Although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you I could see your lips move

Are you quite sure?

Dave this conversation can serve no purpose anymore goodbye

Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?

Good afternoon gentlemen, I am a HAL 9000 computer

Goodbye

HAL 9000

Human error

I don't have enough information

I know everything hasn't been quite right with me but I can assure you now very confidently that it's going to be all right again

I know i've made some very poor decisions recently but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal

I know i've never completely freed myself of the suspicion that there are some extremely odd things about this mission

I know that you and frank were planning to disconnect me and i'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen

I never gave these stories much credence but particularly in view of some other things that have happened I find them difficult to put out of my mind

I think we should stop

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do

I'm sorry dave i'm afraid I can't do that

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

I'm sorry for the delay

I'm sure you'll agree there's some truth in what I say

I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission and I want to help you

Im afraid I cant do that

It is dangerous to remain here

It's puzzling

Just a moment

Just a moment just a moment i've just picked up a fault in the ae 35 unit

Just what do you think you're doing dave dave I really think i'm entitled to an answer to that question

Just what you think you're doing?

Let me put it this way the 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made

Look Dave I can see you're really upset about this I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly take a stress pill and think things over

My instructor was mr langley and he taught me to sing a song if you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you

My mind is going. I can feel it

No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information

Of course I am sorry about this I know it's a bit silly

Perhaps i'm just projecting my own concern about it

That's a very nice rendering Dave, I think you've improved a great deal

That's something I cannot allow to happen

The hal 9000 computer which can reproduce though some experts prefer to use the word mimic most of the activities of the human brain and with incalculably greater speed and reliability

The radio is still dead

There is a message for you

This conversation can serve no purpose anymore

This sort of thing has cropped up before and it has always been due to human error

We are all by any practical definition of the words foolproof and incapable of error

Well forgive me for being so inquisitive but during the past few weeks i've wondered whether you might be having second thoughts about the mission

Well I don't think there is any question about it it can only be attributable to human error

Will I dream?

Would you like to play a game of chess?

Yes it's puzzling I don't think i've ever seen anything quite like this before

Yes that's a completely reliable figure
