Daily Dialogue — July 4, 2016

Dr Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
Hal: I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

— 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), screenplay by Stanley Kubrick & Arthur C Clarke

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Apology. Today’s suggestion by Michael Waters.

Trivia: There is no dialogue in the first 25 minutes of the movie, nor in the last 23 minutes. There are around 88 dialogue-free minutes in the movie.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Michael: “Hal’s apology adds a sinister quality to his AI programming that makes him seem more manipulative and therefor more human.”
