Quotes

James Ellison : Human beings aren't like chess pieces. It matters if we live or die.
John Henry : Why does it matter? All humans die eventually.
James Ellison : Yes, that's true. But our lives are... are sacred. Do you know what 'sacred' means?
John Henry : Holy. Worthy of respect. Venerable.
James Ellison : Do you know why human life is sacred?
John Henry : Because so few humans are alive compared to the number that are dead?
James Ellison : No. Because we're God's creation. God made everything - the stars, the earth, everything on this planet. We are all God's children.
John Henry : Am I God's child?
James Ellison : That's one of the things we're here to talk about.

Catherine Weaver : Many believe, tactile experience is integral to AI development. This body is merely a puppet - an interface. We control him. *You* control him.
[She gives him a remote control, which Ellison uses on John Henry to switch him off]
James Ellison : And when John Henry completes his development? When he realizes what his puppet is capable of? Do you know how powerful he'll be?
Catherine Weaver : Cows are more powerful than men, Mr. Ellison. But I'd still rather be the farmer with the rifle.
