This is the transcript of "Kara," a collectible in Beyond: Two Souls.
==Transcript==
(The film opens with a robotic arm placing a female android head on a torso in an assembly bay. Other robotic arms begin attaching panels to the torso and securing them in place.)
Operator: Can you hear me?
(The android opens its eyes.)
Kara: Yes.
Operator: ID?
Kara: KPC897504c.
Operator: Can you move your head?
(The android moves its head as the robotic arms continue working.)
Your eyes now.
(The android looks around as the robotic arms continue working.)
Cervical and optical animation checked. Now give me your initialization text.
(The camera sweeps around the android, showing robotic arms attaching and securing panels and arms to its body as it speaks.)
Kara: Hello, I'm a third-generation AX400 android. I can look after your house, do the cooking, mind the kids. I organize your appointments, I speak 300 languages and I am entirely at your disposal as a sexual partner. No need to feed me or recharge me. I'm equipped with a quantic battery that makes me autonomous for 173 years.
(The camera zooms in on the android's face.)
Do you want to give me a name?
Operator: Yeah, from now on, your name is... Kara.
Kara: My name is Kara.
Operator: Initialization and memorization checked. Now, can you move your arms?
(Kara moves her arms, forming skin on them as the robotic arms continue working.)
Upper limb connection checked. Now say something in German.
(The camera sweeps around Kara, showing robotic arms attaching and securing panels and legs to her body as she speaks.)
Kara: Ich bin ein AX400 Androide dritter Generation, erschaffen als Ihr persönlicher Assistent und intimer Beziehungspartner.
Operator: Say it in French.
(The camera sweeps around Kara, showing robotic arms attaching and securing panels and legs to her body as she speaks.)
Kara: Je suis une androïde de troisième génération AX400 conçue pour être votre assistante personelle et votre partenaire intime.
Operator: Okay. Now, sing something in Japanese.
(Kara sings "Sakura Sakura." A robotic arm moves her onto the catwalk in front of the assembly bay.)
Operator: Multilingual verbal expression checked. Go ahead, take a few steps.
(Kara slowly walks to the end of the catwalk and back, forming skin on her limbs as she returns to the assembly bay.)
Locomotion checked. Great, you're ready for work, honey.
(Kara forms hair and covers her breasts and genitals as skin forms on them.)
Kara: What's going to happen to me now?
Operator: I'll reinitialize you and send you to a store to be sold.
(The robotic arms put undergarments on Kara.)
Kara: Sold? I'm a sort of merchandise, is that right?
(The camera zooms in on Kara's face.)
Operator: Yeah, of course you're merchandise, baby. I mean, you're a computer with arms and legs and capable of doing all sorts of things and you're worth a fortune.
Kara: Oh, I see, I... I thought...
Operator: You thought? What did you think?
(One of the robotic arms moves in front of Kara. The camera zooms in on her mouth and moves up to her eyes as she speaks.)
Kara: I thought... I was alive...
Operator: Shit, what is this crap? That's not part of the protocol... More memory components going off the rails... Okay. Recording: defective model, disassemble and check the required components.
(The camera sweeps around Kara as the robotic arms remove her undergarments.)
Kara: You're disassembling me? But... Why?
Operator: You're not supposed to think that sort of stuff. You're not supposed to think at all, period. You must have a defective piece or software problem somewhere.
(Kara pushes away the robotic arms as they try to remove her limbs. Two of them seize her wrists as the others begin removing limbs and panels from her body.)
Kara: No... No, I feel perfectly fine... I assure you. Everything is all right. I answered all the tests correctly, didn't I?
Operator: Yeah, but your behavior is non-standard.
(The camera zooms in on Kara's face.)
Kara: Please, I'm begging you... Please don't disassemble me...
Operator: I'm sorry honey, but defective models have to be eliminated, that's my job. If a client comes back with a complaint, I'm gonna have some explaining to do...
(The camera sweeps around Kara as the robotic arms continue disassembling her.)
Kara: I won't cause any problems, I promise. I'll do everything I'm asked to, I won't say another word, I won't think anymore... I've only just been born, you can't kill me yet! Stop, will you please stop...
(The camera zooms in on Kara's face.)
I'M SCARED!
(The robotic arms stop disassembling Kara.)
I want to live, I'm begging you...
(Tears roll down Kara's cheeks as the robotic arms reassemble her. She forms hair and skin as they put her undergarments back on, and smiles as the camera zooms in on her face.)
Operator: Go and join the others.
(Kara stands on a conveyor belt to the right of the assembly bay. It carries her forward.)
Stay in line, okay? I don't want any trouble.
(Kara looks back at the assembly bay and smiles.)
Kara: Thanks.
(Kara stands on a platform at the end of a line of four identical androids. Transparent cases descend from above and cover them before another conveyor belt carries them away.)
Operator: My God...
(The camera zooms in on Kara as the scene fades to black.)
