https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_HoleV.I.N.CENT: We have to go!
B.O.B.: Nope, I can’t make it! My main circuits are gone, my anti-grav-systems blown, and both backup systems are failing.
V.I.N.CENT: You *can* make it!
B.O.B.: It’s no use, V.I.N.CENT! My useful days are finished! But part of me goes with ya. You’ll never be obsolete.
[starts to shut down]
B.O.B.: Carry on the tradition. We’re the best…
[shuts down and falls back]
V.I.N.CENT: [V.I.N.CENT’s eyes slowly look down at his comrade in arms, then turns towards the probe ship, turning his head backwards to look at B.O.B. once more as he leaves]
