The 1002014

Alie:
Thelonious. It's a good name. It has a double meaning. To the Greeks, Thelonious meant lord or ruler. To the Germans, it meant tiller of the earth. Which are you, I wonder.

Thelonious Jaha:
You said you were waiting for me.

Alie:
For ages, or so it seems. Time passes differently for me. [sweeps his arm through her] Very good, Thelonious. You're as perceptive as I had hoped.

Thelonious Jaha:
You're not real.

Alie:
Define "real." Your vessel is carbon-based. Mine is silicon. Your thoughts are chemical. Mine are digital.

Thelonious Jaha:
And I thought this was my destination.

Alie:
It is, Thelonious. Follow me. You were meant to come here. I realized it when I received your gift.

Thelonious Jaha:
My gift? [entering next room]

Alie:
Thank you for bringing it down for me, Thelonious. We have work to do.
