SH Senator Hubert Dreyfuss
I don't care how sophisticated these machines are, Mr. Sellers. A machine does not know what it feels like to be human. It can't understand the value of human life. Why should it be allowed to take one? To legislate over life and death, we need people who understand right from wrong. What do your machines feel?
Raymond Sellars Well, they feel no anger. They feel no prejudice. They feel no fatigue, which makes them ideal for law enforcement. Putting these machines on the streets will save countless American lives.
D Dreyfuss
You're evading the question.
Sellars No, I'm not.
D Dreyfuss
Yes, you're evading the question. I asked what do these machines feel? If one of them killed a child, what would it feel?
Sellars Nothing.
D Dreyfuss
And that's the problem. That's why 72% of Americans won't stand for a robot pulling the trigger.
Raymond Sellars We need to give Americans a product they can love, a figure they can rally behind.
Sir, I have dissected this bill. There are no loopholes. We can't put a machine on the streets.
Sellars Forget machines. You saw the polls. Americans don't want a machine. They want a product with a conscience. They want something that knows what it feels like to be human. We're gonna put a man inside a machine.

Clara, take David and get out of the way now! [they step away] Raymond Sellars, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of a police officer.
Raymond Sellars Are you here to cuff me? All right. Go 'head, cuff me. You can't. You're not programmed that way. If you go against the program, the entire system shuts down, so.
You don't even have a warrant. We'll overlook this little...
R RoboCop
Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your back.
TP Tom Pope
I'm just from marketing.
P Pope
Ok, yep, yep, yep Yep [lies prone together with Kline]
Sellars Alex, we need to work together here, because I'm the only one with the technology to keep you alive.
R RoboCop
Dead or alive, you're coming with me. [forced to crouch down]
Sellars All right. [to security guard] Weapon. Alex, honestly, I mean you no harm. If I wanted to, I could have killed you a long time ago. I just aim this right at your head and blow it off.
CM Clara Murphy
Sellars, please! Don't!
Sellars [as Alex struggles to aim his weapon because of the security protocols]
I mean, if I wanted to, I could just aim this [points weapon at Clara and David] at your little family and I could just kill them too. And really, there's nothing you could do about it because, let's face it, you're a robot. Do you understand that? [sees Alex preparing to fire at him] Alex.
[Both Sellars and Alex shoot, and Sellars is killed instantly]
