Gigolo Joe: Miss Bevins, It's Joe. At your service. I've been counting the seconds since last we met.
Gigolo Joe: [Joe lays in bed beside Samantha, feeling her face for what he thinks is a tear] Have you been crying, Samantha? I found a tear.
[Joe holds up his finger as he notices it's not a

tear but blood]

[Joe tries to convince a group of teenagers to give him and David a lift to Rogue City]
Gigolo Joe: There are girls your age who are just like me. We are the guiltless pleasures of the lonely human being. You're not gonna get us pregnant or have us to supper with Mommy and Daddy. We work under you, we work on you and we work for you. Man made us better at what we do than

was ever humanly possible.
Gigolo Joe: [Joe turns on a digital image of an attractive lover robot dancing] If you could manage us a lift to Rouge City, all this... and much, much more... can be yours.
Teen in Van: [the teen quickly nods] Get in.

[the Flesh Fair audience chants the name of Lord Johnson-Johnson as he personally walks out David to be the next victim in front of the live audience]
Lord Johnson-Johnson: Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls and children of all ages. What will they think of next? See here. A bitty-bot, ticker toy, a living doll. Of course, we all know why they made them. To steal your

hearts, to replace your children. This is the latest generation in a series of insults to human dignity... and in their grand scheme to phase out all of God's little children. Meet the next generation of child designed... to do just that.
Lord Johnson-Johnson: [the Flesh Fair audience watch in complete silence at David] Do not be fooled... by the artistry of this creation.

No doubt there was talent in the crafting of this simulator. Yet with the very first strike... you will see the big lie come apart before your very eyes!
David: [David see's a drop of acid miss his face as he stands tied up, beginning to beg for his life] Don't burn me! Don't burn me! I'm not Pinocchio! Don't make me die! I'm David! I'm David! I'm David!

Voice in the Crowd: [a Flesh Fair audience member screams out from the crowd] Mecha don't plead for their lives. Who is that? He looks like a boy.
Lord Johnson-Johnson: Built like a boy to disarm us. See how they try to imitate our emotions now.
David: [quietly cries out] I'm David!
Lord Johnson-Johnson:

Whatever performance this Sim puts on, remember: We are only demolishing artificially! Let he who is without Sim... cast the first stone.

Patricia in mirrored room: I'm afraid.
Gigolo Joe: Of me?
Patricia in mirrored room: Yes.
Gigolo Joe: That I will hurt you?
Patricia in mirrored room: Yes.
Gigolo Joe: I think... you're afraid of

letting go. I think you're afraid of happiness. And this is starting to excite me. Are you afraid of seeing the stars, Patricia? I can show you how to reach them.
Patricia in mirrored room: I'm afraid of what you've got under there. May I see what it looks like first?
Gigolo Joe: Is this your first time... with something like me?

Patricia in mirrored room: I've never been with Mecha.
Gigolo Joe: That makes two of us.
Patricia in mirrored room: [the two laugh together] I'm afraid it will hurt.
Gigolo Joe: Patricia, once you've had a lover robot, you'll never want a real man... again.

[Dr. Know speaks with David and Joe for the very first time]
Dr. Know: [the animated image of Dr. Know appears] Starving minds, welcome to Dr. Know, where fast food for thought is served up 24 hours a day... in 40,000 locations nationwide. Ask Dr. Know. There's nothing I don't.
David: [David stands up impatiently] Tell me where I can find the Blue

Fairy.
Dr. Know: [a buzzer sound buzzes] Question me you pay the fee, two for five you get one free!
Gigolo Joe: He means two questions cost five Newbucks with a third question on the house. In this day and age, David, nothing costs more than information.
David: That's everything!
Gigolo Joe: Ten

