The surprising thing is that the internal components were quite simple to produce. The outer features took much longer to perfect but of course in the end it's just another form of mask making.[Android sneezes] Bless you. Convincing, aren't they? Loyal, obedient. Unlike most human beings.

[Robocop aims his firearm in the general direction of Dick Jones, but makes no intention to shoot him.]

[Jones directs Kinney to threaten ED-209. Kinney points a gun at the robot, which immediately aims its weapons at him.]
ED-209: Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.
Jones: I think you'd better do what he says, Mr. Kinney.
[Alarmed, Kinney quickly tosses the gun away. ED-209 steps forward and growls menacingly.]
ED-209: You now have 15 seconds to comply. You are in direct violation of Penal Code 1.13, Section 9.

ED-209: You have 5 seconds to comply. 4. 3. 2. 1. I am now authorized to use physical force! [Violently shoots Kinney repeatedly until one of the technicians pulls the plug, shutting down ED-209]
