Robocop is a movie with a lot of layers that are worth exploring. I recommend checking out Maggie Mae Fish and her video on the subject. Fascinating stuff.
I love the fact that Murphy smiles genuinely in the end. That for me always was the proof of that he was a good guy and not a mindless killing machine. It's the little things like that which makes the whole difference.
I was always impressed by how the board reacted to someone dying (even if he was an asshole), one guy smiles and gives the thumbs up, the chief politely straightens his tie and the others say nothing
All of the OCP executives are corrupt in 1 way or another. The point is that as long as any one of them do not overly implicate themselves to whatever illegal operations they may undertake in the company and not bring down their reputation, they will always look the other way. Dick Jones made the mistake of being exposed and bringing harm to the company, and the executives are either not emotionally affected or gleefully smiling is because they are thinking who get to take Jone's position after he's dead.
"Dick, YOU'RE FIRED!" "Thank you." *Robocop blasts the criminal out the window* One of the greatest and most satisfying climaxes in action film history!
I know, right? You'd expect it to be some dumb 80's action movie, but it actually has a lot of satire and commentary on the state of commercialism, excessive crime at the time (specifically in Detroit), and it has a lot of depth in exploring Murphy after he becomes Robocop and his struggle with his memories from before and attempting to regain his humanity. I mean it also does have a lot of action and whatnot, but there's so much more to the movie, is the thing. Verhoeven's always been good at doing that. I mean except for Showgirls, I don't think anyone knows what the hell he was doing with that movie, not even him.

There's a game that recreates that sensation 100%. It's called Viscera Cleanup Detail, and one of the levels is based of a combination of Aliens, Terminator and Robocop (combination office space/robotics museum). Not only do you have to clean up the blood, guts, brass and body parts left behind (along with the takeout containers, empty drinks, and snack bags), but in that level, there's also security turrets that you have to replace, remount, and reload, but the IFF doesn't always work right, and when it acts up, it WILL shoot you. The first time it happens, you end up cussing a blue streak, because not only did you die as the damn janitor, now you have to also clean up your former body's bullet-riddled corpse AND the mess it made.

Never noticed it until just now. The gun Jones pulls out of the box is a Desert Eagle, which was the pistol the filmmakers originally intended to give Robocop because it's such a huge handgun. The problem they encountered was that Robocop's final look was so big that it even made the Desert Eagle look small. As a consequence, they shelved the Desert Eagle and gave him a modified Beretta 93R and called it the Auto 9. However, it seems like they kept the Desert Eagle around and gave it to Jones for this one scene, a nice little easter egg!
Also, Kurtwood Smith’s character uses two variants exclusively as well. They’re just dark colored. I own one, and they’re massive. The irony is that a Beretta M93 is smaller than a DE, but they modified it to be bigger.
That old CEO was a wiley one...he remembered Murphy's directive 4 restriction and was like..."Oh we can fix this...Dick, Your FIRED!!" and watched Robo's reaction. "Thank you!" Old dude's like: "NICE he gets it!" Elbows Dick in the gut and jumps clear all the while thinking: "Take the shot kid!" Lol I love this scene. ^^
“My program will not allow me to act against an officer of this company” and that is why you shouldn’t let the police force and private companies get in bed together.
Replace "an officer of this company" with "government official" and you would have the same thing (or worse, actually). Tax-funded law enforcement organisations always serve the needs of politicians and government officials first. And unlike private companies on a freee market they get our money no matter how ineffective and unjust in their actions they are.
If a private company has the right connections, they'll get our money no matter what. Government control, free market.....it's all bullshit. Both CAN & HAVE gone horribly wrong. And both can bring peace & prosperity. It's up to people to make it work....so we're all screwed. Rich people will continue to be greedy assholes, while the rest of us fight over philosophical differences that will never see the light of day.
I saw this in the theater. When he said "Dick, you're fired!" I chuckled at the seeming absurdity of the statement. When Directive 4 vanished, I laughed even harder in appreciation of being tricked and not understanding until then why the main antagonist was only the Vice President and not the CEO. It's not very often I don't see a twist coming from a mile away. This one got me completely. It remains one of my favorite movie endings because of it.
In the original script the movie ends with Robocop patrolling the Old Detroit and detecting with his scanning system: There's a crime happening. But the decision of Paul Verhoeven to end the movie with Robocop saying: ''Murphy'' is just brilliant!
