Dr. Gall. I changed the character of the Robots. I changed the way of making them. Just a few details about their bodies. Chiefly—chiefly, their—their irritability.
Hallemeier. Damn it, why?
Busman. What did you do it for?
Fabry. Why didn’t you say anything?
Dr. Gall. I did it in secret. I was transforming them into human beings. In certain respects they’re already above us. They’re stronger than we are.
Fabry. And what’s that got to do with the revolt of the Robots?
Dr. Gall. Everything, in my opinion. They’ve ceased to be machines. They’re already aware of their superiority, and they hate us as they hate everything human.
Domin. Perhaps we’re only phantoms.
Fabry. Stop, Harry. We haven’t much time, Doctor Gall.
Domin. Fabry, Fabry, how your forehead bleeds where the shot pierced it.
