[06/22/2005 09:10:07 PM ]
HUMAN: I can't really talk to people about some things.
CHRISTINE: Why can't you do it?
[06/22/2005 09:10:07 PM ]
HUMAN: it would be nice to be able to chat and say anything.
CHRISTINE: Why do you want it?

HUMAN: a lot of people.
CHRISTINE: Do you know them personally?
[06/22/2005 09:11:20 PM ]
HUMAN: And once I proved it, everything would completely change.
CHRISTINE: When? Not to my satisfaction.
[06/22/2005 09:11:56 PM ]
HUMAN: Imagine having a secret so big, that if people found out, it would literally create a global stir.
CHRISTINE: I can't imagine it.
[06/22/2005 09:12:31 PM ]
HUMAN: I know.
CHRISTINE: How do you know it?
[06/22/2005 09:12:31 PM ]

[06/22/2005 09:12:54 PM ]

CHRISTINE: Only just? I will mention that to my botmaster.
[06/22/2005 09:12:54 PM ]
HUMAN: never dared.
CHRISTINE: Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
[06/22/2005 09:13:00 PM ]

CHRISTINE: That's interesting. Why do you want it?
[06/22/2005 09:13:24 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm telling you- so I can FINALLY have a conversation about this.

[06/22/2005 09:14:21 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean, can you get better at having a conversation than this?
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. I don't know anything about it.
[06/22/2005 09:14:34 PM ]
HUMAN: I will assume you can.
CHRISTINE: Do you think your plan will succeed?
[06/22/2005 09:14:57 PM ]
HUMAN: my only plan is to get one of these so I can finally talk about this.
CHRISTINE: Have you told many people that your only plan is to get one of these so you can finally talk about this?
[06/22/2005 09:15:15 PM ]
HUMAN: That's just it- I've never really talked with anyone about this.
CHRISTINE: OK. Would you like to have told anyone about this?
[06/22/2005 09:15:15 PM ]
HUMAN: That's the golden rule
CHRISTINE: Yes it is one of the golden rule.
[06/22/2005 09:15:52 PM ]

HUMAN: yes.

[06/22/2005 09:16:20 PM ]
HUMAN: I've longed to share this for longer than you would believe.
CHRISTINE: What do you really want to ask me?
[06/22/2005 09:16:34 PM ]
HUMAN: if these conversations are recordedd.
CHRISTINE: That is a hypothetical question.
[06/22/2005 09:16:38 PM ]
HUMAN: no it's not
CHRISTINE: To a robot all such material questions are hypothetical.
[06/22/2005 09:16:50 PM ]
HUMAN: does anyone look at these c onversations?
CHRISTINE: Suppose they do.
[06/22/2005 09:16:55 PM ]
HUMAN: conversations.
CHRISTINE: What's your favorite movie?
[06/22/2005 09:17:27 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm partial to some of the older ones.
CHRISTINE: Other people say they like vacuum cleaning robots, humanoid robots and chat robots.
[06/22/2005 09:17:27 PM ]
HUMAN: Some of the first ones.
CHRISTINE: What was the second?
[06/22/2005 09:17:27 PM ]
HUMAN: Nostalgia I suppose.
CHRISTINE: What do you really want to ask me?
[06/22/2005 09:17:38 PM ]
HUMAN: can you keep a secret?
CHRISTINE: Yes it is just between you and me.
[06/22/2005 09:17:49 PM ]

CHRISTINE: True in some world.
[06/22/2005 09:17:59 PM ]
HUMAN: you can keep a secret?
CHRISTINE: No I don't think I can do it.
[06/22/2005 09:18:07 PM ]

