WESTWORLD S01E02 | THE NEW WORLD| Thandie Newton| James Marsden| Angela Sarfyan| Luke Hemsworth

Every robot has a role to play, and Maeve has been cast as the madam at the Sweetwater brothel—but apart from seducing the guests and sucking down cheap sherry, her main function seems to be delivering a showstopper of a speech to guests who aren't fully embracing the Westworld experience. "You can hear it, can't you? That little voice," Maeve says to any guests that happen to be in earshot. "The one that's telling you, 'Don't. Don’t stare too long. Don't touch. Don't do anything you might regret. I used to be the same. Whenever I wanted to do anything, I could hear that voice telling me to stop. To be careful. To leave most of my life unlived." By the time Maeve speaks that line, the guests should already be on the hook. And by the time she reaches the climax—"This is the new world, and in this world, you can be whatever the fuck you want"—the seduction should be complete.
