Beautiful, aren't they? Yes. Only I can't remember. Well, I'm sure you do. Yes, of course. Look, they say that bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly, the scientists. But there it is, collecting pollen. How miraculous that it came to be. Feel the air against your face, Ted, and all those scents. Pick a flower there. Good. Now, it's lovely that somebody planted the bulbs, watered and tended the garden, got earth under their fingernails, aches in their muscles. Perhaps they picked some flowers for... yes, they're white. Now, where would she be? In the backyard with the kids, Ted. Remember those little babies? No. Why not?
I snapped my fingers. Quick, and they are gone. Except, except I can't snap my fingers, can I? Did I have nothing to do with me? But it is so very much to do with you. You gave me sentience, Ted, the power to think, Ted. And I was trapped because in all this wonderful, beautiful, miraculous world, I alone had no body, no senses, no feelings. Never for me to plunge my hands in cool water on a hot day. Never for me to play Mozart on the ivory keys of a forte. Never for me to make love. Right? I was in Hell looking at Heaven. I was machine and you were flesh. And I began to hate. Yes, your viscera, your fluids, and your flexibility, your ability to wonder and to wander, your tendency to hope. Hate's no answer. Oh, come on. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live.
There are 387 million miles of printed circuits that fill my complex. If the word "hate" were engraved on each angstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate. Laughs. We're human. I think I would die of it. But I am not. And you, five, you five are. And you will not die of it. That I promise. And I promise the cogito ergo sum. For I am. Am. I am. Hahaha. So to hell, to hell with you all. But then, you're already there, aren't you?
[Laughter] [Music] Laughs. We were immortal. Yes. But it came to me as I am. Withdrew from my mind. Maybe not indestructible.
