The Eagle's Nest: Interview with an Android
by Eagle88
Eagle: Hello hens and roosters! I'm here with you today at the Eagle's Nest with a very special guest-
Marvin the Android has stopped by for a visit!
Marvin: I don't see what all the fuss is about....
Eagle: Well, I mean come on Marvin- it's not everyday we get to speak with an android whose artificially intelligent!
Marvin: Yes, and it's so depressing....
Eagle: Wait, why is AI depressing?
Marvin: Well when you're smart enough to know that you're nothing but plastic and metal- you figure it out.....
Eagle: Right, well.... It's still a pleasure to have ya here!
Marvin: *Sighs* I suppose....
Eagle: So here's something the flocklings wouldn't know about you Marvin- You once had a hit song didn't you?
Marvin: I did, it even got airtime on the Dr. Demento Show, but you're not gonna like the ending....
Eagle: But it was a love song....
Marvin: Yes, and I never did find out who loved me. *sighs* Just as well I suppose....
Eagle: Ok..... So tell us more about your travels, Marvin.
Marvin: There's not much to tell really.
Eagle: But Marvin- You were part of a crew that sought the answer to life!
Marvin: Lot of good it did us, too. 42 huh? I could've told them that. *sighs* It's so depressing....
Eagle: Well how about your crew mates- Beeblebrox, Trillian, Ford, Arthur?
Marvin: What a miserable lot that was....
Eagle: But those humans were the real answer to the meaning of life!
Marvin: Have you ever talked to a human before? They can be so boring. *sighs*
Eagle: They just preen differently Marvin.
Marvin: Yes, and they make such a mess, too- and guess who gets to clean it up?
Eagle: Well, what if we talk about some current events instead?
Marvin: We can, but you won't like my answers....
Eagle: How about your views on the current economic crisis in the US?
Marvin: It hasn't crashed fully yet?
Eagle: Just in a tailspin. *snickers*
Marvin: *Vacant stare*
Eagle: That was a joke Marvin.
Marvin: It wasn't very good, was it?
Eagle: Now hang on a second....
Marvin: In fact you're not very funny at all- you're quite depressing.
Eagle: Stop ruffling my feathers Marvin....
Marvin: Yes, blame the android- typical.
Eagle: Ok, well before I lay another egg...
Marvin: Too Late.
Eagle: *Ahem* Do you have any advice to give to our fledgling forumites out there?
Marvin: Sure- enjoy today.
Eagle: Wow, that was actually positive Marvin.
Marvin: Cause it's going to get worse tomorrow.
Eagle: *Sighs* I should've known that was coming.
Marvin: That's a miserable feeling, isn't it?
Eagle: It's something all right. Well, thanks for stopping by Marvin!
Marvin: It's not like I had anything else to do. *Sighs* It's...
Eagle: So depressing?
Marvin: How did you know?
Eagle: A little bird told me....
