Bicentennial Man (1999)



'Sir' Richard Martin- Andrew, I've made a decision.

Andrew Martin- Yes, sir?

'Sir' Richard Martin- You will cut back on your workload. You can no longer...
devote yourself entirely to children and housework.

Andrew Martin- But one likes the children, sir, specifically the smaller one, Little Miss.

'Sir' Richard Martin- That is a contradiction, Andrew, and that is exactly the sort of thing you need to learn about.

(other androids) Thank you for choosing North Am Robotics.

'Sir' Richard Martin- So we need a new regimen.

Andrew Martin- Regimen, sir?

'Sir' Richard Martin- First offal, you'll spend part of each day making something.
So as not to offend humans, we'd better find something that's not overly artistic.
Could you make other things? I could teach you my line of work-
you know, timepieces and clocks and so on.

Andrew Martin- One could not tell you, sir. One has never attempted such things.

'Sir' Richard Martin- Well, you will now.
Also, you'll spend part of each evening in instruction with me.

Andrew Martin- And what is the purpose of this instruction?

'Sir' Richard Martin- To teach you, Andrew-
to teach you all the things that haven't been programmed into you.
Andrew, you're unique.

Andrew Martin- Unique? -

(other androids) Thank you for choosing North Am Robotics.

'Sir' Richard Martin- And I feel a responsibility to help you...
become whatever you're able to be.

Andrew Martin- And what is one able to be?

'Sir' Richard Martin- Well, I don't know.
See, people grow through time. But then, of course, for you, time is a completely different proposition.
For you, time is endless.
Andrew Martin- Endless?

Andrew Martin- There's only one thing to do.
