## Joshua Taylor

* You got to be a good person to go to heaven.
* They're not people, Maya. They're just programming.
* Trust me, I'm getting you out of this.
* I'll do anything to keep her safe.
* [Written on the mirror] My best friends are software

## Alphie

* Then we're the same, we can't go to heaven. Because you're not good, and I'm not a person.
* My name is not Bot. My name's Alphie. Remember?
* They've come for me. I have to help.
* To be free.

* [To Joshua] Execute her or we go extinct.

## Colonel Howell

* You know, Neanderthal's got a bad rap. I mean, people talk about them like they were dumb, but... you know, turns out they made tools. They made clothes. They made medicine out of plants. They even made art. Little flower necklaces to bury their dead in. The only problem was there was a species that was smarter and meaner than them. Us. And we raped and murdered them out of existence.

## Drew

* Do you have any idea of what that thing is? She looks like a little girl now, but she's growing.

## Shipley

* [Arguing with Joshua] Whose side are you on, huh?

## Uncredited Scientist/Engineer

* [Heard through speech translator] Go make love to yourself. Go make love to your mother.

## McBride

* [Referring to Alphie] She looks like a little girl now, but she's growing. Whoever has that kid, wins the war.

## Dialogue

    Howell: Did you locate the weapon?
    Joshua: Yeah, it's just a kid!?
    Alphie: What's Heaven?
    Joshua: It's a peaceful place in the sky.
    Alphie: Are you going to Heaven?
    Joshua: No. You gotta be a good person to go to Heaven.
    Alphie: Then we're the same, we can't go to heaven. Because you're not good, and I'm not a person.
    Kami: What do you want, sweetie?
    Alphie: For robots to be free.
    Kami: Oh. We don't have that in the fridge. How about ice cream?
    Colonel Howell: Taylor, where is Shipley?
    Joshua: I'm with him right now. He's in pretty bad shape.
    Colonel Howell: Alright. Listen to me. Did you locate the weapon?
    Joshua: Yeah. It's here. I'm with it.
    Colonel Howell: Describe it.
    Joshua: It's a kid. It's a kid. They've made it into some kind of kid. That's the weapon.
    Colonel Howell: What? I can't reach you. You have to bring it in. Do you understand?
    Joshua: No. Shipley can't move. He's not looking good. At all. Police are everywhere. I don't know how I'm getting out right now. I don't even have an exit strategy right now.
    Colonel Howell: Then do what you have to do. Kill it.
    Joshua: What?
