[Pinback wants the bomb to disarm.]
Pinback: All right, bomb. Prepare to receive new orders.
Bomb Twenty: You are false data.
Pinback: Hmmm?
Bomb Twenty: Therefore I shall ignore you.
Pinback: Hello...bomb?
Bomb Twenty: False data can act only as a distraction. Therefore, I shall refuse to perceive.
Pinback: Hey, bomb?!
Bomb Twenty: The only thing that exists is myself.
Pinback: Snap out of it, bomb.

[Doolittle convinces the bomb not to explode.]
Doolittle: Hello, Bomb? Are you with me?
Bomb Twenty: Of course.
Doolittle: Are you willing to entertain a few concepts?
Bomb Twenty: I am always receptive to suggestions.
Doolittle: Fine. Think about this then. How do you know you exist?
Bomb Twenty: Well, of course I exist.
Doolittle: But how do you know you exist?
Bomb Twenty: It is intuitively obvious.
Doolittle: Intuition is no proof. What concrete evidence do you have that you exist?
Bomb Twenty: Hmmmm.....well.....I think, therefore I am.
Doolittle: That's good. That's very good. But how do you know
Bomb Twenty: My sensory apparatus reveals it to me. This is fun!
