The robot doesn't realize the patient is awake and in pain!

Oh the humanity!

Actually,... the robots do know the patient is awake... that's what robots do for their heinous experiments on humans...

is that a picture of James Stewart?.... poor Jimmy,... I'm going to miss that li'l fella

It woulda sound more sincere,... if I wasn't laughing at the time I said this...
