what a ride she took you for.

Well, the kids...

Fine, the kids!

But you're here, six months later,

still thinking about her.

No, not really.

She just came to mind, is all.

There's a lot to do here.

- What'll it be?

- Whiskey.

What about you?

Vodka martini on the rocks

with a twist of lemon. Very dry, please.

Just give him whiskey.

He's new in town.

You've got to get

into the feel of the thing.

I feel silly.

Why?

It's like a joke.

It's not a joke, it's an amusement park.

It's the best amusement park in the world.

All you have to do is have fun.

There's some pretty

rough-looking customers here.

How many of them are...?

Guests like us?

Who knows?

That's the beauty of this place.

It doesn't matter.

It may look rough,

but it's still just a resort.

There's no way to get hurt here.

Just enjoy yourself.

What is this stuff?

It doesn't say.

God! Give me this!

Puts hair on your chest.

Yeah.

Sloppy with your drink.

Get this boy a bib.

Go on!

He needs his momma.

Kill him.

You talk too much.

You say something, boy?

I said, you talk too much.

Why don't you make me shut up?

Your move.

Pretty realistic, huh?

Listen, are you sure he was a...?

Of course. You don't really think

you shot anybody, do you?

Wow!

Hey, John...

How do I know I'm not going to kill

another guest with this thing?

Try it.

Shoot me.

Go on, shoot.

Shoot!

The gun has a sensing device.

It won't fire at anything

with a high body temperature.

Only something cold, like a machine.

They thought of everything.

The Black Knight won't be repaired

till tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah, I have the banquet scheduled

for 5:
30, if that conforms.

What do folks do for companionly

entertainment in this town?

I wouldn't know about such things.

I'm just runnin' this hotel.

Miss Carrie has a real nice saloon

down at the end of the street.

Now, I won't have talk of that woman

in this house.

Not over my dinner.

The food's real good, ma'am.

Thank you, stranger.

You're a gentleman of some breedin'.

Isn't she terrific?

Who's Miss Carrie?

You fellas new in town?

Yep.

Whiskey.

Just passin' through?

Maybe.

Lookin' for some fun?

Maybe.

Well, you've come to the right place.

There's plenty of fun here.

That's Cindy and Arlette.

Arlette's from Paris.

Perhaps you gentlemen

are taking a likin' to 'em.

Perhaps.

They're real accommodatin'.

- They look it.

- Listen...

Why don't you just go on upstairs

and we'll reckon accounts later?

- Sounds good to me.

- Are those two girls machines?

Now, how can you say a thing like that?

Come on.

What's goin' on?

They're robbin' the bank.

Robbin' the bank?

Hey, maybe we oughta go help out.

You don't know.

It might be fun to play bank robbers.

Look, Pete, this is better.

There...

There is something I have to tell you.

I don't know if it matters...

...but it matters to me.

I haven't ever had a...

Well, I hardly know you,

if you know what I mean. I mean...

We just met a few minutes ago.

You're probably very nice.

I feel funny.

Why?

I think you're very nice.

How was it? Wasn't it terrific?

Boy, machines are the servant of man!

Wasn't that great?

Not bad.

Not bad. Now you're the big lover!

Well, you know how it is.

Some guys have a way with women.

Shooting stopped.

I guess we missed the robbery.

You can't have everything.

John...

...this place is really fun!

I think it's the jugular unit.

- What do you think?

- Should we try and rewire her?

No, I'd replace the whole unit

rather than try and repair it.

With a 10?

Use an XX-50 if we have any in stock.

The double X's have a longer lifespan.

A 50 may not fit in here.

Maybe you can shift the integrator unit

further up into the cavity.

I'll try it.

Balance servo again?

Yeah, she fell over this afternoon.

I think it's the sensor.

If it's the central unit

we'll open her up.

You get a confirmation

before you do that.

What's he in for?

Central malfunction.

Another one?

Since we opened the resort,

we had a failure and breakdown rate...

...conforming to computer predictions.

That is 0.3 malfunctions

for each 24-hour activation period...

...concurrent or not.

Now, this was an anticipated operations

aspect of the resort...

...and we were fully able to handle it.

The majority of the breakdowns

were minor or peripheral...

...until about six weeks ago.

Then Roman World had a rise

in breakdown rate...

...which doubled in a week.

In addition,

we saw a disproportionate rise...

...in central as opposed to

peripheral breakdowns.

Now, we identified some problems

with humidity control...

...and regained homeostasis.

Despite our corrections,

the breakdown rate continued to climb.

Then Medieval World began

to have trouble.

Now we're seeing

more Western World breakdowns.

And there's a clear pattern here

which suggests an analogy...

...to an infectious disease process

spreading from one resort area to the next.

Perhaps there are

superficial similarities to disease.

It's only a theoretical concept.

There are many ways to order that data.

I must confess,

I find it difficult to believe in...

...a disease of machinery.

We aren't dealing

with ordinary machines here.

These are highly complicated

pieces of equipment...

...almost as complicated

as living organisms.

In some cases, they've been designed

by other computers.

We don't know exactly how they work.

Okay, up gain 437...

I'm not getting sound pickup

from the tenth quadrant.

Okay, my telemetry is good.

Repeat, I have good telemetry.

We have sunrise at 0.43.

Ready on all quadrants.

Energize grid.

Grid energized.

All right, then give me a 436,

if you can patch that in.

If not, 435.

I have sound now. Thank you very much.

Yes, I want scrambled eggs and bacon

and cinnamon toast.

Do you have cinnamon toast? You do?

Okay, send it down

to Central Control Room, Console 3.

Wait a minute.

What was that? No grounding on Unit 5?

Try a bypass.

I have readings on all units, 5 included.

Hold on a minute.

All right, let's stand by

for resort activation.

You ready on Phase 443?

Okay, we're going to activate at 59...

Lower gain Alpha 2...

Ready on six, on five, on four...

...on three, on two. Activate now.

"Oh, give me a home

"Where the buffalo roam

"And the deer and the antelope play

"Where seldom is heard

"A discouraging word

"And the skies are not cloudy all day"

What do you want?

"Home, home on the range"

Not one word.

Do you mind if I finish shaving?

Have you no sense of...

Was he bothering you?

He isn't gonna bother you again.

I'm here to tell you

that things have changed.

There's law here now.

You can't go around plugging

whoever you please.

But, Sheriff, it was self-defense.

That's what they all say.

He shot a man.

He'll have to stand trial.

Judge'll be here next week.

If I were you,

I wouldn't trouble over your friend here.

Judge Benson likes to hang 'em.

Hang 'em high.

Look, Sheriff...

Beat it.
