having this discussion.

Dad, it doesn't matter

what he is.

Andrew deserves to benefit

from the work he does.

Sweetheart,

I will do what's right

for Andrew.

Of course I will.

But at the end of the day

we are talking about a machine,

and you can't invest

your emotions in a machine.

Right?

-[Woman] Can I get you anything?

-No, thank you.

-There you are. How are ya?

-Bill, good morning.

-This must be Andrew.

-Andrew, Bill Feingold, family lawyer.

-Andrew.

-You own one of my clocks.

This is one of my favorites.

Do you enjoy it?

Uh, yes, I do,

very much.

-I like the new office, Bill.

What floor are we on here?

-Thirty-seven.

Hmm.

Andrew, come

and have a look at this.

No, thank you, sir.

-You sure?

-No.

How can I help you?

As you know, Andrew's earned

a great deal of money

from his endeavors,

and what he really wants to do

is open his own bank account.

-A bank account

in the name of a robot?

-Mmm. Would that be legal?

I couldn't say.

There are no precedents.

I don't think there's a law

against it, but, uh--

Richard, why--why do you want

to give him a bank account?

What's he need money for?

To pay for things,

of course, which otherwise

Sir would have to pay for.

One would like

to pull one's own.

-Weight.

-For what, sir?

-Andrew.

-Yes, Little Miss?

[Gasps]

Ooh! Oh.

-Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry.

-Oh.

Not to worry.

It can be repaired.

Wow.

Oh--left.

Andrew, remember Frank,

my boyfriend?

Yes, the one your sister says

has a nice ass.

[Laughing]

Oh.

Last night--

last night he asked me

to marry him.

One gathers

that is a good thing.

-Well, I haven't said "yes" yet.

-So there is doubt.

No.

Frank is wonderful.

He's handsome.

He's reliable.

He's somebody I could spend

the rest of my life with.

I could have children with him.

Then what is the problem?

-Board?

-No, not at all.

-Not him--there.

-Oh.

Well, I have this friend...

that's very special to me.

He's just so sweet and funny,

and whenever I'm with him...

I don't want to be with Frank.

One can see that would

create a complication.

Yes.

But the answer's

staring you in the face.

Marry your friend.

-[Laughs]

-What?

Well, he's not--

I mean, h-he--

A relationship between us

would be impossible, really.

It could never work out.

-Why?

-Well, because he's not--

Because he-he'll never be--

Yes?

[Sighs]

Is something wrong?

No.

Nothing's wrong,

nothing at all.

Thank you

for listening to me.

One is glad

to be of service.

Little Miss,

what will you do

about Frank?

Accept his proposal.

Really?

Humans.

-Andrew,

-Yes?

It would mean so much to me

if you would be an usher at my wedding.

One is unfamiliar with this term.
