Logan's Run (1977)

Donald Moffat: Rem

Quotes 

• Rem : You're Logan and Jessica from the City of Domes. I know all about you. Of course, I know everything that goes on here, but that usually isn't much.

  Logan : Who are you?

  Rem : My name is Rem. I'm the one who brings them up to snuff when they break down, which they do with monotonous regularity. The way they build servants these days.

  [Rem shakes his head ruefully] 

  Rem : But then, nothing is ever perfect, is it? Including my situation.

  Jessica : Then you're not happy here?

  Rem : Who could be happy surrounded by robots? "It is a pleasure to serve you, sir." "Your wish is my command, sir." "Is the water satisfactory, sir?" Never a word that hasn't been prerecorded. Boring. The only fun I get is changing their faces.

  [points to Siri's head] 

  Rem : Oriental next time, perhaps.

• Jessica : Maybe you can help us.

  Rem : How?

  Logan : We want to leave, but your robots seem to have other ideas.

  Rem : My robots? Well, I suppose you could call them mine. It's a dubious honor, though, at best. One track minds... Good idea, though. Leaving, I mean. Always wanted to leave - never had anyone to leave with... nor any place to go, come to think of it. I'll leave with you... if you don't mind company.

  Jessica : Of course we don't. Do we?

  Logan : No, of course not.

• Logan : You're a robot, too?

  Rem : Call me an android, Logan, a cyborg, what you will - but never, ever, call me a robot. They are robots. There's a vast difference. I am the result of hundreds of years of experimentation - the ultimate computer in human form.

• Rem : Why didn't you leave when you had the chance?

  Jessica : We wouldn't go without you.

  Logan : You did help us.

  Rem : You were willing to risk your safety to stay with me because I helped you?

  Jessica : Yes. Of course!

  Rem : That doesn't compute.

• [last lines] 

  Rem : Well, where are we off to?

  Logan : We're looking for a place called, "Sanctuary".

  Rem : "Sanctuary"?

  Jessica : Mm-hmm. It's a place where humans can live out their lives in freedom and in peace. Where they can raise their children with love and teach them the values of dignity and loyalty.

  Rem : Freedom, love, loyalty - those are human concepts, I suppose.

  Jessica : Oh, yes, of course.

  Rem : Worthwhile?

  Logan : Very.

  Rem : Hm. Fascinating. Drive on!
