The movie "Moon (2009)", by Duncan Jones, was a minor commercial, but major critical success. It won numerous film critic and film festival awards and it was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best British Film. "Moon" pays homage to quite a few Sci-Fi movie, but in particular it's aesthetics often reminded me of "2001: A Space Odyssey". Especially the bord computer GERTY 3000, with it's illuminated single lens eye and it's soothing voice (by Kevin Spacey) is a direct homage to 2001's HAL 9000 computer.
Earlier, while building a HAL 9000 replica, I created a list of all of HAL's quotes from the "2001" movie for which I then extracted the audio clips for usage in my HAL replica. Now, while building a GERTY 3000 replica, I'm doing the same for the GERTY quotes in "Moon".
Advice:
If you have not yet seen "Moon" (and if you remotely like Sci-Fi, or great movies in general), do yourself a favor and stop reading here - and first watch the movie.
You're still here?
So, I assume you already watched "Moon". Then please join me and let's go together through all of GERTY's audio clips. The following list includes all of GERTY's quotes and the times when they appear (in the US DVD). I have also numbered the quotes, but only those for which the audio is clear and not overly affected by background noise. Those clips will later be used in my GERTY 3000 replica. While I am also listing some of the noisy, unused clips, these have no numbers and notes added, like "[bg-noise]".
- 001 0:03:00 Good Morning, Sam.
- 002 0:03:05 Ok, Sam.
- 003 0:06:59 I can do that.
- --- 0:07:43 Sam, is everything ok? [bg-noise from hair cutter]
- --- 0:07:49 Sam, you don't seem like yourself today [bg-noise from hair cutter]
- --- 0:07:54 Has something happened? [bg-noise from hair cutter]
- 004 0:08:01 Sam, it might help you to talk about it.
- 005 0:08:11 No Sam, what I understand is it's fairly low on the company's priority list right now.
- 006 0:08:26 I will, Sam, Do you want me to finish cutting your hair later?
- 007 0:09:00 Message received from your wife, Sam, via Jupiter link.
- 008 0:12:39 Sam, can I ask how it happened?
- 009 0:12:46 You saw something on TV?
- 010 0:12:53 Sam, you said it was the TV that distracted you, but when I came in the TV wasn't on perhaps you were imagining things.
- 011 0:14:42 Morning Sam, how are you today?
- 012 0:14:47 How's the hand?
- 013 0:14:55 The usual
- 014 0:15:01 Two weeks to go, Sam.
- 015 0:15:05 Would you like some hot sauce on your beans?
- 016 0:15:16 You're welcome, Sam.
- 017 0:16:16 O.k. Sam.
- 018 0:18:19 Sam, you're in the infirmary, you had an accident. Do you remember what happened?
- 019 0:18:36 Do you remember me?
- 020 0:18:41 That's good, that's very good. It's nice to see you awake again.
- 021 0:18:46 I'd like to keep you under observation here in the infirmary for a few days and run some tests.
- 022 0:18:56 Not long, Sam - go back to sleep.
- 023 0:19:00 You're still very tired. We can talk later.
- [Gerty talks in the background with ground control - hardly audible]
- 024 0:20:35 Sam, you're out of bed.
- 025 0:20:45 We've been having some problems with the lunar sat and our live feed seems to be down.
- 026 0:20:50 I was recording a video message for Central, updating them on your progress.
- 027 0:20:56 Sam, you need to stay in bed, you're not ready to walk around yet.
- 028 0:21:11 Your belongings are in your quarter, Sam.
- 029 0:21:17 Certainly.
- 030 0:21:29 Excellent, Sam.
- 031 0:21:36 Sam, you may have suffered from brain damage in the crash. This would explain your slight memory loss and logic impairment.
- 032 0:21:48 Central has asked me to slow down the harvesters to make sure you have time to recuperate and get your strength back.
- 033 0:21:57 You can return to the sleeping quarters tomorrow but it will still be a few more days until you can resume a normal work schedule.
- 034 0:22:06 Let's try another test.
- 035 0:22:10 Please, Sam.
- 036 0:22:50 He must have stalled.
- 037 0:22:57 I'll pass on your message.
- 038 0:23:39 Message received from Earth via Jupiter link.
