RoboCop

Human Touch in Robotic Solutions

Raymond Sellars We need to give Americans a product they can love, a figure they can rally behind.

Liz Kline 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.

RoboCop Confronts Criminals and Asserts Authority

RoboCop Clara, take David and get out of the way now! Raymond Sellars, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of a police officer.

[they step away]

Raymond Sellars Are you here to cuff me? All right. Go head, cuff me. You can't. You're not programmed that way. If you go against the program, the entire system shuts down, so.

Liz Kline You don't even have a warrant. We'll overlook this little...

RoboCop Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your back.

Tom Pope I'm just from marketing.

RoboCop Now!

Pope Ok, yep, yep, yep Yep

[lies prone together with Kline]

Sellars 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]

The Future of American Justice

Pat Novak Until today, Thomas King was a convicted felon wanted for rape, arson, and murder. This man has torn apart American families. On the loose for six years. And where was this criminal mastermind hiding? Right in front of the police headquarters. Here he is, just steps away from two of Detroit's finest. These two officers are completely unaware of the monster in their midst. And then, in 60 seconds... I repeat, just 60 seconds, Detective Murphy brings him down. This, my friends, is the future of American justice. How many like Thomas King will pay for their crimes now that RoboCop is here?

Understanding Reality in Transformation

Alex Murphy Kind of suit is this?

Dr. Dennett Norton It's not a... suit, Alex. It's... it-it's you. This was the only option. We're here, all of us, to make you whole again. Full body unlock. I want you to walk now, Alex. You can do that.

Murphy This seems so real.

Norton Alex, it's-it's very important you understand what is happening. This is real. It's not a dream, i-it's not drugs or anesthetics.

Murphy I know I'm dreaming because I can feel all of this.

Dr. Jae Kim Alex, amputees can often feel their missing appendages. It's called phantom limb sensation.

Murphy What do you mean "amputees?" What the hell did you do to me?

Norton Alex, you need to relax.

Murphy Take this off me now.

Kim Alex...

Norton You need to relax.

Murphy I need to get out of this thing.

Kim Alex, Dr. Norton saved your life, there was much needed to repair -

[over the exchange]

Murphy What did you do to me??! What have you done to me?

[activates visor. chokes Dr. Norton]

Kim Alex? Hey! Shut him down.

[sees Dr Norton slump to the floor as Alex walks off; attends to Norton; to tech crew]

Norton No. Let him run, let him run!

Machines vs. Humanity in Law Enforcement Debate

Senator Hubert Dreyfuss I don't care how sophisticated these machines are, Mr. Sellers. A machine does not know what it feels like to be human. It can't understand the value of human life. Why should it be allowed to take one? To legislate over life and death, we need people who understand right from wrong. What do your machines feel?

Raymond Sellars Well, they feel no anger. They feel no prejudice. They feel no fatigue, which makes them ideal for law enforcement. Putting these machines on the streets will save countless American lives.

Dreyfuss You're evading the question.

Sellars No, I'm not.

Dreyfuss Yes, you're evading the question. I asked what do these machines feel? If one of them killed a child, what would it feel?

Sellars Nothing.

Dreyfuss And that's the problem. That's why 72% of Americans won't stand for a robot pulling the trigger.

Urgent Decisions in a Crisis Situation

Clara Alex. You need to come home.

RoboCop Clara, please stand aside.

Clara You need to speak to your son.

RoboCop Right now, I see three crimes in progress.

Clara Alex, listen to me. I know you're in there. David won't show his face at school. He's having nightmares. He's falling apart. I am falling apart. Please. I can't do this on my own. He's been scared ever since that night.

Media Manipulation and Corporate Accountability in America

Pat Novak There's still no word from Omnicorp parent company, OCP. And although the government says they are rebuilding Alex Murphy, rumors continue to swirl about his condition. But we have obtained exclusive video taken by cell phone that shows the people of Detroit may have Alex Murphy back on the streets sooner than they think. The real tragedy here is that our president chose to uphold the Dreyfus Act. Now, I have no doubt he was manipulated by our biased media, and by whistleblower Dennett Norton.

[pulls up the latest Washington Post; shows clip of Norton's Senate testimony as if extracted from the front page]

Dr Dennett Norton I acknowledge we know less than we thought. But I do believe my research program is sound. What I did with it was wrong.

Novak The fact that this motherfucker is not serving time in some federal penitentiary is a huge, hot, heaping pile of horseshit!! Now I know some of you may think that this kind of thinking is dangerous, and these machines violate your civil liberties. Some of you even believe that the use of these drones overseas makes us the same kind of bullying imperialists that our forefathers were trying to escape. To you, I say... STOP WHINING! America is now and always will be the greatest country on the face of the Earth! I'm Pat Novak. Good night.

[pause; walks back to center stage]

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.
