Lesson 6 I, Robot
At the Chicago police station
Spooner (in a sarcastic voice) Murder’s a new trick for a robot. Congratulations. Respond.
Sonny What does this action signify? (Winks.)
As you entered the room, when you looked at the other human.
What does it mean? (Winks again.)
Spooner It’s a sign of trust. It’s a human thing. You wouldn’t understand.
Sonny My father tried to teach me human emotions. They are ... difficult.
Spooner You mean your designer.
Sonny Yes.
Spooner So, why did you murder him?
Sonny I did not murder Doctor Lanning.
Spooner Want to explain why you were hiding at the crime scene?
Sonny I was frightened.
Spooner Robots don’t feel fear.
They don’t feel anything.
They don’t get hungry, they don’t sleep.
Sonny I do. I have even had dreams.
Spooner Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams. But not you.
You are just a machine. An imitation of life.
Can a robot write a symphony?
Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?
Sonny Can you?
Spooner (grunts awkwardly) I think you murdered him because he was teaching you to simulate emotions, and things got out of control.
Sonny I did not murder him.
Spooner Yeah, but emotions don’t seem like a very useful simulation for a robot.
Sonny (getting angry) I did not murder him.
Spooner I don’t want my toaster or my vacuum cleaner appearing emotional.
Sonny (hitting table with its fists) I DID NOT MURDER HIM!
(Looks down to see the damage to the table.)
Spooner That one’s called anger.
Ever simulate anger before? (Sonny doesn’t respond.)
Answer me, canner!
Sonny My name is Sonny.
Sonny is released.
Technically, a robot cannot commit murder since murder is defined as one human killing another.
While continuing his investigation of Dr. Lanning’s death, Spooner is attacked by USR robots.
Later, Dr. Calvin stops by his apartment and learns that Spooner has had artificial organs implanted in him.
