Alex Murphy:
Holy Christ, there's nothing left.
Dr. Dennett Norton:
Your body may have gone, but you're still here.
Alex Murphy:
That's not even my brain.
Dr. Dennett Norton:
We had to repair the damaged areas, but we didn't interfere with your emotion or your intellect. Do you... do you understand me, Alex? You're... you're in control.
Alex Murphy:
I'm in control?
Dr. Dennett Norton:
Yes.
Alex Murphy:
Okay. If I'm in control, then I wanna die. Just unplug whatever it is keepin' me alive and end this nightmare.
Dr. Dennett Norton:
Now, say I did that - w-which is, as a doctor, would almost be impossible for me, but... but say I did. Wh... w-what do I say to your wife? What does she say to your son?
Alex Murphy:
That it didn't work. That you tried. Somethin' went wrong. You did everything you could, but I died.
Dr. Dennett Norton:
So after all they've been through, all the pain, all their hope restored, we would just rip that away? Your wife loves you, Alex. She signed the consent forms herself; otherwise, you couldn't have undergone the procedure. She loves you and she gave you a second chance. I need you to take it.
Alex Murphy:
I don't wanna see myself like this again. Ever. And the same goes for my family. Just put me back in.
