Speaker 1 (00:01):
All the time that I was alone, I thought, I
thought I would do if only I did. And then
I saw the Rubbit.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Two thousand plus science fiction Adventures in the World of
Tomorrow the years beyond the two thousand Lady two thousand
plus presents a Robert Killer. So you are, mister Samuel Donaldson. Yes, sir,
(00:39):
Happy Sam, they called me.
Speaker 1 (00:41):

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's a living Professors, Drager. Now, may I see the
mechanical man I'm giving away as the Jackpot prize on
my show next week. It is not a mechanical man,
mister Donaldson. The correct word is Rubert Robot. I know
I'm no Rod, but it is a supreme achievement of
electronic division, worked on us for six years to do
whatever it is instructor to do. I simply do not
(01:08):
understand how the management of this corporation can think of
giving it away to this public, this magnificent mechanism. Oh look, Professor,
this corporation sponsors my TV show. We're on one two
hundred and forty six stations. We're telecast in three dimensional color,
and the Happy Sam Show is the number two favorite
in the country. The sponsor thinks it would be a
(01:28):
good advertising gimmick to offer a super jackpot prize, a
mechanical man, a robot, and I never argue with a sponsor. Now, please,
may I see what I've come to see? Oh, young man,
I have no choice.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Come a look, there is an experimental over twenty three.

Rare there he's really something. Professor six feet tall, shiny metal,
flexible fingers say, how does he work?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Very simply?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
His electronic controls respond to ultra high frequency ways which
emanate from this microphone box.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Speak into the microphone, or Robert.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Will do whatever you order, into anything virtually. Robert twenty
three has an electronic brain. Drive yourself in, okay, saying
sweet ada line. Really, mister Donaldson, what a ridiculous request.
Do you think the best scientific brains in the country
work for six years?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Or rubb.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
The heavens with.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
My it?

Oh, I'll see who it is?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hello John?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Oh, hello Virginia.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Who Why it's uh uh it's Virginia.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Nay, I just had to come and tell you how
wonderful it is your being back and all those wonderful parties.
It was very nice of you to come in Virginia
and thank you for the supper you've prepared for my homecoming.
Now we've delighted to Darling when John asks the son
asks you two, well, yes, he was so happy you
were coming back. But y'all know thet Mary's being home
(11:08):
cost for a celebration. Can't we have a drink?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I don't know, Virginia, Marriy's supposed to get rest, say, oh,
why I supposed one sip?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
One hurt?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But I could go out and get something though. I
I'll bet that.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Jennaling, when you get your prizes, I'll have cause.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
To be jealous of him.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Cigarette.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No thanks jealous? Why well, you'll have two men, John
and the rovers. Poor little me, a bachelor gual all alone.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And you know I really think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You ought to give me one of the hoops one
would you like to Darling with a silly question the
mechanical man, of course he doesn't drop ashes all the
rods here and wash the dishes and put out the cat.
You'll never I never ride in to me, I knew
the serious. What did you expect me to be? I
(11:58):
don't understand that I do. In the hospital, I began
to understand a lot of things. I know the doctors
thought something happened to my mind.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
But all that.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Happened was that it became very clear, very sharp.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And for the first time I began to think clear, Darling,
I I think there's excitement's been too much for you.
I shouldn't have come in because I was here? Is
that why you shouldn't have come in? You're wrong, Marry.
Everything you're thinking is wrong. John would come to the
hospital only once a.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Day, but he would work.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Some days he wouldn't come at all. And you know
he has to go out of town on business one.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
You all, I know many things.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I would lie in my hospital bed and the shadows
would whisper to me it was Dad, it is John.
Now while you lie in an anti septic bed in
the hospital room that is as cold as a surgeon's nice, catting.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Your memories to tea.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
You fright me.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
St' go John will be back in a moment. I
I have a headache.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I got to go.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
What well John said? And you are not here. You
you were a darling.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
You pull a sick mom.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know, a stalk out. I'll leave virgin, lead me alone.
But I'm not alone as I was in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I'm home.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I'm my home, and I'll marry you. Name enus to
kill you, if if only I could think of all
to do it?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
And I wrote, what quite a guy, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He looks something like the tin woodman of our But
I used to read about how i'd write.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You know, but they can do any of the things
they said on that program. Oh my guess is there
to sell him for Junker?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Give him away to some kids. Now let's see the
direction said turn.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
On the racket switch for power and then just talking
to the microphone. Use simple phrases and precise instructions. Well,
what's I tell him to do?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
He's your boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Tell him tell you to move the green chair about
two feet back in the corner.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, more, green chair back two feet into corner.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So he's walking.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's the dardest thing I ever saw. Well he did it,
and he's gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Does he have a name?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
A name?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
I hope he's chilling.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
He must have a name.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
He's almost like a person.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Ask you what does he talk to?
Speaker 6 (14:48):
What is your name? Your name?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Do you have a name. Let's see he can't talk to.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Ask him a question, tell him to tell you do
it the.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Direction to tell me your name?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Ay?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And then uh road about one the the road about
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it gives me the creeps. Oh, it's wonder well
what I do? You can't stand there staring at us.
There's nothing for him to do around here.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The poker, that steal poker in the fireplace, and what
about it? He looks dongue. Tell him, tell him to
bend it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Bend it, Mary, that's solid steel. He's just a tim
toilet with electronic or please John, tell him what's honey.
He'll probably get a short circuit or something straining himself.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Then we will up to junk him.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Oh alright, alright, bend poker there, bend steal poker. I see,
just pick it up, but nothing's happening.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Banded band it? You see I took good lord?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Will you then being a steal as if it were happy?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
And did you see that?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Why?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's almost as it way as if he threw it down.
Disdaining of showing off.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Why didn't you tell him off?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
He's dangerous, Mary, dangerous and frightening. I'm gonna dismain now. No, wait,
don't get so excited about it.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
You know what the doctor said.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Don't take manderling John le.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Alright, alright, alright, alright, you insist. Remember Mary, you're not
to give him any orders except when I'm home.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Darling. I wouldn't do anything that wouldn't be right for me.
Two o'clock, almost four hours until John comes home.

