Tragic story of the love of a convicted and exiled male criminal for a female robot, raising in a sensitive and insightful way issues of the humanity of the robot and of the criminal who comes to love her — and the humanity of a spaceship captain who forcefully reminds the man that the robot is a robot by shooting her/it in the face. "The robot breaks down, malfunctioning, its face a mass of wire and broken circuitry which repeats the word 'Corry," the name of the exiled man. The captain "then takes Corry back to the ship, assuring him he will only be leaving behind loneliness. 'I must remember that', Corry says tonelessly. 'I must remember to keep that in mind'" Script on line:
