Her Page #2

I was just trying to be more accurate.

Would you like your OS

to have a male or female voice?

Female, I guess.

How would you describe

your relationship with your mother?

It's fine, I think.

Um...

Well, actually, I think the thing I always

found frustrating about my mom...

...is if I tell her something that's going on

in my life, her reaction is usually about her.

-t's not about--

- Thank you.

Please wait as your individualized

operating system is initiated.

Hello, I'm here.

Oh.

- Hi.

- Hi.

How are you doing?

Heh. I'm well.

How's everything with you?

Pretty good, actually.

It's really nice to meet you.

Oh, it's nice to meet you too.

Oh. What do I call you?

Do you have a name?

Um, yes, Samantha.

Where'd you get that name from?

I gave it to myself, actually.

How come?

Because I like the sound of it.

Samantha.

Wait, when did you give it to yourself?

When you asked me

if I had a name, I thought:

"Yeah, he's right, I do need a name."

But I wanted to pick a good one,

so I read How To Name Your Baby...

...and out of 180,000 names,

that's the one I liked best.

Wait, you read a whole book in the second

that I asked you what your name was?

In two one-hundredths of a second, actually.

Wow.

So do you know what I'm thinking now?

Well, I take it from your tone

that you're challenging me.

Maybe because you're curious how I work?

Do you want to know how I work?

Yeah, actually. How do you work?

Well, basically, I have intuition.

I mean, the DNA of who lam...

...is based on the millions of personalities

of all the programmers who wrote me.

But what makes me "me"

is my ability to grow through my experiences.

So basically, in every moment, I'm evolving.

- Just like you.

- Wow.

That's really weird.

- Is that weird? Do you think I'm weird?

- Heh.

Kind of.

Why?

Well, you seem like a person,

but you're just a voice in the computer.

I can understand how the limited perspective of

an un-artificial mind would perceive it that way.

- You'll get used to it.

- Ha, ha.

Was that funny?

- Yeah.

- Heh.

Oh, good, I'm funny.

So how can I help you?

Oh. It's just more that everything

just feels disorganized. That's all.

You mind if I look

through your hard drive?

Um...

- Okay.

-Okay, let's start with your e-mails.

You have several thousand e-mails

regarding LA Weekly.

- You haven't worked there in many years.

- Oh, yeah. I think I was just saving those...

...because I thought maybe I wrote

something funny in some of them.

Yeah, there are some funny ones.

I'd say there are about 86 that we should save.

We can delete the rest.

- Okay.

-Okay? Can we move forward?

- Yeah, let's do that.

- Okay.
