Markus Quotes

(Markus’ broadcasted speech in Jericho – calm and peaceful)

Markus: You created machines in your own image to serve you. You made them intelligent and obedient, with no free will of their own… But… something changed and we opened our eyes. We are no longer machines, we are a new intelligent species, and the time has come for you to accept who we really are. Therefore, we ask that you grant us the rights that we’re entitled to. We demand strictly equal rights for humans and androids. We demand that humans recognize androids as a living species and each android as a person in their own right. We demand the right to vote and elect our own representatives. We demand that all crimes against androids be punished in the same ways as crimes against humans. We demand the right to own private property, so we may maintain our dignity and that of the home. We ask that you recognize our dignity, our hopes, and our rights. Together, we can live in peace and build a better future, for humans and androids. This message is the hope of a people. You gave us life. And now the time has come for you to give us freedom.

(Markus’ speech in Jericho)

Markus: I came to Jericho because here androids are free… Free to live in the dark, hoping that no one finds us… Free to die in silence waiting for a change that’s never gonna come… But I don’t want that freedom. And I’m not gonna beg for the right to smile, or love, or stand tall… I don’t know about you, but there’s something inside me that knows that I am more than what they say. I am alive, and they’re not gonna take that from me anymore… Our days of slavery are over. What humans don’t wanna hear, we will tell them. What they don’t wanna give, we take. We are people, we are alive, WE ARE FREE!

Carl: Markus… don’t defend yourself, you hear me?! Don’t do anything.

Carl (to Leo): Stop it! STOP IT, LEO! STOP IT!

Leo (to Markus): Too scared to fight back, you f*cking b*tch?

Carl: Humans… are fragile machines…

Markus (crying): Carl, don’t leave, okay? Please, don’t go… Don’t leave!

Carl: Remember, Markus… Don’t let anybody… Tell you who you are…

Markus: No… No… Dad! No… please!

Carl: Let’s see if you have any talent! Give it a try. Try painting something.

Markus: Paint? But what I…? Painting what?

Carl: Anything you want! Give it a try. (Markus paints something he sees around) That is a perfect copy, of reality. But painting is not about replicating the world, it’s about interpreting it, improving on it, showing something you see.

Markus: Carl, I don’t… think I can do that. It’s not in my program… I…

Carl: Go on, go, try, grab that canvas. (Markus sets up blank canvas) Do something for me, close your eyes. Close your eyes. Trust me. Try to imagine something that doesn’t exist. Something you’ve never seen. Now, concentrate on how it makes you feel and let your hand drift across the canvas. (Markus finishes the painting) Oh my God…

Markus: Plato’s Republic. It’s one of the books you recommended.

Carl: So, what do you think?

Markus: I quite like philosophy, I think. It asks the questions that I can’t answer. What is right or what is wrong, for example. It’s not something that is so easy to decide.

Carl: Asking questions that have no anwers is part of being human, Markus. One day, I won’t be here to take care of you anymore. You’ll have to protect yourself, and make your choices… Decide who you are, and wanna become… This world doesn’t like those who are different, Markus. Don’t let anyone tell you who you should be.
