| Andrew: What's a brunette between two blondes? Translator Andrew: They die? One feels badly for them.......they die. Sir: Why did the chicken cross the road? Andrew: One does not know, sir. Possibly there was a predator behind the chicken, or, possibly there was a female chicken on the other side, if it was a male chicken. Possibly a food source, or, depending on the season it might be migrating. One hopes there's no traffic. Sir: To get to the other side. Andrew: To get to the other side. Ah, why is that funny? Andrew: People actually do this, sir? The whole process, it sounds so...messy. Andrew: One understands why some animals eat their young. |

| One robot's 200 year journey to become an ordinary man |
|
| When Richard Martin (Sam Neill) introduces a robot named Andrew (Robin) to the family, nobody expects anything more than a ordinary household appliance. But this is no ordinary robot. Andrew is an unique machine with real emotions, a sense of humor and a burning curiosity to discover what it really means to be human. Over the course of his service with the Martins, spanning 200 years and several generations, Andrew discovers much about intricacies of life and love, and finds there are many things he can teach as well as learn. |