Newbucks and a ten copper comes to 7 questions for Dr. Know.
David: That should be enough!
Gigolo Joe: He's a smooth operator. He'll test our limits, but try we must.
Dr. Know: [Dr. Know lights up with many icons promoting different topics and categories] Greetings colleagues. On author, factual text or fictionalized text, 1st

or 3rd person, usual literacy range frofm primal level to the post doctural, usual span of styles from fairy tale to religious, who's who, or where's where, or flat-fact.
David: Flat-fact?
Dr. Know: Thank you for question number one. 'Flat-fact' is a term demanding an equal answer with interpretive speculation... merely not the... and what you are

saying is basically that is what you...
David: That shouldn't count, that wasn't my question!
Gigolo Joe: You must take care not to raise your voice up at the end of a sentence. 'Flat-fact'.
Dr. Know: You have 6 more questions!
David: Where is Blue Fair-REE?
Dr. Know: In the

Garden.
[Dr. Know holds up a bouquet of blue flowers]
Dr. Know: Vascostylis blue fairy. Blooms twice annually with bright blue flowers on a branched inflorescence. A hybrid between Ascola Meda Arnold. You have 5 more questions.
David: Who is Blue Fair-REE?
Dr. Know: Are you sad, lonely, looking for a friend? 'Blue Fairy

Escort Service' will find a mate for you! You have 4 more questions.
David: Joe. Try fairy tale.
Gigolo Joe: [nods, turns back to Dr. Know] New category. A fairy's tail.
David: No! Fairy tale!
Gigolo Joe: No. Fairy tale.
David: What is Blue Fairy?
Dr.

Know: Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi. "At the signal, there was a rustling as flapping of wings, and a large falcon flew to the windowsill. What are your orders, beautiful fairy, he asked..."
David: [mesmerized by holographic Blue Fairy] That's her.
Dr. Know: "... For you must know that the child with blue hair was no other than the good

hearted fairy who had lived in that wood for more than a thousand years..."
[David jumps up onto the apparatus attempting to catch the Blue Fairy]
David: David! David!
David: That's her!
Gigolo Joe: It was an example of her. But I think we're getting closer.
David: But if a fairy tale is real,

wouldn't it be a fact? A flat fact?
Dr. Know: "... then the dream ended, and Pinocchio awoke, full of amazement..."
Gigolo Joe: [to David] Say no more.
[to Dr. Know]
Gigolo Joe: New category, please.
[as the icons come back up, Joe touches both categories to combine them]
Gigolo Joe:

Combine Fact with Fairy Tale.
[to David]
Gigolo Joe: Now. Ask him again.
David: How can the Blue Fairy make a robot into a real, live boy?
[the Dr. Know hologram appears to short circuit and disappear. In his place is a scrolling paragraph of blue text]
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 then you can understand. Your quest will be perilous. Yet the reward 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 one place only. At the end of the world. Where the lions weep. Here is the place dreams are born.

David: [David aggressively tells Joe] My mommy doesn't hate me... because I'm special and unique. Because there's never been anyone like me before, ever. Mommy loves Martin because he is real, and when I am real... Mommy's going to read to me and tuck me in my bed and sing to

me... and listen to what I say and she will cuddle with me... and tell me every day, a hundred times a day, that she loves me!

[Professor Hobby asks Mecha, Secretary Sheila, what is love]
Professor Hobby: Tell me. What is love?
Secretary: Love is first widening my eyes a little bit... and quickening my breathing a little... and warming my skin and touching my...
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.

[David asks the Blue Fairy Mecha about Monica]
David: Where am I? This looks like my house, but it is different.
Blue Mecha: Yes, it is different, but it's also your home. We read your mind, and it's all here. There's nothing too small that you didn't store for us to remember. We so want you to be happy. You are so important to us, David. You are

unique in all the world.
David: Will Mommy be coming home soon? Is she out shopping with Martin?
Blue Mecha: David, she can never come home... because 2,000 years have passed, and she is no longer living. Dearest David, when you are lonely, we can bring back other people from your time in the past.
David: [David shouts out] If

you can bring back other people, why can't you bring back her?
Blue Mecha: Because we can only bring back people... whose bodies we dig up from the ice. We need some physical sample of the person, like a bone or a fingernail.