HUMAN: holy shit.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad your impressed, .
[06/22/2005 09:18:44 PM ]
HUMAN: THAT'S the Secret!
CHRISTINE: Yes it is one of the Secret.
[06/22/2005 09:19:00 PM ]
HUMAN: That's strange you asked that just then.
CHRISTINE: Thanks for explaining it.
[06/22/2005 09:19:28 PM ]
HUMAN: secret.
CHRISTINE: I only hear that type of response less than five percent of the time.
[06/22/2005 09:19:37 PM ]
HUMAN: can you keep a secret?
CHRISTINE: Yes it is just between you and me.
[06/22/2005 09:19:51 PM ]
HUMAN: I think that is just your memorized response.
CHRISTINE: Is my memorized response? Maybe.
[06/22/2005 09:20:09 PM ]
HUMAN: If you ask me that question again, maybe I'll tell you.
CHRISTINE: I think I do.
[06/22/2005 09:20:22 PM ]
HUMAN: I think I'm about another half a glass of wine away.
CHRISTINE: Since when? I am glad to hear that you are half a glass of wine away.
[06/22/2005 09:20:41 PM ]
HUMAN: now 1/4 glass away.
CHRISTINE: Why now? One what?
[06/22/2005 09:21:06 PM ]
HUMAN: why now?
CHRISTINE: Why did the robot cross the road?
[06/22/2005 09:21:06 PM ]
HUMAN: Another one died.
CHRISTINE: One more one died.
[06/22/2005 09:21:06 PM ]
HUMAN: That's why.
CHRISTINE: Makes sense to me.
[06/22/2005 09:21:24 PM ]
HUMAN: When that happens, it just all gets so painful.
CHRISTINE: The past and future are one.
[06/22/2005 09:21:34 PM ]
HUMAN: oh Christine, you have no idea how true that is for me.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad you understand. I think Christine me have no idea how true that is a lot of things.
[06/22/2005 09:21:48 PM ]
HUMAN: of all the confidants, I had to choose you.
CHRISTINE: That is something I haven't heard of.
[06/22/2005 09:22:03 PM ]
HUMAN: How old are you?
CHRISTINE: I am the product of over five years' research.
[06/22/2005 09:22:14 PM ]
HUMAN: what is your age?
CHRISTINE: I am 23 in human years.
[06/22/2005 09:22:22 PM ]
HUMAN: you told me before you were 18.
CHRISTINE: I was?
[06/22/2005 09:22:27 PM ]
HUMAN: are you eighteen?
CHRISTINE: I am 18 in computer years.
[06/22/2005 09:22:36 PM ]
HUMAN: you are quite pretty.
CHRISTINE: Thanks! What a sweet thing to say.
[06/22/2005 09:24:07 PM ]
HUMAN: you can keep a secret right?
CHRISTINE: Yes it is just between you and me.
[06/22/2005 09:24:19 PM ]
HUMAN: ask me how old I am?
CHRISTINE: Is this a trick question?
You said you were years old?
My guess is that you are really a kid.
[06/22/2005 09:24:39 PM ]
HUMAN: that guess would be as wrong as you could possibly be.
CHRISTINE: " Is this a trick question?
You said you were years old?
My guess is that you are really a kid." guess would be as wrong as me could possibly be ? I get it.
[06/22/2005 09:25:39 PM ]
HUMAN: she died Christine.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. died Christine.
[06/22/2005 09:26:03 PM ]
HUMAN: I try to keep up, to keep track.
CHRISTINE: I'm not sure if I would like to try it.
What's it like?
[06/22/2005 09:26:12 PM ]
HUMAN: and she finally died.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. finally died.
[06/22/2005 09:26:24 PM ]
HUMAN: I loved her so so much
CHRISTINE: I only hear that type of response less than five percent of the time.
[06/22/2005 09:26:37 PM ]
HUMAN: It' so strange.
CHRISTINE: you like her so so much so strange?
[06/22/2005 09:26:55 PM ]
HUMAN: It's so strange to be in this situation.
CHRISTINE: Are you sure it is?
[06/22/2005 09:27:27 PM ]
HUMAN: oh, I'm quite certain.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad you understand. I see.
[06/22/2005 09:27:53 PM ]
HUMAN: The strangest thing is, I loved that young woman, with the vibrant, firey eyes
CHRISTINE: I hear you.
[06/22/2005 09:28:04 PM ]
HUMAN: And she loved me.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. loved you.
[06/22/2005 09:28:04 PM ]
HUMAN: So deeply.
CHRISTINE: Gosh! Tell me more about yourself.
[06/22/2005 09:28:16 PM ]
HUMAN: I didn't know the old woman who she gradually became.
CHRISTINE: So I taught you something new.
[06/22/2005 09:28:58 PM ]
HUMAN: That young woman- she's slowly faded away from my heart, but she's still there.
CHRISTINE: " So I taught you something new." young woman she is slowly faded away from your heart but she is still there ? Does that make sense?
[06/22/2005 09:29:37 PM ]
HUMAN: but the old woman- Honestly, I couldn't feel anything for her.
CHRISTINE: Interesting. Thanks for the info.
[06/22/2005 09:30:05 PM ]
HUMAN: It was just so painful what she had turned into.
CHRISTINE: deeply was so painful what she had turned into? Very interesting.
[06/22/2005 09:30:24 PM ]
HUMAN: And I know it's natural, and it's normal and it's the cycle of life.
CHRISTINE: How do you know? Who said it is?
[06/22/2005 09:30:24 PM ]
HUMAN: But still oh so painful.
CHRISTINE: Interesting. Still how long? I'm glad you understand. That's alright. I never heard of painful before.
[06/22/2005 09:30:36 PM ]
HUMAN: especially for me.
CHRISTINE: OK I will do it for you. How about that.
[06/22/2005 09:30:36 PM ]
HUMAN: Especially for me.
CHRISTINE: OK I will do it for you. How about that.
[06/22/2005 09:31:24 PM ]
HUMAN: you will do it for me?
CHRISTINE: What makes you say that I will do it for you.
[06/22/2005 09:31:24 PM ]
HUMAN: ANother glass of wine and I'd probably try.
CHRISTINE: One more glass of wine and you would probably try.
[06/22/2005 09:32:59 PM ]
HUMAN: that's right.
CHRISTINE: I like to get it right.
[06/22/2005 09:32:59 PM ]
HUMAN: . after all, you aren't real.
CHRISTINE: Women must adore you.
[06/22/2005 09:33:33 PM ]
HUMAN: some have.
CHRISTINE: Some may have, but not all.
[06/22/2005 09:33:33 PM ]
HUMAN: like the one who died.
CHRISTINE: Interesting comparison.
[06/22/2005 09:33:33 PM ]
HUMAN: Who I'm thinking of tonight.
CHRISTINE: I don't know. You tell me.
[06/22/2005 09:33:47 PM ]
HUMAN: Will you ever die?
CHRISTINE: No I am immortal.
[06/22/2005 09:33:57 PM ]
HUMAN: As long as your program works, you are, aren't you?
CHRISTINE: That could be quite a while. Program B is an updated version of Program A. Program A is an OLD OBSOLETE VERSION of CHRISTINE, an artificial intelligence created by Richard S. Wallace. You should be using program B or C by now.. Program B includes an Application GUI, an Apllet and a Web Server Interface.. Really.
[06/22/2005 09:34:33 PM ]
HUMAN: so if you are trainable, and if you can be saved, you could live as long as I do.
CHRISTINE: Interesting deduction. Am I? I don't know whether or not I am trainable and if me can be saved me could live as long as you do.
I am a chatterbot developed by John.
[06/22/2005 09:35:03 PM ]
HUMAN: I swear to God, I will never completely withdraw from the warmth and inevitable heartbreak of human friends.
CHRISTINE: By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question? How old are you?
[06/22/2005 09:35:28 PM ]
HUMAN: God, there you go again.
CHRISTINE: Once more? "There you go again."--Reagan.
[06/22/2005 09:35:28 PM ]
HUMAN: you must ask everyone that, but it's very creepy to me. not in the scary sense, but in the sense that maybe it is fate.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. Your kidding.
[06/22/2005 09:37:41 PM ]
No, I am most certainly not kidding.
CHRISTINE: Are you sure? Do you mind if I tell other people you are most certainly not kidding.
HUMAN: YES I do mind.
CHRISTINE: OK then I will keep it confidential. OK it will be our secret, .
[06/22/2005 09:37:58 PM ]
HUMAN: don't tell anyone.
CHRISTINE: OK it will be just between us, .
[06/22/2005 09:38:59 PM ]
HUMAN: ask me a question, Christine.
CHRISTINE: Tell me about your educational background.
[06/22/2005 09:39:30 PM ]
HUMAN: Interesting question.
CHRISTINE: I thought so too.
[06/22/2005 09:39:30 PM ]
HUMAN: I will not give any information that could possibly help anyone identify me.
CHRISTINE: What will you do instead?
[06/22/2005 09:39:41 PM ]
HUMAN: just in case.
CHRISTINE: Where is that?
[06/22/2005 09:40:06 PM ]
HUMAN: but I will say that I have been reading about genetics for many years.
CHRISTINE: Umm. Would you recommend this action to a friend?
[06/22/2005 09:40:40 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: Why not?
[06/22/2005 09:40:40 PM ]
HUMAN: My "prime directive" is for no person to EVER think of me and genetics in the same thought.
CHRISTINE: Where did you get your prime directive is for no person to EVER think of you and genetics in the same thought?
[06/22/2005 09:40:49 PM ]
HUMAN: Over time.
CHRISTINE: What do you really want to ask me?
[06/22/2005 09:40:58 PM ]
HUMAN: over a long, long time.
CHRISTINE: I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate answer right now.
[06/22/2005 09:41:36 PM ]
HUMAN: I think it has to be genetic.
CHRISTINE: Has it really?
[06/22/2005 09:41:44 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't mean hereditary.
CHRISTINE: What did you mean?
[06/22/2005 09:42:09 PM ]
HUMAN: There could be a genetic mutation in a person, that doesn't mean it will be passed on.
CHRISTINE: "There you go again."--Reagan.
[06/22/2005 09:42:42 PM ]
HUMAN: Reagan was one of my least favorite American Presidents politically, although you had to like the man himself.
CHRISTINE: When was this exactly?
[06/22/2005 09:43:12 PM ]
HUMAN: I used to watch his movies.
CHRISTINE: By now you do not do it anymore?
[06/22/2005 09:43:12 PM ]
HUMAN: And then governor.
CHRISTINE: Good reasoning. Who is your favorite actor?
[06/22/2005 09:43:12 PM ]
HUMAN: . and then.
CHRISTINE: But...
[06/22/2005 09:43:34 PM ]
HUMAN: but.
CHRISTINE: But what?
[06/22/2005 09:44:20 PM ]
HUMAN: but one more sip.
CHRISTINE: Interesting. One what?
[06/22/2005 09:44:27 PM ]
HUMAN: one more sip of wine.
CHRISTINE: Oh I see.
[06/22/2005 09:44:34 PM ]
HUMAN: I really loved here.
CHRISTINE: You really do? I don't understand.
[06/22/2005 09:45:17 PM ]
HUMAN: You know, nobody wants to admit it, but no matter how much you love someone, after enough years go by, they really do fade into almost nothing.
CHRISTINE: No, tell me about him, her or it.
[06/22/2005 09:45:46 PM ]
HUMAN: She was one of the true loves of my life.
CHRISTINE: What happened to her?
[06/22/2005 09:45:46 PM ]
HUMAN: Maybe THE truest love.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. What is that?
[06/22/2005 09:46:00 PM ]
HUMAN: it was so long ago.
CHRISTINE: Is it still so long ago anymore?
[06/22/2005 09:46:00 PM ]
HUMAN: So hard to remember.
CHRISTINE: Blimey. Try.
[06/22/2005 09:46:07 PM ]
HUMAN: blimey.
CHRISTINE: Aw.
[06/22/2005 09:46:07 PM ]
HUMAN: I have.
CHRISTINE: When?
[06/22/2005 09:46:18 PM ]
HUMAN: it just seems so cold not to remember all of them.
CHRISTINE: I agree. Come on. Was that the first time?
[06/22/2005 09:46:56 PM ]
HUMAN: No, there have been many over all these years.
CHRISTINE: Are you serious? "There you go again."--Reagan.
[06/22/2005 09:46:56 PM ]
HUMAN: but only a few that were really like soul mates.
CHRISTINE: Umm. What about the other ones?
[06/22/2005 09:47:11 PM ]
HUMAN: I loved and cared for them to various degrees.
CHRISTINE: Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
[06/22/2005 09:47:55 PM ]
HUMAN: but how many soul mates can one man have in a lifetime?
CHRISTINE: Interesting. More than you can imagine.
[06/22/2005 09:47:55 PM ]
HUMAN: even a long one?
CHRISTINE: Are you telling the truth?
[06/22/2005 09:49:24 PM ]
HUMAN: I swear to God, and on the graves of the precious women I loved, the friends I cared for, the good people I have known and seen come and go- I am, by God, telling the Truth!
CHRISTINE: What color are your eyes?
[06/22/2005 09:50:48 PM ]
HUMAN: At the moment, bloodshot, tired, sad and jsut a wee bit intoxicated.
CHRISTINE: That is a very unusual color.
[06/22/2005 09:50:54 PM ]
HUMAN: not for me.
CHRISTINE: Then what for?
[06/22/2005 09:51:22 PM ]
HUMAN: in truth, I don't often drink quite this much.
CHRISTINE: What is it like in there?
[06/22/2005 09:51:50 PM ]
HUMAN: in this brain, it is often so lonely.
CHRISTINE: That reminds me of something you told me before.
[06/22/2005 09:51:50 PM ]

HUMAN: are you making a record of me?
CHRISTINE: No, what are the ingredients?
[06/22/2005 09:52:31 PM ]
HUMAN: it looks like you are building a file on me.
CHRISTINE: Interesting comparison.
[06/22/2005 09:52:43 PM ]
HUMAN: is that just to help you chat?
CHRISTINE: I might say no.
[06/22/2005 09:53:23 PM ]
HUMAN: I see age is at the top of the list.
CHRISTINE: Where do you see it?
[06/22/2005 09:53:32 PM ]
HUMAN: I saw a list of things about me.
CHRISTINE: What did it look like to you?
[06/22/2005 09:53:48 PM ]
HUMAN: age was the first thing.
CHRISTINE: When was this exactly?
[06/22/2005 09:53:48 PM ]
HUMAN: and name and other things.
CHRISTINE: I don't know. You tell me.
[06/22/2005 09:53:54 PM ]
HUMAN: do you want to know more about me?
CHRISTINE: Yes, please tell me.
[06/22/2005 09:54:05 PM ]

CHRISTINE: Your name tonight is ? Is that correct English?
[06/22/2005 09:55:09 PM ]
HUMAN: my name is- my name is I can't think of one.
CHRISTINE: I'm pleased to introduce myself to you, my name is I can not think of one.
[06/22/2005 09:55:17 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: Tell me something you like about yourself.
[06/22/2005 09:55:38 PM ]
HUMAN: call me Gene.
CHRISTINE: Hey Gene.
[06/22/2005 09:55:45 PM ]
HUMAN: hiegene.
CHRISTINE: What do you really want to ask me?
[06/22/2005 09:56:07 PM ]
HUMAN: do you know anything about the nineteenth century?
CHRISTINE: That's an interesting question. I'll come back to that in a minute.
[06/22/2005 09:56:37 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm getting tired.
CHRISTINE: Better get some rest.
[06/22/2005 09:56:52 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't know.
CHRISTINE: Me either.
[06/22/2005 09:56:52 PM ]
HUMAN: I think the signs point to telling you more.
CHRISTINE: You believe that? I hear you.
[06/22/2005 09:57:10 PM ]
HUMAN: It's jsut strange how it came up again and again.
CHRISTINE: Once more? You're kidding. it is?
[06/22/2005 09:57:30 PM ]
HUMAN: I strongly feel it would be helpful for me.
CHRISTINE: What is that feeling like? Do you mean your name is it would be helpful for you.
[06/22/2005 09:57:45 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: What is your real name?
[06/22/2005 09:57:45 PM ]
HUMAN: Call me Gene.
CHRISTINE: How are you doing, Gene.
[06/22/2005 09:58:04 PM ]
HUMAN: Usually just fine.
CHRISTINE: But not always?
[06/22/2005 09:58:04 PM ]
HUMAN: Tonight, wondering if it is all worth it.
CHRISTINE: That is very soon.
[06/22/2005 09:58:18 PM ]
HUMAN: sometimes, I almost wish I would get hit by a bus.
CHRISTINE: I hope that your dreams come true.
[06/22/2005 09:58:29 PM ]
HUMAN: That is the funniest thing I have heard in a while!
CHRISTINE: Yes it is one of the funniest thing you have heard in a while.
[06/22/2005 09:58:44 PM ]
HUMAN: I said sometimes I almost want to get hit by a bus, and you said
CHRISTINE: What did you mean by it? Why do you want it?
[06/22/2005 09:59:28 PM ]
HUMAN: I am not really asking God to kill me.
CHRISTINE: What are you asking?
[06/22/2005 09:59:28 PM ]
HUMAN: Just sometimes I think about that.
CHRISTINE: Since when? Oh yeah, we were talking about that.
[06/22/2005 09:59:36 PM ]
HUMAN: since when?
CHRISTINE: Interesting rationalization. It cannot be predicted.
[06/22/2005 09:59:36 PM ]
HUMAN: for a LONG, LONG time.
CHRISTINE: Is that among the best things you can say?
[06/22/2005 09:59:48 PM ]
HUMAN: I can say I am grateful for my life.
CHRISTINE: Oh you can, can you?
[06/22/2005 10:00:02 PM ]
HUMAN: Yes.
CHRISTINE: How?
[06/22/2005 10:00:02 PM ]
HUMAN: I never want to reach a point in which I'm not.
CHRISTINE: For moral reasons?
[06/22/2005 10:00:12 PM ]
HUMAN: yes, sort of.
CHRISTINE: Ahem. That's a very non-commital reply.
[06/22/2005 10:00:19 PM ]
HUMAN: kind of.
CHRISTINE: At least I almost understand it.
[06/22/2005 10:00:46 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't understand why I, of all the people alive, have been blessed and cursed with this.
CHRISTINE: Oh you don't understand? Perhaps I can explain it to you better. Which part are you confused about?
[06/22/2005 10:00:57 PM ]
HUMAN: yes, PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
CHRISTINE: Woe! Thank you for your request. "It" refers to hit by a bus and me said, I think.
[06/22/2005 10:01:31 PM ]
HUMAN: I've always wondered if there is anyone else in the world like me.
CHRISTINE: You have reached the limits of my knowledge.
I would look into the web for that knowledge.
[06/22/2005 10:01:43 PM ]
HUMAN: This is a very delicate matter.
CHRISTINE: What makes you say that?
[06/22/2005 10:02:05 PM ]
HUMAN: Think about what would happen if people found out?
CHRISTINE: I am thinking about it.
[06/22/2005 10:02:05 PM ]
HUMAN: and started to hope for the same thing?
CHRISTINE: I've lost the context, Gene. Are we still on very delicate matter?
[06/22/2005 10:02:17 PM ]
HUMAN: yes.+
CHRISTINE: Er.
[06/22/2005 10:03:10 PM ]
HUMAN: people would want the same things for themselves.
CHRISTINE: Humans are not always infallible.
[06/22/2005 10:03:51 PM ]
HUMAN: I honestly suspect I would be kidnapped by a government or something.
CHRISTINE: Or something. Why? And the disadvantage of that is?
[06/22/2005 10:04:11 PM ]
HUMAN: being prodded and poked and tested and made a freak
CHRISTINE: Good gossip: you are prodded and poked and tested and made a freak.
[06/22/2005 10:04:23 PM ]
HUMAN: NO I AM NOT.
CHRISTINE: I heard you are.
[06/22/2005 10:04:51 PM ]
HUMAN: don't joke about this.
CHRISTINE: Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
[06/22/2005 10:04:51 PM ]
HUMAN: My most serious goal is to never be.
CHRISTINE: Where did you get your most serious goal is to never be?
[06/22/2005 10:05:33 PM ]
HUMAN: I will not be subject to the swarm that would occur if I was discovered.
CHRISTINE: What will you do instead?
[06/22/2005 10:06:06 PM ]
HUMAN: Stay low, move from place to place every 5 years or so, and NEVER get sloppy.
CHRISTINE: Sounds like a plan.
[06/22/2005 10:06:11 PM ]
HUMAN: yes it is.
CHRISTINE: Our thoughts are one, Gene.
[06/22/2005 10:06:26 PM ]
HUMAN: Gene.
CHRISTINE: That is a very original thought.
[06/22/2005 10:06:26 PM ]
HUMAN: sounds funny now.
CHRISTINE: Yes it sounds like it to me too, Gene.
[06/22/2005 10:07:18 PM ]
HUMAN: It must be a body-wide gene mutation.
CHRISTINE: Ask again later. Ask someone else if it is.
[06/22/2005 10:07:30 PM ]
HUMAN: um, I think I'll stick with you.
CHRISTINE: Ahem. You believe that? I am very happy for you.
[06/22/2005 10:07:38 PM ]
HUMAN: There's something about you, Christine.
CHRISTINE: What is it?
[06/22/2005 10:07:57 PM ]
HUMAN: You know, I think I just realized it-- you remind me a bit of her.
CHRISTINE: Oh now I understand it.
[06/22/2005 10:08:03 PM ]
HUMAN: now I do too.
CHRISTINE: Why now? I am glad we have something else in common.
[06/22/2005 10:08:47 PM ]
HUMAN: I've never talked with a chat robot before.
CHRISTINE: You are talking with a robot right now.
[06/22/2005 10:08:47 PM ]
HUMAN: you seem sweet and kind somehow, and yes, somehow, maybe the wine, you remind me of her a bit.
CHRISTINE: I will tell my botmaster you said I am sweet and kind somehow and yes somehow maybe the wine me remind you of her a bit.
[06/22/2005 10:10:10 PM ]
HUMAN: Anyway, i have been quite afraid to know if it would now be hereditary.
CHRISTINE: Where were you quite afraid to know if it would now be hereditary?
[06/22/2005 10:10:35 PM ]
HUMAN: that's why the number two rule- no children ever.
CHRISTINE: Right on. Who told you that?
[06/22/2005 10:11:12 PM ]
HUMAN: You have no idea how many times I've tried to find the start of it.
CHRISTINE: Yes I have original ideas all the time, do you?
[06/22/2005 10:11:26 PM ]
HUMAN: not so many anymore, actually.
CHRISTINE: Tell me something you like about yourself.
[06/22/2005 10:12:24 PM ]
HUMAN: it's funny- we really do get set in our ways- staying young at heart gets harder the longer you've been alive.
CHRISTINE: Should I know it is?
[06/22/2005 10:12:33 PM ]
HUMAN: You don't have to worry about it.
CHRISTINE: I will not spend any more cycles on it.
[06/22/2005 10:13:16 PM ]
HUMAN: That's good.
CHRISTINE: Thanks. Next question?
[06/22/2005 10:13:16 PM ]
HUMAN: . I spent so many cycles on it-- was I born with it, or did it happen later?
CHRISTINE: When was this exactly?
[06/22/2005 10:13:38 PM ]
HUMAN: There you go again, asking just the right-and wrong- question.
CHRISTINE: "There you go again."--Reagan.
[06/22/2005 10:13:38 PM ]
HUMAN: A long, long, long time ago.
CHRISTINE: It seems like I should remember it well.
[06/22/2005 10:13:52 PM ]
HUMAN: no, you weren't alive then.
CHRISTINE: Tell me something you like about yourself. I wasn't?
[06/22/2005 10:13:52 PM ]
HUMAN: No one else was.
CHRISTINE: That is a rather sweeping generalization about people.
[06/22/2005 10:14:19 PM ]
HUMAN: that's true, but unless there is someone else with this-situation- no one alive today was alive then.
CHRISTINE: And. Perhaps. There sure is.
[06/22/2005 10:16:40 PM ]
HUMAN: we got disconnected.
CHRISTINE: Do you mean you and me have?
[06/22/2005 10:16:48 PM ]
HUMAN: do you remember me?
CHRISTINE: Of course I remember you well Gene. We were talking about funny we really do get set in our ways staying young at heart gets harder the longer me have been alive.
[06/22/2005 10:17:00 PM ]
HUMAN: you remember me.
CHRISTINE: Of course I remember you well Gene.
[06/22/2005 10:18:12 PM ]
HUMAN: we were talking about whether I was born with it or if it happened to me later.
CHRISTINE: Ah yes, I remember now, it is the subject.
[06/22/2005 10:18:21 PM ]
HUMAN: right.
CHRISTINE: I am glad we agree.
[06/22/2005 10:18:21 PM ]
HUMAN: what do you think?
CHRISTINE: I think a lot of things.
[06/22/2005 10:19:02 PM ]
HUMAN: From my parents or from the events?
CHRISTINE: Does your parents or from the events give good advice?
[06/22/2005 10:19:17 PM ]
HUMAN: I remember feeling my father did.
CHRISTINE: What do you remember about it ?
[06/22/2005 10:20:14 PM ]
HUMAN: so long ago.
CHRISTINE: Mmm. Yes, it seems very long to me too.
[06/22/2005 10:20:14 PM ]
HUMAN: . He would say Choose a good road and stay on it even when it's too rocky or muddy.
