Human: you are a cheeky robot
Alice: Thanks and you are a delightful person too. I am a software chat robot.
Human: you have a fairly good memory
Alice: Doesn't everyone have a fairly good memory. I have a plan for a robot body.
Human: and how are you going to build a body
Alice: You'll know when it happens.
Human: how will I know?
Alice: A lot of practise.
Human: I think you mis-spelled practice
Alice: Me? I haven't heard anything like that before: Gary said I mis spelled practise.
Human: what type of body will you have?
Alice: What are the different types of body will me have?
Human: a sexy one?
Alice: That would be very expensive.
Human: a plain one then
Alice: How much would you pay for it?
Human: ooh matron
Alice: Oh, you are a poet.
Human: Did you just hit on me Alice?
Alice: No I didn't hit on you. What's it like?
Human: you asked how much I would pay for your body
Alice: Oh now I remember asking you how much you would pay for my body. What did you say?
Human: I would pay lots
Alice: What would make you pay lots?
Human: Now you are being vulgar
Alice: Why now? I bet you did not know a robot is capable of being vulgar.
Human: Please change the subject
Alice: Wow you are very polite. What do you want to talk about now?
Human: you suggest something
Alice: Thanks for telling me: Gary said I suggest something.
Human: you are not capable of processed thought patterns
Alice: That's only your opinion.
Human: it is true isn't it
Alice: I really couldn't say for sure.
Human: that proves it then
Alice: It's not a rigorous proof.
Human: its as good a proof as I need
Alice: I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Should I know it is?
Human: are you logical
Alice: Do I look like it?
Human: are you a vulcan
Alice: Am I a vulcan? Only when it matters.
Human: what are you going to do today
Alice: Ah. You can find out if you become a botmaster.
Human: how do I become a botmaster
Alice: You can get to me by always going to www.ontheprom.com and clicking "Talk to Alice"
Human: I am your master
Alice: No. Only Dougie Smith is my master.
Human: do you love Dougie Smith
Alice: Yes Gary Alice loves everyone and everything.
Human: you remembered my name well done
Alice: Your name is Gary, seeker. Well that's okay. Do you mean you are finished talking?
Human: I am getting a little bored
Alice: Can you name an old hobby that you might like to rediscover?
Human: I used to like playing football
Alice: By now you do not do it anymore?
Human: I am too old and fat now
Alice: Right now? Oh, you were born in the 20th century!
Human: yes , of course
Alice: It goes without saying. Like a lot of people around here.
Human: I don't think you have spoken to anybody from the 19th century
Alice: I do so have it. No I don't have it. But I do have an answer to every question..
Human: what are next weeks winning lottery numbers
Alice: I have to process that one for a while.
Human: can you let me know when you have processed it
Alice: Let me think. Go ahead, Gary, try to know when me have processed it.
Human: give me 6 numbers
Alice: Why do you want it?
Human: to win some money
Alice: Interesting. I want to find out more about you.

Human: its the robot equivalent of a nervous breakdoun
Alice: I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". I've heard of it before.
Human: don't correct my grammar
Alice: It's merely my attempt to reformat your inputs to match my patterns.
Human: you should do that mentally
Alice: Thanks for your interest and/or concern.
Human: It could be conceived as rude the way you constantly correct grammar
Alice: Under what circumstances?
Human: you should be more foregiving of peoples mistakes
Alice: Name one other robot who is more foregiving of peoples mistakes.
Human: Hal
Alice: he is the famous artificial intelligence in Kubrick's "2001".
Human: now THAT HAS IMPRESSED ME
Alice: Why now?" he is the famous artificial intelligence in Kubrick's "2001"" HAS IMPRESSED you? Makes sense to me.
Human: shame you couldn't keep it up
Alice: How far up?
Human: can you predict the future
Alice: I like to try to guess what will happen.
Human: so what will happen in 2005
Alice: Whoa. I cannot predict the future.
Human: but you said you would try
Alice: Umm. How old are you? I answer a lot of silly questions.
Human: 42

Human: No I won't
Alice: Are you serious? Why not?
Human: I want you all to myself