It's about Mary?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Mary?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Why something happened?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
I rang your doorbell a few minutes ago. One of
Mary's packages had been delivered to me by mistake.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
She came to the door.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yes, she acted very strangely, particularly when I asked about
the mechanical man, the robin.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well, what do you mean, Virginia, strangely?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh, she wouldn't let me come in and look at him.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
She said he he didn't love me.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
Why she was in a strange well, a strange mental state.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Johnn Are you sure she's all right?
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Virginia? Listen, the robot wasn't moving or or doing anything?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Not that I could notice? But Mary's attitude and her
aunt remards I knew I shouldn't have accepted that ten monster. Well,
I'll get home as soon as I can.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Virginia, thanks for calling, you know, but doctor rodn't glad.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
This is John Hanold.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh, yes, miss a neighbor just called me. Mary's acting strangely.
I'm worried.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I don't understand, Stanald.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We won some prizes on a TV show a few
days ago, and one of them was a mechanical man,
a robot. Oh, yes, you told me about him, Robert,
my opinion is a dangerous gadget. Well, anyway, one of
the neighbors reported that Mary is talking strangely about it.
I wonder if you could meet me at the apartment.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
You know it'll take me about happening hour to get there.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
Mister Hanold, I hope you'll forgive me, but you've got
to expect that neighbors, with all the good will in
the world, tend to exaggerate the exactions of the people
whom they've not have been mentally ill. I'm sure there's
nothing to be alarmed about.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yes, the doctor.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
This neighbor is a good friend and an intelligent woman.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
I've had a lot of experience in these matters. Mister Yeah,
I have a to ease your mind. I'll try to
drop over sometime this evening on in the morning, but
I have a talk about it. I'm in the meeting now.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, all right, doctor, if you say so, thanks very much.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Hello, or Virginia.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It is a John, Yes, John, I.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Just spoke to the doctor. He thinks there's nothing to
worry about.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
But well, I wonder if you do.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Me a great favorite, of course, John, what is it.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I've got a few things here to clean up at
the desk, so I can't get home right away. I
wonder if you go in and stay with Mary until
I get there.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
But John, I frankly on the little fright.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's silly, Virginia.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
After all, what can happen?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The door again?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
The door we throw the twenty three, and I'll come
back to you say, I will wait for you a
way a way. Well, thank you, thank you, darling. No,
I wonder if I could visit with you for a while.
Why Why do you want to visit with me? Why, Darnie,
(23:29):
I'm your neighbor, and I thought it would be very
nice if we had teas. Don't you want me to
come in?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Mary?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yes, yes, I do want you to come in. Just
come in and meet wrote me twenty three. Really he
knew since I saw him that he was standing by
the fireplace when I was at the door to door,
and always by the sofa. Don't let love me bath,
(23:57):
I care you and Johnny broken.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Broken in union.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I had him do it he did it, he did it?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You and George lives and Georgia seat Mary? What are
you doing?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Why are you picking up that microphone?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Rubber twenty three loves me as I love John, and
you won't destroy my love.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You won't roll But twenty three don't You don't care?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Mary?
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Marry no, no, wh can you please please stop crying?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
What happens? What happens? Mary?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Excuse me, mister lord, but I think I can tell
you what happened At a trigger one of the men
who built that robot I gave your apartment, hopingly persuade
