An old man named Brandt sits with his young granddaughter at a bar. They observe a robot, Jack, get into a fight with a drunk. Jack proclaims that he’ll live forever. The drunk brushes him off and leaves. Brandt calls Jack over to his table and asks him about his intention to be immortal. Jack maintains that he will be, but Brandt points out how technology inevitably deteriorates, and that, most likely, Jack won’t even get to be as old as Brandt currently is. Jack accepts Brandt’s depressing conclusion.  Along with Brandt’s granddaughter, they verbally imagine the type of robot that would make it to the future: a woman who would even survive the collapse of civilization. Jack eventually leaves, thanking Brandt and his granddaughter for the conversation. As he walks away, he sees the granddaughter eating bits of a napkin soaked in wine, and he realizes that she is precisely the immortal robot they were all imagining.
