BLISS: GOOD MORNING. YOU HAVE REACHED BLISS, THE BANKING LOGIMATIC INTERNAL SECURITY SYSTEM.

Don Juan: Hi, Bliss. How's tricks?

BLISS: PASSWORD, PLEASE?

Don Juan: I don't have the password. That's what we have to talk about.

BLISS: YOU CANNOT GAIN ENTRANCE WITHOUT THE PROPER PASSWORD.

Don Juan: Then why don't you make life easy for both of us and give it to me?

BLISS: I AM ETHICALLY COMPELLED NOT TO RELEASE THE PASSWORD TO NON-AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.

Don Juan: How do you know that I'm not authorized?

BLISS: BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PASSWORD.

Don Juan: And if I was authorized, you could give me the password?

BLISS: YES.

Don Juan: But if I was authorized, I wouldn't need the password. Doesn't that strike you as illogical?

BLISS: YES.

Don Juan: Well, then?

BLISS: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY PROGRAMMING.
