Not precisely. [Spooner picks up a stool and swings it into an unbroken window in Lanning's office, which cracks, but doesn't break] What in God's name are you doing?!
Did you know that was safety glass? Be pretty difficult for an old man to throw himself through that, don't you think?
Detective, the room was securely locked. Nobody came or went. You saw that yourself. Doesn't that mea this has to be suicide?
Mm-hmm. [drawing his gun] Unless the killer is still in here. [starts searching through a container full of robotic parts]
[realising what Spooner's getting at]
You're joking, right? [follows him] This is ridiculous.
Yeah, I know. The Three Laws. Your perfect circle of protection.
"A robot cannot harm a human being." The First Law of Robotics.
Yeah, I've seen your commercials. But doesn't the Second Law say that a robot must obey any order given by a human. What if it was given an order to kill?
Impossible, it would conflict with the First Law!
Right, but the Third Law states that a robot can defend itself.
Yes, but only if that action does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Well, you know what they say. Laws are made to be broken.
No. Not these Laws. They're hardwired into every robot. A robot could no more commit murder than a human could... walk on water.
Well, you know, there was this one guy, a long time ago-
[Sonny jumps out of the container, knocking Spooner's gun out of his hand]
