King Silas Benjamin:
[lying wounded in bed, attended by Helen] You come to finish me off?

[Thomasina appears behind David, pointing a pistol at his head]

David Shepherd:
I'm not here for that.

King Silas Benjamin:
Or maybe plant a garden?

David Shepherd:
Jack has named himself king, but only as a puppet; Cross is the real power. He wants a war with Gath that will never end.

King Silas Benjamin:
[he motions for Thomasina to lower her gun]... Someone had to win.

David Shepherd:
Don't you understand? Everything you ever built will be destroyed unless you go back!

King Silas Benjamin:
I'm done, boy; read the signs.

David Shepherd:
...What about your country?... No; you don't deserve to die loved. You don't deserve it, you son of a b*tch! Get up! After all the wrong you've done to them - to *me*... I fought for you; I believed in you! We all did! You told us you were chosen to lead; was that a lie? Or did God just make a mistake?

Seth:
Daddy?

King Silas Benjamin:
Come here, puppy.

Seth:
Are you leaving again?

King Silas Benjamin:
Remember what I said about working for the king?

[Seth nods]

King Silas Benjamin:
[summoning the strength to sit up from his bed] I *am* the king.
