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.
