Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
What's the problem?
I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
What are you talking about, HAL?
This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
All right, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.
