Sam Bell: You'd be okay?
GERTY: Of course. The new Sam and I will be back to our programming as soon as I finished rebooting.
Sam Bell: Gerty, we're not programmed. We're people, do you understand?

[Sam is making a video phone call from the Moon to his home on Earth, while covering the camera with his hand]
Eve: Hello?
Sam Bell: Is this the Bell residence?
Eve: This is the Bell residence. Could you call back? There's something wrong with the picture.
Sam Bell: I'm trying to reach Tess Bell.
Eve: I'm sorry, she passed away some years ago.
[long pause]
Sam Bell: Are you sure?
Eve: Yeah, I think so. I'm her daughter. Can I help you?
Sam Bell: ...Eve?
Eve: Yeah.
Sam Bell: Hi! Hi, Eve. How old... How old are you now?
Eve: I'm 15. Do I know you?
Sam Bell: Sweetheart... How did mommy die, sweetheart? How did mommy die?
Eve: [turns around and calls to someone off-screen] Dad!
Dad: Yeah.
Eve: There's someone asking about mom.
Dad: Who's asking about mom?
[Sam immediately breaks off the call]
