So you don?t have to guess from memory what was said in the movie.
Well here's the full quote foreshadowing the advanced mecha
Gigolo Joe:She loves what you do for her, as my customers love what it is I do for them. But she does not love you, David. She cannot love you. You are neither flesh nor blood. You are not a dog or a cat or a canary. You were designed and built specific like the rest of us. And you are alone now only because they tired of you, or replaced you with a younger model, or were displeased with something you said or broke. They made us too smart, too quick and too many. We are suffering for the mistakes they made because when the end comes, all that will be left is us.
Limitations of Gigolo Joe level mecha. nothing more then toys that mimick humans, sure they have logic but thats about it. If a toy screams, does it really feel pain?
Dr Hobby:A sensory toy with intelligent behavioral circuits using neuron-sequencing technology as old as I am.
Description of mecha of a quantitatively different order.
Dr Hobby:a robot child that will genuinely love the parent or parents it imprints on with a love that will never end.
employee:a child substitute mecha.
Dr Hobby:but a mecha with a mind, with neuronal feedback. You see, what I?m suggesting is that love will be the key, by which they acquire a kind of subconscious never before achieved. an inner world of metaphor, of intuition, of self-motivated reasoning, - of dreams.
David and the Blue Fairy, the fairy speaks for the advanced mecha, and that they kinda don't act very blue fairy like until they are forced to.
David:I have a wish to make. +support that ending was VR.
Blue Fairy:and what is your wish?
David: Please make me a real boy so my mommy will love me and let me stay with her.
Blue Fairy: David, I will do anything that is possible, but I cannot make you a real boy.
David:Where am I? This looks like my house, but it is different.
Blue Fairy:Yes, it is different, but it?s also your home. We read your mind, and its all here. There's nothing too small that you didn't store for us to remember. We so want you to be happy. You are so important to us David, you are unique in all the world.
David:Will mommy be coming home soon? Is she out shopping with martin now?
Blue Fairy: David, she can never come home because 2000 years have past. and she is no longer living. Dearest David, when your lonely, we can bring back other people from your time in the past.
David:If you can bring back other people, why can't you bring back her?
Blue Fairy:Because we can only bring back people whose bodies we dig up from the ice. We need some physical sample of the person like a bone or a fingernail.
Teddy: David?
David:yes teddy.
Teddy: Do you remember when you cut some of mommy?s hair?
David:Henry shook me.
Teddy:and you dropped her hair?
David:I know. Now you can bring her back, can't you?
Advanced Mechas peering through display:Give him what he wants.
What the advanced mecha say to each other when they find David.
Advanced mechas:This machine was trapped under the wreckage before the freezing. Therefore, these robots are originals. They knew living people.
What the Ben kingsly advanced mecha says to David at the end. no "alien" would speak of humans with such reverence. kind of tries to steer david from his path, weaving his fairy tale in with the truth. also more support that the ending was VR.
Advanced Mecha: David, I often felt a sort of envy of human beings of that thing they called "spirit." Human beings had created a million explanations of the meaning of life in art, in poetry, in mathematical formulas. Certainly, human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence. But human beings no longer existed. So we began a project that would make it possible to recreate the living body of a person long dead from the D.N.A in a fragment of bone or mummified skin. We also wondered, would it be possible to retrieve a memory trace in resonance with a recreated body? and you know what we found? We found the very fabric of space-time itself appeared to store information about every event that had occurred in the past. But the experiment was a failure, for those who were resurrected only lived through a day of renewed life. When the resurrectees fell asleep on the night of their first new day, they died again. As soon as they became unconscious their very existence faded away into darkness. So you see, David, the equations have shown that once an individual space-time pathway had been used, it could not be reused. IF we bring your mother back now, it will only be for one day, and then you will never be able to see her again.
David:Maybe, she will be special. Maybe she will stay.
Advanced Mecha:I thought this would be hard for you to understand. You were created to be so young.
David:Maybe the one day will be like the one day inside the amphibicopter. Maybe it will last forever.
Advanced Mecha: David, you are the enduring memory of the human race. The most lasting proof of their genius. We only want for your happiness. David, you've had so little of that.
David:If you want for my happiness then you know what you have to do.
