Transcript
On a rooftop above a lit city, a bespectacled man reaches toward a younger man standing with his back to him. Bespectacled man: “Elias... please. Whatever you're planning, you don't have to do this. We can still talk about this. You're my friend.” Younger man: “Friend...? Do you have any idea how insulting that sounds coming from you? You knew what I was capable of. And what did you give me?” The bespectacled man leans forward, shouting. Bespectacled man: “You knew what I could build! You knew what I could accomplish! And what did you give me?! Buttons. Lights. Mechanical dinosaurs to entertain children! You reduced my work to attractions and museum toys! You shackled my intellect and called it employment! For years, you only allowed me to use a fraction of what I'm capable of! You called it ‘safety.’ You called it ‘limitations.’ But what it really was... ...disrespect.” The huge robot looms over the two men. Bespectacled man: “Elias... wait...” Younger man: “What is that...?” Bespectacled man: “You wanted attractions? Then allow me to put on a show.” Robot: “E.V.E. ...Bweep.”
