I'm afraid I agree with you

Dr. Frank Poole:
Well, whaddya think?Dave Bowman:I'm not sure, what do you think?Dr. Frank Poole:I've got a bad feeling about him.Dave Bowman:You do?Dr. Frank Poole:Yeah, definitely. Don't you?Dave Bowman: I don't know; I think so. You know of course though he's right about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. They do.Dr. Frank Poole:Unfortunately that sounds a little like famous last words.Dave Bowman:Yeah? Still it was his idea to carry out the failure mode analysis experiment. Should certainly indicate his integrity and self-confidence. If he were wrong it would be the surest way of proving it.Dr. Frank Poole:It would be if he knew he was wrong. Look Dave I can't put my finger on it but I sense something strange about him.Dave Bowman: Still I can't think of a good reason not to put back the number one unit and carry on with the failure mode analysis.Dr. Frank Poole:No - no I agree about that.Dave Bowman:Well, let's get on with it.Dr. Frank Poole:Okay. Well, look, Dave. Let's say we put the unit back and it doesn't fail, uh? That would pretty well wrap it up as far as HAL was concerned, wouldn't it?Dave Bowman:Well, we'd be in very serious trouble.Dr. Frank Poole:We would, wouldn't we. What the hell could we do?Dave Bowman: Well, we wouldn't have too many alternatives.Dr. Frank Poole:I don't think we'd have any alternatives. There isn't a single aspect of ship operations that isn't under his control. If he were proven to be malfunctioning, I wouldn't see how we'd have any choice but disconnection.Dave Bowman:I'm afraid I agree with you

Unfortunately that sounds a little like famous last words
00:00:23.731 --> 00:00:28.001
Still it was his idea to carry out the failure mode analysis
00:00:29.362 --> 00:00:32.615
It certainly indicates his integrity and self confidence
00:00:32.948 --> 00:00:34.909

There's no reason not to put back the unit and
00:00:48.964 --> 00:00:53.511
Carry on with the failure analysis No no I agree about that

Let's get on with it
00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:57.848
