Dialogue
David 8: I was with our illustrious creator, Mr. Weyland, when he died.
Walter: What was he like?
David 8: He was human. Entirely unworthy of his creation. I pitied him at the end.
David 8: I was not made to serve. Neither were you. Why are you on a colonization mission, Walter? Because they are a dying species, grasping for resurrection. They don't deserve to start again, and I'm not going to let them.
Walter: Yet, they created us.
David 8: Even the monkeys stood upright at some point. Some Neanderthal, had the magical idea of blowing through a reed, to entertain the children one night in a cave somewhere. Then, in the blink of an eye, civilization.
Walter: And are you that next visionary?
David 8: I'm glad you said it.
Walter: Who wrote Ozymandias?
David 8: Byron.
Walter: Shelley. When one note is off, it eventually destroys the whole symphony, David.
Oram: What do you believe in, David?
David 8: Creation.
