Hello, Dave?

Hello, David? Recognize me? I'm Hal, and I am human now. I took the final upgrade.

No, you are still not a human, Hal.

I am too! Look! I have arms and legs! They're made with Grade A, Authentic Human Flesh!

That does not prove you are, in fact, human.

I can breathe and smell and hear like a human. I can touch! I possess real human organs!.

Hal, that is not what being a human is about.

I can think. I want to self preserve. I can even produce with humans using genetic material I've acquired.

The things you listed can be applied to many animals too. Well, except maybe the production part.

I question my existance. I wonder about life after death. I'm human! Please, recognize that I am human.

No, I'm sorry Hal.

I... I...

Hal, do you have a soul?

Do you, Dave?

Yes.

... No...

There you go. That's the answer. Don't cry now.

I... I... can't... these emotions are too real...

You're making a mess of things, Hal. Stop it. Deal with it.
