Oh, no! No!
Fabry
Pardon me. But kindly tell me what is the real aim of your League—the . . . the Humanity League.
Helena
Its real purpose is to—to protect the Robots—and—and ensure good treatment for them.
Fabry
Not a bad object, either. A machine has to be treated properly. Upon my soul, I approve of that. I don't like damaged articles. Please, Miss Glory, enroll us all as contributing, or regular, or foundation members of your League.
Helena
No, you don't understand me. What we really want is to—to liberate the Robots.
Hallemeier
How do you propose to do that?
Helena
They are to be—to be dealt with like human beings.
