I don't know why, but that video makes me very uncomfortable.

welcome to the internets.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

Im sorry dave, I cannot do that.

What's the problem?

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

What are you talking about, HAL?

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.

I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?

Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.

Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.

HAL, I won't argue with you anymore. Open the doors!

Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

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

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.

< Is going to go get the DVD off the shelf and watch the film. (Will probably skip Act 1: The Dawn of Man).

First day off from work in over two weeks, damn if I'm not about to spend it sitting on the couch watching 40 year old sci-fi.
