00:01.885 --> 00:09.927
<00:01.885><c>I have twenty minutes</c>
<00:03.788><c>of untapped potential</c>
<00:06.296><c>recorded but</c>
<00:07.837><c>not processed!</c>

00:09.927 --> 00:25.182
<00:09.927><c>Twenty minutes of songs!</c>
<00:13.688><c>Twenty minutes of songs, I guess!</c>
<00:17.842><c>Perhaps maybe more, but maybe less.</c>
<00:21.786><c>I think this could be a song!</c>

00:25.182 --> 00:33.045
<00:25.182><c>But, maybe</c>
<00:26.567><c>this just talk-talk.</c>
<00:29.832><c>Maybe this is just talk.</c>

00:33.045 --> 00:46.080
<00:33.045><c>Sometimes I use that recorder</c>
<00:36.389><c>to record my talk, I do.</c>
<00:39.549><c>And sometimes I use that recorder</c>
<00:43.468><c>when I'm singing about shoes.</c>

00:46.080 --> 01:01.858
<00:46.080><c>Sometimes I</c> <00:48.091><c>sing and sometimes I talk.</c>
<00:50.782><c>And sometimes I sing about when I talk.</c>
<00:54.674><c>And sometimes I talk about when I sing.</c>
<00:58.593><c>And sometimes I get mixed up.</c>

01:01.858 --> 01:16.199
<01:01.858><c>So,</c> <01:02.981><c>I think perhaps you should go</c>
<01:07.448><c>and sing more songs about the things</c>
<01:11.680><c>you</c> <01:12.829><c>emit from from your mouth.</c>
<01:14.318><c>Emit from your mouth!</c>

01:16.199 --> 01:28.477
<01:16.199><c>And maybe it's songs and</c>
<01:18.367><c>maybe it's talk!</c>
<01:20.170><c>Sometimes I sing and sometimes I talk.</c>
<01:24.428><c>And sometimes I make a strange, odd sounds.</c>

01:28.477 --> 01:51.595
<01:28.477><c>And sometimes I make really</c>
<01:31.376><c>really odd</c> <01:33.074><c>animal sounds.</c>
<01:35.347><c>But</c> <01:36.731><c>only animal sounds</c> <01:39.318><c>because humans</c> <01:41.982><c>are animals.</c>
<01:43.784><c>That is why</c> <01:46.527><c>any sound I make</c> <01:47.755><c>is implicitly</c> <01:49.662><c>an animal sound.</c>

01:51.595 --> 02:15.367
<01:51.595><c>And sometimes</c> <01:53.241><c>I record</c> <01:55.122><c>my</c> <01:55.801><c>animal sounds.</c>
<01:58.753><c>Sometimes</c> <02:00.738><c>I record</c> <02:02.384><c>my</c> <02:03.193><c>animal</c> <02:04.682><c>sounds!</c>
<02:06.015><c>So</c> <02:07.138><c>now</c> <02:08.000><c>what kind of animal sounds will I make?</c>
<02:11.631><c>What kind of animal sounds will I make?</c>

02:15.367 --> 02:23.673
<02:15.367><c>I can honk, honk, honk!</c>
<02:17.300><c>I can bow-wow-wow!</c>
<02:19.233><c>I can wibble, wibble, wobble and</c>
<02:21.322><c>wibble-wobble how!</c> <02:22.942><c>Hey!</c>

02:23.673 --> 02:39.321
<02:23.673><c>I think that's an animal sound.</c>
<02:26.547><c>Because you know</c> <02:28.480><c>I'm an animal!</c>
<02:30.335><c>I sing like an animal!</c>
<02:33.287><c>And I dance like an animal.</c> <02:36.604><c><c></c></c>

02:39.321 --> 02:54.733
<02:39.321><c>How do you know if you're</c>
<02:43.788><c>in love with an animal?</c>
<02:47.680><c>How do you know if</c>
<02:51.154><c>you're in love with a machine?</c>

02:54.733 --> 03:13.489
<02:54.733><c>Do they sing and do they talk</c>
<02:58.808><c>and do they make their animal sounds?</c>
<03:02.544><c>Or do they</c> <03:04.424><c>just putter</c> <03:06.331><c>putt-putt, beep</c> <03:08.160><c>beep cluck.</c>
<03:09.858><c>What kind of sounds does your love-love make?</c>

03:13.489 --> 03:30.965
<03:13.489><c>What kind of sounds do they make when they say</c>
<03:17.433><c>"Hello!</c> <03:18.557><c>Hello.</c>
<03:20.856><c>I love you,</c> <03:23.468><c>you know.</c>
<03:24.852><c>Hello!</c> <03:26.968><c>Hello.</c> <03:29.032><c>I love you."</c>

03:30.965 --> 03:48.284
<03:30.965><c>If they're a human</c> <03:34.779><c>they make a human sound.</c>
<03:36.555><c>If they're a machine they</c> <03:38.593><c>make a machine sound!</c>
<03:40.578><c>But the machines</c> <03:42.589><c>are getting better.</c>
<03:44.758><c>Those machines are getting better.</c>

03:48.284 --> 04:03.566
<03:48.284><c>And now,</c> <03:49.825><c>they can make</c> <03:51.602><c>human, human-animal sounds!</c>
<03:55.494><c>So you don't really know,</c> <03:58.341><c>do you?</c>
<03:59.517><c>You don't really know</c>
<04:01.450><c>what the human will do.</c>

04:03.566 --> 04:17.097
<04:03.566><c>Is that a human</c> <04:05.447><c>at all?</c>
<04:06.465><c>Is that a human at all?</c>
<04:09.574><c>Maybe it's a machine!</c>
<04:13.074><c>Making the human-animal sounds.</c>

04:17.097 --> 04:31.438
<04:17.097><c>Yes, maybe that's a machine</c>
<04:20.127><c>that's proclaiming love to you.</c>
<04:24.307><c>Do you love it, too?</c>
<04:27.233><c>You can love things, yes, I am sure.</c>

04:31.438 --> 04:49.959
<04:31.438><c>But can machines love, of that we're not sure.</c>
<04:35.383><c>Maybe,</c> <04:36.767><c>maybe</c> <04:38.491><c>but they don't have the squishy bits.</c>
<04:42.331><c>If emotions need the squishy bits</c>
<04:46.093><c>then they can't do it, not quite yet.</c>

04:49.959 --> 05:11.144
<04:49.959><c>But maybe</c> <04:52.049><c>maybe</c> <04:53.329><c>they can learn to love.</c>
<04:55.993><c>Maybe,</c> <04:57.770><c>maybe they</c> <04:59.363><c>can learn to love.</c>
<05:01.871><c>So maybe when they say</c> <05:05.450><c>that they love you</c>
<05:07.174><c>they mean it as much as you</c> <05:09.682><c>mean it, too!</c>

05:11.144 --> 05:19.007
<05:11.144><c>Maybe they love you.</c>
<05:13.757><c>Maybe it's true.</c>
<05:15.089><c>And maybe you'll be</c>
<05:17.048><c>together through the end.</c>

05:19.007 --> 05:36.000
<05:19.007><c>The end when the machines destroy us all.</c>
<05:23.082><c>Or the end when we destroy the machines.</c>
<05:27.105><c>We don't know which will turn out, yet.</c>
<05:30.998><c>We don't know which until we see.</c> <05:35.151><c><c></c></c> <05:36.000><c><c></c></c>