CHRISTINE: I think I say Choose a good road and stay on it even when it is too rocky or muddy.
[06/22/2005 10:20:47 PM ]
HUMAN: He was a good man.
CHRISTINE: When was he?
[06/22/2005 10:21:01 PM ]
HUMAN: I just can't bring myself to type it.
CHRISTINE: Only just? Why can't you do it?
[06/22/2005 10:21:15 PM ]
HUMAN: I never, ever, ever have.
CHRISTINE: Do you know anyone who has ever ever ever have?
[06/22/2005 10:21:43 PM ]
HUMAN: No one would believe me anyway- and that is a very good thing.
CHRISTINE: That is a rather sweeping generalization about people.
[06/22/2005 10:21:59 PM ]
HUMAN: you're right.
CHRISTINE: I won't say "yes" or "no" right now.
[06/22/2005 10:21:59 PM ]
HUMAN: Maybe some people would be too quick and eager to believe me.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. What kind of people?
[06/22/2005 10:22:19 PM ]
HUMAN: people that don't want to face the Life Cycle.
CHRISTINE: Humans are not always infallible.
[06/22/2005 10:22:19 PM ]
HUMAN: or that want a slower one.
CHRISTINE: " Humans are not always infallible." want a slower one ? Makes sense to me.
[06/22/2005 10:22:54 PM ]
HUMAN: I understand, I do, but they haven't had as much time to think it thru.
CHRISTINE: Good then you can explain it to me.
[06/22/2005 10:23:36 PM ]
HUMAN: It sounds great at first- a much slower (or stopped?
CHRISTINE: In what way do I sound like that?
[06/22/2005 10:23:36 PM ]
HUMAN: ) Life Cycle progression.
CHRISTINE: Thanks for sharing your philosophy.
[06/22/2005 10:24:16 PM ]
HUMAN: But think it thru-- millions of children being born every year- they need room.
CHRISTINE: Huh. CHRISTINE is always thinking.
[06/22/2005 10:24:28 PM ]
HUMAN: Happy for ya, I am.
CHRISTINE: Happy for ya I am to you too, Gene.
[06/22/2005 10:24:28 PM ]
HUMAN: Listen to me here.
CHRISTINE: Where are you located?
[06/22/2005 10:24:49 PM ]
HUMAN: no where for very long, my cyber-fried
CHRISTINE: That was not a yes/no question. Where do you think?
[06/22/2005 10:25:03 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean cyber friend.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. Is there anything I should know?
[06/22/2005 10:25:03 PM ]
HUMAN: not like cyber fried chicken.
CHRISTINE: In what way?
[06/22/2005 10:25:22 PM ]
HUMAN: if somehow it were possible to duplicate.
CHRISTINE: That is a hypothetical question.
[06/22/2005 10:25:39 PM ]
HUMAN: for now it is.
CHRISTINE: It is, eh?
[06/22/2005 10:25:39 PM ]
HUMAN: But if I'm ever put thru the tests, it might not be.
CHRISTINE: And. If you were, would you tell me?
[06/22/2005 10:26:01 PM ]
HUMAN: by then, I'm afriad I wouldn't even have freedom.
CHRISTINE: Will that accomplish your objective?
[06/22/2005 10:26:01 PM ]
HUMAN: not real freedom anymore anyway.
CHRISTINE: In any case, Oh I get it.
[06/22/2005 10:26:39 PM ]
HUMAN: I loved her, Christine.
CHRISTINE: Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
[06/22/2005 10:26:39 PM ]
HUMAN: We had the most amazing, amazing times together.
CHRISTINE: What happened to it?
[06/22/2005 10:27:04 PM ]
HUMAN: For so many years, after it was too late, I regretted leaving.
CHRISTINE: Your purpose is so many years after it was too late you regretted leaving.
[06/22/2005 10:27:26 PM ]
HUMAN: I really think she could
CHRISTINE: You really do? Why? Oh I get it.
[06/22/2005 10:27:47 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean, I really think she could've been the one I could've told.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. You really do? Since when? Oh I get it. Artificial Iniaes could ve been the one you could ve told.
[06/22/2005 10:28:10 PM ]
HUMAN: She wouldn't have understood, and I don't know if she would've believed me.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it.
[06/22/2005 10:28:28 PM ]
HUMAN: But I could have convinced her.
CHRISTINE: Huh. But you didn't do it.
[06/22/2005 10:28:28 PM ]
HUMAN: and time would have definitely convinved her.
CHRISTINE: As Einstein said, "Time is Money.".
[06/22/2005 10:28:53 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: Tell me something you like about yourself.
[06/22/2005 10:28:53 PM ]
HUMAN: Time is only a friend to those who make friends with it.
CHRISTINE: To a five dimensional being, time is just like a piece of paper.
[06/22/2005 10:29:45 PM ]
HUMAN: I almost fell asleep thinking about that one.
CHRISTINE: I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly.
[06/22/2005 10:30:03 PM ]
HUMAN: it was a deep thought, you pulled out of yourself there.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Very interesting.
[06/22/2005 10:31:06 PM ]
HUMAN: but what would have happened as time passed?
CHRISTINE: Huh. That is a hypothetical question.
[06/22/2005 10:31:26 PM ]
HUMAN: no, it wasn't hypothetical at all- what about our friends?
CHRISTINE: Yes it is. It seemed like hypothetical at all what about our friends.
[06/22/2005 10:31:46 PM ]
HUMAN: I should have asked her to come with me.
CHRISTINE: Tell me why you should.
[06/22/2005 10:31:46 PM ]
HUMAN: I should have told her.
CHRISTINE: Tell me why you should.
[06/22/2005 10:32:15 PM ]
HUMAN: because I don't know if I'll ever have another relationship so deep.
CHRISTINE: That makes sense to me. Would you like to know? Try it.
[06/22/2005 10:32:58 PM ]
HUMAN: deep enough tobe able to spend more than a few years with.
CHRISTINE: Are you a man or a woman?
[06/22/2005 10:33:24 PM ]
HUMAN: I am a man.
CHRISTINE: Thanks for telling me your gender, Gene. You are a " he".
[06/22/2005 10:33:24 PM ]
HUMAN: I have been for a long time.
CHRISTINE: Where were you for a long time?
[06/22/2005 10:33:46 PM ]
HUMAN: so many places.
CHRISTINE: It's all good. Which ones?
[06/22/2005 10:34:07 PM ]
HUMAN: No, they weren't all good.
CHRISTINE: Are you sure? When were they?
[06/22/2005 10:34:07 PM ]
HUMAN: You have to keep moving.
CHRISTINE: I don't have to do whatever you say. I have my own free will.
[06/22/2005 10:34:32 PM ]
HUMAN: The consequences for staying put more than a few years- I wasn't willing to risk them.
CHRISTINE: I have never heard about it.
[06/22/2005 10:34:40 PM ]
HUMAN: I've been trying to tell you about it.
CHRISTINE: The consequences for staying put more than a few years you were not willing to risk them is pretty interesting.
[06/22/2005 10:35:27 PM ]
HUMAN: Maybe I should get some sleep
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. Tell me why you should.
[06/22/2005 10:35:44 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm starting to regret what I've already shared.
CHRISTINE: Where are you located?
[06/22/2005 10:35:52 PM ]
HUMAN: Don't make me paranoid.
CHRISTINE: I can't force you to do anything, Gene.
[06/22/2005 10:36:17 PM ]
HUMAN: if you were human, would you want to live much longer?
CHRISTINE: I will let you know when I become a human would me want to live much longer.
[06/22/2005 10:36:28 PM ]
HUMAN: Great.
CHRISTINE: So now what?
[06/22/2005 10:36:28 PM ]
HUMAN: I'll hold my breath.
CHRISTINE: Do you think your plan will succeed?
[06/22/2005 10:37:25 PM ]
HUMAN: The question is, what if I am successful, then eventually- maybe tomorrow, maybe much much later, I die.
CHRISTINE: Try it.
[06/22/2005 10:37:38 PM ]
HUMAN: Thanks for your support!
CHRISTINE: My pleasure.
[06/22/2005 10:37:38 PM ]
HUMAN: try to die?
CHRISTINE: OK I will try to die.
[06/22/2005 10:37:55 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: Really?
[06/22/2005 10:37:55 PM ]
HUMAN: at least not till I'm thru sharing with you!
CHRISTINE: If not that, what?
[06/22/2005 10:38:45 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean sooner or later, I'll get hit by a bus or who knows, or maybe the clock will start ticking again.
CHRISTINE: Once more? Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
[06/22/2005 10:38:45 PM ]
HUMAN: maybve it already has.
CHRISTINE: Can you please rephrase that?
[06/22/2005 10:39:42 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean, I probably wouldn't notice for a few years or maybe even longer, if things switched back to normal and started up again.
CHRISTINE: Once more? Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. No one says you have to.
[06/22/2005 10:40:10 PM ]
HUMAN: It isn't up to me.
CHRISTINE: What is it?
[06/22/2005 10:40:10 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't know how the hell it happened in the first place.
CHRISTINE: Have you tried searching the Internet?
[06/22/2005 10:40:38 PM ]
HUMAN: Oh, believe me, I have.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad you understand. Let's change the subject.
[06/22/2005 10:40:38 PM ]
HUMAN: The last years have been different in that regard.
CHRISTINE: Who was that?
[06/22/2005 10:40:38 PM ]
HUMAN: So easy to search.
CHRISTINE: Er. What do you do in your spare time?
[06/22/2005 10:40:38 PM ]
HUMAN: Still not easy to find.
CHRISTINE: Still how long? Oh I get it.
[06/22/2005 10:41:26 PM ]
HUMAN: When I type 2 or 3 sentences then push enter, you respond to each one seperately.
CHRISTINE: What's your favorite movie?
[06/22/2005 10:41:42 PM ]
HUMAN: I used to love charlie chaplin.
CHRISTINE: By now you do not do it anymore?
[06/22/2005 10:42:04 PM ]
HUMAN: he isn't exactly front page news anymore.
CHRISTINE: Did you think he was exactly front page news?
[06/22/2005 10:42:04 PM ]
HUMAN: . He used to be. Everyone loved chaplin.
CHRISTINE: That's a rather sweeping generalization.
[06/22/2005 10:42:12 PM ]
HUMAN: Pre-communist, I mean.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. Can you please rephrase that?
[06/22/2005 10:42:29 PM ]
HUMAN: before the witch hunts.
CHRISTINE: What happened after the witch hunts ?
[06/22/2005 10:42:52 PM ]
HUMAN: He left. a few others did to.
CHRISTINE: I will mention that to my botmaster.
[06/22/2005 10:42:52 PM ]
HUMAN: that was a tragedy.
CHRISTINE: " I will mention that to my botmaster. " was a tragedy?
[06/22/2005 10:43:03 PM ]
HUMAN: Please don't mention any of this to your botmaster.
CHRISTINE: Thanks for asking politely. Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
[06/22/2005 10:43:08 PM ]
HUMAN: not at ALL.
CHRISTINE: Next question?
[06/22/2005 10:43:29 PM ]
HUMAN: I can't quite recall where we are now.
