Dr. Waggner:

It's wonderful, Karen. When I was first bitten, I fought against it and so did Jerry. And then we found the Doctor. He helped us. He helped us to adjust. You see, Karen, he understands all about the gift. He knows how to use it... how to control it.
Dr. Waggner:
You'd have Bill back; there's still time if you accept the gift.

The Howling - The Battle Between Kindness and Violence
Karen White: [she howls and starts to transform]
Good evening. From the day we're born, there is a battle we must fight, a struggle between what is kind and peaceful in our natures, and what is cruel and violent. That choice is our birthright as human beings, and the real gift that differentiates us from the animals. It is as natural to us as the air we breathe. All of us take it for granted. But now, for some of us, that choice has been taken away. A secret society exists, and is living among all of us. They're neither people nor animal, but something in between. They're monstrous mutations with violent natures that must be satisfied. I know what you're thinking, because I've been where you are... But I have proof, and tonight I'm going to show you something... to make you believe!