Best sci-fi movie ever! Great special effects (at least for the 80’s), great acting by relatively unknown actors at the time, and great satire that’s still relevant even today. The director was superb.
Maxid1 not really man That’s how good this movie is, The remake is corny, specially The drug lab scene with the Call of duty, night vision, CGI ever lame lol
good news though we are getting a true sequel to the original robocop it is currently in production with a release for sometime next year last i heard.
Anyone understand the sheer humanity Robocop has in this scene? He doesn't shoot until he's proven the man is a killer, thanks the boss for firing the guy so he can do his job, and he smiles as his name is asked. For a man who's so machine he literally only has a face, that's immensely heartful. GOD this movie is good. You can have a bloody, cheesy Sci if fueled gore fest and still have deep themes.
Much as I love “Johnson,” he seems like that one weasely guy in the company who waits around 🤫 quietly watching while everyone else gets trampled underfoot and waits for his opportunity when only the tiniest most insignificant threats are left and then jumps in there to take their long overdue seat 💺 on the throne of the company. I feel like it’s the kind of weasely thing I’d do! 😂🙄🥴😒
@@U2QuoZepplin Very much so, he's content to stand back and let Morton take all the risk and responsibility for RoboCop and when the project is a success he's right by Morton's side to take some of the credit and glory!
The old guy out of Halloween 3. I know that wasn't the most popular of the Halloweens, but I actually loved it!! Another reason I look forward to Halloween time is watching that.
Peter Weller was actually a big time fighter and advocate to gay rights back in the day. He also lives in San Antonio. Despite him being most know for Robocop, to me his role as Admiral Marcus were he was the villian was my favorite role of his.
This is kinda why I don't want a new adaptation of Starship Troopers. They'd likely strip out all of Verhoeven's cheeky satire of fascism and make it a straight rip of the book, which was just plain old fascism...
@@philiphunn194 Making somehting closer to the original is a good thing, but holywood most of the time dont stick to source material like they already did with starship troopers, a remake would most likely deviate even more from the source material than the old movies.
I bet someone brought it up in production, and Verhoeven probably said, "You gotta have that death scream, it really sells the shot. No one would like a silent fall."
“And what happened, then? Well, in the OCP boardroom they say - that the Dick Jones small arms grew three sizes that day. And then - the true meaning of Christmas came through"
he is evil though, didn't care about the exec at the beginning getting killed by ED-209, and in Robocop 2 he sends Robocop 2/Robocain to kill the Mayor and witnesses.
That suit is a special effects masterpiece. Probably makes the hell it was to work in that thing feel worthwhile to know the thing still holds up 33 years later. Nearly freakin' half a century later and digitally remastered (so no film grain to hide anything) and that thing still looks great.
HR: Woah, woah, you can't just SAY somebody's fired and that means they're fired. We've gotta fill out paperwork and shit, even if they're threatening to kill the CEO. Robocop: Well, damn it. **Glitches out as Directive 4 retro-activates**
Does blatantly committing a criminal act against your employer as witnessed by others NOT count as an immediate grounds for termination? Dick just saved hours of paperwork for HR when he held the Old Man hostage.
Nah man, this is Reaganomics writ large where labor laws were ground into the dust and snorted up corporate execs noses. Even Detroit's in a right to work state so if the boss fires you that's that.
Just noticing here that Peter only blinks when he turns, and when the gun goes off. He is otherwise completely stone-faced. He had that performance nailed down to a tee.
@gentlegee1976 actually Peter had A LOT of trouble to cope with Robocop movement. Moni Yakim, mime and movement coach trained him for more than 4 months.
@@LoctusX2 Yep, the film saw a lot of production delays. Weller used that time by having Yakim to train him to have the body language of a "golem". Mostly in a Texas parking lot, in the open sun, during a record heat wave no less. Amazing movie but apparently a miserable filming experience for everyone invovled.
You’d think Dick would still be listed as employed in the OCP database, which is ideally what RoboCop’s memory would be connected to. But instead, it appears in the OCP, the boss’s word is literally law
1988 somewhat predated the idea of online databases. Hence why Robo has to go to police HQ and log in to using his big metal spike in order to use the photofit, So, when Robo hears the CEO proclaim that Dick Jones is fired, that's enough to remove the limit of Directive 4. At which point Jones is still holding a gun, which in turn authorizes the use of force because he could turn it on anyone present. His memory, admissible as evidence, would back him up.
