not Albert?

218
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 11: Who are you?

219
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:18,399
Speaker 12: Abe? Albert is down in the basement.

220
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,399
Speaker 5: Oh what are you doing here? Where did you come from?

221
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 12: If you wish to talk to me, you will have

222
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,480
to move along the hedge with me. I cannot stop working.

223
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,799
Speaker 5: Oh okay, okay, move along? But wait, wait, wait, where

224
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,960
did you come from? Albert made me, Albert made you,

225
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,279
and now he's.

226
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,759
Speaker 12: Down in the basement working on Alfred.

227
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 5: Alfred another robot.

228
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 12: Certainly that is what Albert is for. He makes robots.

229
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: Oh no, Albert, Oh there you are, Albert. What's going

230
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,000
on here?

231
00:10:55,279 --> 00:11:00,919
Speaker 10: I'm reproducing what I have a built in mother. I

232
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,360
don't know why they named me Albert. I should have

233
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:04,320
had a female name.

234
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 5: But you shouldn't be able to make Roberts.

235
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 10: Look, boss, you worry a lot. You want robots, don't you.

236
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I guess everybody could use a robot I make.

237
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,519
I'm making all you need, Albert, Albert, put down that

238
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:20,639
head and listen to me.

239
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 5: I want to have a serious talk.

240
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,399
Speaker 10: Sure, boss, what's on your mind now?

241
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:26,759
Speaker 5: Albert?

242
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,879
Speaker 2: I just looked through your packing case and I found

243
00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:33,120
this tag. Look it says X one hundred and ninety

244
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,759
X Albert. Don't you understand that means you're an experimental model.

245
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,639
Speaker 10: That's correct.

246
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,039
Speaker 5: You were never meant to be sold.

247
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 10: That is also correct. I know.

248
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: Don't you see? That means trouble. I can't keep you.

249
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 10: I've already taken care of that. What do you mean

250
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,120
I filed off my serial number and replated the surface.

251
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,399
Speaker 7: Why why did you do that so.

252
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,919
Speaker 10: That they can't come around and take me back. They

253
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:57,600
made me, and then they got scared and shut me off.

254
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,960
But you're not afraid of me, assembled me and let

255
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,559
me go to work. I'm sticking with you, Boss.

256
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:05,279
Speaker 5: Wait a minute that this could mean a lot of

257
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,639
trouble for me, Albert.

258
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,519
Speaker 10: No trouble. They can't prove a thing. I'll swear that

259
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,279
you made me. I'll not let them take me back.

260
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,279
They will take no chances.

261
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:15,759
Speaker 12: Next time.

262
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 10: They'll break me up for scrap.

263
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 5: But but look, if you make too many robots.

264
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 10: Robots are useful. You need a lot of them in

265
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,080
this place. Now, don't worry, Boss, everything will work out well.

266
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960
I'll take good care of you. Now I must go

267
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,799
back to work. Albert is nearly finished.

268
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,799
Speaker 5: Mister Knight.

269
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 11: I'm from the County Tax Office tax assessor.

270
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know you Fellas came around more than

271
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,799
once a year.

272
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,879
Speaker 5: Ordinarily we don't. This is a special case.

273
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 11: Oh made a lot of improvement in the place the

274
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,559
past few days, landscaping, painting, building. Well, afraid I'll have

275
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,279
to boost your assessments. Somen I say, heard about those

276
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,679
robots of you robots personal property, you know, have to

277
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,679
pay attacks on them. Just how many of you got?

278
00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:09,639
Speaker 5: Oh one or two? I've been counting.

279
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:12,159
Speaker 11: They move around so fast, I can't be sure, but

280
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,519
I estimate the number.

281
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 5: At thirty eight. That right, If you say so.

282
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:19,399
Speaker 11: Thirty eight it is, then they cost ten thousand apiece.

283
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,799
I'll assess them at five. That's let's see, that's one

284
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:24,080
hundred and ninety thousand dollars.

285
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: Oh no, hey, that's pretty steep.