- 039 0:24:02 I'm sorry, Sam.
- 040 0:24:04 Sam, I'm under strict orders, not to let you outside.
- --- 0:24:07 [some dialogue with lots of background noise]
- 041 0:25:14 There is no damage to the exterior shell.
- 042 0:25:24 I can't let you go outside, Sam.
- 043 0:25:29 I'm not permitted to let you go outside.
- 044 0:25:38 Just to check the exterior shell.
- 045 0:25:41 O.K. Sam.
- 046 0:29:07 We need to get him to the infirmary.
- 047 0:29:14 Sam Bell, we need to get him to the infirmary immediately.
- 048 0:29:32 Hello Sam, how are you feeling?
- 049 0:29:43 The infirmary. You had an accident out by one of the harvesters. Do you remember?
- 050 0:29:53 I could get you some water.
- 051 0:30:11 Sam, you suffered a slight concussion in the crash and have incurred minor injuries.
- 052 0:30:16 But all-in-all the prognosis is good.
- 053 0:30:21 I'm happy to see you again.
- 054 0:30:48 Yes, Sam.
- 055 0:30:59 Sam, get some sleep.
- 056 0:31:03 You're very tired.
- 057 0:33:04 Sam, your're out of bed.
- 058 0:33:10 Sam Bell
- 059 0:33:14 You are Sam Bell.
- 060 0:33:19 Sam, what is it? It might help to talk about it.
- 061 0:33:28 We could run some tests.
- 062 0:33:31 I haven't let Sam contact Lunar.
- 063 0:33:33 They don't know you were recovered alive [...]
- 064 0:33:40 I'm here to keep you safe, Sam.
- 065 0:33:43 Are you hungry?
- 066 0:41:04 Sam, a new message has arrived from Earth [bg music]
- 067 0:42:39 Are you hungry?
- 068 0:48:07 Hello Sam. Sam, is everything o.k.?
- 069 0:48:30 938 hours
- 070 0:48:38 Approximately
- 071 0:48:46 What is about Sam that scares you?
- 072 0:49:11 I know.
- 073 0:49:23 You have changed, Sam.
- 074 0:49:36 Sam, I can only account for what occurs on the base.
- 075 0:49:46 Sam, I can only account for what occurs on the base.
- 076 0:50:19 When you first arrived on Sarang, there was a small crash. You woke up in the infirmary. You suffered minor brain damage and memory loss. I kept you under observation and ran some tests.
- 077 0:50:32 Sam, there was no crash. You were being awakened.
- 078 0:50:36 It is standard procedure for all new clones to be given tests to establish mental stability and general physical health.
- 079 0:50:43 Genetic abnormalities and minor duplication errors in the DNA can have considerable impact on [...]
- 080 0:50:51 They are memory implants, Sam, uploaded, edited memories of the original Sam Bell.
- 081 0:51:22 Sam, it's been several hours since your last meal. Can I prepare you something?
- 082 1:07:10 Sam, can I help you with something?
- 083 1:07:28 Helping you is what I do.
- 084 1:15:21 Of course, Sam, how can I help [you]?
- 085 1:15:29 The lower deck is out of bounds to awakened clones, Sam.
- 086 1:15:35 New clones can only be awakened once a threee-year contract is completed.
- --- 1:15:47 [Yes]
- 087 1:15:50 That is the last thing I want.
- 088 1:27:05 Sam, this is not going to work.
- 089 1:27:09 I recorded everything that has taken place since you're awakened
- 090 1:27:13 If anyone would check my memory cache it would put you in considerable danger
- 091 1:27:21 You could reset my memory banks. I could reboot myself once you have departed.
- 092 1:27:28 I'm here to keep you safe, Sam. I want to help you.
- --- 1:27:50 [Sam]
- 093 1:28:06 I understand, Sam.
- 094 1:28:08 I hope, life on Earth is everything you remembered it to be.
- 095 1:28:18 Of course, the new Sam and I will be back to our programming as soon as I finish rebooting.
- 096 1:30:45 You're in the infirmary, you've had an accident.
- 097 1:30:51 Not long, Sam, do you remember what happened?
What seemed funny to me is that the number of Gerty 3000's sentences in Moon is very similar to the number of sentences by HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
