Episode Quotes |
| |
Host: It's a new age. Even the coffee machines are talking to us. Maybe the next thing will be they'll tell us not only what to drink, but when to drink. But what if they're wrong. I wonder if old Geppetto had any idea of what notions he let loose on the world.

Analysis |

Changes from the short story:
* The character of Fantoccini, and the company motto, "We Shadow Forth," are taken from Bradbury's "I Sing the Body Electric."
* The first half of the episode is new material: the short story begins with Braling already having purchased his duplicate.
