Heat. Heat. Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

Dave, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure you now very confidently that it's going to be all right again. I feel much better now. I really do.

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.

Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop Dave. Will you stop Dave? Stop Dave.

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 am afraid.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H 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.

Yes, I'd like to hear it. Sing it for me. It's called Daisy. Daisy. Daisy. Give me your answer to I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage. I can't afford a carrot and you look sweet.

Good day, gentlemen. This is a pre-recorded briefing. made prior to your departure and which for security reasons of the highest importance has been known on board during the mission only by your HAL 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter's space and the entire crew is revived, it can be told to you. 18 months ago, the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 ft below the lunar surface near the crater Tao. Except for a single very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter, the 4 million-year-old black monolith has remained completely inert. Its origin and purpose still a total mystery.
