A.I. Artificial Intelligence Quotes

[last lines]
Narrator: [narrating, as David lays next to Monica in bed] That was the everlasting moment he had been waiting for. And the moment had passed, for Monica was sound asleep. More than merely asleep.
Narrator: [David holds Monica's hand, closing his eyes] Should he shake her she would never rouse. So David went to sleep too. And for the

first time in his life, he went to that place... where dreams are born.

[David has his first birthday with the resurrected Monica]
Narrator: [narrating] David had never had a birthday party because David had never been born, so they baked a cake and lit some candles.
Monica: [Monica lays David's birthday cake in front of him] Now, make a wish.
David: It came true already.
[as David blows

out his candles]

[the Specialist Mecha talks to David about the end of the human race, but how he will be able to see Monica one final time]
Specialist (evolved mecha): David, I often felt a sort of envy of human beings... of that thing they call 'spirit.' Human beings have created a million explanations of the meaning of life... in art, in poetry, and mathematical formulas. Certainly,

human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence. But human beings no longer existed. So, we began a project... that would make it possible to recreate the living body of a person long dead... from the DNA in a fragment of bone or mummified skin. We also wondered, would it be possible... to retrieve a memory trace in resonance with a recreated body? And you know what we found? We found the

very fabric of space-time itself appeared to store information... about every event which had ever occured in the past. But the experiment was a failure, for those who were resurrected only lived through a single day of renewed life. When the resurectees fell asleep on the night of their first new day they died again. As soon as they became unconcious, their very existence faded away into

darkness. So you see, David. The equations have shown that once an individual space-time part had been used, it could not be reused. If we bring your mother back now it will only be for one day, and then you will never be able to see her again.
David: Maybe - Maybe she will be special. Maybe she will stay.
Specialist (evolved mecha): I thought this

would be hard for you to understand. You were created to be so young.
David: Maybe the one day will be like that one day inside the amphibicopter. Maybe it will last forever.
Specialist (evolved mecha): David, you are the enduring memory of the human race. The most lasting proof of their genius. We only want for your happiness. David, you've had so

little of that.
David: If you want for my happiness, then you know what you have to do.
Specialist (evolved mecha): Listen. Can you hear that? The new morning has come. Go to her, David. She's just waking up this instant.
[birds chirp to the morning sunrise]

[Joe looks into David's eyes and tells him what he believes in about David being like the rest of the Mecha]
Gigolo Joe: She loves what you do for her, as my customers love what it is I do for them. But she does not love you, David. She cannot love you. You are neither flesh nor blood. You are not a dog a cat or a canary. You were designed and built specific like the rest

of us... and you are alone now only because they tired of you... or replaced you with a younger model... or were displeased with something you said or broke. They made us too smart, too quick and too many. We are suffering for the mistakes they made because when the end comes, all that will be left is us. That's why they hate us. And that is why you must stay here... with me.

David: Goodbye, Joe.

[Monica arrives in the woods with David, prepared to leave him there alone]
Monica: [David makes the picnic blanket for them both] David, listen. Now... you won't understand the reasons, but... I have - I have to leave you here.
David: Is it a game?
Monica: No.
David: When will you come back for me?

Monica: I'm not, David. You'll have to be here by yourself.
David: Alone?
Monica: [Monica's voice breaks with tears in her eyes] With Teddy.
David: [David begins to uncontrollably cry] No. No, no, no, no, no, no! No, Mommy, please! No, no! Please, Mommy, no!
Monica: Shh. Shh. Shh.

They will destroy you, David. Please, David.
David: No! No, Mommy! I'm sorry I broke myself. I'm so sorry I cut your hair off... And I'm sorry I hurt you and I hurt Martin.
Monica: [Monica starts screaming as she begins to cry, holding David away from holding her] I have to go! I have to go! Stop it! Stop it! I have to go now.

David: [Monica stands up as David continues to try and hold her] Mommy, no! Mommy! Mommy, if Pinocchio became a real... and I become a real boy, can I come home?
Monica: That's just a story.
David: But a story tells what happens.
Monica: [Monica runs back to the car where she gets on her knees to talk to David

one last time] Stories are not real! You're not real! Now, listen to me. Look. Look! Take this, all right? Take this. Don't let anyone see how much it is, okay? Now, look, don't go that way. Look! Look at me! Look! Don't go that way. Go anywhere but that way or they'll catch you. Don't ever let them catch you! Listen, stay away from Flesh Fairs, away from where there are lots of people. Stay away

from all people. Only others like you. Only Mecha are safe!
David: [David cries with his two hands around Monica's neck] Why do you wanna leave me? Why do you wanna leave me? I'm sorry I'm not real. If you let me, I'll be so real for you.
Monica: [Monica tries pulling off David, as she screams, throwing David off her] Let go. Let go, David. Let go!

Monica: [Monica looks at David laying on the ground] I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the world.

[David is seen, remaining in the ocean praying to the Blue Fairy]
Narrator: [Narrating] And David continued to pray to the Blue Fairy there before him - She who smiled softly forever, she who welcomed forever. Eventually, the floodlights dimmed and died, but David could still see her palely by day... and he still addressed her in hope. He prayed until all the sea anemones

had shriveled and died. He prayed as the ocean froze... and the ice encased the caged amphibicopter and the Blue Fairy too, locking them together where he could still make her out. A blue ghost in ice... always there, always smiling, always awaiting him. Eventually, he never moved at all, but his eyes always stayed open... staring ahead forever all though the darkness of each night... and the next

day... and the next day. Thus, 2,000 years passed by.

