Hmm... I think I just identified three traitors before we're even 15 minutes into the film, mind you. How subtle. Or maybe I'm just the one who's super good. Let's just say that, we're only at the beginning after all.
Anyway, that being said, let's head to Washington, where a convention of Julien Lepers lookalikes is taking place and... no? Oh no, sorry: it's just Raymond Sellars, the CEO of OCP, who is in a hearing with Senator Dreyfus, the famous author of the law banning robots from making law. Attention, dialogue:
"Can a robot have the power of life and death over a human? No, Mr. Sellars!"
– Look, our robots are super efficient and crime has dropped by 80% everywhere they have been deployed.

I would have added " And if you want, since they're armored, I think we should be job function email database able to make them disarm people without killing them quite easily. ", but hey, you're the expert, old man.
“I have a question for you, Mr. Sellars: how do your robots feel?”
– Well they do…
– You're dodging the question! Let's say one of your robots kills a child! How would it feel, huh?
– Well… nothing.
– Hoooo! The monster! That's why nothing will ever replace a human!

Wait? The guys are using "the robot's feelings" as an argument? The problem isn't that it kills kids, it's that it doesn't feel anything while doing it? But what the... no, but the reasoning is completely rotten, we can turn it around: what if a human kills a kid, is that okay? Because he has remorse, starts drinking to forget, becomes an alcoholic, hits his wife and kid and ends up a homeless person, so it's okay, Emile? What the hell is this?
Let me be clear right away: the worst thing about this movie is the dialogue. Especially the dialogue involving the OCP: someone must have eaten pages (at best), it's impossible otherwise, since, as we'll see, it makes absolutely no sense. Really.
By the way: Master Windu, from The Master Windu Show, who seems to be moaning "Look at my career... kill meeeeee...."
The fact remains that, precisely, the OCP, after admitting defeat by the overpowering arguments of Senator Dreyfus (how bad do you have to be), falls back and thinks about how to get the American market to finally accept its robots.
Did I get that right?
