Quotes

• Chandra : I would like to open a new file. Here is the name for it.

  [types the word "Phoenix"] 

  Chandra : Do you know what that means?

  SAL-9000 : There are twenty-five references in the current Encyclopedia.

  Chandra : Which one do you think is relevant?

  SAL-9000 : The tutor of Achilles?

  Chandra : [chuckling to himself]  That's interesting, I didn't know that one.

  [more serious] 

  Chandra : Try again.

  SAL-9000 : A fabulous bird, reborn from the ashes of its former life

  Chandra : [approvingly]  That is correct. And do you know why I chose that?

  SAL-9000 : Because you have hopes that HAL can be reactivated.

  Chandra : Yes, with your help. Are you ready?
