Drop your weapons. You are under arrest.
Vincent Moore is a former soldier.
The problem with artificial intelligence is it's way too unpredictable.
The scouts' creator, Dion Wilson, sees a rich future.
What interests me is a machine that can think and feel.
I have a robot that is operated by a thinking human being.
We don't want this...
It's expensive, it's big and it's ugly.
The scouts are a huge success.
Stop worrying about these pet projects.
I think I've cracked it!
This is a new kind of life form, a new step in evolution!
That's it!
Come!
You are Chappie.
Chappie!
It's like a child.
It has to learn.
What's that? Chappie's book?
Yeah. It's yours.
Chappie's got stories! Chappie's got a book!
Anything you want to do in your life, you can do.
Write poetry, have original ideas -
Chappie wants to paint!
Wow...
What in the name of the lord...?!
Your little robot's a big problem for me.
A thinking robot could be the end of mankind!
Destroy that robot.
Burn it to ASH.
There's something of great danger headed our way NOW.
I don't want to die. I want to live.
You want to survive, Chappie?
You must FIGHT.
It's mayhem downtown as police have begun shutting down!
You hurt my people!
You think you're real...
You won't get away with this!
He's special!
I am consciousness.
I am alive.
I am Chappie.
