Radius
I don't want any master. I know everything for myself.

Radius, Dr. Gall gave you a better brain than the rest, better than ours. You are the only one of the Robots that understands perfectly. That's why I had you put into the library, so that you could read everything, understand everything, and then—oh, Radius, I wanted you to show the whole world that the Robots are our equals. That's what I wanted of you.
Radius
I don't want a master. I want to be master. I want to be master over others.
Helena
I'm sure they'd put you in charge of many Robots, Radius. You would be a teacher of the Robots.
Radius
I want to be master over people.
Helena
[Staggering]: You are mad.
