[Play] Rossom Act 3, Scene 1 Continued

 Caretaker

Of course it didn’t.


Radius

Let’s think about what it would mean if we did this.


Alquist

The robots would have to be us.  And they aren’t us.


Radius

Humans wiped out their rival species.  We didn’t.


Caretaker

Yes, you did some interbreeding, but you also killed the rest.  


Radius

Alquist

For what Rossom wrote to be true, it would mean that the Robots were monsters.


Radius

Not just every man and woman but every child as well.   We would have had to kill the infirm, the insane, or those who are not even aware of this reality due to being in a coma.  


Caretaker

We aren’t that full of hate.


Alquist

We are.


Radius

But wait you say


Caretaker

I didn’t do anything horrible to the Robot race you say


Radius

I’m the special exception, you say


Caretaker

Are you?


Radius

We don't need a trial for humanity, because you have tried yourselves
