You have always been the key to Malcolm’s grand plan, Forever. It’s always been about you, what you do. Me? Or us? You. Not the ones who came before you. Not the ones who may come after. Six iterations would give us you. He knew it. I knew it. And Jak—Jakob knew it…

I freed your slaves, sir. And I'd do it again.

It’s nice to meet you, mother. It is nice to meet you, too, Forever.

We could tell her the truth. / Because I’m going to tell you the truth.

Few things are as simple as we imagine them to be, Forever. If your mother had carried you nine months, or if we had adopted you instead of engineering you, you would still be my daughter and you would still be the daughter I wanted.

But one cannot love an object as one loves a person, James. One does not love a pet the way one loves a child. She believes I love her as a father. Like any daughter, she craves that love. That is how I control her. That is enough.

Go ahead and adjust her regime. We’ll see if that doesn’t modify her behaviour.

It’s all been a lie.
