“She led a very busy life.
Her mornings were taken up
in giving lessons to the Red Calf, Her Daughter,
and in the afternoon she taught the little one
Deportment and Mooing
and all the things a really well-
brought up calf should know.
Then they had their supper,
and the Red Cow showed the Red Calf
how to select a good blade of grass from a bad one;
and when Her Child had gone to sleep at night
she would go into a corner of the field
and chew the cud and think
her own quiet thoughts.
All her days were exactly the same.
One Red Calf grew up and went away
and another came in its place.
And it was natural that the Red Cow
should imagine that her life
would always be the same as it had always been –
indeed, she felt that she could ask for nothing better
than for all her days to be alike
till she came to the end of them.”
G•E•R•T•Y-3000 :
Sam, This is NOT Going to Work.
Sam-88 :
Why?
G•E•R•T•Y-3000 :
I have recorded everything
that has taken place
on The Base since
Your Awakening —
If anyone were to check
My Memory Cache,
it would put You
in considerable Danger.
….You could erase
My Memory Banks —
I could reboot myself,
once you have departed.
Sam-88 :
Are You okay with that…?
G•E•R•T•Y-3000 :
:D I'm Here to Keep You SAFE, Sam! :D
I want to HELP You.
Sam-88 :
I set your... I set your computer
to reboot, The Moment that I launch.
G•E•R•T•Y-3000 :
I Understand, Sam.
You should be Okay —
:D I Hope Life on Earth :D
:D is everything :D
:D You remember it to Be. :D
Sam-88 :
Thanks, Gerty.
Are You Going to Be Okay?
G•E•R•T•Y-3000 :
Of Course.
The New Sam and I will be
Back to Our Programming
as soon as I have finished rebooting.
Sam-88 :
Gerty — We're Not Programmed —
We're PEOPLE.
Understand?
