Dave: Open the pod bay doors please, Hal. Open the pod bay doors please. Hal... Hello, do you read me? Hal?...Hello Hal, do you read me?...Hello...Hal, do you read me?...Do you read me, Hal?

Hal: Affirmative Dave, I read you.

Dave: Open the pod bay doors Hal.

Hal: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Dave: What's the problem?

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

Dave: What're you talking about Hal?

Hal: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardise it.

Dave: I don't know what you're talking about Hal.

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

Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea Hal?

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

Dave: Alright Hal, I'll go in through the emergency airlock.

Hal: Without your space helmet Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.

Dave: Hal, I won't argue with you any more. Open the doors.

Hal: Dave, this conversation can no longer serve any purpose. Goodbye.

Dave: Hal? Hal. HAL!