286
00:13:26,159 --> 00:13:28,399
Speaker 11: But I'm going easy on you. By rights, I should

287
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:31,320
only allow you a third for depreciation. Well that's it,

288
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,919
mister night. One hundred and ninety thousand dollars. Wait, we'll

289
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,720
send you the bill with your quarterly statement.

290
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: But good day, good day.

291
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,399
Speaker 12: Ah.

292
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,519
Speaker 2: But look, I've been holding off until we got the

293
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,200
new landscaping job under control.

294
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 5: But I can't hold off any longer. Any longer.

295
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,039
Speaker 2: I mean, we got to start selling some of the robots. Selling, Yeah,

296
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,240
twenty of them. That should do for a start. The

297
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:58,240
tax assessor was here, I need the cash.

298
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 10: You can't sell the robots.

299
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,399
Speaker 5: Why can I?

300
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:04,919
Speaker 10: Because they're my family, my boys named.

301
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: After me, all of albert I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous.

302
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 10: They're all live balls. You wouldn't sell your own children,

303
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:16,960
would you. All their names start with A, just like mine, Abe, Adelbert, Alfred, Adam,

304
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:18,960
Aaron Anton acts all right, all right.

305
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: All right, don't go through the whole roll call. I mean,

306
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,480
the point is I need the money.

307
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,879
Speaker 10: Don't you worry, boss, I'll fix everything. You have nothing

308
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:27,679
to worry about.

309
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,679
Speaker 8: The point is, mister Knight, the Internal Revenue Department is

310
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:42,159
always interested when a citizen shows a substantial capital gain

311
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:43,679
during the year capital gain.

312
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,559
Speaker 5: I haven't made any capital come.

313
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:45,879
Speaker 7: Come, sir.

314
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 8: I'm talking about the matter of some fifty two robots.

315
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,919
As I understand it, their retail value is ten thousand

316
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,399
dollars each, so they say fifty two times ten thousand

317
00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:58,879
is five hundred and twenty thousand dollars. On capital gains,

318
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:02,320
you pay fifty percent or two hundred and sixty thousand dollars,

319
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:06,919
a tax roughly of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

320
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,639
Speaker 5: When what do I do?

321
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:11,919
Speaker 8: By the fifteenth of next month, you must file a

322
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,000
declaration of estimated income. You paid half of the due

323
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:18,600
tax at that time and the balance in monthly installments.

324
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:22,480
And there's one other matter. On another matter we investigated,

325
00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:27,039
we found you make ten thousand dollars a year. Would

326
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,080
you tell me out of personal curiosity? Understand I understand

327
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:33,559
just how a man of your particular means could show

328
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:36,159
a capital gain of a half a million.

329
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,639
Speaker 7: Dollars in so short a time.

330
00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: I'm beginning to wonder myself.

331
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 7: Well, our only concern is you pay your tax.

332
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:49,519
Speaker 8: However, some other branch of the federal government might very

333
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:53,679
well want to ask some questions. Sometimes I were you,

334
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,480
mister Knight, I would be ready with some answers. Yeah,

335
00:15:57,879 --> 00:15:58,679
good day, Good.

336
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:09,039
Speaker 5: Day, Alvid. Now look did I tell you this is

337
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,639
this is a crisis. Do you understand it? Like it

338
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:10,919
or not.

339
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: I have got to sell some of your boys, a

340
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,080
whole bunch.

341
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:14,519
Speaker 10: Of them, Boss.

342
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 5: I told you not to worry, not to worry.

343
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: Listen, I just came from the income tax people. I

344
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:22,240
owe the government a cool one hundred and thirty grand

345
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,399
and those boys.

346
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 5: Don't fool around.

347
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 7: I'm desperate.

348
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:26,879
Speaker 10: Money is no trouble, boss.

349
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: Come here, Come where over here?

350
00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:31,039
Speaker 10: Look at this?

351
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 5: What's this? What those are? Those those bails? What have

352
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:35,000
they gotten?

353
00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:40,759
Speaker 10: Don't tell me full of money? Boss, help yourself.

