   In this scene of #PLUTO, the blind musician Duncan asks his robot butler:

   何人殺した？
   nan-nin koroshita?
   How many people did you kill?

     The butler politely replies that "Robot Laws forbid me from harming humans":

     ロボット法により
     人間を傷つけることは
     禁じられています

     robotto hou ni yori
     ningen o kizutsukeru koto wa
     kinji rarete imasu

     Duncan: "How many robots did you destroy?"

     何体のロボットを破壊した?
     nan-tai no robotto o hakai shita?

     This time, instead of 何人 (nan-nin) = how many people, Duncan uses 何体 (nan-tai) = how many bodies.

     I would have expected 何台 (nan-dai, how many machines), but I guess dead robots are bodies too 🙂