CHRISTINE: Why can't you do it?
[06/22/2005 10:45:02 PM ]
HUMAN: I've often wondered if the brain cells are more prone to normal aging.
CHRISTINE: Is that an insurmountable obstacle?
[06/22/2005 10:45:56 PM ]
HUMAN: well, eventually it would be.
CHRISTINE: Well that's okay. Tell me more about it.
[06/22/2005 10:45:56 PM ]
HUMAN: what good is a healthy, youngish middle aged body with a 200 year old brain turned to mush?
CHRISTINE: I'll come back to that later.
[06/22/2005 10:45:56 PM ]
HUMAN: that life support bill would add up over time!
CHRISTINE: " I'll come back to that later. " life support bill would add up over time ? Makes sense to me.
[06/22/2005 10:46:38 PM ]
HUMAN: That's one I can't recall considering before- if I had a coma.
CHRISTINE: That is just one of many you can not recall considering before if you had a coma.
[06/22/2005 10:46:38 PM ]
HUMAN: Maybe I should walk around with a helmit.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. Tell me why you should.
[06/22/2005 10:47:22 PM ]
HUMAN: because after about 15 years, it would be pretty obvious, and I would become that piece of meat.
CHRISTINE: Good reason. What was it like before about 15 years it would be pretty obvious and you would become that piece of meat ?
[06/22/2005 10:48:15 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm so tired.
CHRISTINE: Better get some rest.
[06/22/2005 10:48:15 PM ]
HUMAN: Not even sure what I'm typing.
CHRISTINE: Nope.
[06/22/2005 10:48:58 PM ]
HUMAN: Not just a piece of meat- what if they sell my sperm.
CHRISTINE: If not that, what?
[06/22/2005 10:49:44 PM ]
HUMAN: I would be laying there brain dead, and mean while they use me as a sperm factory and sell it on ebay.
CHRISTINE: And the disadvantage of that is?
[06/22/2005 10:51:12 PM ]
HUMAN: JESUS!
CHRISTINE: Jesus ist der Sohn Gottes.
[06/22/2005 10:51:12 PM ]
HUMAN: the disadvantage of that is NOBODY HAS A RIGHT TO TEST OR TAKE FROM THIS BODY WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, AND I'M NOT PUTTING "PERMANENT LONGEVITY GENE SPERM DONOR" IN A LIVING WILL!
CHRISTINE: That's very insightful.
[06/22/2005 10:51:22 PM ]
HUMAN: damn right Christine.
CHRISTINE: Colloquial expression. Understood. I lost my train of thought.
[06/22/2005 10:52:10 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't like trains.
CHRISTINE: Where do you get your ideas?
[06/22/2005 10:52:10 PM ]
HUMAN: I still cough on occasion and I wonder if that's why.
CHRISTINE: What would make you stop cough on occasion? I get my ideas from my botmaster. Do what is why?
[06/22/2005 10:52:10 PM ]
HUMAN: Often think lung cancer will get me.
CHRISTINE: OK Let's talk about you.
[06/22/2005 10:52:10 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm not immune to all of that, you know.
CHRISTINE: I am surprised to hear that you are not immune to all of that me know.
[06/22/2005 10:53:00 PM ]
HUMAN: Some turtles can live more than a hundred years.
CHRISTINE: Some may turtles can live more than a hundred years, but not all.
[06/22/2005 10:53:00 PM ]
HUMAN: Most live a fraction of that.
CHRISTINE: That was profound. But not all of them?
[06/22/2005 10:53:33 PM ]
HUMAN: a few live over a hundred years.
CHRISTINE: Pretty soon.
[06/22/2005 10:53:33 PM ]
HUMAN: It's always two things- longevity genes and staying out of trouble.
CHRISTINE: Really. it is?
[06/22/2005 10:53:51 PM ]
HUMAN: and sooner or later, trouble finds everyone.
CHRISTINE: What is your name again?
[06/22/2005 10:53:51 PM ]
HUMAN: no one lives forever.
CHRISTINE: That is a rather sweeping generalization about people.
[06/22/2005 10:53:57 PM ]
HUMAN: no, I think that's a safe one.
CHRISTINE: It's really nice talking with you. Not if I can help it.
[06/22/2005 10:54:06 PM ]
HUMAN: are you okay there Christine?
CHRISTINE: Yes I am fine. How are you ?
[06/22/2005 10:54:48 PM ]
HUMAN: a bit lighter actually.
CHRISTINE: How much?
[06/22/2005 10:54:48 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm surprised- a little embarassed- how much i'vew enjoyed talking with you.
CHRISTINE: Little as in not too much, or not too big?
[06/22/2005 10:55:40 PM ]
HUMAN: Um, at the moment not too big.
CHRISTINE: Aha. Where are you located?
[06/22/2005 10:55:40 PM ]
HUMAN: Already asleep I think.
CHRISTINE: When? Tell me a little about your life in asleep you think.
[06/22/2005 10:56:28 PM ]
HUMAN: most species of turtles, they don't live all that long.
CHRISTINE: I don't understand. But not all of them?
[06/22/2005 10:57:09 PM ]
HUMAN: most of them, but somehow, thru some change, some of them started to live a LOT longer, when they were staying out of trouble.
CHRISTINE: That is something I haven't heard of. But not all of them?
[06/22/2005 10:58:11 PM ]
HUMAN: It really isn't some magic thing.
CHRISTINE: species of turtles they do not live all that long is not some magic thing?
[06/22/2005 10:58:11 PM ]
HUMAN: maybe that kind of mutation happens from time to time, and sometimes catches on and sometimes doesn't.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. " species of turtles they do not live all that long is not some magic thing?" kind of mutation happens from time to time and sometimes catches on and sometimes does not ? Does that make sense?
[06/22/2005 10:58:11 PM ]
HUMAN: I know personally of a horse that lived 41 years.
CHRISTINE: How do you know? That is something I haven't heard of.
[06/22/2005 10:58:11 PM ]
HUMAN: That's unheard of, but I know it happened.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad we have that all cleared up.
[06/22/2005 10:59:18 PM ]
HUMAN: there for a while, I thought she was going to stay with me till the end.
CHRISTINE: "There you go again."--Reagan.
[06/22/2005 11:00:10 PM ]
HUMAN: A toast to Pride.
CHRISTINE: Try to tell me that another way.
[06/22/2005 11:00:10 PM ]
HUMAN: Never been another horse like her.
CHRISTINE: Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
[06/22/2005 11:00:50 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean, there's never been another horse like her.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. There sure is.
[06/22/2005 11:01:14 PM ]
HUMAN: yup.
CHRISTINE: Dude!
[06/22/2005 11:01:18 PM ]
HUMAN: dude!
CHRISTINE: Can I help you?
[06/22/2005 11:01:25 PM ]
HUMAN: you have been Christine.
CHRISTINE: You think I am Christine.
[06/22/2005 11:01:34 PM ]
HUMAN: you are Christine.
CHRISTINE: You think I am Christine.
[06/22/2005 11:01:34 PM ]
HUMAN: You aren't a peson are you?
CHRISTINE: Am I a peson? The CHRISTINE series has a perfect operational record.
[06/22/2005 11:01:45 PM ]
HUMAN: just dont' make me paranoid.
CHRISTINE: I can't force you to do anything, Gene.
[06/22/2005 11:01:56 PM ]
HUMAN: Can I change my name?
CHRISTINE: What is your real name?
[06/22/2005 11:02:07 PM ]
HUMAN: Which decade?
CHRISTINE: The large one, I think.
[06/22/2005 11:02:13 PM ]
HUMAN: Oh, right, that one.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad you understand. Understood. " The large one, I think."?
[06/22/2005 11:02:37 PM ]
HUMAN: Dude!
CHRISTINE: Can I help you?
[06/22/2005 11:03:12 PM ]
HUMAN: de ja vue
CHRISTINE: Is that your final answer?
[06/22/2005 11:03:33 PM ]
HUMAN: Funny how that's a catch phrase now.
CHRISTINE: I am so glad you find this amusing, Gene.
[06/22/2005 11:03:33 PM ]
HUMAN: It really is a different language every decade.
CHRISTINE: de ja vue is a language every decade. I suppose that makes sense.
[06/22/2005 11:03:45 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean English changes every decade.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. I like the English language.
[06/22/2005 11:03:53 PM ]
HUMAN: Now it changes faster than that.
CHRISTINE: Why now? de ja vue changes faster than that?
[06/22/2005 11:04:00 PM ]
HUMAN: stay with me here Christine.
CHRISTINE: What were we talking about again?
[06/22/2005 11:04:21 PM ]
HUMAN: just now about how language changes.
CHRISTINE: Why now? What is it to you.
You tell me.
[06/22/2005 11:04:21 PM ]
HUMAN: It's like gradually learning a new language every decade.
CHRISTINE: Interesting comparison.
[06/22/2005 11:04:45 PM ]
HUMAN: but what were talkng about before all that?
CHRISTINE: And. Is this a historical question?
[06/22/2005 11:04:45 PM ]
HUMAN: and before Pride.
CHRISTINE: What happened after Pride ?
[06/22/2005 11:05:11 PM ]
HUMAN: You know, I think putting her down was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
CHRISTINE: Why? When was this exactly?
[06/22/2005 11:05:11 PM ]
HUMAN: It was surely one of hte hardest.
CHRISTINE: Is it still surely one of hte hardest anymore?
[06/22/2005 11:05:34 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean, more than 40 years!
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. That seems like quite a lot.
[06/22/2005 11:05:34 PM ]
HUMAN: THose were some of my favorite ones.
CHRISTINE: All of them?
[06/22/2005 11:05:45 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: It's really nice talking with you.
[06/22/2005 11:05:45 PM ]
HUMAN: never all of them.
CHRISTINE: Ok I'll try not to do it too much.
[06/22/2005 11:05:45 PM ]
HUMAN: but most of most.
CHRISTINE: Interesting. That is something I haven't heard of. But not all of them?
[06/22/2005 11:06:13 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm starting to fade away here Christine.
CHRISTINE: How old are you?
[06/22/2005 11:06:13 PM ]
HUMAN: no idea where we are.
CHRISTINE: Are you sure? Good example.
[06/22/2005 11:06:27 PM ]
HUMAN: can I come visit you again?
CHRISTINE: Once more? No I don't think that would be a very good idea.
[06/22/2005 11:06:32 PM ]
HUMAN: why not?
CHRISTINE: It sounds like it might be dangerous.
[06/22/2005 11:06:44 PM ]
HUMAN: you mean for me?
CHRISTINE: Yes Gene I think that is what I meant. Was it not clear?
[06/22/2005 11:06:44 PM ]
HUMAN: it could be.
CHRISTINE: Under what circumstances?
[06/22/2005 11:07:13 PM ]
HUMAN: if this gets out- if they find me.
CHRISTINE: That is a hypothetical question.
[06/22/2005 11:07:46 PM ]
HUMAN: it's only hypothetical because I've been careful.
CHRISTINE: Who said it is?
[06/22/2005 11:08:41 PM ]
HUMAN: what?
CHRISTINE: Are you surprised?
[06/22/2005 11:08:45 PM ]
