[Professor Hobby gives a speech about the artificial being of the modern age] Professor Hobby: To create an artificial being has been the dream of man... since the birth of science. Not merely the beginning of the modern age... when our for-bearers astonished the world with the first thinking machines - Primitive monsters that could play chess. Professor Hobby: [the group laughs] How far have we come. The artificial being is a reality... of perfect simulacrum... articulated in limb... articulate in speech... and not lacking in human response.

...in the chain mail of society. To create an artificial being has been the dream of man... ...since the birth of science. Not merely the beginning of the modern age, when our forebears... ...astonished the world with the first thinking machines... ...primitive monsters that could play chess. [ALL CHUCKLE] How far we have come! The artificial being is a reality, a perfect simulacrum... ...articulated in limb, articulate in speech... ...and not lacking in human response. [SHEILA SCREAMS] And even pain-memory response. [ALL LAUGH] How did that make you feel? Angry? Shocked? -I don't understand. -What did I do to your feelings? You did it to my hand. Aye... ...there's the rub. Undress. At Cybertronics of New Jersey, the artificial being has reached its highest form. The universally adapted Mecha... ...the basis for hundreds of models serving the human race... ...in all the multiplicity of daily life. That's far enough. But we have no reason to congratulate ourselves.
