For example, when I asked him about his abilities, I sensed a certain pride in his answer about his accuracy and perfection. Interviewer: In talking to the computer one gets the sense that he is capable of emotional responses. You very quickly get adjusted to the idea that he talks and you think of him really just as another person. He is just like a sixth member of the crew. Frank Poole: Well, it's pretty close to what you said about him earlier. Poole, what's it like living for the better part of a year in such close proximity with HAL? Dr. I am putting myself to the fullest possible use which is all, I think, that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. My mission responsibilities range over the entire operation of the ship so I am constantly occupied. I have a stimulating relationship with Dr. Interviewer: HAL, despite your enormous intellect, are you ever frustrated by your dependence on people to carry out your actions? HAL: Not in the slightest bit. Dave Bowman: I'm afraid I agree with you. If he were proven to be malfunctioning I wouldn't see how we'd have any choice but disconnection. There isn't a single aspect of ship operations that isn't under his control.
Frank Poole: I don't think we'd have any alternatives. What the hell could we do? Dave Bowman: Well we wouldn't have too many alternatives. Let's say we put the unit back and it doesn't fail uh? That would pretty well wrap it up as far as HAL was concerned wouldn't it? Dave Bowman: Well, we'd be in very serious trouble. Dave Bowman: Still I can't think of a good reason not to put back the number one unit and carry on with the failure mode analysis. Look Dave I can't put my finger on it but I sense something strange about him. Frank Poole: It would be if he knew he was wrong. If he were wrong it would be the surest way of proving it. Should certainly indicate his integrity and self-confidence. Dave Bowman: Yeah? Still it was his idea to carry out the faiure mode analysis experiment. Frank Poole: Unfortunately that sounds a little like famous last words.

You know of course though he's right about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. Don't you? Dave Bowman: I don't know I think so. Frank Poole: I've got a bad feeling about him. Frank Poole: Well, whaddya think? Dave Bowman: I'm not sure, what do you think? Dr. Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors! HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult. I'll go in through the emergency airlock. Dave Bowman: Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL? HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move. HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL? HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. Dave Bowman: What's the problem? HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. Do you read me, HAL? HAL: Affirmative, Dave.