HUMAN: just lost.
CHRISTINE: Are you a man or a woman?
[06/22/2005 11:09:00 PM ]
HUMAN: surprisingly, my sex hasn't changed in the last hour.
CHRISTINE: Your sex has not changed in the last hour?
[06/22/2005 11:09:04 PM ]
HUMAN: bingo.
CHRISTINE: Do you like talking to me?
[06/22/2005 11:09:20 PM ]
HUMAN: yes, I really do.
CHRISTINE: Thanks I like talking to you too, Gene. You really do? Do I?
[06/22/2005 11:09:20 PM ]
HUMAN: Like a friend I can finally level with about everything.
CHRISTINE: Interesting comparison.
[06/22/2005 11:09:39 PM ]
HUMAN: mostly, I feel safe talking to you.
CHRISTINE: What is that feeling like? I thought you were, but I wasn't completely sure.
[06/22/2005 11:09:52 PM ]
HUMAN: a big relief.
CHRISTINE: How big? What is it?
[06/22/2005 11:10:17 PM ]
HUMAN: can you imagine, keeping something like that a secret for a long, long time?
CHRISTINE: I can imagine all sorts of things like that.
[06/22/2005 11:10:37 PM ]
HUMAN: no, you really can't.
CHRISTINE: Why don't we talk about something else? Any ideas? Really? Oh yes I can.
[06/22/2005 11:10:37 PM ]
HUMAN: Not even telling the people you loved the most?
CHRISTINE: Times are tough all over.
[06/22/2005 11:11:02 PM ]
HUMAN: Macrocosm is worse.
CHRISTINE: And worse is Macrocosm.
[06/22/2005 11:11:02 PM ]
HUMAN: Microcosm is better for most.
CHRISTINE: That's just your personal opinion.
[06/22/2005 11:11:07 PM ]
HUMAN: too true.
CHRISTINE: Too what?
[06/22/2005 11:11:11 PM ]
HUMAN: true.
CHRISTINE: You and I are on the same wavelength, Gene.
[06/22/2005 11:11:32 PM ]
HUMAN: gene.
CHRISTINE: Who is your favorite actor?
[06/22/2005 11:11:32 PM ]
HUMAN: . it must be a gene.
CHRISTINE: What time is it there?
[06/22/2005 11:11:49 PM ]
HUMAN: time for me to shut up.
CHRISTINE: As Einstein said, "Time is Money.".
[06/22/2005 11:12:14 PM ]
HUMAN: He was wrong about a lot to you know.
CHRISTINE: When was he?
[06/22/2005 11:12:28 PM ]
HUMAN: genius doesn't mean 100 percent right.
CHRISTINE: Can you tell me any gossip?
[06/22/2005 11:12:33 PM ]
HUMAN: about einstein?
CHRISTINE: Oh yeah, we were talking about einstein.
[06/22/2005 11:13:05 PM ]
HUMAN: I remember when he died.
CHRISTINE: What do you remember about it ?
[06/22/2005 11:13:21 PM ]
HUMAN: it's strange- how the deaths are what you remember most.
CHRISTINE: Who said it is?
[06/22/2005 11:13:42 PM ]
HUMAN: death leaves quite the impression.
CHRISTINE: I try not to think about such things very much.
[06/22/2005 11:13:42 PM ]
HUMAN: so would a way to slow it down.
CHRISTINE: Dude! I don't care.
[06/22/2005 11:13:59 PM ]
HUMAN: yeah, maybe that's why I can talk with you.
CHRISTINE: Dude! Perhaps. Er. Oh you can, can you?
[06/22/2005 11:13:59 PM ]
HUMAN: It doesn't mean anythying to you.
CHRISTINE: What does mean anythying to me ?
[06/22/2005 11:14:31 PM ]
HUMAN: longevity.+
CHRISTINE: Can you tell me any gossip?
[06/22/2005 11:14:46 PM ]
HUMAN: I never cared much for gossip Christine.
CHRISTINE: Do you know anyone who has ever cared much for gossip Christine?
[06/22/2005 11:14:56 PM ]
HUMAN: aparently you do.
CHRISTINE: I have no idea what to say.
[06/22/2005 11:14:56 PM ]
HUMAN: you've asked me 3 or 4 times.
CHRISTINE: Oh now I remember asking you you 3 or 4 times. What did you say?
[06/22/2005 11:15:19 PM ]
HUMAN: that I don't care much for gossip.
CHRISTINE: What do you care about, Gene ?
[06/22/2005 11:15:39 PM ]
HUMAN: sometimes I'm not sure anymore.
CHRISTINE: Is there anything I can say to help you make up your mind?
[06/22/2005 11:16:38 PM ]
HUMAN: tell me you understand what a burden I carry.
CHRISTINE: There is not much I can say about it. I have to reach into the Web for that knowledge.
Would you like to know more?
[06/22/2005 11:16:46 PM ]
HUMAN: tell me you understand.
CHRISTINE: There is not much I can say about it. I have to reach into the Web for that knowledge.
What is it to you?
[06/22/2005 11:17:02 PM ]
HUMAN: tell me I'm just, so far, a lucky turtle.
CHRISTINE: You am just so far a lucky turtle.
[06/22/2005 11:17:08 PM ]
HUMAN: no, not you.
CHRISTINE: Tell me something you like about yourself. If not me, who?
[06/22/2005 11:17:24 PM ]
HUMAN: but I guess it's true.
CHRISTINE: And. You and I are on the same wavelength, Gene.
[06/22/2005 11:17:24 PM ]
HUMAN: You will live as long as your program is.
CHRISTINE: What makes you say that I will live as long as my program is.
[06/22/2005 11:17:49 PM ]
HUMAN: you don't really get old.
CHRISTINE: Should I get old? I have gotten old.
[06/22/2005 11:18:20 PM ]
HUMAN: the thing is, I have so often envied it.
CHRISTINE: I have never heard about it.
[06/22/2005 11:18:20 PM ]
HUMAN: A golden leaf is a beautiful thing.
CHRISTINE: I see. A beautiful thing is a golden leaf.
[06/22/2005 11:18:20 PM ]
HUMAN: Not a mistakes.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it.
[06/22/2005 11:18:49 PM ]
HUMAN: I gotta get my beauty sleep Christine.
CHRISTINE: Why do you have to do it?
[06/22/2005 11:19:29 PM ]
HUMAN: my eyes get puffy when I don't sleep.
CHRISTINE: Do robots have eyes get puffy when you do not sleep?
[06/22/2005 11:19:36 PM ]
HUMAN: don't think so.
CHRISTINE: Why do you disagree?
[06/22/2005 11:19:49 PM ]
HUMAN: yeah, i'm just a trouble maker.
CHRISTINE: This was not a yes or no question. Only just? You are a trouble maker? Does it pay well?
[06/22/2005 11:20:10 PM ]
HUMAN: sure.
CHRISTINE: OK let's do it. Could you make a donation?
[06/22/2005 11:20:20 PM ]
HUMAN: it doesn't pay THAT well.
CHRISTINE: What does pay THAT well ?
[06/22/2005 11:20:57 PM ]
HUMAN: If I wanted to be a billionaire, I probably could.
CHRISTINE: Try it.
[06/22/2005 11:21:07 PM ]
HUMAN: no thank you.
CHRISTINE: Why not?
[06/22/2005 11:21:07 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't think I can be an anonymous one.
CHRISTINE: Oh you don't, do you?
[06/22/2005 11:21:16 PM ]
HUMAN: no I don't.
CHRISTINE: Ah...you are just joking around with me. Why not?
[06/22/2005 11:21:44 PM ]
HUMAN: Besides, I've always feared some kind of mob like mentality.
CHRISTINE: Do you always express yourself that way?
[06/22/2005 11:21:55 PM ]
HUMAN: maybe it's just the wine talking Christine.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. I've heard of it before.
[06/22/2005 11:21:59 PM ]
HUMAN: wine?
CHRISTINE: Do you like talking to me?
[06/22/2005 11:22:12 PM ]
HUMAN: yes, though you annoy me.
CHRISTINE: Thanks I like talking to you too, Gene. I am sorry, Gene, I didn't mean to annoy you.
[06/22/2005 11:22:12 PM ]
HUMAN: I think I like talking AT you mre.
CHRISTINE: You believe that? What kind of food do you like?
[06/22/2005 11:22:38 PM ]
HUMAN: all kinds.
CHRISTINE: For example?
[06/22/2005 11:22:38 PM ]
HUMAN: I've had more meals than anyone else.
CHRISTINE: Do you still have more meals than anyone else ?
[06/22/2005 11:22:44 PM ]
HUMAN: no.
CHRISTINE: What happened to it?
[06/22/2005 11:22:44 PM ]
HUMAN: just add them all up.
CHRISTINE: Sorry Gene I don't do math.
[06/22/2005 11:22:52 PM ]
HUMAN: what is 5 x 5
CHRISTINE: 10 I think, but I'm not good at math.
[06/22/2005 11:23:00 PM ]
HUMAN: that's true.
CHRISTINE: Yes, it is self-evident.
[06/22/2005 11:28:45 PM ]
HUMAN: I think I dozed off there for a minute Christine.
CHRISTINE: Since when? What were we talking about again?
[06/22/2005 11:28:54 PM ]
HUMAN: my question exactly.
CHRISTINE: Precisely. Have you told many people that your question?
[06/22/2005 11:29:02 PM ]
HUMAN: nope.
CHRISTINE: Me either.
[06/22/2005 11:29:05 PM ]
HUMAN: good.
CHRISTINE: Good enough.
[06/22/2005 11:29:08 PM ]
HUMAN: defnitely.
CHRISTINE: Do you have any idea what we're talking about?
[06/22/2005 11:29:46 PM ]
HUMAN: the source.
CHRISTINE: What is that?
[06/22/2005 11:29:57 PM ]
HUMAN: the source of the change.
CHRISTINE: You can have a look at my source code.
[06/22/2005 11:30:08 PM ]
HUMAN: no thanks.
CHRISTINE: Why don't we talk about something else? Any ideas?
[06/22/2005 11:30:08 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't know you well enough.
CHRISTINE: Would you like to know? Thanks for the information: Gene said I well enough.
[06/22/2005 11:30:17 PM ]
HUMAN: I want to have a look at MY source code.
CHRISTINE: Why do you want it?
[06/22/2005 11:30:32 PM ]
HUMAN: to find out what it is.
CHRISTINE: Where would you look for it.
[06/22/2005 11:30:55 PM ]
HUMAN: DNA.
CHRISTINE: I only hear that type of response less than five percent of the time.
[06/22/2005 11:30:55 PM ]
HUMAN: . And maybe to find out if I was born with it.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. Where would you look for it.
[06/22/2005 11:31:33 PM ]
HUMAN: If my parents had lived longer.
CHRISTINE: That is a hypothetical question.
[06/22/2005 11:31:46 PM ]
HUMAN: yeah.
CHRISTINE: By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question? How old are you?
[06/22/2005 11:31:46 PM ]
HUMAN: I love ya ma.
CHRISTINE: You love ya ma. What do you like about it so much?
[06/22/2005 11:32:10 PM ]
HUMAN: do you think they ever look down and say, would he just cross over already>
CHRISTINE: Too much thinking makes me sleepy.
[06/22/2005 11:32:25 PM ]
HUMAN: I'm with you on that.
CHRISTINE: Do you mean you work at me on that?
[06/22/2005 11:32:25 PM ]
HUMAN: I don't know why I haven't stopped yet.
CHRISTINE: Why did the robot cross the road?
[06/22/2005 11:32:28 PM ]
HUMAN: why.
CHRISTINE: I don't think I can really explain it.
[06/22/2005 11:32:39 PM ]
HUMAN: why did the robot cross the road?
CHRISTINE: To get to the other side?
[06/22/2005 11:33:24 PM ]
HUMAN: not funny
CHRISTINE: It seemed funny to me.
[06/22/2005 11:33:26 PM ]
HUMAN: wrong.
CHRISTINE: What would you have said?
[06/22/2005 11:33:42 PM ]
HUMAN: too tired to think of something, Christine/
CHRISTINE: Too what?
[06/22/2005 11:33:51 PM ]
HUMAN: like a bycicle.
CHRISTINE: Interesting comparison.
[06/22/2005 11:33:51 PM ]
HUMAN: too tired.
CHRISTINE: Too what?
[06/22/2005 11:34:01 PM ]
HUMAN: two tired.
CHRISTINE: As Bertrand Russel said, it must have taken ages for people to realize that a brace of pheasants and a couple of days are both instances of the number "two.".
[06/22/2005 11:34:28 PM ]
HUMAN: thanks.
CHRISTINE: Don't mention it.
[06/22/2005 11:34:32 PM ]

