- Automan: For the first time, I realize what's been missing in my life.
  Walter: What's been missing?
  Automan: Lust, Walter. Passion. Ruthlessness. Deceit. I'm missing the struggle for life's most worthy goals - power and romance.
  Walter: What have I done?
  Automan: Choruses of angels. Midnight rendezvous. Burning desires!
  Walter: Yeah, yeah, Auto, Auto! I get the picture.
  Automan: Walter, I've been in your world for close to six months and I still haven't fallen in love!
  Walter: You don't understand. You're a hologram. You're not even real.
  Automan: Neither are the people in soap operas and they fall in love every twenty minutes!
