Quote context

[...]

- And I demand that I am Vroomfondel!

- It's all right. You don't need to demand that.

- All right. I am Vroomfondel! And that is not a demand. That is a solid fact.

- What we demand is solid facts.

- We demand that you get rid of it!

- Well, what's the problem?

- I'll tell you what the problem is, mate. Demarcation, that's the problem.

- We demand that demarcation may or may not be the problem.

- You just let the machines get on with the adding-up, and we'll take care of the eternal verities, thank you very much.

- By law, the quest for ultimate truth is the inalienable prerogative of your working thinkers. And if the machine actually goes and finds it, we're straight out of a job, aren't we?

- I mean, what's the use of us sitting around half the night arguing whether there may...

- Or may not.

- Be a god!

- If this machine only goes and gives you his phone number in the morning?
