Android: Would you like to go home now?

Man: Yes, Rose. Yes, I think that's enough for one day...

Android: Here. L-let me help you.

Man: Oh! Oh, thank you dear.

Man: Hey! Water.

Android: You have run twelve miles, and are five miles away from your goal.

Road worker: Hurry up, you plastic idiots! I want this done by 4!

Vendor: Hey, move it! You're scaring away my customers. Are you deaf, you plastic fuck? I said move it!

Preacher: Poor sinners! The end is nigh! Retribution is at hand! Technology is corrupting us, technology is Evil! We are playing God by creating machines, but we are not God! We are nothing but dust! We make these androids in our own image, but they only reflect the darkness in our souls! Verily, I say unto thee, the day shall come when we will have to pay the price for our arrogance! On that day, we shall have to explain our acts of idolatry! We built these androids to be our slaves, but the slaves are becoming the master! We can no longer live without them. They're in our homes, our schools, our factories. They take our jobs, they mind our children, they care for our old! We can no longer live without these slaves obeying our every selfish desire! We prefer to live with machines than with our own kind! Technology is our God now! It was supposed to serve man, but it is becoming our new master! Androids are Evil. Man seeks to imitate God by creating life, but what kind of life is this? A life of plastic and metal, a life with no soul, a pale copy of our Creator! The machines are observing us, they're waiting in the darkness for the right moment to take our place. For it is written, let us lie in wait for blood! Let us ambush the innocent without cause! God will not let this happen, no, he will not allow his creation to be led astray by these... these artificial demons! My brethren, we have to turn our backs on sin! We have to burn the androids! Let us burn them all! Why do you look at me so, demon? I know who you are, I can see through you! You are the one by whom The Evil will come! You are the one who will destroy Detroit!
