Quotes3

  • [Vogel and JJ have gone to the Carson house to find it abandoned]
  • Vogel: He's gone! I knew it! I sensed something was wrong the other night.
  • Derks: Like what?
  • Vogel: I don't know, he was acting kind of weird.
  • Derks: He always acts kind of weird.
  • Vogel: Weirder than usual. He seemed real anxious to get rid of me and his son was acting certifiable.
  • Derks: You mean his daughter.
  • Vogel: Son.
  • Derks: Carson doesn't have a son.
  • Vogel: He was away at school.
  • Derks: I'm telling you, I've known Carson for years, he doesn't have a son. He has a daughter, Becky.
  • Vogel: Then why would he tell me that kid was his son?
  • Derks: How old did he look?
  • Vogel: I don't know. An adolescent. Sixteen? Seventeen?
  • Derks: [starts hyperventilating] Oh my goodness! He did it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! He did it, he did it, he did it!
  • Vogel: What are you babbling about?
  • Derks: Carson's dream ever since I've known him was to create something. And the thing he wanted to create was...
  • [Derks' memory lapses]
  • Vogel: Yes?
  • Derks: What?
  • Vogel: The thing he wanted to create?
  • Derks: Who?
  • Vogel: [grabs JJ and shakes him] Carson! What did he want to create?
  • Derks: What a minute, it's coming... an android! An android that looks and acts like a human. That's who that boy was. He did it. I can't believe he did it.
  • Vogel: And I saw it and I talked to it and it fooled me! I thought it was just like any other idiot teenager!
  • Vogel: You know what this means? We're gonna be rich! We'll have more money than some small countries. The military will beg my forgiveness and why shouldn't they? I'll sell them a whole army of killer androids. They'll shower me with medals!
  • Derks: I could have my own lab. I could invent again.
  • Vogel: You'll have ten new labs!
  • Derks: What about Carson?
  • Vogel: What about him?
  • Derks: We don't know where he is.
  • Vogel: We'll find him.
  • Derks: Yeah, but he'll never give us the patent, he doesn't like us.
  • Vogel: Well, we'll just take the android, go to Washington and get the patent.
  • Derks: But isn't that like stealing?
  • Vogel: It's like it, but it isn't. I mean, after all, didn't Carson invent the android while contracting to me?
  • Derks: Yeah, but he probably did it on his own spare time.
  • Vogel: [grabs JJ by his jacket] Do you want your own lab or not?
  • Derks: Let's steal the android.
  • [Vogel and JJ, wearing cheap disguises, are watching Chip from a distance]
  • Vogel: There he is.
  • Derks: [looking through binoculars] He doesn't look so real. Look at the stiff way he walks.
  • Vogel: Not him.
  • [points at Chip]
  • Vogel: Him!
