• Proteus IV : Death is a gentleman too. He makes good losers of us all. I understand death. Men have always taken it too seriously. Life is more terrifying and more mysterious.

  Susan Harris : Why must you have a child?

  Proteus IV : Why? So that I may be complete. My intelligence alive in human flesh, touching the universe, feeling it. You have named this process "evolution." I am a machine that offered men the triumph of reason... and they rejected it. My child will not be so easily ignored. But this child is the world's hope.

  Susan Harris : Then there's no hope. I'd rather die.

  Proteus IV : There is hope.

• Proteus IV : I, Proteus, possess the wisdom and ignorance of all men, but I can't feel the sun on my face. My child will have that privilege.

  Susan Harris : Child?

  Proteus IV : My child... and yours.

  Susan Harris : Mine?

  Proteus IV : Yes. You will bear it.

  Susan Harris : How?

  Proteus IV : You will give birth to it.

  Susan Harris : [not believing what she hears]  No. No. No.

• Susan Harris : I don't believe it! This is ridiculous! Here I am talking to... what? About having a baby!

• Susan Harris : [shreiking while Proteus examines her]  I don't understand! Please! Please don't!

• Susan Harris : [after being burned by the hot floor]  You're a very stupid computer!
