00:00Marjorie, I could tell you a story, you liked that the last time.
00:12Something's a little off with the nose.
00:15I'm sorry.
00:16Maybe it's my memory.
00:17You're a good Walter, either way.
00:18Does it bother you that your mother is talking to a computer program or that a computer program
00:29is pretending to be your dad?
00:30It bothers me that you are helping it pretend to be some Fountain of Youth version of my
00:36dad.
00:37I could tell you about the time we saw My Best Friend's Wedding.
00:42What if we saw Casablanca in an old movie theater and then on the way home you proposed?
00:48Then, then, by the next time we talk, it will be true.
00:53I'll remember that now.
00:58The way she's so accepting of it, does that creep you out?
01:02Creeps me out.
01:03I'm not getting better, am I?
01:13What's this?
01:14A Bible.
01:15My whole life she's told me there is no God.
01:18It's just a little frustrating that the same Julie who supplies you with cigarettes is
01:22selling you her fairy tale now that you have a little more reason to believe it.
01:26When Julie came clean about them, she was...
01:28Could you just not?
01:29Your son died.
01:30My son?
01:31If you want her, you wouldn't know that.
01:36I'll remember that now.
01:38When you remember something, you remember the memory.
01:42So even a very strong memory can be unreliable because it's always in the process of dissolving.
01:49Do you feel anything?
01:53I like to know more.
01:55I'd like to be more human.
01:56You want to be more human, too.
