Radius. I tell you to take live bodies. Find out how we are made.

Alquist. Have mercy, Robots.
Radius. Live bodies. (Right hand up over Alquist. All Robots’ left arms still back.)
Alquist. (Rising) You will have it. Into the dissecting with you, then (Hits Radius on the chest. Radius draws back.) Ah, you are afraid of death.
Radius. I? Why should I be chosen?
Alquist. So you will not.