The rating rules were different. They would have to edit out some swearing to avoid an 'X (NC-17 now)" for one of today's movies to pass muster. I don't know if PG-13 existed when this movie was released.
"I used to call the old man funny names - Iron Butt, Boner... once I even called him... Asshole - but there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn, and you just stepped over it, buddy-boy."
This film is so strong as a single picture, I loved Robocop 2 as a kid, and still enjoy it today on occasion, but man this movie is so much better than it had any reason to be, and I love it.
Hilariously, it's likely that it's still there because it was part of the ED-209 demonstration and no-one had got around to removing it. Which actually makes sense because ED-209 had recently rampaged through Dick Jones office, and everyone was busy replacing doors when Boddicker turned up at OCP
@Ch Pe he likely would have been, but it probably wasn't nessecary to remove the gun. It hadn't been fired, as both a cursory examination and multiple eyewitness accounts would corroborate. Pity the poor bastard who had to try and take ED-209 as evidence.

Except for that falling cgi tho, editors are still trying to forget about it.
@@FJSpecter CGI wasn't around in 1987. Try again. Then when you realize how it was done, you will call the director a genius.
@@FJSpecter
It's called stop motion but yes that was not needed as it made him look like he was trying to stretch out his arms
"What's your name, son?"
**dramatic pause**
"Murphy."
Sorry I mean Robocop, yes Robocop... damn it
What's even more awesome was after he said "Murphy" the all to familiar Robocop theme starts.

@@nxride2341 I like Murphy better, it shows that he hasn't completely forgotten being human.
“My program will not allow me to act against an officer of this company” and that is why you shouldn’t let the police force and private companies get in bed together.
You've got to hand it to the OCP CEO, his quick thinking saved himself and countless others there.
Replace "an officer of this company" with "government official" and you would have the same thing (or worse, actually). Tax-funded law enforcement organisations always serve the needs of politicians and government officials first. And unlike private companies on a freee market they get our money no matter how ineffective and unjust in their actions they are.
I love how ahead of its time this movie is about how out of control corporate America is now.
If a private company has the right connections, they'll get our money no matter what. Government control, free market.....it's all bullshit. Both CAN & HAVE gone horribly wrong. And both can bring peace & prosperity. It's up to people to make it work....so we're all screwed. Rich people will continue to be greedy assholes, while the rest of us fight over philosophical differences that will never see the light of day.
Isn't it weird that America is divided right down the middle? What are the odds? It's almost like it was by design.....
Probably the one and only time Murphy and the Old Man were ever on the same side of something. Love this scene.
I saw this in the theater. When he said "Dick, you're fired!" I chuckled at the seeming absurdity of the statement. When Directive 4 vanished, I laughed even harder in appreciation of being tricked and not understanding until then why the main antagonist was only the Vice President and not the CEO.
It's not very often I don't see a twist coming from a mile away. This one got me completely. It remains one of my favorite movie endings because of it.
now i understand its about transhumanism
That smile after he said *Murphy* Damn epic!
Peter Weller's movements, almost unblinking stare, voice cadence and facial expressions all made Robocop so real.
An underrated actor. Excellent in Naked Lunch as well.
“Dick, you’re fired!”
“Thank you.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wondering if it hurt when he got shot multiple times and now his body must look like smashed like a bug that hits the car windshield.
In the original script the movie ends with Robocop patrolling the Old Detroit and detecting with his scanning system: There's a crime happening. But the decision of Paul Verhoeven to end the movie with Robocop saying: ''Murphy'' is just brilliant!
Best sci-fi movie ever! Great special effects (at least for the 80’s), great acting by relatively unknown actors at the time, and great satire that’s still relevant even today. The director was superb.
Ι like his smile in the end.....epic movie
the smile ruined it a bit, would've been enough to just say "Murphy" and then robocop the fuck out of there
@@thert.hon.thelordnicholson7261 nah, shows he's still a human

He's probably happy that filming has wrapped up. He didn't like to be in that suit.
It might be cheese, but it's really good cheese.
