Sir, I have dissected this bill. There are no loopholes. We can't put a machine on the streets.
Sellars
Forget machines. You saw the polls. Americans don't want a machine. They want a product with a conscience. They want something that knows what it feels like to be human. We're gonna put a man inside a machine.

Alex, we need to work together here, because I'm the only one with the technology to keep you alive.
RoboCop
Dead or alive, you're coming with me.
[forced to crouch down]
Sellars
All right. Weapon. Alex, honestly, I mean you no harm. If I wanted to, I could have killed you a long time ago. I just aim this right at your head and blow it off.
[to security guard]
Clara Murphy
Sellars, please! Don't!
Sellars
I mean, if I wanted to, I could just aim this at your little family and I could just kill them too. And really, there's nothing you could do about it because, let's face it, you're a robot. Do you understand that? Alex.
[as Alex struggles to aim his weapon because of the security protocols; points weapon at Clara and David; sees Alex preparing to fire at him]

Assessment of Security Patterns in Afghanistan

That's supposed to be his Royal Guard?
Maya
That's pre-9/11 behavior.
Jessica
We don't have any reason to believe he's changed security tactics.
[irritated]
Maya
We invaded Afghanistan. That's a reason.

Lost Voice and Life's Direction
Laura Madden
I feel like it dictated a certain direction my life took. That I just felt that it was this huge error in judgement that sort of marked me, and all my decisions. And I felt such shame that I let him do that. It was like he took my voice that day. Just when I was about to start finding it.

A Moment of Concern and Reassurance
Lionel Logue
Myrtle!
King George VI
It's all right.
Lionel Logue
Bertie, over here.

Are you all right, Logue?

I'm told that your husband calls my husband "Bertie," and my husband calls your husband "Lionel." I trust you won't call me "Liz?

The Advantage of Enhanced Technology in RoboCop
Liz Kline
Dr. Norton, how... how is he doing this?
Dr. Dennett Norton
His software is faster. His hardware is stronger. He's a better machine.
Kline
But you said humans hesitate.
Norton
Only when they're making decisions.
Kline
He's not making decisions?
Norton
Well, yes and no. In his everyday life, man rules over the machine; Alex makes his own decisions. Now, when he engages in battle, the visor comes down and the software takes over, then the... the machine does everything. Alex is a... he's a passenger, just along for the ride.
Kline
But if the machine is in control, then how is Murphy accountable? Who's pulling the trigger?
Norton
When the machine fights, the system releases signals into Alex's brain making him think he's doing what our computers are actually doing. I mean, Alex believes right now he is in control, but he's not. It... it's the illusion of free will.
