:19:01
I tinkered him together
during my first months up here.
:19:05
- Coffee is ready, sir.
- Gentlemen.
:19:09
Doctor, do you mean that
you made this gentleman?
:19:14
A useful enough toy, Lieutenant...
:19:16
but nowadays I have
no time for such things.
:19:22
Dr. Morbius, you're a philologist,
an expert in words and languages...
:19:26
their origins and meanings.
:19:28
Yet this robot of yours
is beyond the combined resources...
:19:31
of all Earth's physical science.
:19:34
My dear Commander,
maybe you overestimate...
:19:37
both Robby and myself.
:19:40
Gentlemen, let me show you
another bit of parlor magic.
:19:52
Forgive me. I didn't mean
to alarm you, gentlemen.
:19:55
I had Robby install
the steel shutters...
:19:58
before I realized how
altogether safe I am here.
:20:07
Well, gentlemen,
this has been very pleasant.
:20:10
You've seen how
comfortable I am here...
:20:13
no hardships,
no special difficulties...
:20:17
and no need at all
for military assistance.
:20:20
Now I daresay you're impatient
to get back to base.
:20:22
Yes, the moment we've interviewed the
other members of the Belerephon party.
:20:27
Others. But there are
no others, Commander.
:20:31
Before the first year was out,
they had all, every man and woman...
:20:34
succumbed to a...
to a sort of a planetary force here...
:20:39
some dark, terrible,
incomprehensible force.
:20:43
Only my wife and I were immune.
:20:46
And just how do you account
for your immunity, Dr. Morbius?
:20:49
We differed from the others only
in our special love for this world...
:20:53
in our boundless longing
to make a home here...
:20:56
far from the scurry
and strife of humankind.
