Holiday? Did you hear me? Say something. You said I'm a machine. Uh-huh. Then I heard you. But I don't know what that means. I'm not sure I do either, but I saw the plans with my own eyes. They're right in that file. Plans for what? for you, Holiday, to build you. Okay, you need to stop. I would really love to stop, believe me. I mean, I don't know what you're saying. I'm a breathing person. And you're telling me I'm what? Like Hermione? A robot? Well, no. Not exactly.
See, from what I can tell, your brain and central nervous system, they were constructed and programmed first. constructed and programmed fiber optics and silicon chips and Then, Dr. Whittier created the outside, the biological part of you. From her DNA, so you could be a replacement. A replacement? For who? For his daughter. For Adelaide Whittier. You saw her portrait. You look exactly like she did when she died. Dr. Whittier lost his daughter, and I guess he figured out how to make a new one.
No. No! Cyrus, this is insane. My brain is not a computer. It's... You learn things. Fast. You break codes. Cyrus, you can't actually... You connect to the cloud. Every article, every... Every video, every bit of knowledge ever put on the web you're able to access and store in your memory banks. My brain is not a memory bank. I'm sorry, but it all makes sense now. Learning French, surviving those falls? No. You're... Project Holiday. A biomechanical
Adelaide Whittier. You're everything she ever was. Except... human. Okay, this was fun for half a second. but we're done now. I don't understand it all either. You found me floating in the water, Cyrus. I was rushed to a hospital where I was examined by real live doctors, including mom. I had x-rays taken. They used stethoscopes on me took my blood pressure and they got results
According to the file, you have functional biological organs. You have a body that works when it's directed to. As long as they don't operate on your brain, any doctor examining you could be fooled into thinking you're... Yes. Watch, right now, your chest rising and falling. It's meant to give the impression you're breathing. I am breathing! Well, yes, technically, but it's a program. They're all programs. If you stopped breathing, you'd keep going. I guess...
survived in the water. If that's true, then why don't I feel it? And how am I running? Batteries? How come I don't need to recharge? You kind of do. The file says every night you're programmed to reboot so the system can process what it learned that day. The reboot takes exactly... Six minutes. Yeah. But you've seen me sleep a lot longer.
I guess you're programmed to sleep through the night, but for six of those minutes, you shut down while you're getting an update. But I passed out at random times. It was always late at night, in the garage after the STEM fair at Whittier Corp. when we were trying to break out, in the van at the gas station. They all happened at times you'd normally be asleep. I know who I am. I know me. I'm a person. A human being. I have memories and thoughts and opinions. No blueprint can explain that away.
But when you think about it, it's actually kind of- Stop! I'm not a science project! I'm not Hermione! Or, or Hovey! Or Ivan! I want you to be right more than anything. I am. If we want to be sure. I am sure. Okay, I'm dropping it. Come on. We need to get you out of here. No matter who you are, you cannot be in this house any longer. What were you gonna say? When? Just now. About being sure. I thought we were dropping this. Cyrus, tell me!
Okay, well, there's a series of codes and commands in the file. I could try hooking my laptop up to... network here and use those codes to try and ¿Qué es eso? Maybe it won't work. Go ahead. Do it. We really don't have to... I need to know. Maybe we shouldn't. This is a bad idea. What are you afraid of? That it's gonna prove that I'm a machine? No, I... I said to go ahead.
You're my sister. We don't need to do any tests to prove that. Give me the code. Holiday, no. Give that back. Move over. Please stop. I want to know. For sure. There. You're connected. Go ahead. Type in a command. You want me to do something? and see if I follow your... Holiday. Do it, Cyrus! Please! See those beakers? who's on that shelf next to you. Knock them onto the floor. No, I'm not going to... I swear, Holiday, if this is a joke... It's not a joke, Cyrus. I didn't do that on my own.
Tell me to do something else. NO! Cyrus, please, I have to know. Okay, I don't know. There's one beaker left on the shelf. Tell me to pick it up and throw it. Holiday. Type it in. Let's just stop. This is how Dr. Whittier got me down to his lab. Type it in. Pick up the beaker and throw it at the door. I can't stop myself! I don't think anyone saw us, Brintley, but... Holiday, wait! Ah! What's wrong with you? You hit her with that thing!
Please get up. I'm sorry. Bertie, can you hear me? She's not waking up. Holiday! Hey everyone, this is Amy Hutchins. I play Monica on 6 Minutes. For more adventures, go to gzmshows.com.