you to return the robot with a dreadful commotion inside,
called it Patoma in the corner, and we forced away again.
The robot was more controlled this young lady here.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I tried to get away.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Whenever I read it, I shut off the control dogs
and stopped the robt. May you wanted to kill me?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
John? Kill me? Doctor?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I've given her sent to mister Hanld.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I'll take her back to the hospital in a few hours.
All of this excitement, however, I'm sure she'll be all
right in another month. Ago would she try to kill me?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
She try to kill me for some.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Reason, she was showless of you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But now that we know, I'd say, shouldn't we coudn't
treat it psygathrically?
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I shall be all right, doctor.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
She won't try to kill again. And I think what
might have happened to Virginia.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Mister Hanlld.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Nothing would have happened.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You see, your wife told the robot to kill, but
that was an instruction the robot could carry out. What
do you mean, profect, you said yourself. The robot was
going toward Virginia as of course, because your wife said
go to her. A simple physical action the robot is
capable of performing due to its directional mechanism. However, the
command killed is not sufficiently explicit. The robot cannot kill
(26:20):
in general, must have step by step instructions as to
how the command is to be carried out. You see,
mister hamild I might put it this way. To strike
out blindly, to kill without thinking requires an emotional drive,
the capacity to hate, and that the robot cannot do.
(26:43):
It is, after all, a machine, not a human being,
All the time that I was alone, I thought, I
thought I would do if only I did. And then
I saw the Rubbit.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Two thousand plus science fiction Adventures in the World of
Tomorrow the years beyond the two thousand Lady two thousand
plus presents a Robert Killer. So you are, mister Samuel Donaldson. Yes, sir,
(00:39):
Happy Sam, they called me.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I know I have friends who think your television program
is very funny.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's a living Professors, Drager. Now, may I see the
mechanical man I'm giving away as the Jackpot prize on
my show next week. It is not a mechanical man,
mister Donaldson. The correct word is Rubert Robot. I know
I'm no Rod, but it is a supreme achievement of
electronic division, worked on us for six years to do
whatever it is instructor to do. I simply do not
(01:08):
understand how the management of this corporation can think of
giving it away to this public, this magnificent mechanism. Oh look, Professor,
this corporation sponsors my TV show. We're on one two
hundred and forty six stations. We're telecast in three dimensional color,
and the Happy Sam Show is the number two favorite
in the country. The sponsor thinks it would be a
(01:28):
good advertising gimmick to offer a super jackpot prize, a
mechanical man, a robot, and I never argue with a sponsor. Now, please,
may I see what I've come to see? Oh, young man,
I have no choice.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Come a look, there is an experimental over twenty three.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Rare there he's really something. Professor six feet tall, shiny metal,
flexible fingers say, how does he work?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Very simply?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
His electronic controls respond to ultra high frequency ways which
emanate from this microphone box.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Speak into the microphone, or Robert.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Will do whatever you order, into anything virtually. Robert twenty
three has an electronic brain. Drive yourself in, okay, saying
sweet ada line. Really, mister Donaldson, what a ridiculous request.
Do you think the best scientific brains in the country
work for six years?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Or rubb.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
The heavens with.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
My it?
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Really tried to sing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Hey, he's very clever, professorre Hey, he wants this pick
up that boom in the corner and sweep the floor.
Oh boy, the housewives who watch my program will love this.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
What I'll be done?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Look at there he's doting it he's doning it. Okay, okay,
stop sweeping.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
What a gadget? What a giveaway?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Now I see something for the kiddies, and I, hey, hey,
what is that?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Kitten is the pet of doctor Brederick of the Physics Laboratory.
And I assure you you cannot give that away.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I don't wanna give the kitten away.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I just want a little heart throb on the show.
Speaker 3 (03:35):

