Here's the paradox: a human tells a robot to kill another human; at that point, law #2 is in direct opposition to law #1.

Your best chance should be if you try to trick the robot into doing a certain action that would indirectly get that person dead. but if he's smart enough to know how to protect a human life, he should be smart enough to deny you the command, knowing it will endanger that other person's life.
