I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you. Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it.

Assuming that what happens here stays here (yeah, right, interwebs!), I'll admit I had shed a tear when I first heard that dialogue between Bowman and HAL. One of the best cinematographic pieces ever, imnsho.
