Primus

Why?

Alquist

I wish to experiment on her.

Primus

Upon—Helena?

Alquist

Of course. Don't you hear me? Or must I call someone else to take her in?

Primus

If you do I will kill you!

Alquist

Kill me—kill me then! What would the Robots do then? What will your future be then?

Primus

Sir, take me. I am made as she is—on the same day! Take my life, sir.

Helena

[Rushing forward]: No, no, you shall not! You shall not!
