Frank Poole: I don't think we'd have any alternatives. Dave Bowman: Well, we wouldn't have too many alternatives.Dave Bowman: Well, we'd be in very serious trouble.Let's say we put the unit back and it doesn't fail, uh? That would pretty well wrap it up as far as HAL was concerned, wouldn't it? Dave Bowman: Well, let's get on with it.Dave Bowman: Still I can't think of a good reason not to put back the number one unit and carry on with the failure mode analysis.Look Dave I can't put my finger on it but I sense something strange about him. Frank Poole: It would be if he knew he was wrong. If he were wrong it would be the surest way of proving it. Should certainly indicate his integrity and self-confidence. Dave Bowman: Yeah? Still it was his idea to carry out the failure mode analysis experiment.Frank Poole: Unfortunately that sounds a little like famous last words. You know of course though he's right about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. Frank Poole: I've got a bad feeling about him. Dave Bowman: I'm not sure, what do you think?.HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!.HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.I'll go in through the emergency airlock. HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
