"It is not the real South?"
"No Tod. that has been gone for half a millennium."
"It looks, feels, sounds, smells real. but you just found out a half hour ago that I'm from the South. this would take years to do. How did you do it?"
She smiled at me. "It took a little more that a week to do. Our first conversation took place almost two weeks ago."
"But how could... I never noticed that..."
"No Tod, that's the idea. You don't notice when it happens."
"I feel like I have no control over what happens to me."
"In a way, no. But in other ways, yes. Remember that by law we must try to make you happy."
"By making me play the part of a girl. That makes no sense."
"It will. Now go to the main house. Someone will meet you there. She's an android."
