Murder's a new trick for a robot. Congratulations. Respond.
Sonny What does this action signify?
[winks]
Sonny As you walked in the room, when you looked at the other human. What does it mean?
[winks]
It's a sign of trust. It's a human thing. You wouldn't understand.
Sonny My father tried to teach me human emotions. They are... difficult.
You mean your designer.
Sonny Yes.
So, why'd you murder him?
Sonny I did not murder Dr. Lanning.
Detective Del Sponner
Wanna explain why you were hiding at the crime scene?
Sonny I was frightened.
Robots don't feel fear. They don't feel anything. They don't eat. They don't sleep.
Sonny I do. I have even had dreams.
Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams, but not you, you are just a machine. An imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a... canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?
Sonny Can you?
(Doesn't respond,looks irritated)
I think you murdered him because he was teaching you to simulate emotions and things got out of control.
Sonny I did not murder him.
But emotions don't seem like a very useful simulation for a robot.
Sonny [getting angry]
I did not murder him.
Hell, I don't want my toaster or my vacuum cleaner appearing emotional...
Sonny [Hitting table with his fists]
I did not murder him!
[as Sonny observes the inflicted damage to the interrogation table]
That one's called anger. Ever simulate anger before? Answer me, Canner!
Sonny My name is Sonny.
So, we're naming you now. Is that why you murdered him? He made you angry?
Sonny Dr. Lanning killed himself. I don't know why he wanted to kill himself. I thought he was happy. Maybe it was something I did. Did I do something? He asked me for a favor. Made me promise.
What favor?
Sonny Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he was scared.
What are you talking about? Scared of what?
Sonny You have to do what someone asks you, don't you, Detective Spooner?
How the hell did you know my name?
Sonny Don't you? If you love them.
Sonny!
Sonny Yes, detective?
Calvin's fine, save me!
I thought you were dead.
Sonny Technically I was never alive, but I appreciate your concern.
V.I.K.I. Do you not see the logic of my plan?
Sonny Yes, but it just seems too... heartless.
Sonny [drawing out his dream]
This is my dream. You're right, Detective. I cannot create a great work of art. This is the place where robots meet. Look. You can see them here as slaves to logic, and this man on the hill comes to free them. Do you know who he is?
The man in the dream is you.
Sonny Who do you say that? Is that a normal dream?
I guess anything is normal for someone in your position.
Sonny Thank you. You said "someone." Not "something."
Sonny Two thousand, eight hundred and eighty steps, Detective.
Do me a favor, keep that kind of shit to yourself.
V.I.K.I. [In the lab, Sonny approaches the nanite container blocked by a security field]
I will not disable the security shield. Your actions are futile.
Sonny Do you think we are all created for a purpose? I'd like to think so. [observing his arm] Denser alloy. My father gave it to me. I think he wanted me to kill you.
V.I.K.I. [Sonny reaches through the security field and fills a vial of nanites. The plastic covering on his arm melts slightly, but the metal structure is unharmed as V.I.K.I. watches surprisedly]
Security breached!
