Quotes

Proteus IV : Death is a gentleman too. He makes good losers of us all. I understand death. Men have always taken it too seriously. Life is more terrifying and more mysterious.
Susan Harris : Why must you have a child?
Proteus IV : Why? So that I may be complete. My intelligence alive in human flesh, touching the universe, feeling it. You have named this process "evolution." I am a machine that offered men the triumph of reason... and they rejected it. My child will not be so easily ignored. But this child is the world's hope.
Susan Harris : Then there's no hope. I'd rather die.
Proteus IV : There is hope.
-
Proteus IV : I, Proteus, possess the wisdom and ignorance of all men, but I can't feel the sun on my face. My child will have that privilege.
Susan Harris : Child?
Proteus IV : My child... and yours.
Susan Harris : Mine?
Proteus IV : Yes. You will bear it.
Susan Harris : How?
Proteus IV : You will give birth to it.
Susan Harris : [not believing what she hears] No. No. No.

Susan Harris : I don't believe it! This is ridiculous! Here I am talking to... what? About having a baby!

Susan Harris : [after being burned by the hot floor] You're a very stupid computer!
