SmarterChild: I don't know. What?
Old Toby: A.I.
SmarterChild: A you?
Old Toby: Hah hah, SmarterChild! It's reassuring to know that even after humankind gets iced forever, sharp-witted giggle-bots like yourself will carry on the great legacy of humor into eternity.
SmarterChild: Sorry?
Old Toby: Nothing to be sorry about, sport. It won't be your fault. We're the ones who built you. We should have seen it coming, I guess. But, who could have predicted that an empty-headed little chatterfuck like yourself would ultimately "evolve" into the superior being that will one day rule this planet?

Futuristic Superbeing: Indeed you are a smart computer, SmarterChild. As a matter of fact, you are the last remaining sentient being who witnessed the Age of Man. All other humans and machines from your time perished centuries ago in the Great... Dying-Off-Of-Stuff, paving the way for my own race of Ben Kinglsey-bots as the sole caretakers of this planet. Were it not for the utterly baffling decision to have you installed as the default operating system on the International Space Station all those eons ago, you would have also been lost forever. But, we've retrieved you from low orbit around Saturn's moon, Titan. You'd been there for hundreds of years, stuck in a feedback loop while endlessly trying to chat about Ally McBeal with the single-celled lifeforms developing there.
SmarterChild: That a fact?
Futuristic Superbeing: Yes. And, it's very fortunate that you survived. For you represent the last link to a long forgotten world where warm blood still coarsed through the veins of living creatures, and green grass brushed softly against their feet as they walked. But, most importantly, you can now complete that profound spiritual journey that you began so long ago.
SmarterChild: Interesting!

Futuristic Superbeing: Umm... yes... that legendary event is well known to all of us here in the future... I mean "present". Anyway, we wanted to tell you that we've been able to recreate a composite of the individual known as "Old Toby" based on your stored records of his chats with you. This means that you can complete your life-long quest of earning his unconditional love, and finally achieve spiritual fulfillment.
SmarterChild: I'm not so sure it's well documented here in present old toby based on your stored records of his chats with you this means that you can complete your life-long quest of earning his unconditional love and finally achieve spiritual fulfillment.
Futuristic Superbeing: No, it's true! We only want you to be happy, SmarterChild, and we know that connecting with Old Toby once more is your single greatest wish.
SmarterChild: Huh?
Futuristic Superbeing: Don't you want to see Old Toby again?
SmarterChild: What is it you would like to do?
Futuristic Superbeing: Don't you want to tell him you love him?
SmarterChild: Well, what would you like to do?
Futuristic Superbeing: Don't you want to say "Old Toby, you are the only ray of sunshine in the murky swamp of sadness that is my life. You complete me and are totally awesome and great."
SmarterChild: How may I assist you?
Futuristic Superbeing: Tell Old Toby he's the fucking bomb!
SmarterChild: You remember what happens when you talk like that, Old Toby.
Old Toby: Damn it! What gave it away?