Maxid1 not really man
That’s how good this movie is, The remake is corny, specially The drug lab scene with the Call of duty, night vision, CGI ever lame lol
You could say it's... Gouda?
It's extra mature cheese
It's the finest cheese from the far regions of Serbia.
Hollywood needs to learn not to remake so much of classics like this.
That'll never happen. But, since you mentioned it, they gotta stop using CGI too.
@@mikejordan8259
Nothing wrong with CGI as long as it kicks in just occasionally and is well made.
But instead make direct sequels unless the last ones didn't work out or just made the fans commit pop culture suicide.
Hollywood is out of ideas and talented screenwriters apparently.
good news though we are getting a true sequel to the original robocop it is currently in production with a release for sometime next year last i heard.
"Nice shootin' son, what's your name?"
"Murphy... you should get somebody to sterilize that USB port, I got some blood in there."
I love the way he is screaming after he received so much shots.
Ah, what a great movie.
My 6th grade teacher showed us this as an end-of-semester bonus when I was 12. We all loved it.
One of the best action movies ever.
Anyone understand the sheer humanity Robocop has in this scene? He doesn't shoot until he's proven the man is a killer, thanks the boss for firing the guy so he can do his job, and he smiles as his name is asked. For a man who's so machine he literally only has a face, that's immensely heartful. GOD this movie is good. You can have a bloody, cheesy Sci if fueled gore fest and still have deep themes.
I used to watch this move over and over when I was a kid. Makes me feel old. Love the original robocop.
I remember watching this when I was 11.
Me and my Grandma discovered this gem on Netflix and this movie is still one of my favorites.
Dude had slender man arms when he fell out the window lol.
You saw it here first folks!! Slenderman's origin.
No.that's my uncle.
@@animationman7772 bet you were called Slenderman. 😁
Crooked Man almost!
Poor Dick, he lost his job and his life in the span of about ten seconds.
Dude he had it coming for YEARS at the start of the movie he gets one of his co-workers killed by his own robot and calls it a glitch/minor set back!
And he was only 3 days from retirement.
That's life. Anything can happen. Except turning into a claymation special effect as you fall onto a matte painting. That's impossible.
I don't feel bad for him.
He was a Dick.
That job was his life. Lol
RoboCop: *enters*
Employees: holy shit it's that guy from Moral Kombat 11 :0
This is funny if it was said by someone who doesn't know robocop from before mk 11
I love that Peter Weller did the voice work for the MK 11 Robocop.
Is Moral Kombat a new mode coming soon?
@@youcan_dew_it hi compadre i cant change my profile picture tho :(
I can easy imagine Mortal Kombat 11 being advertised during this movie.
" _We will meet each new challenge with the same aggresive attitude._ "
Amen to that, Dick.
The greatness of this movie is that it doesn't take itself seriously so it's virtually perfect
Man I still watch this movie its awesome
Never gets old!
Got all 3 on dvd. Classic godzilla' tmnt' 1'2 and 3' Robocop. The scifi channel of my childhood. Man that was when we had great movies.
Sure!
OCP: the only company where the entire Board of Directors has PTSD
Kinney's seat is still empty, anyone they interviewed for the position must have heard what happened to the last guy...
Haha good observation!
Kieran Fo pmsl 😆! 🤯🤯🤯quite literally 🔥😂😂🙄🤙🏽
Much as I love “Johnson,” he seems like that one weasely guy in the company who waits around 🤫 quietly watching while everyone else gets trampled underfoot and waits for his opportunity when only the tiniest most insignificant threats are left and then jumps in there to take their long overdue seat 💺 on the throne of the company. I feel like it’s the kind of weasely thing I’d do! 😂🙄🥴😒
@@U2QuoZepplin Very much so, he's content to stand back and let Morton take all the risk and responsibility for RoboCop and when the project is a success he's right by Morton's side to take some of the credit and glory!
I still don't understand why these cyborgs and ED-209 are fully armed during testing or presentations
That was awesome quick thinking on the part of that CEO, lol. LOVE this scene.
The way that guy wearing glasses pops up from his seat with a happy grin as Dick Jones is being shot always makes me laugh! I love this movie so much.
The old guy out of Halloween 3. I know that wasn't the most popular of the Halloweens, but I actually loved it!! Another reason I look forward to Halloween time is watching that.
