[Professor Hobby asks Mecha, Secretary Sheila, what is love]

Tell me. What is love?

Professor Hobby:
And so on. Exactly so. Thank you, Sheila.
Professor Hobby:
[the group claps]
But I wasn't referring to sensuality stimulators. The word that I used was 'love.' Love like the love of a child for it's parents. I propose that we build a robot child who can love. A child robot who will genuinely love... the parent, or parents it imprints on... with a love that will never end.
Supernerd:
A child-substitute Mecha?
Professor Hobby:
But a Mecha with a mind, with neuronal feedback. You see, what I'm suggesting is that love will be the key... by which they acquire a kind of subconscious never before achieved. An inner world of metaphor, intuition, a self-motivated reasoning, of dreams.

Love is first widening my eyes
a little bit...
...and quickening my breathing a little
and warming my skin and--
And so on, exactly so. Thank you, Sheila.
But I wasn't referring
to sensuality simulators.
The word that I used was "love."
Love like the love of a child
for its parents.
I propose that we build
a robot-child who can love.
A robot-child who will genuinely love
the parent or parents it imprints on...
...with a love that will never end.
A child-substitute Mecha?
But a Mecha with a mind,
with neuronal feedback.
You see, what I'm suggesting is
that love will be the key...
...by which they acquire a kind of
subconscious never before achieved.
An inner world of metaphor,
of intuition...
...of self-motivated reasoning,
of dreams.
A robot that dreams?
How exactly do we pull this off?
[ALL LAUGH]
It occurs to me...
...with all this animus existing
against Mechas today...
...it isn't simply a question
of creating a robot who can love.
But isn't the real conundrum,
can you get a human to love them back?
Ours will be a perfect child
caught in a freeze-frame...
...always loving,
never ill, never changing.
With all the childless couples
yearning in vain for a license...
...our little Mecha will not only open up
a completely new market...
...it will fill a great human need.
But you haven't answered my question.
If a robot could genuinely love a person...
...what responsibility does that person
hold toward that Mecha in return?
-It's a moral question, isn't it?
-The oldest one of all.
But in the beginning, didn't God
create Adam to love him?

Summary: David, a robotic boy—the first of his kind programmed to love—is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee and his wife. Though he gradually becomes their child, a series of unexpected circumstances make this life impossible for David. Without final acceptance by humans or machines, David embarks on a journey to discover where he truly belongs, uncovering a world in which the line between robot and machine is both vast and profoundly thin.
