Dr. Emerson: [Dr. Emerson steps into the garden room]
Molly Hartley: Oh, Dr. Emerson. You got my message.
Dr. Emerson: Message?
Dr. Emerson: I-I called you. I left you a message.
Dr. Emerson: No. No message.
Molly Hartley: Then... what are you... doing here?
Dr. Emerson: Well, it's your birthday party. Of course I here. Just a few more minutes now. So how does it feel?
Molly Hartley: How does 'what' feel?
[the whispers start]
Dr. Emerson: Your new life... We're all here for you, Molly. We've watched you grow. We've chosen 'you'.
Molly Hartley: No!
Dr. Emerson: No?
Molly Hartley: [turns to Joseph] You knew all along? You lied to me? You promised to help me!
Dr. Emerson: He is helping you. We're all helping you. You're the 'one', Molly. Don't you know how lucky you are?
Molly Hartley: [in disbelief] Lucky?
Dr. Emerson: You'll have power like no one before you.
Molly Hartley: I didn't choose 'this'!
Dr. Emerson: Your mother and father made that choice for you.
Molly Hartley: They did it to save my life. That is not a choice!
Dr. Emerson: Of course it is. But human weakness has it's consequences. It always has.
[Robert, Molly's father, badly beaten, is dragged into the room; Molly becomes horrified]
Molly Hartley: [gasps] D-Daddy!
Robert Hartley: I'm so sorry, Molly. I didn't-I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
