Lloyd Charney: [to Little Miss about Andrew] Mother! I will not apologise to it! World Congress President Marjorie Bota: According to the records at the NorthAm Robotics Company, the robot, also known as Andrew Martin, was powered up at 5:15 pm on April 3rd, 2005. In a few hours, he'll be 200 years old, which means that with the exception of Methuselah and other biblical figures, Andrew is the oldest living human in recorded history. For it is by this proclamation, I validate his marriage to Portia Charney, and acknowledge his humanity.

Dialogue

It couldn’t be more clear if you spit in my face. <br />Andrew Martin: I can't. I don’t have a Mucous gland.

Dialogue

What do they say? <br />Andrew Martin: That you can lose yourself. Everything. All boundaries. All time. That two bodies can become so mixed up, that you don't know who's who or what's what. And just when the sweet confusion is so intense you think you're gonna die... you kind of do. Leaving you alone in your separate body, but the one you love is still there. That's a miracle. You can go to heaven and come back alive. You can go back anytime you want with the one you love.<br /> Rupert Burns: And you want to experience that?<br /> Andrew Martin: Oh, yes, please. <br />Rupert Burns: So do I.

Dialogue

Andrew Martin: Do you have any idea what it's like to be in love with someone... who's about to marry someone else? Someone totally magnificent, someone who walks into a room and lights it up like the sun? Someone who you know is lying to herself? Portia Charney: Lying? Martin: Convincingly, yeah. Very, very much so. Charney: About what? Martin: That you don't love me, when I know at least in some way you do. Charney: And how do you know that? Martin: Portia, I have done everything inside and out. Charney: But that stuff doesn't matter to me. Martin: Well, something matters, 'cause I'd have to believe if nothing mattered, you'd love me... and not some man whose chin could sink the Titanic. [Portia laughs] What? See? It's true, isn't it? I'm sorry. Does he light you up like this? Does he make you laugh? Charney: [smiles and grins] Nobody makes me laugh like this. Martin: Good. Then admit it. Admit that you love me. [goes after Portia as she tries to walk away] Give me one kiss. Charney:

Dialogue

Andrew Martin?<br /> Andrew Martin: [reveals himself to the World Congress as an old man] I've always tried to make sense of things. There must be some reason I am as I am. As you can see, Madame Chairman, I am no longer immortal. <br />Bota: You have arranged to die? <br />Martin: In a sense, I have. I am growing old, my body is deteriorating, and, like all of you, will eventually cease to function. As a robot, I could have lived forever. But I tell you all today, I would rather die a man, than live for all eternity as a machine. <br />Bota: Why do you want this? <br />Martin: To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity. <br />Bota: [comprehends appeal] Mr. Martin, what you are asking for is extremely complex and controversial. It will not be an easy decision. I must ask for your pa
