[Victor Frankenstein and John Clare discuss the cause and effects of Lily's memory returning with her speech]

Dr. Victor Frankenstein:
If Proteus was any model to go by, she'll pick up language quickly. Even more quickly since I reduced the trauma of the electrical charge. It will come back to her. So too human interaction and, well, perhaps memory.

John Clare:
And then?

Dr. Victor Frankenstein:
I don't know. Proteus was just beginning to regain the memory of his former life, when you killed him.

John Clare:
[Mr. Clare walks in Victor's face] You don't need to remind me of my sins. Just never forget your own.

Dr. Victor Frankenstein:
[while Victor looks to Lily] And this? Creating another sin?

John Clare:
Atoning for your first. All the love and companionship you denied me, visit upon her. She is our future, Creator. Tread carefully.
