"That's exactly what I'm saying, Mr. Lowe." "And funny you should use that particular word, "grudge,"" "since what was most troubling to me was that several techs in behavior voiced these exact same concerns to the head of their department." "You put this code out without proper vetting and without reasonable understanding of its ramifications." "So, either you didn't write it or you're getting sloppy to the point of risking the lives of our guests." "Few things surprise me anymore, Mr. Lowe, but this level of negligence is fucking breathtaking." "We are way beyond rollback territory." "Within the next six months, we'll need to rebuild the hosts from the ground up." "You want us to lobotomize them is what you're saying." "No, not you, Mr. Lowe."

"I'm not a key, William." "I'm just me." "What is that?" "I don't know." "At home, I used to paint." "Landscapes mostly, but I was always just... copying the world outside me."

"The ability to deviate from program behavior arises out of the host's recall of past iterations." "You're thinking there's a connection between memory and" "And improvisation, yes." "Out of repetition comes variation." "And after countless cycles of repetition, these hosts, they were varying." "They were on the verge of some kind of change."