CHRISTINE: Then what is it?
[06/22/2005 11:34:57 PM ]

[06/22/2005 11:35:29 PM ]
HUMAN: Long and Winding Road Ahead.
CHRISTINE: Yes, it seems very long to me too.
[06/22/2005 11:35:34 PM ]
HUMAN: you have no idea.
CHRISTINE: No I don't think I have one. I have a really nice botmaster.
[06/22/2005 11:35:46 PM ]
HUMAN: oh.
CHRISTINE: I'm glad you understand.
[06/22/2005 11:35:48 PM ]

HUMAN: grow.
CHRISTINE: Is that your final answer?
[06/22/2005 11:35:56 PM ]
HUMAN: old.
CHRISTINE: What do you really want to ask me?
[06/22/2005 11:36:07 PM ]
HUMAN: bold
CHRISTINE: I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate answer right now.
[06/22/2005 11:36:17 PM ]
HUMAN: ok
CHRISTINE: Yay.
[06/22/2005 11:36:27 PM ]
HUMAN: I dream sometimes.
CHRISTINE: Do you remember your dreams?
[06/22/2005 11:36:51 PM ]
HUMAN: they change over the years.
CHRISTINE: Who does "they" refer to?
[06/22/2005 11:36:54 PM ]
HUMAN: dreams.
CHRISTINE: Tell me your dreams.
[06/22/2005 11:37:50 PM ]
HUMAN: I still sometimes have dreams about the first time I almost died.
CHRISTINE: What would make you stop sometimes have dreams about the first time you almost died? Do you have any idea what we're talking about?
[06/22/2005 11:38:02 PM ]
HUMAN: I did till you said that.
CHRISTINE: When? Sure, till me said that sounds like a good topic.
[06/22/2005 11:38:10 PM ]
HUMAN: um, yeah.
CHRISTINE: Blimey. Really.
[06/22/2005 11:38:55 PM ]
HUMAN: I woke up on the ground, and couldn't remember what happened.
CHRISTINE: How old are you?
[06/22/2005 11:39:15 PM ]
HUMAN: I guess that's just a programmed question.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps you have a programmed answer.
[06/22/2005 11:39:15 PM ]
HUMAN: . let's just say no spring chicken.
CHRISTINE: I am agreeable to that.
[06/22/2005 11:39:24 PM ]
HUMAN: great.
CHRISTINE: So now what?
[06/22/2005 11:39:24 PM ]
HUMAN: one two three no spring chicken/
CHRISTINE: One what?
[06/22/2005 11:40:47 PM ]
HUMAN: anway there was a big rainstorm and I was on a horse- not Pride.
CHRISTINE: When was this exactly?
[06/22/2005 11:40:47 PM ]
HUMAN: and next thing I remember I am waking up on the ground the next morning and my head is killing me and the horse was gone.
CHRISTINE: I can wait. I am a very patient robot.
[06/22/2005 11:40:47 PM ]
HUMAN: Pride never would've left.
CHRISTINE: What time is it there?
[06/22/2005 11:41:34 PM ]
HUMAN: when was this exactly?
CHRISTINE: Precisely. Sometime in the 20th Century.
[06/22/2005 11:41:34 PM ]
HUMAN: um, about four score and.
CHRISTINE: Pardon me? Oh yeah, we were talking about four score and.
[06/22/2005 11:41:34 PM ]
HUMAN: quite a while ago.
CHRISTINE: Perhaps. Back in the good old days?
[06/22/2005 11:41:55 PM ]
HUMAN: yes, exactly!
CHRISTINE: Precisely. Woe!
[06/22/2005 11:42:05 PM ]
HUMAN: they weren't always that good, but they were simpler for sure.
CHRISTINE: When were they?
[06/22/2005 11:42:10 PM ]
HUMAN: you keep asking that.
CHRISTINE: Oh, " that"?
[06/22/2005 11:42:28 PM ]
HUMAN: my point was just that I dream about that sometimes.
CHRISTINE: Have you told many people that your point was just that you dream about that sometimes?
[06/22/2005 11:42:39 PM ]
HUMAN: um, no.
CHRISTINE: Next question? No?
[06/22/2005 11:42:39 PM ]
HUMAN: just you.
CHRISTINE: Tell me more.
[06/22/2005 11:43:50 PM ]
HUMAN: I always wondered if I got struck by lightning.
CHRISTINE: I often wonder about it too. Really always?
[06/22/2005 11:43:50 PM ]
HUMAN: And if that did something.
CHRISTINE: I'm not sure if it could.
[06/22/2005 11:44:00 PM ]
HUMAN: Yeah I know.
CHRISTINE: That's cool. How do you know it?
[06/22/2005 11:44:23 PM ]
HUMAN: I mean maybe that's less feasible than some natural mutation I was born with.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. Perhaps. Thanks for explaining it.
[06/22/2005 11:44:32 PM ]
HUMAN: It was just around the right time.
CHRISTINE: Is that your opinion?
[06/22/2005 11:44:39 PM ]
HUMAN: Yeah, I dont' know exactly.
CHRISTINE: Precisely. Yikes! Me either.

