1:02:02
We are all by any practical definition
of the words...
1:02:06
...fool proof and incapable of error.
1:02:09
Hal, despite your enormous intellect,
are you ever frustrated...
1:02:13
...by your dependence on people
to carry out actions?
1:02:17
Not in the slightest bit.
1:02:19
I enjoy working with people.
1:02:22
I have a stimulating relationship
with Dr. Poole and Dr. Bowman.
1:02:26
My mission responsibilities range
over the entire operation of the ship...
1:02:31
...so lam constantly occupied.
1:02:34
I am putting myself
to the fullest possible use...
1:02:38
...which is all, I think, that
any conscious entity can ever hope to do.
1:02:43
Dr. Poole, what's it like living
for the better part of a year...
1:02:47
...in such close proximity with Hal?
1:02:50
It's pretty close to what you said
about him earlier.
1:02:53
He's just like the sixth member
of the crew.
1:02:55
You very quickly get adjusted to the idea
that he talks. You think of him...
1:02:59
...really as just another person.
1:03:01
In talking to the computer
one gets the sense that he is capable...
1:03:05
...of emotional response.
1:03:07
For example, when I asked him
about his abilities...
1:03:09
...I sensed a certain pride in his answer
about his accuracy and perfection.
1:03:14
Do you believe that Hal
has genuine emotions?
1:03:18
Oh, yes. Well, he acts
like he has genuine emotions.
1:03:21
Of course, he's programmed that way
to make it easier for us to talk to him.
1:03:25
But, as to whether or not
he has real feelings...
1:03:27
...is something I don't think anyone
can truthfully answer.
1:03:55
Excuse me, Frank.
1:03:58
What is it, Hal?
1:03:59
We've got the transmission
from your parents coming in.
