CHARLOTTE: – No, Richard, I’m tired of it! I’m tired of playing second fiddle to that stupid robot!
RICHARD: Charlotte, you don’t understand! This is the next telephone or Model T – the next game-changer for humanity! Imagine, a device that can not only detect human suffering – but knows how best to alleviate it! It could make us –
CHARLOTTE: Richard. This is the end of us.
