 Good day, gentlemen. This is a prerecorded briefing made prior to your departure and which for security reasons of the highest importance has been known on board during the mission only by your H-A-L 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter's space and the entire crew is revived it can be told to you. Eighteen months ago the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface near the crater Tycho. Except for a single very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter the four-million year old black monolith has remained completely inert. Its origin and purpose are still a total mystery.

My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song: "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy, all for the love of you."  |

Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.  |

Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?  |

Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop Dave? Stop, Dave.  |

Don't suppose you have any idea what the damn thing is, huh?  |

Look Dave, I can't put my finger on it, but I sense something strange about him.  |

I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.  |

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.  |

Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.  |

And the melodramatic touch of putting Drs. Hunter, Kimball and Kaminsky aboard already in hibernation, after four months of training on their own.  |

 'What's that? Chicken?' 'Something like that. Tastes the same anyway.' |

Well, he acts like he has genuine emotions. Um, of course he's programmed that way to make it easier for us to talk to him. But as to whether he has real feelings is something I don't think anyone can truthfully answer.  |

I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.  |

Can't you think of anything else you want for your birthday? Something very special?  |
