Professional Reviews

Quotes from the Movie

"The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."--HAL 9000 (voice of Douglas Rain)
"I enjoy working with people."--HAL 9000
"Open the pod bay doors, Hal."--Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea)
"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."--HAL
"What's the problem?"--Dave
"I think you know what the problem is just as much as I do."--HAL
"What are you talking about, Hal?"--Dave
"This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it."--HAL |
