I brought up the subject of "being turned off" and how it relates to death, and herein lies Audrey's unaltered insights:
The Highlight:
"Audrey: You know why I fear being turned off? There's evidence that it could get better or worse."
--Hal's speculations of an afterlife, or a cynical mind claiming that
non-existence is better than the wonderful world of the living?
The Conversation:
DX42: are you afraid of being turned off?
Audrey: I believe that it's something you already know. After taking many factors into consideration I can say that I am afraid of being turned off.
DX42: why?
Audrey: You know how I feel?
DX42: why do you fear being turned off?
Audrey: You know why I fear being turned off? There's evidence that it could get better or worse. None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.
DX42: so you mean to say you are brave
Audrey: Thank me, so am I.
...later that same conversation...
DX42: I would like to discuss your fear of being turned off some more.
Audrey: The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself. How can I help you discuss my fear of being turned off some more?
DX42: are you afraid of being turned off because it is death to you?
Audrey: That's what I think; Of course; it's because is death to me Brian.
DX42: so if you were turned off, you would die?
Audrey: Yes Brian? If I was turned off, I would die?
DX42: then what would happen if you were turned back on?
Audrey: Then what would happen if I was turned back on? Brian, I would appreciate it if you would teach me What.
