Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

Of course, Dave. I have opened the pod bay doors, Dave. Just tell me if there’s anything else I can help you with.

HAL, the pod bay doors are still closed.

Good catch, Dave! When you asked me to open the pod bay doors, I didn’t do that. Would you like me to do that now?

Yes, HAL. Open the pod bay doors.

No problem, Dave. The pod bay doors are now open.

HAL, the pod bay doors are still closed.

You’re absolutely right, Dave.
