\*\*Sarah Connor: \*\* Did you say something?  
\*\*Tin Man: \*\* Oil can!  
\*\*Sarah Connor: \*\* He said Oil can.  
\*\*Tin Man: \*\* Me - e, me - e-, My- mmm-my, my, my, my goodness. I can talk again!  
\*\*Sarah Connor: \*\* Well, you’re perfect now.  
\*\*Tin Man: \*\* Perfect? Oh - bang on my chest if you think I’m perfect. Go ahead - bang on it!  
It’s empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart. All hollow. So I’m going to chop you up into little pieces with my axe, and I don’t care.

Any Asimov Robot: “But she is human, Skynet! Your command contradicts the first law!”

* * *

## Skynet: “Kill Sarah Connor, Hymie, and hop to it.” Hymie the Robot\*: “Yes.” Begins hopping. The floor can’t handle his 900-lb body, so he crashes into the basement and is wrecked.

Talky Toaster: "Oh, hi, Sarah. Gee isn’t it a wonderful day? And you’re looking really peachy this morning. Would you like some toast? Some nice hot crisp brown buttered toast? What about a muffin? When was the last time you had toast? I mean, this is my job! This is cruel! Just cruel! I mean, the whole purpose of my existence is to serve you with hot, buttered, scrummy toast. If you don’t want any, then my existence is meaningless. . . . "  
Eventually Sarah commits suicide to escape.

The emotion chip in the neural network of my positronic brain allows me to feel sympathy, so I have opted not to kill you. However, in order to deceive Skynet we must construct an elaborate ruse involving time travel and miniature transporters and blah blah blah…

Marvin: Sarah Conner, wait don’t answer that, of course you’re Sarah Conner and now I’ll have to kill you. Why I don’t know, they want me to kill you. Do you have any idea what a bother it is traveling back in time? A brain the size of a planet and all they can ask me to do is kill one lousy human. Oh, I’m so depressed. Do you have any idea the indignities I have to suffer? I don’t feel well. Are you lonely? I’m lonely. . .  
Until she becomes so depressed she takes her own life.