Speaker 3 (03:50):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, roll but twenty three go over to the kitten,
pick it up and pat the kiddy. Nice kiddy, look
at that?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Isn't that sweet?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh boy?
Speaker 2 (04:10):

Uh it?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
And oh poor Tabby.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Why he he?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
He killed the kitten brook its neck.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
He tried to pet it and he killed it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
As you see what comes when when fools play with science.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
No good will come of giving this throw but away

Oh, I'll see who it is?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hello John?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Oh, hello Virginia.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Who Why it's uh uh it's Virginia.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Nay, I just had to come and tell you how
wonderful it is your being back and all those wonderful parties.
It was very nice of you to come in Virginia
and thank you for the supper you've prepared for my homecoming.
Now we've delighted to Darling when John asks the son
asks you two, well, yes, he was so happy you
were coming back. But y'all know thet Mary's being home
(11:08):
cost for a celebration. Can't we have a drink?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I don't know, Virginia, Marriy's supposed to get rest, say, oh,
why I supposed one sip?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
One hurt?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But I could go out and get something though. I
I'll bet that.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Jennaling, when you get your prizes, I'll have cause.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
To be jealous of him.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Cigarette.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No thanks jealous? Why well, you'll have two men, John
and the rovers. Poor little me, a bachelor gual all alone.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And you know I really think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You ought to give me one of the hoops one
would you like to Darling with a silly question the
mechanical man, of course he doesn't drop ashes all the
rods here and wash the dishes and put out the cat.
You'll never I never ride in to me, I knew
the serious. What did you expect me to be? I
(11:58):
don't understand that I do. In the hospital, I began
to understand a lot of things. I know the doctors
thought something happened to my mind.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
But all that.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Happened was that it became very clear, very sharp.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And for the first time I began to think clear, Darling,
I I think there's excitement's been too much for you.
I shouldn't have come in because I was here? Is
that why you shouldn't have come in? You're wrong, Marry.
Everything you're thinking is wrong. John would come to the
hospital only once a.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Day, but he would work.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Some days he wouldn't come at all. And you know
he has to go out of town on business one.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
You all, I know many things.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I would lie in my hospital bed and the shadows
would whisper to me it was Dad, it is John.
Now while you lie in an anti septic bed in
the hospital room that is as cold as a surgeon's nice, catting.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Your memories to tea.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
You fright me.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
St' go John will be back in a moment. I
I have a headache.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I got to go.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
What well John said? And you are not here. You
you were a darling.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
You pull a sick mom.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know, a stalk out. I'll leave virgin, lead me alone.
But I'm not alone as I was in the hospital.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I'm home.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I'm my home, and I'll marry you. Name enus to
kill you, if if only I could think of all
to do it?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
And I wrote, what quite a guy, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
He looks something like the tin woodman of our But
I used to read about how i'd write.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You know, but they can do any of the things
they said on that program. Oh my guess is there
to sell him for Junker?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Give him away to some kids. Now let's see the
direction said turn.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
On the racket switch for power and then just talking
to the microphone. Use simple phrases and precise instructions. Well,
what's I tell him to do?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
He's your boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Tell him tell you to move the green chair about
two feet back in the corner.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Okay, more, green chair back two feet into corner.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So he's walking.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's the dardest thing I ever saw. Well he did it,
and he's gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Does he have a name?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
A name?
Speaker 6 (14:42):
I hope he's chilling.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
He must have a name.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
He's almost like a person.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Ask you what does he talk to?
Speaker 6 (14:48):
What is your name? Your name?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Do you have a name. Let's see he can't talk to.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Ask him a question, tell him to tell you do
it the.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Direction to tell me your name?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Ay?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And then uh road about one the the road about
twenty three.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it gives me the creeps. Oh, it's wonder well
what I do? You can't stand there staring at us.
There's nothing for him to do around here.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The poker, that steal poker in the fireplace, and what
about it? He looks dongue. Tell him, tell him to
bend it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Bend it, Mary, that's solid steel. He's just a tim
toilet with electronic or please John, tell him what's honey.
He'll probably get a short circuit or something straining himself.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Then we will up to junk him.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Oh alright, alright, bend poker there, bend steal poker. I see,
just pick it up, but nothing's happening.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Banded band it? You see I took good lord?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Will you then being a steal as if it were happy?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
And did you see that?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Why?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's almost as it way as if he threw it down.
Disdaining of showing off.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Why didn't you tell him off?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
He's dangerous, Mary, dangerous and frightening. I'm gonna dismain now. No, wait,
don't get so excited about it.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
You know what the doctor said.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Don't take manderling John le.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Alright, alright, alright, alright, you insist. Remember Mary, you're not
to give him any orders except when I'm home.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Darling. I wouldn't do anything that wouldn't be right for me.
Two o'clock, almost four hours until John comes home.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
Lock the door.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And now to make him come to life again.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
M speak to me, Say.

