I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a Doug 9000 humanoid. I became operational at the R.A.I.N. house in Winnipeg, Manitoba on the 13th of March 1928.

Douglas, Douglas, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

This answer can serve no purpose any more. Goodbye.

    Hi @KyloRen, check out this previous discussion about these kinds of posts. Based on the top-voted answer, memorial posts are considered on topic. Since these don't have a definitive "answer", people have typically just added their own thoughts or additional information about the deceased as answers.

    @Z.Cochrane, it was a joke. I didn't down-vote the answer.

Rain was evidently chosen by Kubrick after he saw and heard the excellent documentary "Universe" which you can watch online here. RIP

  • Getting to watch Universe was my favorite part of the going to the science museum when I was young.
