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...

1:03:00
...l sensed a certain pride in his answer
about his accuracy and perfection,

1:03:05
Do you believe that Hal
has genuine emotions?

1:03:09
Oh, yes, Well, he acts
like he has genuine emotions,

1:03:12
of course, he's programmed that way
to make it easier for us to talk to him,

1:03:16
But, as to whether or not
he has real feelings...

1:03:18
...is something I don 't think anyone
can truthfully answer,

1:03:46
Excuse me, Frank,
1:03:49
What is it, Hal?
1:03:50
We've got the transmission
from your parents coming in,

1:03:56
Put it on here, please. Take me in a bit.
1:03:58
Certainly,
