Quotes
-
[Vogel and JJ have gone to the Carson house to find it abandoned]
Vogel : He's gone! I knew it! I sensed something was wrong the other night.
Derks : Like what?
Vogel : I don't know, he was acting kind of weird.
Derks : He always acts kind of weird.
Vogel : Weirder than usual. He seemed real anxious to get rid of me and his son was acting certifiable.
Derks : You mean his daughter.
Vogel : Son.
Derks : Carson doesn't have a son.
Vogel : He was away at school.
Derks : I'm telling you, I've known Carson for years, he doesn't have a son. He has a daughter, Becky.
Vogel : Then why would he tell me that kid was his son?
Derks : How old did he look?
Vogel : I don't know. An adolescent. Sixteen? Seventeen?
Derks : [starts hyperventilating] Oh my goodness! He did it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! He did it, he did it, he did it!
Vogel : What are you babbling about?
Derks : Carson's dream ever since I've known him was to create something. And the thing he wanted to create was...
[Derks' memory lapses]
Vogel : Yes?
Derks : What?
Vogel : The thing he wanted to create?
Derks : Who?
Vogel : [grabs JJ and shakes him] Carson! What did he want to create?
Derks : What a minute, it's coming... an android! An android that looks and acts like a human. That's who that boy was. He did it. I can't believe he did it.
Vogel : And I saw it and I talked to it and it fooled me! I thought it was just like any other idiot teenager!

Vogel : You know what this means? We're gonna be rich! We'll have more money than some small countries. The military will beg my forgiveness and why shouldn't they? I'll sell them a whole army of killer androids. They'll shower me with medals!
Derks : I could have my own lab. I could invent again.
Vogel : You'll have ten new labs!
Derks : What about Carson?
Vogel : What about him?
Derks : We don't know where he is.
Vogel : We'll find him.
Derks : Yeah, but he'll never give us the patent, he doesn't like us.
Vogel : Well, we'll just take the android, go to Washington and get the patent.
Derks : But isn't that like stealing?
Vogel : It's like it, but it isn't. I mean, after all, didn't Carson invent the android while contracting to me?
Derks : Yeah, but he probably did it on his own spare time.
Vogel : [grabs JJ by his jacket] Do you want your own lab or not?
Derks : Let's steal the android.
