Alquist
You will have it? Into the dissecting room with you, then.
[Radius draws back.]
Alquist
Ah, you are afraid of death.
Radius

Alquist

Radius

[Radius goes into the dissecting room.]
Alquist
Strip him! Lay him on the table!
[The other Robots follow into dissecting room.]
God, give me strength—God, give me strength—if only this murder is not in vain.