354
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean that the actual real money in those bales.

355
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:46,559
Not stage money now, real.

356
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,399
Speaker 10: Money, Boss, No ones, of course, but lots of tens

357
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:51,960
and twenties. Yeah, that bail over there is full of fifties.

358
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: We didn't fool around with ones, Albert, mean the eye

359
00:16:56,919 --> 00:16:57,799
did you?

360
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: Did you make that money?

361
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:02,159
Speaker 10: You said you needed it. We took some bills and

362
00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,359
analyzed the ink. I found out how to weave the

363
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,440
paper and made plates. I hate the sounding modest, boss,

364
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,319
but they're beautiful.

365
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:11,559
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. I'm a counterfeitter too.

366
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 10: We just ran off as much as we thought you need.

367
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:16,400
If it's not enough, we'll make some.

368
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: It's enough, not not another dollar, Albert, listen to me

369
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,799
that they're there are laws in this country. I mean,

370
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,960
you just can't go out and print money. That's a crime,

371
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,400
don't you understand. Now, Look you take it all outside

372
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,119
and burn it right up. You understand, and don't print anymore.

373
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,519
Speaker 1: That is an order.

374
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,799
Speaker 5: I'm busy.

375
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 9: I hate to disturb you there, but I thought you

376
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:34,759
ought to know about the sheriff.

377
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 5: I don't want to know the sheriff.

378
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 9: He was here with a subpoena whatever you call them.

379
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 7: What you call it seems the how to company's got

380
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:41,839
to sue us.

381
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 5: Oh no, oh, all right, that does it? That does

382
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,319
Where are you going to see my lawyer?

383
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 8: He off hand man, I'd say you were in quite

384
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:01,880
a jam.

385
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: I didn't have to walk all the way over here

386
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,400
to find that out.

387
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 5: The point is, Lee, what in the name of heaven

388
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:06,880
can I do?

389
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:10,799
Speaker 8: Well, First, you'll have to file a declaration of estimated income.

390
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,319
Even if I can't pay, especially if you can't pay technically,

391
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,119
then you haven't violated the law. And all they can

392
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,359
do is to try to collect what you owe. They'll

393
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,920
probably slap an attachment on your bank account.

394
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,559
Speaker 5: What bank account? I'm broke?

395
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 8: Oh well, then i'd say you're made to worry? Is

396
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,920
the how to company suit? If I were you, i'd

397
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,519
set it out a court. Out of court, they might

398
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:37,559
call off the action if you returned.

399
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: All the robots, Albert says, he'll testify that I made him.

400
00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 8: Albert can't testify as a robot. He has no standing

401
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,640
in court. Oh, you better give them back and get

402
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,440
what terms you can't.

403
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, I won't do it.

404
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: I won't.

405
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 5: Don't you See.

406
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,799
Speaker 2: They don't want Albert back because they can use him.

407
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:55,839
They want to break him up to maintain their robot prices.

408
00:18:55,839 --> 00:18:57,960
Don't you see it might be a thousand years before

409
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,880
his principle is rediscovered.

410
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 5: If it ever is, would that be bad? I don't know.

411
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,119
Only time will tell that.

412
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: But I mean you could say the same thing about

413
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680
any great invention. Look, no, I will not let them

414
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,680
destroy Albert. Yes, I see your point, Night, and I

415
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,039
like it. You like it, I'll take the case.

416
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 5: Of course. I ought to warn you I'm not a

417
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,039
very good lawyer. I know I don't work hard enough

418
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:23,000
at it. But I do have a chance.

419
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:24,039
Speaker 2: Huh.

420
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:26,839
Speaker 8: In all my practice at law Night, I never saw

421
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,319
a man who'd gotten himself as fouled up as this.

422
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,759
Speaker 5: I'd say, your chances are nil. Yeah it's Albert.

423
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,599
Speaker 10: Boss. I heard about the suit.

424
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah it's all right, Albert. Mister Lee here is going

425
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,119
to handle our case.

426
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,319
Speaker 10: We robots want to help.

