Is love a tool

Jesse Fitzgerald: Jesus Christ, Anna, just tell them.

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: You shut up.

Jesse Fitzgerald: Tell them why we're here. Tell them what we're doing here in court...

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [cuts in] You promised me that you wouldn't do this!

Jesse Fitzgerald: God, you people are so stupid!

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: [shouts] You promised!

Jesse Fitzgerald: Kate wants to die!

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: Stop it!

Jesse Fitzgerald: She's making Anna do all this 'cause she knows she's not gonna survive another operation.

Sara Fitzgerald: [yells] That's a lie, Jesse.

Jesse Fitzgerald: Mum, no, it's not. Kate's dying and everybody knows it! You just love her so much that you don't want to let her go!

Campbell Alexander: Your Honor?

Jesse Fitzgerald: [continues] But it's time Mum, Kate's ready.

Sara Fitzgerald: That's not true. Kate would've told me!

Campbell Alexander: Your Honor, I...

Jesse Fitzgerald: Mum, she did tell you.

Brian Fitzgerald: She did. She told you million times, you didn't want to hear it.

[first lines]

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: When I was a kid, my mother told me that I was a little piece of blue sky that came into this world because she and Dad loved me so much. It was only later that I realized that it wasn't exactly true. Most babies are coincidences. I mean, up in space you've got all these souls flying around looking for bodies to live in. Then, down here on Earth, two people have sex or whatever, and bam, coincidence. Sure, you hear all these stories about how everyone plans these perfect families. But the truth is that most babies are products of drunken evenings and lack of birth control. They're accidents. Only people who have trouble making babies actually plan for them.

Andromeda 'Anna' Fitzgerald: I, on the other hand, am not a coincidence. I was engineered. Born for a particular reason. A scientist hooked up my mother's eggs and my father's sperm to make a specific combination of genes. He did it to save my sister's life. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if Kate had been healthy. I'd probably still be up in heaven or wherever, waiting to be attached to a body down here on Earth. But coincidence or not, I'm here.
