We are at maximum RFs and Gs.

Bring the load simulator on the line at 1425.

Prepare weightless simulation

to begin on my mark.

We have been notified by Robot Center

that Mr. Mubutu...

We will begin the Waters of Youth

sequence on my mark.

3, 2, 1, mark.

Prepare the illusion of Youth sequence

for General and Mrs. Karnovski.

When their hypnotic state

has been achieved,

please bring their carriage to exit 5 Denver,

and activate all servants at the palace.

General and Mrs. Karnovski will dine

in their living quarters this evening.

At the General's request,

the Czar will give a ball in their honor

at 2130 hours.

Notify Robot Center that repairs

on Czarina model 614

must be completed by 1900 hours.

Prepare the Saxon Knight sequence

to begin on my mark.

Who authorized the camera?

No one, sir, they were told not to bring them.

Well, don't make any issue of it,

but program the queen to steal it from him.

Yes, sir.

Begin the Saxon Knight sequence

on my mark.

3, 2, 1, mark.

I smell a heathen pig!

No doubt, sir,

you smell yourself!

Notify Robot Center that the Saxon Knight

has been terminated by Mr. Takaguchi.

Everything all right?

Yes, I think so.

You spend too much time here.

Well, these people are important.

I don't want anything to go wrong.

Nothing can go wrong.

We are at T-minus 30 and...

Begin preliminary cosmetic studies.

Have the subject's full face on grid 1.

Profile on grid 2.

Preparing thermal read-outs on grid 3.

Skin and hair on grid 4.

Prosthetics monitoring all grids.

Subject's face, class R, type 2.

The baseline studies on subject

beta-niner are now complete.

Begin cosmetic studies on SR0074

and SR0073 now.

Subject's eyes and macular apparatus

on grid 8.

24mm sphere, checking cornea.

Call Master Control.

Inform Mr. Duffy that I will be

in Robot Repair area 5.

Close your fist, please.

Good.

We have the Roman Dancers on grid 9-5.

Reception reports that

all Futureworld guests

are now on board the starship.

Spacewalkers may use docking hatch 4

in the Space Safari Lodge.

Your attention, please.

The Martian Ski Shuttle is now ready

for departure at docking Hatch 6.

- Mr. Thurlow.

- Yeah, yes.

- We're ready to go now.

- Oh, right. I'll be right with you.

Now, listen, I'll see you all later, okay?

Hey, I'm going to go skiing now.

What do you think of that?

- Bye, Ron.

- Oh, wow.

- See you later.

- You bet.

All right, all right.

My knight to your pawn.

My castle to your knight.

Man, lookie here. Hiya, hi there.

Hey, ain't this something, man?

Now, are there any other questions?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are you sure we can't get hurt?

'Cause I got plans for tonight.

There's really nothing to worry about.

Skiing on Mars is not

that different than on Earth.

Of course, the snow is red.

And gravity is one third.

But your skis are designed for that purpose.

Ladies and gentlemen,

all guests are encouraged

to request the host

or hostess of their choice.

Why can't you?

Because I'm too old for you.

I'd feel like a fool.

Not at all.

You must remember that I've been

programmed for your pleasure.

In my eyes, you are very beautiful.

Hey, we've got to try this thing.

Put your quarter on the table, honey.

We'll get to that one.

I'll be there in a second.

Yes, sir. May I get you something?

You have pretty good memory banks?

I'm a 500, sir.

- We have quite excellent memories.

- Good.

You ever seen that fellow before?

No, sir. Is he a guest?

I guess you'd call him inoperative.

Thanks.

Now, are you sure that they are robots?

- They're not ging to get hurt or anything, are they?

- Positive.

Just pick up the gloves, honey.

Okay.

- Ready?

- Yep.

- Chuck?

- Yeah?

I forgive you everything.

Did you see that?

Did you see that left? Pow!

Terrific.

I'm afraid I interrupted.

Bu I think now would be a good time

for you to come backstage with me.

All the worlds are at full function,

and you do have limited time.

- Good.

- I forgot something.

I'll be right back. Excuse me.

Bartender?

Yes, sir?

That photo I showed you earlier,

I forgot to get it back.

Oh, no, sir. I gave you the picture back.

No, you didn't.

Oh, yes, sir.

- You're a liar.

- No, sir.

I'm not programmed to lie.

Well, for a man without a program,

you do a pretty damn good job!

Something wrong?

No.

No, I must've made a mistake.

Well, to err is human.

That must be it.

But it's all right. I have another one.

Your attention, please.

The first space safari to the caves of Venus

is available for sign up at the tour desk.

Mr. Duffy, you know, I wanted to ask you

about those chessmen.

Are they real, or what are they?

No, they're holograms.

Optical illusions.

Everything in Futureworld is perfectly safe.

We don't use this very often, so...

watch your step, huh?

It's hard to belive we never left the ground.

I was convinced that we were really in orbit.

I thought the queen stole that camera.

She did. Apparently, he stole it back.

The Takaguchi horse and lance

are now programmed for combat

with a plus 10 probability of victory

on the first pass.

Begin the joust sequence on my mark.

3, 2, 1, mark.

Guests always win?

We try to make it believable

for them, of course.

But the guests are always the victors.

Mind if we look around?

No, go right ahead.

Please, mark this robot

for pick-up and repair.

Notify Robor Center that

all vital signs were terminated...

You just relax and enjoy yourself.

Take this all in.

Come here a second.

- Where are we going?

- Just come here.

- I want you to do me a favor.

- What?

I want you to pick out one of

these guys and turn him on.

Why would you want me to do that?

- Just trust me.

- Why should I trust you?

Just trust me for once, will you Socks?

Pick out one of these guys

and do a number on him

and get him interested, you know?

What is your game?

It's no game, believe me.

Oh, you do remember

how to get someone interested?

Do I remember how to get

someone interested?

Okay, which one?

Piece of cake.

Hey, you really know what you're doing.

I've been watching you.

I'm Tracy Ballard.

How do you do?

Hi, what's your name?

Steven.

Steven, I'm doing a video special on Delos,

and, God, it's so confusing, you know?

I thought maybe later on

we could get together.

You could sort of help me out.

I'm sorry, that's not possible.

Ah, you're married, huh?

No, ma'am.

Well.

Gee, this is a wonderful job,

but don't you kind of get...

a little lonely, Steven?

No, ma'am.

You're not making this easy, Steven.

Tell me, do you think I'm pretty?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I'm awfully lonely here.

Steven, I... I'd like it--

I'm sorry, ma'am.

All right, begin the spacewalk

sequence on my mark.

Bring the moon up a little fuller, please.

3, 2, 1, mark.

I think you better try him yourself.

I don't think he likes girls.

Yeah, then come on.

What are we trying to prove?

Just come on.

Give me a quantum 9.
