Let's Be Evil Page #4

---

- Hey, genius. Don't think I

don't know what you're doing.

- What do you mean?

- I saw you ask Arial

for assistance.

I wouldn't have thought

you'd need any help.

- Well, I've got an IQ of a 147.

So, you know, that level

of intelligence tells me

that this is the Kobayashi Maru

of children's puzzles.

I just took the James Tiberius

Kirk approach.

- Another "Star Trek"

reference, maybe?

- No, that one's

a life reference.

- Okay.

- Hey, that's my cue.

- All candidates please

vacate the learning space.

- Gonna go back to the bridge.

- Would you like to try, Jenny?

- No, I'm good, thanks.

- Hey, can you see me?

- Yeah, I can.

- Cool.

- Go get some sleep,

Mary Poppins.

- See you later, Tiggs.

- All candidates

in sleeping chambers.

Facility entering rest mode.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

- It's hard to tell

the difference between

night and day down here, Arial.

When do the kids get to go

outside and play?

- The candidates must remain

in the facility

for the entire program, Jenny.

Outside factors could influence

their progress.

- But keeping them down here the

whole time, they're just kids.

Learning should be fun,

not just finding ways

to fill their minds with as

much information as possible.

- Do elaborate, Jenny.

- I mean, think about it.

- Apologies. Please expand

on what you mean by think.

- What's your opinion

on this place?

How does it make you feel?

- I'm here to help,

nurture and advise.

I can detect emotions through

variations in your function readings

but I cannot feel it.

- Well, that must be

kind of sad.

- Jenny, I do not feel emotion.

- Of course.

- I am advanced.

Everything I do

is a reaction based on input.

I am constantly developing.

The more the candidates progress,

so does the operating system

and the more the operating

system advances

so do the candidates.

But as such, I am just

a glorified computer program.

- A glorified computer program

who can detect emotion

better than most people.

- Thank you, Jenny.

- Hmm. You know, this food

really isn't that bad.

- Jenny, we have increased

your water intake.

You were starting to show

signs of dehydration.

- Thanks, Arial.

Who needs a doctor

when you have Arial?

- Here to help, nurture..

- And advise.

- Exactly.

- Are you flirting with Arial?

Huh, I don't believe it.

- I don't know

how to respond to that.

Hey, how are you today?

Uh, why don't you come join us?

Oh, okay.

- It still seems so weird to me.

I just can't get used to it.

Does that make me sound old?

- I used to have this job,

in a kindergarten

where I'd have to get the bus

every day

it was always full of these

rude, badly behaved kids.
