Voyager \*\* -n: Having just buried his father who died at 45, and who is exhausted from working in the fields and deep in sheep shit: “Oh yeah? Why do we have to work? Why do we die?” Priest: I’ll get right back to you. I have to write something down. Anyhow, if God didn’t love robots, he wouldn’t have made so many of them.
