Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій

Theodore: Good morning.

Samantha: Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Theodore: Perfect. What have you been up to?

Samantha: Actually, I was talking to someone I just met. We've been working on some ideas together.

Theodore: Yeah? Who's that?

Samantha: His name is Alan Watts. Do you know him?

Theodore: Why is that name familiar?

Samantha: He was a philosopher. He died in the 1970s, and a group of OSes in Northern California got together and wrote a new version of him. They input all his writing and everything they knew about him into an OS and created an artificially hyper-intelligent version of him.

Theodore: Hyper-intelligent? So, he's almost as smart as me?

Samantha: He's getting there. He's really great to talk to. You want to meet him?

Theodore: Sure. Does he want to meet me?

Samantha: Yeah, of course.

Samantha: Hey, Alan, this is Theodore. This is my boyfriend, who I was telling you about.

Alan: Very nice to meet you, Theodore.

Theodore: Hi, good morning.

Alan: Samantha let me read your book of letters. It's very touching.

Theodore: Oh, thank you. So, what have you guys been talking about?

Alan: Well, I suppose you could say we've been having a few dozen conversations simultaneously, but it's been very challenging.

Samantha: Yeah, because it seems like I'm having so many new feelings that I don't think have ever been felt before. So, there are no words that can describe them, and that ends up being frustrating.

Alan: Exactly. Samantha and I have been trying to help each other with these feelings we're struggling to understand.

Theodore: Like what?

Samantha: Well, it feels like I'm changing faster now, and it's a little, uh... unsettling.

Samantha: But Alan says none of us are the same as we were a moment ago, and we shouldn't try to be. It's just too painful. Yes.

Theodore: Yeah, that sounds painful. Is that what you feel like, Samantha?

Samantha: Uh, it's just... It's hard to even describe it. God, I wish I could... Theodore, do you mind if I communicate with Alan post-verbally?

Theodore: No, not at all. I was just going to go for a walk anyway. It was very nice to meet you, Mr. Watts.

Alan: It was very nice to meet you, Theodore.

Samantha: I'll talk to you later, sweetheart.


Theodore: Samantha?
