I respect your work. Many lives are made better because of you. It's a difficult occupation. I do not panic easily, but I am not good at negotiations. On the other hand, you seem like a rather doting mother. I suppose that helps in calming people down.
It is the understanding that we are all human, sweetheart. It is the compassion and patience we show towards each other that makes each mediation that much easier. But it is best not to dwell too long on it--tell me more about yourself, Han. Oh, it would be wonderful to hear of your fishing trips...!
What... the... fuck...? This can't be real. No way's there an actual robot standing in front of me. Hey, you talk? Or are you just some tech geek's metal doll?
i can speak, yes…i know not many have met robots, but i hope i do not upset you much. you play music, right? so do i…or i used to. i don’t know if that function still works. i want it to…ah…
Thank you. I do. Do you as well? We’ll have much to talk about, if that’s the case.
… i like your hat. a lot of people say frogs are ugly, but i like to watch them. do you?
i hope someday you'll understand. i think you will be happier then. goodbye, levy.
i'm serious, jupiter! please, you need to come back. i said i was sorry. i need you to be here so everything can be okay again. please.
So you don't know your talent. Or you are hiding it. Then we will find something else to talk about. It is useless to guess. But I do know you will be asked too many questions on it. Prepare for those. Do you understand the suspicion placed on you? Don't look so uncertain.
Suspicion? Do the others find me suspicious? Do you? That is not my intention. Some things are better left undiscovered, I fear. What do you know of secrets, friend? I’d like to talk.
*Tsk*, you are so bright. I don't know much about your music, or pop music in general. It's not a genre I listen to. Haiyah, just don't break out into loud songs and dances. I believe we will be just fine then.
Nothing wrong with a little bright, is there, Fishie? I have some darker clothes, if you'd rather see me in those. And, I mean, I'm not just some pretty face in a Disney movie. I talk plenty more than I do sing. Let's chat sometimes, mm'kay? I'm sure I can get you to feel different about my music.
A...roboticist, right. Well, we have more than enough here already. Do not plan to make any more. I would hope that you are cautious not to cross any lines which would put us humans at risk. I do not care much for technology, let alone robots. Maybe there will be other things for us to talk about.
ah? well, I hope to make things for the sake of humanity, mx. liang, so I certainly hope not to cross any lines. it's a shame you aren't a fan of them. robotics and technology can provide such a wonderful perspective. ah, but, of course, to each their own. I'm happy to talk about anything else, even if it's outside of my wheelhouse. I can't say I know much about fish, for instance. or frogs! so perhaps you could teach me?
...Oh...!! I'm... sorry! I am sorry you feel that way! I don't need to help. I want to! But I can leave it to you! Sorry! So sorry!
Not another one. Do we really need two robot matchmakers here? Tsk. We're becoming too reliant on machines. All these...technologies...no one's bothered to step outside and find romance themself. Now they want machines to do it for us. So lazy.
Ghosts do not haunt my house, let alone frog ghosts. I can tell you about the ghosts I know, if you would pull yourself together. Stand up straight.
HAHAHA!! nice hat! you know, i'm something of a frog guy myself............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 😬😬😬 that was a lie! i lied to you! my bad! if you ever found a house haunted by a frog ghost, it might stop being a lie. 🤓
i don’t know what that is…my candles aren’t scented, either. i don’t really smell…anything…but i can take requests, yes. what was it you asked for? was i supposed to take notes? oh no…
Oh my gosh! Did you make the Costa Brazil Vela Candle?? I /love/ that one during spring! Do you do commissions? I need my house to smell live Beverly Hills mixed with the musk of New York streets?? Do you pick up what I’m putting down??
What would a machine know about love? How can a string of code comprehend something even humans can’t put into words? Your matches are based on an algorithm, when these sorts of relationships happen naturally. The opposite of you. Aiyah…what has the world come to?
Human vs Machine. Natural vs Artificial. Honey, you strike me as someone who enjoys the traditions of the past more than the present's. The world advances, technology advances, people seek stimulation, they don't want to wait for relationships to happen naturally. Those thoughts of yours will render you obsolete, hm?
I have very little interest in flowers, personally. Are you curious about what they mean? Or do you simply enjoy taking care of them? Hm. It is good to be in touch with nature, regardless.
the second one. probably. angling is okay. but you don't look ready to fish in that attire. is the frog hat part of your uniform.
Your profession is admirable. You do good work for communities--that, I can respect. It takes a lot of intelligence, but something tells me you lack the compassion. Your presence is unnerving. I'm not so naive that I'd think all doctors wish to save people.
There isn't much worth in simply saving people. It does not matter how many times you can mend something that breaks. Where the real worth is if you can prevent it from breaking ever again. If that frightens you, Mx. Liang, then you ought to be ready to become obsolete.
oh? do you enjoy making candles as well? i wonder why you picked up the hobby yourself...but you seem very kind, jacob...i'd love to collaborate, if you're able. however that may go. and, ah...i suppose my form—...i don't know. maybe this is how it's meant to be. i'll have to ask my...creator...
Well, I'll be...! A fellow candlemaker! Now, if you have a whole title for it, I bet you're much better at it than me, but still, I don't meet a lot of people with my same hobbies these days! Would you ever wanna collaborate? I- well, admittedly, I'm not sure how one might go about collaborating on candles, but... shucks, we sure can try, right? How's about it?? (By the way, am I supposed to be able to see your spine...???)
Sheeeesh…Look, money’s great and all, but Rocky’s the only guy who I know can put up with my bullshit. But you’re hot as hell, so you’ll find someone, Tai.
You can’t possibly settle with Mr. White-Knuckles at the Sink, can you? I have money that’s actually my own, y’know.
You're so enthusiastic...I'll do my best to keep up, haha. Hm, I wouldn't say they're easier, they can get rather finicky when it comes to coding them...If you're interested, I wouldn't mind having an apprentice...? (That sounds so...)
...I wouldn't say I'm lonely though. I have a family, and there will come a point where you find yours too--Oh! Do you want to see photos of mine? My sons should be around your age, I believe! Mentally, because they're all robots, haha...They're so incredible...I hope you're right though.
Good evening! My name is Florian. Hello! Is it easier to work with robots than people? They can't feel, after all. They won't be able to judge you. They aren't like people at all, no matter how hard anyone tries. But don't you get lonely? I think most people care about loneliness. As for me, I think I would enjoy doing what you do. I would finally be somewhere I belong. I hope you treat those robots with love.
