Domin
Rossum's Universal Robot factory doesn't produce a uniform brand of Robots. We have Robots of finer and coarser grades. The best will live about twenty years. [He rings for Marius.]
Helena
Then they die?
Domin
Yes, they get used up.
[Enter Marius.]
Domin
Marius, bring in samples of the Manual Labor Robot.
[Exit Marius].
Domin
I'll show you specimens of the two extremes. This first grade is comparatively inexpensive and is made in vast quantities.
[Marius reënters with two Manual Labor Robots.]
Domin
There you are; as powerful as a small tractor. Guaranteed to have average intelligence. That will do, Marius.
[Marius exits with Robots.]
