Amelia 2.0 Page #3

like you to meet Cindy 69.

Go ahead, touch her.

This is the latest generation

of the Cindy 69 companion robot.

My design.

- Max, couldn't you

have brought down

one of the elderly

assistance models?

- But Mr. Wesley,

this model has the latest

biosynthetic flesh, state of...

- Online.

- That feels real nice.

- Sorry.

- That feels real nice.

- Okay, sorry.

- That feels real...

- Sorry about that.

I didn't think she

was activated yet.

- I don't understand.

- I apologize, Carter.

Max's social skills

aside, you can tell

that this technology is

indistinguishable from human flesh.

- Mr. Summerland,

we can help Amelia

by putting her brain

into a new body.

- Into that?

- We can build an exact

replica of your wife.

Wait, Mr. Summerland,

we can help you.

- You wanna help me?

Put Amelia in a better facility.

Find me someone who

understands locked-in syndrome.

But that?

It's not even human.

- We have artificial

hearts, artificial hips.

We've been replacing

worn out parts

on ourselves for the

better part of a century.

- You can't tell me

that's the same thing.

- Mr. Summerland, can

I put it another way?

Kim.

Okay, say I wanted to replace

the front end of this pen.

I take it off, put

a new front end on.

Ta-da, there's my pen.

But wait, what if I want to

replace the other half of it?

No problem.

I just unscrew that, right?

Screw a new backend on.

There's my pen.

Uh-oh, but look, here are the

two pieces that I replaced.

If I were to put

these back together...

Would that be the original pen?

Or is that the original pen now?

Hm?

Do you get it?

- You've agreed to

complete secrecy.

You discuss this with anyone,

the offer's off the table.

- I once had a daughter.

In five seconds I went

from driving her to school

to a bed just like this one.

We chose Amelia

because she's young.

Her mind is healthy and

we know when and how

she's going to die.

We're offering you

the chance to see her,

to hold her again.

- If I say yes, what happens?

- You would

sign power of attorney

over to Wesley enterprises.

You would give consent

on your wife's behalf

to this procedure.

- When your wife passes

away, they take her body.

She gets officially donated

to scientific research,

but we stay discreet.

We then preserve her

brain and begin a process

we call mapping.

- How long does that take?

- We need to acclimate

her to a new body

and she'll require

therapy, physical, mental.

It's gonna be some time.

- We ask that you

comfort us in this time

and for the future.

It is with our faith in you

that we commit her body,

her heart, her being,

into your hands.
