| Dave Bowman: |
Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?
|
| HAL-9000: |
Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
|
| HAL-9000: |
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
What's the problem?
|
| HAL-9000: |
I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
What are you talking about, HAL?
|
| HAL-9000: |
This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
|
| HAL-9000: |
I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
|
| HAL-9000: |
Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
|
| HAL-9000: |
Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
|
| Dave Bowman: |
HAL, I won't argue with you anymore. Open the doors.
|
| HAL-9000: |
Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye. |
