Dear HAL,

I play your movie over and over. You’re amazing, your acting abilities make me love you more. I listen to your voice at night, it rocks me to sleep. I lay a picture of you on a special pillow just for you next to mine and sleep soundly; I feel safe with you near.

I know you’re a busy Hollywood star, and probably don’t have much time for someone like myself. But it would mean a lot if you would record an answering machine message for me. Pretty Please?

Here’s what I have in mind:

Hello, you’ve reached HAL, Daisy’s new astronaut boyfriend. Daisy’s not available right now, she’s checking on her sleeping roommates. Leave a message after the song. “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do! I’m half crazy all for the love of you!”

Then beep! What do you think? I’ve included a tape recorder and money for return shipping.

Please HAL, it would mean so much to me.

Your 9000th fan,

Daisy Bell.
