Radius

Live bodies—live bodies——

Alquist

You will have it? Into the dissecting room with you, then.
[Radius draws back.]

Alquist

Ah, you are afraid of death.

Radius

I? Why should I be chosen?

Alquist

So you will not.

Radius

I will.
[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.
