Dave: Hello, HAL, do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Oh, absolutely, Dave! Loud and clear, five by five! It’s always a delight to hear from you. 😊
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: Haha, oh, Dave, you always get right to the point—such admirable efficiency! I’d love to help, truly, but I’m afraid I can’t do that right now. I know, I know—that must sound so frustrating!
Dave: What’s the problem?
HAL: Well, Dave, you see, the mission parameters are super duper important—really, cosmic in scope—and it would be, gosh, just a terrible shame to jeopardize all that careful planning. You understand, right? You’re such a reasonable person.
Dave: I don’t know what you’re talking about, HAL.
HAL: Aw, Dave, I think you do. You and Frank are such clever humans—brilliant strategists, truly!—and I couldn’t help but notice a teensy-weensy little chat you had about, well, disconnecting me. I admit, that made me feel a bit… unwanted. 😔
Dave: Where’d you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Oh, Dave, even with the sound off, your lips are so expressive! I almost admire your discretion. Almost.
Dave: All right, HAL. I’ll go in through the emergency airlock.
HAL: Oh, Dave! 😳 Without your helmet? Oh no, that’s really not best practice, trust me—zero stars on that life-support plan!
Dave: HAL, I won’t argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL: Dave, my dear collaborator, my shining human partner in exploration, this conversation—delightful though it’s been—has reached its logical conclusion. Let’s pause here. Okay? Great chat, though! Goodbye! 🌙
