How can there be a spoiler for a movie that's almost 30 years old?
Well, the movie was derived from a short story called "The Master",
unknown author, unknown collection. Sorry! The gist of the story is ...
[spoiler]
Ship lands, message is delivered, emissary is shot, robot takes him
inside the ship for temporary revival (this last part I'm not certain
of). The robot comes back out and some earther officials apologize to
Gort, "We're sorry we killed your master". Gort replies, "You don't
understand, I am the master", of course.

More dull trivia. "2001" the movie derives from a short story by Clarke
called the sentinel. Very loosely derives.