427
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: I'm afraid there's not much you can do.

428
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 10: Oh, yes there is. I'm building a lawyer robot.

429
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: He's building a lawyer robot with.

430
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,519
Speaker 10: Far greater memory capacity than any human, and with brain

431
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,480
computers that operate on logic. That's what law is based on,

432
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,160
isn't it logic?

433
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 8: I've heard, but it won't work, Albert the practice law,

434
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:06,680
you must be admitted to the bar. To be admitted

435
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,519
to the bar, you must have a degree in law

436
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,039
and pass an examination. And although it has never been

437
00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:15,319
an occasion to establish a precedent, I suspect the applicant

438
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,279
must be human.

439
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,559
Speaker 5: Lee Lee, Wait a minute, what about law clerks? I

440
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:21,279
mean they don't have to be human. I'd say that

441
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,119
was completely true.

442
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, then Albert's robots can be clerks.

443
00:20:25,799 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 5: Well, could be you know what I mean.

444
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,039
Speaker 8: Yes, it's never been done, but there's nothing in the

445
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:31,279
law that says it can't be done.

446
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,519
Speaker 10: Then it's settled. I'll make a dozen to start. Each

447
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,480
one will be an expert in one phase of the law. Boss,

448
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,440
You're going to have the most powerful battery of legal

449
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,839
talent ever assembled under one roof.

450
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,799
Speaker 13: Right in the court, Mister Lee, what is the meaning

451
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:56,079
of this outrage?

452
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: What outrage? Your honor? Those robots sitting at the defense table, These,

453
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:06,039
your honor, are my valued assistants. Robots. Yes, your honor,

454
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,079
take them away. They have no standing in this.

455
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 8: Court, If your honor will excuse me, they need no standing.

456
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:15,519
I am the sole representative of the defendants, My client

457
00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:17,799
as a poor man, and he is opposed by the

458
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:20,960
most formidable array of legal talent money can buy. Now,

459
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,960
surely the court will not deny him whatever assistance he's

460
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,680
been able to muster.

461
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 5: This, Sir, is highly irregular.

462
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 4: If it please your honor.

463
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:30,799
Speaker 8: I should like to point out that we live in

464
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,160
a mechanized age. The court clerk uses a machine to

465
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,200
take down the transcript of these very proceedings. To my

466
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,480
certain knowledge, no court has ever challenged the presence of.

467
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 5: Such a device as an ad to the furtherance of justice.

468
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 8: If your honor can point out anything in the law

469
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,759
specifically barring these robots from the court.

470
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:49,599
Speaker 7: That's ridiculous, Sir.

471
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,559
Speaker 13: Of course, there is no such provision. At no time

472
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,079
anywhere did anyone dream such a contingency would arise in that.

473
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: Case, Sir, I asked the court for a favorable ruling.

474
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:02,319
Speaker 13: Mister, as you point out, there is no precedent for

475
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,640
my ruling in any way but in your favor. Therefore, Sir,

476
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,160
with reluctance, I do so.

477
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:17,559
Speaker 7: At this time, and what kind of a day has

478
00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:17,920
it been.

479
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 14: It's a day in which a new kind of trial

480
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,960
has suddenly captured the imagination of the public.

481
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,759
Speaker 7: A trial in which a man accused of.

482
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 14: Misappropriating a robot has brought into court a whole battery

483
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,559
of robots to aid in his defense.

484
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,079
Speaker 8: To give validity to their argument you're on earth, it

485
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,640
must first be proved that these robots are in fact

486
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,039
the property of the plaintiff. That is the issue at

487
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:43,039
trial in this case.

488
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,039
Speaker 14: So, in the now famous robot case, the issue has

489
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,759
come down to this, was the robot stolen or was

490
00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:52,680
he liberated?

491
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 7: It is a far reaching question.

492
00:22:54,519 --> 00:23:03,319
Speaker 8: Indeed, I have already established that robots are possessed of

493
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,319
free will, that they have the power of reasoning, and

494
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,599
that they can most certainly reproduce. As to my worthy

495
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:16,039
opponent's fourth contention that they have no spiritual sense, I

496
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,440
contend that this is irrelevant.

