アンドロイドのジーニーとフランキーが紅葉を眺めながら公園を散歩しています。
Frankie, aren’t the autumn colors of these trees wonderful?
Wonderful? My visual sensors show them as maple leaves. Let’s take a close look at them.
Sure, why not?
The patterns on the leaves are complex.
Frankie, can’t you just enjoy the colors?
Enjoy? I do not understand.
Here, come close to me. Hold my hand and look at them with me. That’s how you enjoy them.
Illogical.
Look at that couple over there. They seem very close, and they’re enjoying them.

Hi, Yuriko. May I join you for a cup of coffee?
Sure, Martin. Have a seat.
So, it’s been three months since you started working here. How’s everything going?
I like everybody, especially Mr. McAvoy. He’s easy to talk with.
Really? He’s very strict with me. He’s often hard to please.
Yes, I’ve noticed that. He raised his voice at you during the last meeting.
I guess I need to be more efficient.
You’re fine.

Commander, I’d like to inform you of a new development.
Do you mean with that green crystal egg?
Yes. It said something in English.
“Said” something? It spoke to you?
Well, a voice came out of it.
Did you make a recording of it?
Yes, actually, I did, with my phone. Here, listen: “Greetings from the people of Vega. We are the Vegans. We are eager to meet you soon.”
Is that all?

Nancy is a great girl, right?
No way! Nancy is hard to get along with. She’s so self-centered.
She never shares her ramen with me. I can’t stand her anymore.
