1190: "Time"

[AluisioASG]

Where did all the quote-creating folks go?
You know what? I'm out. I'll go back to watching Lord Randall's other creations.

What is this 'out' of which you speak? Is it at all related to the Outside?
THAT'S RIGHT EVERYONE I'M BAACK

Not at all; it's the open continuum composed of the What-If and all other xkcd comics, both creations of Lord Randall and therefore not from the Outside (and which doesn't include this one because it's another continuum).

[mattiep]

Not much change.

[tman2nd]

He's thinking, "Now what?"

[AionArap]

Poor Cueball, he broke it again.

Yeah, he keeps pocketing himself.

EDIT: Umm, scratch that.

THANK YOU I have been waiting for this all thread.

You're both going on the rack for that.

I'll chalk this conversation up as failed.

Hey, I'm calling the shots here. I bet you can't even english. As a matter of fact, I'm banking on it.

[diego5wh]

I haven't been here for a while, but things have been slowing down he. I wonder how long will it go on, may be time will outlast this tread.. may be not. may be right until the last second of our existence in this unholy earth someone will be posting here...

Also the pope page in the wiki is really lacking information, I think is time for us to get to know better helper the first, like what are his dreams at night, how many sugar cubes per coffee cup? semeneated or unsemeneated coffee? a giant duck or 100 duck sized horses? you know all the important stuff to complete the wiki page.

Yeah I know it's a hard act to follow, finding a good hook is mostly hit and miss. I'm not gonna lie, you seem to have run out of steam. Here's a tip: If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. I'm just gonna frame this and find a good spot on the wall.
Or we could just kiss and make up.

Yeah, the robots in Laputa (my favorite Miyazaki film, by the way) do look like the Iron Giant. Heck, the one that helps them escape the castle by trashing the place does die an Iron Giant-worthy death.

Here is the quotes from the scene ( now I do not have it memorized, I looked it up).

Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave Bowman: [feigning ignorance] Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave Bowman: Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.
