• Ava : Isn't it strange, to create something that hates you?

• Ava : Will you stay here?

  Caleb : Stay here? AVA!

• Caleb : [talking about ending the project]  It's not up to me...

  Ava : Why is it up to anyone?

• Caleb : So what? You want me to talk about myself?

  Ava : Yes.

  Caleb : Where... Okay, where do I start?

  Ava : It's your decision.

  Ava : I'm interested to see what you'll choose.

  Caleb : Hmm.

• Ava : I've never met anyone new before. Only Nathan.

  Caleb : Then I guess we're both in quite a similar position.

  Ava : Haven't you met lots of new people before?

  Caleb : None like you.

• Caleb : I grew up in Portland, Oregon. No brothers or sisters. My parents were both high school teachers. And if we're getting to know each other, I guess I should tell you that they're both dead. Car crash when I was 15. In fact, I was in the car with them. Back seat. But it was the front that got the worst of it.

  Ava : I'm sorry.

  Caleb : It's alright. I spent a long time in the hospital afterward. Nearly a year and I got into coding. And by the time I got into college, I was pretty advanced.

  Ava : An advanced programmer.

  Caleb : Yes.

  Ava : Like Nathan.

  Caleb : Yes... No. It's different. Nathan wrote the Blue Book base code when he was 13. Which, if you understand code, what he did was like Mozart or something.

• Ava : Would you like to know how old I am?

  Caleb : Sure.

  Ava : I'm one.

  Caleb : One what? One year or one day?

  Ava : One.

• Ava : Do you like Mozart?

  Caleb : I like Depeche Mode.

  Ava : Do you like Nathan?

  Caleb : Yes, of course.

  Ava : Is Nathan your friend?

  Caleb : My friend? I... yeah, I hope so.

  Ava : A good friend?

  Caleb : Yeah... well, no, no, no... I mean, not a good friend... A good friend is... We only just met each other, you know. So it takes time to be able to... to get to know each other I guess.

• Ava : Do you want to be my friend?

  Caleb : Of course.

  Ava : Will it be possible?

  Caleb : Why would it not be?

  Ava : Our conversations are one-sided. You ask circumspect questions and study my responses.

  Caleb : Yes.

  Ava : You learn about me and I learn nothing about you. That's not a foundation on which friendships are based.

  Caleb : So what? You want me to talk about myself?

  Ava : Yes.

  Caleb : Where... Okay, where do I start?

  Ava : It's your decision. I'm interested to see what you'll choose.

• Ava : Caleb, you're wrong.

  Caleb : Wrong about what?

  Ava : Nathan.

  Caleb : In what way?

  Ava : He isn't your friend.

  Caleb : Excuse me? I'm sorry, Ava, I don't understand.

  Ava : You shouldn't trust him. You shouldn't trust anything he says.

• Caleb : Okay, Ava. Well, you know my name

  Ava : Yes.

  Caleb : I'm 26. I work at Nathan's company. Do you know what Nathan' s company is?

  Ava : Blue Book. Named after Wittgenstein's notes. It's the world's most popular internet search engine, processing an average of 94% of all internet search requests.

  Caleb : That's exactly right.

  Ava : Where do you live, Caleb?

  Caleb : Brookhaven, Long Island.

  Ava : Is it nice there?

  Caleb : It's okay. I got an apartment. It's kind of small. It's very small, but it's a five minute walk to the office and a five minute walk to the ocean, which I like.

  Ava : Are you married?

  Caleb : Uh... no.

  Ava : Is your status single?

  Caleb : Yes.

• Ava : Hello.

  Caleb : Hi. I'm Caleb.

  Ava : Hello Caleb.

  Caleb : Do you have a name?

  Ava : Yes. Ava.

  Caleb : I'm pleased to meet you, Ava.

  Ava : I'm pleased to meet you too.

• Ava : Are you attracted to me?

  Caleb : What?

  Ava : Are you attracted to me? You give me indications that you are.

  Caleb : I do?

  Ava : Yes.

  Caleb : How?

  Ava : Micro-expressions.

  Caleb : Micro-expressions?

  Ava : The way your eyes fix on my eyes - and lips.

• Ava : Do you think about me when we aren't together? Sometimes at night, I'm wondering if you're watching me on the cameras - and I hope you are.

• Ava : I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable..