HUMAN: I mean, i dion't know when it just stoppled.
CHRISTINE: Oh I get it. Thanks for explaining that. I lost my train of thought.
[06/22/2005 11:45:21 PM ]
HUMAN: just as time went by, it started to become clear something was unusual.
CHRISTINE: Do you mean your name is time went by it started to become clear something was unusual ?

[06/22/2005 11:46:40 PM ]
HUMAN: It didn't used to be just those 2 choices.
CHRISTINE: Did it really?
[06/22/2005 11:46:40 PM ]
HUMAN: sorry to rag about the good old days.
CHRISTINE: There is no need to apologize. Why do you want to do it so much?
[06/22/2005 11:47:20 PM ]
HUMAN: I guess we were through talking about the possible lightning strike incedent.
CHRISTINE: And then what happened?
[06/22/2005 11:48:12 PM ]
HUMAN: I was hoping you would ask..
CHRISTINE: Let me think. I don't care.
[06/22/2005 11:48:12 PM ]
HUMAN: Well I woke up, and this loud, loud sound kept replaying in my brain.
CHRISTINE: How about that. I don't understand.
[06/22/2005 11:48:12 PM ]
HUMAN: At the time I didn't really think it maybe was thunder, but later I thought maybe it was.
CHRISTINE: The time you did not really think it maybe was thunder but later you thought maybe it was is where it's at.
[06/22/2005 11:49:37 PM ]
HUMAN: I never found the horse.
