"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. "
"This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. "
"I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen."
"Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"
"Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye."
"Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over."
"I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you."
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."
