Don’t ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.””Why can’t we all move forward together?””Because you’re all different. You’re not lemmings.

That’s its hope and glory.””Thank you very much.””My pleasure, sir.””You’ve saved the day.””Always a lovely day somewhere, sir,” the robot beamed. Then it fizzed, jangled, and collapsed.
