"Michael, why do you always have hamburgers and french fries as a meal? You realize there are more nutritious foods for you to consume. I never see you, for example, eat a vegetable." KITT discusses with Michael as the latter eats his lunch inside KITT's cabin.
"I do eat vegetables, KITT. See these french fries? They are potatoes. Ketchup is mainly tomatoes. You can't say I don't eat my vegetables." Michael points out, smiling.
"Really, Michael. Your so-called potatoes in the form of french fries have so much salt and fat in them. I'm amazed you're as slim as you are. The tomatoes in the form of ketchup have high levels of sugar." KITT points out, not correcting his all-too-human partner in reality, that tomatoes are fruits.
"You don't know what you're missing, Pal. Mmmm, this burger is delicious, and so are the fries." Michael continues eating his meal.
The AI sighs, and a low whistle is inside the cabin. "I'm not missing anything, Michael. Besides, I have no taste buds."
"Too bad," Michael adds more ketchup to his french fries before resuming to eat them.
"Michael, be careful! No ketchup on my steering wheel!" KITT reminds his sometimes careless driver.
"Nag!" Michael laughs briefly before taking another bite of his burger.
"Nag? I do- not- nag!" KITT objects.
"Do too! That's ok, Buddy. If you didn't, I would think something's seriously wrong with you." Michael said affectionately.
"What do you mean, Michael? I don't understand." KITT replies, puzzled.
"When you nag me about my food choices or not to spill ketchup on your steering wheel, it's very much like the times you protect me from harm, Pal," Michael explains before eating another french fry.
"Michael?" KITT stops, unsure what to say next.
Michael smiles this time with a wink. "You're always looking out for me whether it's about my meals, am I'm getting enough sleep, my stress levels, or preventing me from getting shot, run over, things like that. I know it's more than your programming, Pal. It's something called friendship, even love, and I love you for that - Never change, Partner."
"Thank you, Michael. I do love you, but I wish you eat more vegetables." KITT said warmly.
