I’d take Wall-E over the T-800 any day.

Very much appreciated the comedic tone here. More I think about this the more fired up I get. Helps to laugh about it.

She took the words right out of my mouth. I don’t know why we’re accelerating to this dubious future. I’m a huge fan of science fiction and dystopian novels and these robots are too on the nose for me. Not. Today!

I laughed so hard at this that one of my colleagues came into my office to make sure I was OK. I'll be quoting your wife's line for the forseeable future. Until it IS the day, of course.

As long as there are rules in their programming not to hurt us we should be ok. Wait...