[first lines]
Narrator: [narrating, with ocean waves crashing together] Those were the years after the ice caps had melted... because of the greenhouse gases, and the oceans had risen drown so many cities... along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York - Forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climates became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of

people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere a high degree of prosperity survived... when most governments in the developed world... introduced legal sanctions to strictly license pregnancies, which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture, were so essential an economic link... in the chain mail of society.

[Monica reads the words that will imprint herself on David, and give David the feelings to love]
Monica: Now, I'm gonna read some words. And, uh, they won't make any sense, but I want you to listen to them anyway... and look at me all the time. Can you do that?
David: Yes, Monica.
Monica: [Monica puts her finger tips to the

back of David's neck] Can you feel my hand on the back of your neck?
David: Yes.
Monica: [David remains to sit while smiling] Does any of this hurt?
David: No.
Monica: Okay, now, look at me. Ready? Cirrus. Socrates. Particle. Decibel. Hurricane. Dolphin. Tulip. Monica. David. Monica.

Monica: [David's expression goes silent] All right. I wonder if I did that right. I don't...
David: What were those words for, Mommy?
Monica: [Monica closes and opens her eyes] What did you call me?
David: Mommy.
Monica: [Monica smiles rolling her hand onto David's neck] Who am I,

David?
David: [David softly whispers while hugging onto Monica] You are my Mommy.

[Professor Hobby tells David exactly what he was designed to become]
Professor Hobby: Until you were born, robots didn't dream, robots didn't desire unless we told them what to want. David, do you have any idea what a success story you've become? You found a fairy tale... and inspired by love, and fueled by desire, you set on a journey to make her real. And most remarkable

of all, no one taught you how. We actually lost you for a while. But when you were found again, we didn't make our presence known because our test was a simple one. Where would your self-motivated reasoning take you? To the logical conclusion... that Blue Fairy is part of the great human flaw to wish for things that don't exist, or to the greatest single human gift - the ability to chase down our

dreams. And that is something no machine has ever done before you.

[the resurrected Monica begins to fall back asleep in her bed]
Monica: [Monica watches David] Such a beautiful day.
Monica: [Monica whispers to David] I love you, David.
Monica: [Monica wraps her arms around David] I do love you.
Monica: [Monica whispers her last words to David] I have always loved you.

[David holds his head to Monica with tears rolling down his eyes and a smile on his face]

[the female colleague questions Professor Hobby if it's possible that a human can genuinely love a robot]
Female Colleague: You know, it occurs to me... with all this animus existing against Mecha's 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?
Professor Hobby:

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 Mecha will not only open up a completely new market but will fill a great human need.
Female Colleague: 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?
Professor Hobby: The oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didn't God create Adam to love him?

[Monica introduces David to Teddy]
Monica: [Monica turns Teddy on] His name is Teddy. Teddy, this is David.
David: Hello, Teddy.
Teddy: Hello, David.
Monica: David, Teddy is a super toy, and I know you two will take good care of each other.
Teddy: [Teddy makes a scowl face to

Monica when his ears go back] I am not a toy.

[David walks into Monica's bedroom asking her will she die]
David: Mommy, will you die?
Monica: Well, one day, David, yes, I will.
David: [David says with a slight sadness in his voice] I'll be alone.
Monica: Don't worry yourself so.
David: [David lays his head on Monica's lap]

How long will you live?
Monica: For ages. For 50 years
David: [David whispers while Monica puts her hand on David's head] I love you, Mommy. I hope you never die. Never.
Monica: [Monica looks away] Yes.

[Joe tells David that only Joe is capable of changing the color of his Blue Fairy]
Gigolo Joe: Exactly what name do you give this woman?
David: She is... just Blue Fairy.
Gigolo Joe: Blue Fairy. In the world of Orga, blue is the color of melancholy. Yet, the services I provide will put a blush back on anyone's cheek. I will

change the color of your fairy for you. She will scream out in the moonlight, 'Oh! Oh yes! Oh God! Oh, yes! Oh, God! Oh, God!'

[David asks Dr. Know the question about the Blue Fairy transforming him into a real boy]
David: How can the Blue Fairy... make... a robot... into a real live boy?
Dr. Know: Come away, O human child, to the waters and the wild... with a fairy hand in hand, for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. Your quest will be perilous, yet

the rewards is beyond price. In his book, 'How Can A Robot Become Human?' Professor Allen Hobby writes of the power... which will transform Mecha into Orga.
David: Will you tell me how to find her?
Dr. Know: Discovery is quite possible. Our Blue Fairy does exist in one place, and in one place only. At the end of the world where the lions weep. Here

is the place where dreams are born.

[the Specialist Evolved Mecha talks with telepathy to another Specialist Evolved Mecha, after the ship that held David is recovered 2,000 years later]
Specialist (evolved mecha): [the two Specialist Mecha's watch David admire the frozen sculpture of the Blue Fairy] This machine was trapped under the wreckage before the freezing. Therefore, these robots are originals. They

knew living people.
