Personhood

Hey!

Hey, dickhead!

Do you like to watch?

Do you like to watch?

Just push it.

I hope you'll be very happy here.

I will be happy.

Is this it?

I'll...

Thank you.

They are real.

Yes.

I've never slept in it myself, but...

Anyway.

Yes.

Is that enough space for you?

So what do you think?

Not bad, eh?

I think I'm going to be very happy here.

Yes?

Absolutely.

This is where I keep the tins and stuff.

Here are the things for tea and coffee.

Saucepans and so on.

Potatoes, onions, garlic, that sort of thing.

I love cooking.

Right.

The washing machine is here, and soap powder here,

and round here...

And here's where I keep all the cleaning products and so on.

- Do you understand? - Yes.

I put this here to protect the wood from the chemicals.

That's a good idea.

I thought we could, you know, get to know each other.

Maybe chitchat for a bit.

- Or unpack first? - Would you like that?

- Okay. - Okay, I'll do that first.

I don't drink, I'm afraid.

Of course.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Buddy, pack it in.

Buddy!

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I'll get something to clear that up.

That's a good idea.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Yes?

Could you put your clothes on, please?

Absolutely.

Waylen.

Do you find me attractive?

Of course.

Shake?

Do you like it?

Yes, thank you.

- Great. - That's good.

I like you.

I think I like you very much.

How do you know that?

We've only just met.

I just do.

Excuse me.

I'll do it.

No.

I have to do it.

I'm sorry.

I'm not sure this is going to work.

How do you mean?

Well, you know, you and me.

Maybe you should go back,

go back to where you came from.

Can we do that?

But you said you find me attractive.

Yes... But...

Please don't send me back.

I like you very much.

Stop saying that.

But it is true.

- What's wrong? - It's not true.

We've only just met. And, anyway, how can I know

you're not just saying what I want to hear,

when really you don't feel it at all?

I do feel it.

No you don't.

You can't.

Shit, they're just empty words. They don't mean anything.

I love you.

What?

Of course you don't love me!

Now I know this is all fake. You're fake!

I'm not fake.

I'm real.

- I love you. - Stop saying that!

I like you.

How do I know that you like me?

Because I tell you so.

Yeah, but they're just words. They don't show you really mean or feel it.

I do.

Yeah, but how do I know that?

Put yourself in my position.

Imagine you're me. How do I know you're telling the truth?

- I don't know. - You see?

No matter how many times you say you love me, or any of that stuff,

I can't know if your words are real feelings.

I'm not you.

Imagine you are me.

Stop it. Please.

See my position? How can I believe you?

Stop. Please.

Answer me!

Stop. Please-

Hey.

Hey!

Shit.

No, no, no, you fucking idiot!

I hope you'll be very happy here.

I hope you'll be very happy here.

Please hold.

Please hold, still checking.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Have you tried your personal activation phrase?

Yes, several times.

Understood.

Checking.

Were you having intercourse with your companion when the fault occurred?

No, of course not. She's only just arrived.

Understood.

Checking.

How can you release a product with bugs?

Please excuse the inconvenience you are having with your companion.

Are you with your companion?

Yes.

Hello?

- Hello. - Thank you for holding!

I recommend that you reinitialize your companion by carrying out a memory reset.

How do you do that?

- Are you with your companion? - Yes.

Okay. Behind her left ear, there's a small indentation.

Hang on.

- Okay, found it. - Good.

Press the reset button with a small screwdriver for at least 10 seconds.

What will that do?

It will delete all her memories since she received her personal activation phrase.

Okay, then what?

Then position yourself in front of your companion and reuse

the personal activation phrase that you recorded when you ordered your companion.

Okay.

Will it hurt her?

No, no, she won't feel any pain.

Gala.

Gala, if you can hear me, please ignore what I said to you earlier.

I was wrong. I'm not going to send you back, I promise. I'll never send you back.

I need you, Gala, please.

Do you understand?

I need you.

I know you like me. I believe you.

Do you hear me?

Please give me another chance.

I like you, Gala. I like you very much.

What just happened?

I broke the plate.

No, I mean you becoming like a statue for about an hour.

Do you often, like, lock up?

No.

I'm still learning.

We're both still learning.

I...
