  David : Can you?

• [David and Martin talk about David's birthday, and then David's first memory] 

  Martin Swinton : When's your birthday?

  David : I never had a birthday.

  Martin Swinton : Okay. When were you first built? When's your build-day.

  David : I don't remember.

  Martin Swinton : Okay, what's the first thing you can remember?

  David : A bird.

  Martin Swinton : What sort of bird?

  David : [David opens his arms out]  A bird with big wings... and feathers sticking up from the bottom.

• [David and Martin call to Teddy to see who he will go to] 

  David : [David calmly asks Teddy]  Come here, Teddy.

  Martin Swinton : [Martin yells out louder]  Come here Teddy! Come!

• [Martin's friend Todd takes a knife to David's arm to see if he can feel pain] 

  Todd : Does he have DAS?

  Martin Swinton : DAS what?

  Kid : [one of the kids says in German]  This is good!

  Todd : [the kid Todd chuckles]  Damage Avoidance System. DAS. It's a pain alert system. Our service man has it. It's so they don't go picking up fire with their bare hands. Watch. Watch this.

  Todd : [the kid Todd grabs a cutting knife, holding it to David's arm]  Now, I'm not gonna cut you. This isn't gonna hurt. I'm not gonna cut your skin. Just tell me when you feel it.

  David : [the kid pokes the knife into David's arm, David feels it immediately, as David turns to hide behind Martin, grabbing onto him, walking backwards with him]  Keep me safe, Martin. Keep me safe. Keep me safe, Martin. Keep me safe.

  Todd : We're organic, your mechanical. Orga, Mecha. Orga, Mecha. Orga, Mecha.

  Martin Swinton : Todd, stop!

  Todd : I didn't even know they made little kids. Can you pee?

  David : I cannot.

  Kid : Then let's see what you can't pee with.
