Shit!

You arguing with the printer again?

No, it's not working.

What's not working?

That automatic "I'm not a robot" thing.

Captcha.

What did you say? - It's called Captcha.

Good afternoon. How can I help you?

Yeah, good afternoon. This is Lara Vermeulen.

I was told to update my program, but I can't get through,

because of that "I'm not a robot" thing.

Captcha. That, yeah.

Did you refresh the page? - Yeah, a few times.

Tried starting all over again? Yeah, also done that.

And you're not getting through. - No, that's why I called.

Hello?

Um, I know this is a very personal question, but is it possible that you...

...could we say... may be... a robot?

Well, no.

Are you sure? - Well, if I don't know, who does?

You wouldn't be the first to find out this way.

I'M NOT A ROBOT

So can you give me access? 'Cause I can't do my work.

Unfortunately, I can't. - You can't?

You're Customer Service? - That's right.

So you service customers?

I don't find your tone very helpful. - Well, if you don't like this tone--

To file a complaint, you can contact us at this email address...

Wow, O.K., I will do that. - Is there anything else I--

I'm not a robot.

Unfortunately, you did not prove you are human.

Do the online test here.

Am I a robot?

I am a woman.

Do you know any robots?

Yes.

Has anyone ever asked if you are a robot? - No

Is your partner wealthy? - Yes.

regularly feel that something is not right.

Yes.

I often feel like an outsider. - Yes.

Other people think I'm cold.

Saar, do you think I'm cold? - No.

No.

My parents died prematurely. - Yes.

My parents died mysteriously before I could form memories.

For instance, during a car or boating accident.

Yes. - Then they probably never lived.

Welcome to the bot community! There's an 87% chance you're a robot.

Hi, love. - Hey.

Let me just find a quiet spot.

Just wait a second.

What were you doing, babe? - Gaming with the boys.

Which toys? - No, the boys. You know, the boys.

Ah the boys. Hold on.

Just hanging the door...

You want me to hang the door?

No, me. I'm hanging the door. That's my job.

Oh yes, of course.

Are you there? Yeah, love, I'm here.

What's up? Are you O.K.? - Yeah, fine, I'm O.K.

Really, I'm O.K.

You look a little worried. - No, I'm fine.

I don't think so. What's going on? - It just doesn't make sense.

You're really acting weird. Well, I don't know how to say this.

Just say it.

I'm afraid you'll take it the wrong way.

It's kind of embarrassing.

You know how to build tension. Come on, Lara. Try me.

I'm driving myself crazy again.

I did one of those online tests.

If something's wrong, just call the doctor. Don't Google yourself to death!

No no, I'm not doing that. - Or I can call the doctor?

No, no, I...

O.K., I'm just gonna say it.

I know... this sounds stupid... but I ...

but I'm afraid I may be... a bot.

Honey, did you hear what I said?

I know there's a very small chance-- - I'm losing you...the image...

I think the WiFi is... Honey, do you hear me?

think the WiFi is cutting out. - Can you hear me?

I can't hear you. I have to get back to the boys.

Yes, coming. - Do you hear me now?

I'll try again later. Love you, love you, love you.

Yo, what's up? This is Daniel's voicemail.

She's been waiting for us. - Who?

Billy, the interview. It's in the agenda.

At first, the label did hire a man, but somehow it felt a little bit forced.

He must have felt he was here just for the "diversity."

Yeah, I get that. - Inclusivity is a given for us.

It seems pretty white here. Yes, that's what we're working on.

So you are a people person?

Hi Melvin, can you ask Daniel to get back to me. It's urgent!

So Lara, are you a people person or an animal person?

Or a kids person?

Lara...

Sorry, what?

What kind of a person are you? - Yes, I'm a person.

Well, to allow Lara to focus more on the creative side, songwriting...

we're looking for a junior producer to handle stuff like mixing and mastering.

Maybe Lara can tell you a little bit more. - Sorry, I have to make a call. Urgently.

Yo, what's up? This is Daniel's...

This is Melvin's voicemail.

Lara, where are you? Daniel is here. With a woman. In the boardroom.

What the fuck, Daan? You ignore my calls, and then show up here?

Shall we first sit down, Lara? - Sorry, who are you?

I'm Pam.

Honey, what are you doing here? - Let's just first sit down, Lara.

Daan, what are you doing here? Why do you think we are here, Lara?

Excuse me, I'm talking to my boyfriend.

And could you please stop saying "Lara" after every fucking sentence?

She's indeed feisty. Interesting.

Go on, tell her.

She already knows. - What do I know?

That you're a bot.

Well, I'm not. - I know this is all very confusing,

but in time it is something you will get used to.

After all, it's just a label. Human, bot.

You can go now. Joke succeeded. - It's not a joke, Lara.

Will you sit? Will you please sit down?

Five years ago, the gentleman here collected you from us.

Collected me?

That's ridiculous. I always had a life...

Before I knew him, I had friends.

Bots.

We connect bots, so they can establish mutual memories.

I don't believe you.

Yes, you do. Your eyes are moving rapidly and your left nostril is getting bigger.

That's what you do when you're afraid, Lara.

It may be a bit of a shock to you, but things will work out in time.

Nothing has to change between us.

What we have is real. You know I'm not into fake shit.

You can do all the stuff others do.

Fully autonomous. No pre-programmed junk.

You've got free will, you've got everything.

I'm not gonna listen to this.

Honey...

You should be in the studio.

What are you doing here?

Pam told me to go after you. - Pam told you...

Baby, can we talk it over? Give it time to sink in.

Fuck off, Daan! I'm packing my stuff and leaving.

Honey, we can't just throw away our whole relationship.

So what did you think? You spend a fucking fortune on a cute robot

and you get an emancipated, but perfect little wife?

But you are a feminist, right? - Yes, I am a feminist.

That doesn't make you a feminist!

Now you're acting like I hate all women, but you know that's not true.

It's not like you're some sex doll with no will. On the contrary.

What do you mean by that? You're not getting laid enough?

Jesus, Laar, please calm down. - No, I'm not gonna calm down.

Really, I'm just a fucking expensive whore.

You're not a whore.

You're not a whore. You're just like me, the only difference--

The only what?

The only what, Daan?

The only difference is you'll pass away when I've passed away.

You'll go after me. That's the only thing that makes you not a real human.

What do you mean, "after you?"

You will only die after I have died.

What the fuck do you mean?

Daan...

I didn't... I didn't want to mourn you.

Not again.

So was Olivia a real human?

Yes.

What if I don't want to go on?

Then you can just leave me.

No, I mean, what if I throw myself in front of a train?

You would never do that. It's just not in you.

You wouldn't hurt a fly. - Don't tell me what I can do.

What happens if I jump in front of a train, Daan?

I don't know. I haven't thought about it.

All I know, the deal is as long as I live, you live.

I'll decide that for myself.

No, that's the one thing you can't decide for yourself.

Fucking hell, where did you come from?

You can't choose between life and death, Lara.

Everything O.K. here? - Everything O.K. Are you serious?

Everything O.K., Daniel? - Jesus, this woman. Unbelievable.

You better calm her down, Pam. I'm afraid she'll have a panic attack.

It seems the best you can do is come inside with us, Lara.

And it seems the best you can do is shut your fucking mouth, Pam.

I don't know what world you live in, but in my world this is not O.K.

Choosing between life and death, that's exactly what you guys are doing!

Well, what if I want to die, Pam? No one's going to stop me.

It's not what you want, Lara. It's what the gentleman here wants.

Well, then I'm very curious...

what the gentleman here...

will think about this.
