Hi. Ed Ramsey from Delos.

If there's anyone who doesn't know

what Delos is, well, as we've always said...

...Delos is the vacation

of the future, today.

At Delos you get your choice

of the vacation you want.

There's Medieval World, Roman World

and, of course, Westworld.

Let's talk to some people

who've been there.

Pardon me, sir. What is your name?

Gardner Lewis.

Just got back from Westworld.

Tell us how you liked it, Mr. Lewis.

When you played cowboys and Indians

as a kid, you'd point...

...go "bang, bang" and the other kid

would lie down and play dead.

Well, Westworld is the same thing, only...

only it's for real!

I shot six people!

Well, they weren't real people!

What Mr. Lewis means is

he shot six robots...

...scientifically programmed to look, act,

talk and even bleed just like humans do.

Isn't that right?

Well, they may have been robots.

I mean, I think they were robots.

I mean, I know they were robots!

Yes, the robots of Westworld are there

to serve you...

...and to give you the most unique

vacation experience of your life.

Thank you, sir.

And you, madam?

Hello.

What is your name?

My name is Janet Lane,

and I was in Roman World.

What is the one thing that stands out

in your mind about Roman World?

Oh, well, I think it would be...

...the men!

I just feel marvelous! I mean...

...it's just a warm,

glowing place to be!

Thank you very much.

Oh, thank you very much!

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- And you, sir?

- Yeah?

What is your name, sir?

Oh, I'm Ted Mann.

I'm a stockbroker from St. Louis.

And, which world did you

just come from, sir?

Oh, you're not going to believe this!

I've just been the sheriff of Westworld

for the last two weeks!

Did it seem real to you, sir?

It's the realest thing I've ever done!

I mean that!

- Thank you very much.

- Yeah.

And you, sir?

My name's Arthur Caine.

I've been in the castle.

I've had a couple of sword fights

and three jousts.

And I...

I married a beautiful princess.

Is that something you've

always dreamed of doing, sir?

All my life!

There were some of the comments

of people who've just returned from Delos.

Why don't you arrange...

...to take our Hovercraft to Medieval World,

Roman World and Westworld?

Was it worth $1,000 a day?

Yes!

Contact us today, or see your travel agent.

Boy, have we got a vacation for you!

This is Delos Control to Station 3.

You are cleared on Vector 79, on 195...

We anticipate scanning

in about four and a half minutes.

I'm not worried at all. I'm just...

I'm just curious.

How much do they weigh?

Three or four pounds.

That heavy.

Do they have much of a kick?

A Colt.45?

Well, I never fired one before.

What about that thing

where you go like this over the gun?

- Fanning?

- Yeah.

- What about it?

- Is that hard to do?

Now...

The gunbelt, does it have those strings

to tie around your leg?

If that's the kind you want.

That's the kind I want. I think it's

probably better for quick draws, you know.

It all depends.

What kind of gunbelt did you have

the last time?

I had the one without the strings.

And you could draw fast?

Then maybe it doesn't matter after all.

The guns they give you are real guns?

Real guns.

That's incredible.

Give us a shift to 197...

...and take it down to Port 43.

Negative acceleration at 22.

So long as you maintain

passenger comfort.

Sigma-sigma was transferred

according to the log at 041.

The orientation on the resort

will now begin.

Please put on your earphones.

Don't you want to listen?

I heard it the last time.

...consists of three separate resort areas,

each with its own special appeal.

Whichever resort you have chosen...

...we are sure you will have

a fascinating and rewarding stay here.

Western World is a complete re-creation

of the American frontier of 1880.

Here it is possible to relive the excitement

and stresses of pioneer life to the fullest.

Western World is a life of lawless violence,

a society of guns and action.

This is Medieval World, where we have

reconstructed 13th-century Europe.

A world of chivalry and combat,

romance and excitement.

Our teams of engineers have spared

no expense in this re-creation...

...precise to the smallest detail.

Then we have Roman World:

A lusty treat for the senses in the setting

of delightful, decadent Pompeii.

Here the traveler experiences the sensual,

relaxed morality that existed at the peak...

...of the Imperial Roman Empire.

All together,

these resorts comprise Delos...

...the most exciting vacation spot

in the history of man.

This is Delos Control to Station 3.

Your negative deceleration

should be 25...

...and your ground speed should be

The whole spectrum of technology

has been employed in Delos...

...for the vacationer's pleasure.

Expensive and unusual,

Delos is not for everyone.

But for those who choose it, it is truly

a unique and rewarding experience.

We have you on Grid 5.

Notify ground crews.

Stand by. Locking in now.

Shut down 2, shut down 3.

Shut down 2, shut down 3.

Nice job, everybody.

Welcome to Delos.

Please go to your color-coded tram...

...which will take you

to the world of your choice.

Give your name to the attendant.

Welcome to Delos.

Please go to your color-coded tram...

...which will take you

to the world of your choice.

May I have your name, please?

John Blane.

- Peter Martin.

- Thank you.

Please go to your color-coded tram

which will take you...

...to the world of your choice.

We are sure you will enjoy your stay

in Western World.

Was she a...?

Probably.

That's amazing!

Supposedly, you really can't tell...

except by looking at the hands.

They haven't perfected the hands yet.

Nothing can go wrong.

You will enjoy your stay

in Roman World.

While you are there, please feel free

to indulge your every whim.

Medieval World exists for you, the guest.

Nothing can go wrong.

I have a quick fade on the CRT and my

balance controls don't seem to help me.

I'm keeping this in real time.

Switch me over to an on-line status

and I'll do it manually.

You've got a three-millisecond cycle delay

which should be computed in.

I don't know what to do

if the stagecoach is late.

Oh! It's fantastic!

I reckon that's everything.

Bath's down the hall.

Bath'll cost you

two bits for hot water.

Dinner at 7:
00, breakfast at 6:30.

Get lunch on your own.

Couple of places in town to eat.

Don't look like much here,

but we have everything.

Just a minute.

You mean to tell me he's a robot?

That's what I mean to tell you.

We're paying $1,000 a day for this?

It's authentic.

The West of the 1880s.

Well, at least they could've made it

a little more comfortable.

But that's the point.

This is really the way it was.

If you wanted comfort,

you should have stayed in Chicago.

Julie would have loved all this!

Poking around for hours

in all those funny shops, looking for silly...

What the hell is wrong with you?

You're a lawyer!

You know better than anybody else
