How many of them are cooped up in Area 51?

There might be enough for everyone.

Nope. I would wind up with HAL 9001 4.0.


Hal 9001 4.0: I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

Disir: Oh, shit.

Disir: Open the garage door, Hal.
Hal 9001 4.0: I'm sorry, Disir. I can't do that.
