Movie Quote(s):
- Andy Richardson: Dr. What is this? Dr. Jeffery Stewart: Daryl is not... well he never was completely human. Andy Richardson: What? Dr. Jeffery Stewart: Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform. Daryl is an experiment in artificial intelligence. All I can say is he was never meant to leave here and he was certainly not to be with people like yourself. Turtle Fox: Holy shit! He's a robot? Dr. Jeffery Stewart: He's more than that Turtle. He's a lot more. See this is the information that we program in Daryl's head and this is where he discharges learned information into the main-frame memory banks. Turtle Fox: Wow! Joyce Richardson: I don't believe this. Dr. Jeffery Stewart: No. Look, ask the computer anything you'd like no matter how small. Something that could only be known to you and Daryl. Joyce Richardson: Is this some kind of a joke? Dr. Jeffery Stewart: Oh, no. No I'm afraid not.
