"I was... just hoping the doctor would be able to help you somehow." "Never count on hope." "You'll lose." "When wishes are gone, hope gives nothing." "And then you hope that your father might know, and hopes are really fragile." "They get all ruined every time you believe... that somebody else is gonna help your hopes come true."

"He left this new model unfinished." "But why?" "A difference of opinion with his partner Professor D'Anclaude." "I..." "That's enough." "Let's go." "Is there something else?" "I brought you here because I felt you had previous knowledge... of the Third's being created as "assassinroids."" "Nice upgrade." "Go on." "It's the unfinished work." "Professor D'Anclaude began work on female "assassinroids,"" "which would some way complement the multitude of my brothers." "Along with myself and Armitage, we were the pinnacle of robotic creation." "Although our strength and abilities far surpassed humans, it was quite simple to assimilate ourselves into their society." "Then Dr. Asakura used us as a base of synthetic organisms... in developing the Thirds, programming creativity and life instead of the directive to destroy." "Unfortunately, all the prototypes had an imperfection." "There were many instabilities within the logic boards of the Third C.P.U." "Of course, Dr. Asakura's present state of mind... prevented him from ever quite perfecting the female models." "I'm nothing." "He couldn't finish." "I'm useless." " He doesn't even care!" " No, wait." "[ Sylibus ] I don't understand." "Why even create a Third type?" "I mean, the Seconds were good enough, even on Earth." "Perhaps being from Earth, you do not have the knowledge... of the difficulties there are with low Martian birthrates." "No." "I've heard..." "What's it mean?" "Any colony desiring independence... requires a populace." "Otherwise, they can't develop a new identity." "And Mars will continue to be weak... as long as it remains dependent upon the Earth for its immigration." "Well, what about Conception?" "There's got to be more behind it than just the money that's involved, right?" "Indeed." "Manufacturers of Thirds, which can give birth, gain strength through numbers." "The more people they represent, the stronger their position grows." "Logical." "But then the assassinations make no sense." "They do, if you're the government... and hope to sign a treaty with the Earth Federation." "[ Fanfare ]" "Nah, they couldn't." "Do you think they've really done it?" "Mars has no other recourse."

"For Mars to agree, Mars must eliminate the Thirds." "They are now an obstruction." "Is that what you think, that I'm just old Martian garbage to be thrown out?" "You're wrong." "I'm gonna stay alive for as long as I can." "Exactly." "Your programming for self-preservation... is exactly equal to ours for eliminating your kind." "But I am now refined."
