When are you going to get me a replacement butler? Marshall: My name is Marshall, I'm from MCM Pictures. Duncan: Oh, a movie studio. Marshall: Is something the matter, Sir Duncan? Duncan: No... I fired my robot butler a few days ago... Still waiting for a replacement... But that's none of your business. What do you want? Marshall: It's about the music for a movie we're making... - Page 137 - Duncan: Hmph, a movie deal. I might consider, depending on the request... Marshall: Yes, you see... We'd like permission to use a score you already wrote... Duncan: Not a new one? Marshall: Well... We had heard you retired from the business... Duncan: Use whatever you like! (beep) Marshall: Ah... Sir Duncan... Device: You have one new message. - Page 138 - Russell: I'm Russell, from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Planning Committee. About your piece "Highland" that we had discussed earlier... I regret to inform you... That we have ultimately decided not to use it. We will contact you again if we wish to make another agreement...

Your land of birth... - Page 144 - Duncan: What did you do there?! North: I went collecting songs. As I collected song after song, I finally found it. The song you were humming in your sleep, Master Duncan... I will sing it now. Duncan: Stop it!! I don't want to hear any machine's music!! Stop invading my nightmares!! There are some things people want to forget!! North: Your dream is not a nightmare. - Page 145 - North: It is not a thing you would wish to erase, as my dreams are. You are correct, sir. I am no more than a weapon. In the Central Asian Conflict, I destroyed many, many enemy robots... Just as you said... Tens of thousands. The memories of destroying ten thousand of my kind cycle through my A.I. constantly. - Page 146 - North: I met an old man in Bohemia. He was an expert in folk songs. He knew that song you sang. And he remembered someone who used to be very good at singing it. Your mother. Your mother is also included... In the data I have assembled, regarding you. Your mother did not abandon you during the worst of your sickness. - Page 147 - North: She approached that wealthy man, Jonathan Thorn, so that your illness could be treated. That is how she was able to pay that Japanese doctor the exorbitant price he charged for your surgery. You were not abandoned. After you lost your eyesight, your mother stayed close by you... But knowing of your anger and hatred, she could not reach out to you. Duncan: No... - Page 148 - North: It's true. Aren't you omitting some very important memories, when you recall your homeland? The elderly man in the village told me. When the sun would set over the edge of the land, you and your mother would hold hands... And sing this song... - Page 149 - - Page 150 - Duncan: Mom... Mom... North: I'm sorry to force my artificial "song" upon you... I just wanted to say that your dreams are not nightmares. Not like my dreams... - Page 151 - Duncan: North #2... You don't have to go... to the battlefield, anymore... Let's practice the piano. North: Yes, sir. - Page 152 - - Page 153 - Duncan: North #2... Hey, North #2! - Page 154 - North: Yes, Master Duncan. Duncan: I've finally finished the song. Listen to it. North: I would love to listen to it sir, but... At the moment... Duncan: Hmm? What is it? North: Something is approaching. Duncan: What? Is it one of your friends? North: Did you hear the news from Switzerland a few days ago? Duncan: News? You mean that robot Montblanc, who got caught up in a whirlwind and destroyed? - Page 155 - North: A whirlwind has materialized roughly 100 kilometers away. Something... is threatening... It's approaching. Duncan: H... hey, North #2! North: I'll be right back. - Page 156 - Sound: (rumble) - Page 157 - Duncan: North #2... North #2... North...