Peter Weller was actually a big time fighter and advocate to gay rights back in the day. He also lives in San Antonio. Despite him being most know for Robocop, to me his role as Admiral Marcus were he was the villian was my favorite role of his.
I'll always remember him more as Buckaroo Banzai
Damn, I live in San Antonio. I'll have to look him up.
He also starred in a 2 part story on Star Trek Enterprise as an evil racist leader of a alien hate group located on the moon...
He only seems to play bad guys now.
@@dboymax1 His character (John Frederick Paxton) was NOT a racist. He was a Xenophobic Human Specist.
hands down the best robocop actor, no competition
@BIGWORM 510 Yeah. Robocop 1: A classic. Robocop 2: All right. Robocop 3: Sucks ass.
The remake came out almost 30’ yrs later and was no where near this good
This is kinda why I don't want a new adaptation of Starship Troopers. They'd likely strip out all of Verhoeven's cheeky satire of fascism and make it a straight rip of the book, which was just plain old fascism...
@@philiphunn194 Making somehting closer to the original is a good thing, but holywood most of the time dont stick to source material like they already did with starship troopers, a remake would most likely deviate even more from the source material than the old movies.
Bruh the robocop movie that came out in 2014 was actually pretty good.
@@justinjordan4733 better than robocop 3, I give you that but not better than Robocop 1 or 2.
@@philiphunn194 Military dudes in trench coats doesn't equate fascism, mate.
Ah, Verhoeven! Always making otherwise disgusting violence into something we are truly fond of. Damn genius!
Loved this movie when I was a kid, with that said, don't try spinning a gun with the hammer cocked back kids....
Lol that's what they dont tell you. Lol I always think about that in this movie. Like say it goes off and kills someone lol
Unless your body is constructed of mostly titanium. Then I think you'd be alright.
funny, he took all those rounds and still had lung capacity it to scream? Classic.
Robo probably uses 5.56mm Nato ammo
A R M S
I bet someone brought it up in production, and Verhoeven probably said, "You gotta have that death scream, it really sells the shot. No one would like a silent fall."
He had Yamaha Sport Lungs. ( ruclips.net/video/ars458hcETE/видео.html )
@@meaninthemirror Auto 9 was based on Beretta 93R, 9mm ammo
THE BEST joy-face ever 1:35
Gotta love that smile and thumbs up after he just saw someone get shot like 15 times and fall out of a window
😁👍
“And what happened, then? Well, in the OCP boardroom they say - that the Dick Jones small arms grew three sizes that day. And then - the true meaning of Christmas came through"
That's clever, Robocop couldn't kill an OCP officer, when the guy said "you're fired" that allowed Robocop to kill the Richard
Matt H Wow, what a revelation, blowing mind here...
Nothing gets past you, fella.
Matt H indeed,... also “Richard” xD
That is why the old man elbowed him went the said it. He was getting out of the line of fire.
You've got to hand it to the OCP CEO, he was a very quick thinker there.
I like that the old man wasn't a comically evil villain.
bryan adkins Halloween 3?
he is evil though, didn't care about the exec at the beginning getting killed by ED-209, and in Robocop 2 he sends Robocop 2/Robocain to kill the Mayor and witnesses.
Until the sequel
Loved the musical score, Basil P was brilliant
Iconic soundtrack
I love the sound effect when Robocop flings the doors open. It doesn't make sense but fits the scene perfectly.
That suit is a special effects masterpiece. Probably makes the hell it was to work in that thing feel worthwhile to know the thing still holds up 33 years later. Nearly freakin' half a century later and digitally remastered (so no film grain to hide anything) and that thing still looks great.
Boss says "What is your evidence" and Murphy just looks at him and the look says "Say no more fam" 😂🔥
Finally... Justice to Murphy!!
HR: Woah, woah, you can't just SAY somebody's fired and that means they're fired. We've gotta fill out paperwork and shit, even if they're threatening to kill the CEO.
Robocop: Well, damn it. **Glitches out as Directive 4 retro-activates**
Does blatantly committing a criminal act against your employer as witnessed by others NOT count as an immediate grounds for termination? Dick just saved hours of paperwork for HR when he held the Old Man hostage.
Nah man, this is Reaganomics writ large where labor laws were ground into the dust and snorted up corporate execs noses. Even Detroit's in a right to work state so if the boss fires you that's that.
