Alquist

I have told you to find human beings!

Second Robot

There are none left!

Alquist

I told you to search in the wilderness, upon the mountains. Go and search!
[He returns to his book.]

Fourth Robot

We have sent ships and expeditions without number. They have been everywhere in the world. And now they return to us. There is not a single human left.

Alquist

Not one? Not even one?

Third Robot

None but yourself.

Alquist

And I am powerless! Oh—oh—why did you destroy them?
