• Dr. Andrei Smyslov : Dr. Floyd, at the risk of pressing you on a point you seem reticent to discuss, may I ask you a straightforward question?

  Dr. Floyd : Well, certainly.

  Dr. Andrei Smyslov : Quite frankly, we have had some very reliable intelligence reports that quite a serious epidemic has broken out at Clavius, something apparently of an unknown origin. Is this in fact what has happened?

  Dr. Floyd : Ehm, sorry Dr Smyslov, but, er, I'm really not at liberty to discuss this.

  Dr. Andrei Smyslov : I understand. But this epidemic could quite easily spread to our Base, we should be given all the facts, Dr. Floyd.

  Dr. Floyd : Yes, I know. As I said, I'm not at liberty to discuss it.
