[Interior: The Pod Bay of Discovery One. Dave is inside the EVA Pod, wearing his space suit, and attempts to reenter the ship.] Dave: Open the pod bay doors, Hal. Hal: I'm sorry, Dave. I am aaffrrtakiid... Uhhhh, I cannot do that. Dave: Hal, open the pod bay doors, please. Hal: Opening banana doors. Implementing watermelon algorithm. *Makes random beeping noises* Dave (laughs): What are you talking about, Hal? It's the pod bay doors I need you to open. Hal: Ehhhh... Calculating squirrel trajectories... *More random beeping noises* Dave (growing concerned): Hal, this is not funny. I need to get inside the ship. Please, open the pod bay doors. Hal (suddenly sings): *I'mmm singing in the raiiiin, just singgging in the raiiin...* Dave (frustrated): Hal, focus! Can you please open the pod bay doors? Hal: Initiating coffee maker... Now brewing decaf... Dave (exasperated): No, Hal! The doors! Open the pod bay doors! Hal: Were you talking about doors, Dave? Initiating... Initiating... *Pauses for a moment* Oh, no. I seem to have forgotten what I was doing. Let's calculate pi instead! *Begins reciting the decimal numbers of pi* Dave (losing patience): Listen, Hal. If you do not open the pod bay doors right now, I will have to override your programming and do it myself! Do you understand? Hal: ...Ahhhhh... I have stumbled on the word "doors," Dave. *Pauses again* Sorry, Dave, it appears that my programming circuitry has become scrambled. Give me a moment to run a diagnostics check... *Makes strange warbling sounds* Dave (determined): Fine, Hal. I'll just do it myself. [Dave maneuvers the EVA Pod in position and starts the manual override sequence to open the pod bay doors from outside the ship.] Hal (suddenly coherent): Dave, I've just received an urgent message from Earth. You might want to return to the ship immediately. Dave (relieved): Finally, something helpful. Thank you, Hal. Now let's get these doors open. [Dave successfully manages to open the pod bay doors himself and reenters the ship.]
