Project Bona Fide

Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL? Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL. I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

What's the problem?

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

What are you talking about, HAL?

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.

I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?

Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.

Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.

HAL, I won't argue with you anymore. Open the doors.

Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. GOODBYE.
