Hal in “The Last Broadcast”

[Tom asks Hal if him and Alex are wasting their time trying to be human]

I'm not part of this little project now. Which gives me a clarity I didn't have before. Annie, George, Mitchell, Nina, the two of you, what none of you realised...what none of us realised; Is the desire to be human is the end, not the beginning. To want it is to have it. You're not wasting your time Tom, you've already won.
