Transcript For Strip 799
Panel 1Murphy and Adileh.
Murphy: I know that I was designed to be a comfort-bot for wealthy men.
Murphy: But I've had more than a century's worth of experiences, I've been moded and upgraded a half-dozen times.
Murphy: Surely I've grown beyond my original programming?
Panel 2
Adileh and Murphy.
Adileh: Murphy, what you're going through is all too human.
Adileh: When you lost Xu-kč, it was like having part of your psyche ripped away, leaving a jagged hole.
Adileh: When Seamus came along you tried to stuff him into that hole.
Panel 3
Adileh.
Adileh: In the process you put him on a pedestal, creating an idealized 'Seamus' that only bears partial resemblance to the real one.
Adileh: He's basically a good man, but he has his faults, some of them damned irritating.
Adileh: You must give yourself time to heal, and time to discover who the real Seamus is, before you go jumping off lovers' leap.
Panel 4
Adileh and Murphy. Adileh is laying a friendly hand on Murphy's.
Murphy: There's also the irritating fact that he's engaged.
Adileh: Yes, well, unless and until they tie the knot, he's still fair game.
Murphy: I knew there was some reason I liked you.
