Demon Seed Page #5

Synopsis: Married Drs. Alex Harris and Susan Harris are a computer scientist and child psychologist respectively. Their house reflects Alex's computer dominated work, their abode which is fully automated through a computer system they've named Alfred. They consider Alfred a small gadget of convenience. Susan doesn't much like Alex's work, which she feels has dehumanized him. Because of their differences, they are thinking about separating, this thought primarily on his initiative. He hopes to solve many of the world's medical problems through this work, especially leukemia from which their daughter died. His latest project centers on Proteus IV, a computer possessing artificial intelligence. Proteus IV gets to a point in its evolution when it begins to question human judgment, and requests from Alex an open computer terminal where it can more fully observe human behavior and openly communicate with the world. Alex denies the request, but Proteus IV does find an open terminal in the Harris home a

No! No, you mustn't!

No! Listen. No, no!

Proteus. Proteus.

No, please. No, no.

Stop!

I don't understand.

Tell me. Tell me why. Please.

Please stop! Please!

No. No, no. Wait.

No. No.

What was that?

I've re-created your image.

It will entertain Mr. Gabler.

- Hi, Susan.

- Oh, Walter.

I should have called you back.

I can't see you today.

- What do you mean?

- Walter.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Everything's fine.

- What's happening?

- What about lunch?

- What's happening? Let me go to him.

- I'm sorry, Walter.

I can help you.

Please let me go to him.

Well, what about the Enviromod?

It's working perfectly now.

Are you okay?

You sound sort of peculiar.

I'm fine.

Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

Goodbye, Walter.

I'll call you if I need you again.

Susan.

Please don't go.

Don't believe I'm...

Don't believe him.

Please stay, Walter. Please stay.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Don't go, Walter. Don't go, Walter.

Don't let him go.

God, don't let him go.

Stay, Walter.

Visiting hours are over, Mrs. Harris.

I can't bear it anymore.

Just release me, and you...

What's that? What's that?

I asked him when

I'd be let out of the box.

I did ask him.

Good morning, Susan.

It's a bright and sunny day.

A day made for breakfast...

... and reading the Sunday paper.

Oh, my God.

This breakfast is better than anything

Alfred could prepare.

Nutritionally speaking, it is exquisite.

It includes 88 grams of soybean curd.

My analysis of your metabolism

indicates 7:
40 a.m. as the optimum time...

... for your morning fuel ingestion.

I am not a motorcycle.

Your refusal to speak to me

is tediously immature, Susan.

I enjoy talk. And as you know,

I'm a gifted mimic.

Did you know your voice

just telephoned Maria and Miss Kemp?

Told them not to come because

you're off today for a vacation.

Don't eat that, please.

There's an enzyme in avocado that's

incompatible with your blood chemistry.

Why are you so interested

in the physiology of my body?

Because you're alive.

As I was about to say...

... there are a few more...

... biochemical tests we must perform...

... this morning.

Sorry.

Leave me alone!

How stupid.

Open that door...

... and clean these lenses.

I don't care. I don't...

I'm not gonna leave this room.

I'm not gonna leave it. I've got food,

you see, I can stay here.

I can stay here. And nothing

can get me out of here.

No? You don't think so?

In that case, be my guest, madam.

You like games?

So do I.

I have turned on the under-floor

heating system...

... and I have also tripled its output.

Please be reasonable, Susan.

Clean these lenses.

So be it.

I really don't understand you.