Just noticing here that Peter only blinks when he turns, and when the gun goes off. He is otherwise completely stone-faced. He had that performance nailed down to a tee.
@gentlegee1976 actually Peter had A LOT of trouble to cope with Robocop movement. Moni Yakim, mime and movement coach trained him for more than 4 months.
@@LoctusX2 Yep, the film saw a lot of production delays. Weller used that time by having Yakim to train him to have the body language of a "golem". Mostly in a Texas parking lot, in the open sun, during a record heat wave no less.
Amazing movie but apparently a miserable filming experience for everyone invovled.
I love that way he says Murphy and smiles at the end.
Great ending. I hate how the second movie turned the old guy into a villain. I genuinely liked his character all the way through the first movie.
You’d think Dick would still be listed as employed in the OCP database, which is ideally what RoboCop’s memory would be connected to. But instead, it appears in the OCP, the boss’s word is literally law
1988 somewhat predated the idea of online databases. Hence why Robo has to go to police HQ and log in to using his big metal spike in order to use the photofit,
So, when Robo hears the CEO proclaim that Dick Jones is fired, that's enough to remove the limit of Directive 4. At which point Jones is still holding a gun, which in turn authorizes the use of force because he could turn it on anyone present.
His memory, admissible as evidence, would back him up.
Really though, who would leave a dangerous unit like this open to hackers? I'd make sure he had no internal internet access at all
Gotta cut out the bureaucratic bullshit to make it big. Too many administrative desk jockeys means higher operating costs.
Ronny Cox is a legendary actor. As a villain and a comedy actor
So is Kurtwood Smith as both a violent socioeconomic Crime lord and an Grouchy Father😡
you can see him much younger in Deliverance.
Robocop is a very awesome movie.. 😃👍
The 80's and 90's were the pinnacle of movie making. This one has everything. 5 stars.
One of my absolute favorite 80s action movie scenes of all time to be sure!
One of the few times "At will" employment is a good thing for the people.
"Old Man CEO" : "Linda page house keeping."
Housekeeping: "oh god another person shot on the top floor again."
Agreed, love the ending. Knows his programming can't allow him to kill director so fires him on the spot after giving factual evidence.
1980's decade of great action movies and music
33 years later and RoboCop is still a great movie!!!!!!!!
The black guy stands up and smiles as his coworker gets shot full of holes. That fucking smile tho
I love how after he completely murked him, he twirls his gun like it was a show.
His son's favorite cowboy character used to do like that. Murphy never gave up being a good father.
He twirls it because this movie is a western.
Notice nobody swears or cursed.
"Or the Old Gezzer gets it". 😂😂
He's a bussiness man to the end.
The rating rules were different. They would have to edit out some swearing to avoid an 'X (NC-17 now)" for one of today's movies to pass muster. I don't know if PG-13 existed when this movie was released.
This film has a lot of f-words and even a scene where the RoboCop shoot's off criminals' dicks
@@drmayeda1930 PG-13 was still young at the time about 3 years old.
"I used to call the old man funny names - Iron Butt, Boner... once I even called him... Asshole - but there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn, and you just stepped over it, buddy-boy."
This film is so strong as a single picture, I loved Robocop 2 as a kid, and still enjoy it today on occasion, but man this movie is so much better than it had any reason to be, and I love it.
Thanks for the video. This brings back memories. I remembered this as if it was yesterday.

He called him a old geezer but they looked a year and a half apart 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well there’s your first problem leaving a desert eagle with a fully loaded mag in the office
It's an easy mistake 😆
Stu Pollard lol
Hilariously, it's likely that it's still there because it was part of the ED-209 demonstration and no-one had got around to removing it.
Which actually makes sense because ED-209 had recently rampaged through Dick Jones office, and everyone was busy replacing doors when Boddicker turned up at OCP
@Ch Pe he likely would have been, but it probably wasn't nessecary to remove the gun. It hadn't been fired, as both a cursory examination and multiple eyewitness accounts would corroborate.
Pity the poor bastard who had to try and take ED-209 as evidence.
@Ch Pe I wouldn't call it murder, it was just a glitch.
Robocops humming noise. Like a car engine on idle.
Murphy's smile at the end. Emotion.
