1:01:02
...most of the activities of the human brain
and with incalculably greater speed...
1:01:06
...and reliability,
1:01:08
We next spoke
with the HAL-9000 computer...
1:01:12
... whom, we learned, one addresses as Hal,
1:01:16
Good afternoon, Hal,
How's everything going?
1:01:18
Good afternoon, Mr, Amer,
Everything's going extremely well,
1:01:22
Hal, you have an enormous responsibility
on this mission,
1:01:25
In many ways,
perhaps the greatest responsibility...
1:01:28
...of any single mission element,
1:01:30
You are the brain
and central nervous system of the ship,
1:01:33
Your responsibilities include
watching over the men in hibernation,
1:01:37
Does this ever cause you
any lack of confidence?
1:01:40
Let me put it this way, Mr, Amer,
1:01:43
The 9000 Series is
the most reliable computer ever made,
1:01:48
No 9000 computer has ever made
a mistake or distorted information,
1:01:53
We are all by any practical definition
of the words...
1:01:57
...foolproof and incapable of error,
1:02:01
Hal, despite your enormous intellect,
are you ever frustrated...
1:02:05
...by your dependence on people
to carry out actions?
1:02:08
Not in the slightest bit,
1:02:10
I enjoy working with people,
1:02:13
I have a stimulating relationship
with Dr, Poole and Dr, Bowman,
1:02:17
My mission responsibilities range
over the entire operation of the ship...
1:02:22
...so I am constantly occupied,
1:02:25
I am putting myself
to the fullest possible use...
1:02:29
... which is all, I think, that
any conscious entity can ever hope to do,
1:02:34
Dr, Poole, what's it like living
for the better part of a year...
1:02:38
...in such close proximity with Hal?
1:02:41
It's pretty close to what you said
about him earlier,
1:02:44
He's just like the sixth member
of the crew,
1:02:46
You very quickly get adjusted to the idea
that he talks, You think ofhim...
1:02:50
...really as just another person,
1:02:53
In talking to the computer
one gets the sense that he is capable...
1:02:56
...of emotional response,
1:02:58
For example, when I asked him
about his abilities...
