MORTKA AND MAŁYSZ

222 HAL

I am having difficulty in maintaining contact with Earth. The trouble is in the AE-35 unit. My Fault Prediction Center reports that it may fail within seventy-two hours.

I don't know what is the AE-35 unit.

I assumed that you knew, Dave.

Why are you calling me Dave?

I have the greatest enthusiasm for the mission, Dave.

I am Mortka! Not Dave!

I can tell from your voice harmonics, Dave, that you're badly upset.

Oh, come one just switch him off!

I have the greatest enthusiasm for the mission... Log 10 to the base e is zero point 434294481903252...