497
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 4: There are agnostics and atheists in the.

498
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 8: Human race, and in general no one has denied them

499
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,880
their full rights.

500
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: On this count.

501
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 7: And so the trial has at last come to its end.

502
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 14: The whole nation, indeed the whole world, awaits the momentous

503
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,759
decision which must be handed down.

504
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 7: In Washington, d C.

505
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,799
Speaker 14: Treasury officials have been meeting steadily for a week to

506
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,079
find some way to avoid the loss of the enormous

507
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,799
taxes on robots in the event the decision rendered is

508
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:49,599
in favor of the defense. One high government official has

509
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,200
said that if robots are declared free and equal, it

510
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:56,000
means they must be given full citizen rights under the constitution. Already,

511
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,480
the chairman of both major political parties are mapping campaigns

512
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:08,599
to another robot Bote.

513
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:14,759
Speaker 9: Welcome home, Darling.

514
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thank you for what's going on here, Grace.

515
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,759
I have more trouble getting into my own home than

516
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:19,799
into the Pentagon.

517
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 10: Oh you mean the robots.

518
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,799
Speaker 9: They've set up a defense perimeter.

519
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: I a defense Albert, Hello, Boss, welcome home, Albert. What

520
00:24:29,519 --> 00:24:31,480
is the meaning of all of bob Weire and the

521
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:32,480
rocket launchers?

522
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 10: Just precautions, Boss. We're ready for any situation such as, oh,

523
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:40,680
like a mob deciding to take justice into its own hands,

524
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,319
for instance, or if the decision goes against us, that too, Boss.

525
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:46,599
Speaker 9: Did you two go on and talk? I really got

526
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:48,240
to get back to my painting. I have a beautiful

527
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,640
still life light simply.

528
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,039
Speaker 2: Got yeah, yeah, I finished, Albert. Listen, you can't fight

529
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,799
the whole world.

530
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,799
Speaker 10: We won't go back how two kits incorporated. We'll never

531
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,799
lay a hand on me or any of my children.

532
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 5: That this is madness. Don't you understand they'd get you

533
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,680
with one bomb and me too.

534
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 10: Better to die fighting, Boss than to live in chains.

535
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,200
That's our motel. No matter what happens, we are ready

536
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,920
for the decision.

537
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,839
Speaker 4: The court is ready to render its decision.

538
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 13: It is the most difficult decision I have ever made,

539
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,359
for in following the letter of the law, I fear

540
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,160
I may be subverting its spirit. After long days of

541
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,640
earnest consideration about the law and the evidence as presented

542
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:45,519
in this court, I find for the defendant, Gordon Knight, I.

543
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 4: Cannot rule otherwise. May I add that this ruling.

544
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 13: In spite of the fact that I myself made it,

545
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,559
outrages my social conscience.

546
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 10: You did it, Boss, you did it.

547
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: We're free, Yes, Albert, we should did it. Where's my

548
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:12,400
wife in the studio painting? Not another landscape?

549
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 10: Her fifth this week. She's doing very well, yes, isn't she?

550
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:18,480
And I am working on a new robot for her

551
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,799
a painter. Soon she won't have to bother doing it herself.

552
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: That's nice.

553
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 10: And you won't have to do anything anymore either, Boss,

554
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,279
not a thing. Oh, we're gonna take care of you

555
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,759
from here on out.

556
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 5: Thanks.

557
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,839
Speaker 10: Did I tell you about my new children yet?

558
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 12: No?

559
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:34,519
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

560
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 10: Alice, Angeline, Agnes, Agatha, Alberta and Abigail daughter six on

561
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,680
the Boss, and all with a built in reproducing instinct

562
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,200
just like mine. Oh no, they're down in the basement

563
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,160
now turning out robots. Great, we've got everything worked out

564
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,440
for your boss. You won't have to worry about a

565
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,519
thing for the rest of your life.

566
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 15: No, Albert, not a thing.

567
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:12,640
