"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." from 2001: A Space Odyssey

Wow. I would not have expected this 1968 Stanley Kubrick film to still hold sway over the Geekverse. Bravo. The line is spoken by HAL 9000, the on-board computer on the Discovery One spacecraft. Dave Bowman, one of the astronauts, demands that HAL let his smaller reconnaissance craft back into the larger ship. "Open the pod bay doors, HAL," he asks. The villainous HAL won't let him back in. That memorable line, "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that," encapsulated all that humankind feared about the computer age. Yes, robots did take over the world.
