Max Waters : Shut it down!
Evelyn Caster : It? That's HIM!

[first lines]
Max Waters : They say there's power in Boston. Some phone service in Denver. But things are far from what they were. Maybe it was all invevitable. An unavoidable collision between mankind and technology. The Internet was meant to make the world a smaller place. But it actually feels smaller without it. I knew Will and Evelyn Caster better than anyone. I knew their brillance. Their dedication to what they believed in. And to what they loved.

Max Waters : I spent my life trying to reduce the brain to a series of electrical impulses. I failed. Human emotion, it can contain illogical conflict. Can love someone, and yet hate the things that they've done. Machine can't reconcile that.
Evelyn Caster : Can you?
Max Waters : Yes.

Max Waters : He created this garden for the same reason he did everything. So they could be together.
-
Max Waters : This thing is like any intelligence. It needs to grow, to advance. Right now it's settling somewhere it thinks it's safe from outside threats. Somewhere its massive appetite for power can be met. But it will want more than that. After a while survival won't be enough. It will expand, evolve, influence - perhaps the entire world.
-
Will Caster : Look, I'll be long gone. And you, you will never be in the end of it if you don't try.
Max Waters : I know. I'd like to think that I was smart enough to save you.
Will Caster : Don't underestimate yourself. You're the third smartest person I know.
-
Max Waters : Are you sure about this?
Will Caster : Good enough for the monkey...