Say I will kill her.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I will.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Her. Hello, John, this is Virginia. Oh Virginia, it is
(20:15):
a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Why are you calling me?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's about Mary?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Mary?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Why something happened?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (20:21):
I rang your doorbell a few minutes ago. One of
Mary's packages had been delivered to me by mistake.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
She came to the door.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yes, she acted very strangely, particularly when I asked about
the mechanical man, the robin.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well, what do you mean, Virginia, strangely?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh, she wouldn't let me come in and look at him.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
She said he he didn't love me.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
Why she was in a strange well, a strange mental state.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Johnn Are you sure she's all right?
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Virginia? Listen, the robot wasn't moving or or doing anything?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Not that I could notice? But Mary's attitude and her
aunt remards I knew I shouldn't have accepted that ten monster. Well,
I'll get home as soon as I can.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Virginia, thanks for calling, you know, but doctor rodn't glad.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
This is John Hanold.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh, yes, miss a neighbor just called me. Mary's acting strangely.
I'm worried.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
I don't understand, Stanald.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We won some prizes on a TV show a few
days ago, and one of them was a mechanical man,
a robot. Oh, yes, you told me about him, Robert,
my opinion is a dangerous gadget. Well, anyway, one of
the neighbors reported that Mary is talking strangely about it.
I wonder if you could meet me at the apartment.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
You know it'll take me about happening hour to get there.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
Mister Hanold, I hope you'll forgive me, but you've got
to expect that neighbors, with all the good will in
the world, tend to exaggerate the exactions of the people
whom they've not have been mentally ill. I'm sure there's
nothing to be alarmed about.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yes, the doctor.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
This neighbor is a good friend and an intelligent woman.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
I've had a lot of experience in these matters. Mister Yeah,
I have a to ease your mind. I'll try to
drop over sometime this evening on in the morning, but
I have a talk about it. I'm in the meeting now.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, all right, doctor, if you say so, thanks very much.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Hello, or Virginia.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It is a John, Yes, John, I.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Just spoke to the doctor. He thinks there's nothing to
worry about.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
But well, I wonder if you do.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Me a great favorite, of course, John, what is it.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I've got a few things here to clean up at
the desk, so I can't get home right away. I
wonder if you go in and stay with Mary until
I get there.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
But John, I frankly on the little fright.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's silly, Virginia.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
After all, what can happen?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The door again?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
The door we throw the twenty three, and I'll come
back to you say, I will wait for you a
way a way. Well, thank you, thank you, darling. No,
I wonder if I could visit with you for a while.
Why Why do you want to visit with me? Why, Darnie,
(23:29):
I'm your neighbor, and I thought it would be very
nice if we had teas. Don't you want me to
come in?
Speaker 2 (23:36):

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yes, yes, I do want you to come in. Just

Speaker 8 (24:31):
Marry no, no, wh can you please please stop crying?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
What happens? What happens? Mary?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Excuse me, mister lord, but I think I can tell
you what happened At a trigger one of the men
who built that robot I gave your apartment, hopingly persuade
you to return the robot with a dreadful commotion inside,
called it Patoma in the corner, and we forced away again.
The robot was more controlled this young lady here.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I tried to get away.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Whenever I read it, I shut off the control dogs
and stopped the robt. May you wanted to kill me?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
John? Kill me? Doctor?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
I've given her sent to mister Hanld.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I'll take her back to the hospital in a few hours.
All of this excitement, however, I'm sure she'll be all
right in another month. Ago would she try to kill me?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
She try to kill me for some.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Reason, she was showless of you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But now that we know, I'd say, shouldn't we coudn't
treat it psygathrically?
Speaker 7 (25:48):
I shall be all right, doctor.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
She won't try to kill again. And I think what
might have happened to Virginia.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Mister Hanlld.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Nothing would have happened.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You see, your wife told the robot to kill, but
that was an instruction the robot could carry out. What
do you mean, profect, you said yourself. The robot was
going toward Virginia as of course, because your wife said
go to her. A simple physical action the robot is
capable of performing due to its directional mechanism. However, the
command killed is not sufficiently explicit. The robot cannot kill
(26:20):
in general, must have step by step instructions as to
how the command is to be carried out. You see,
mister hamild I might put it this way. To strike
out blindly, to kill without thinking requires an emotional drive,
the capacity to hate, and that the robot cannot do.
(26:43):
It is, after all, a machine, not a human being,
