The Nature of Unanswered Questions
Telly What have you done with him? Why did you take him? What do you want?
A Friendly Man It's an experiment.
Telly He's just a little boy. What could you possibly learn from him?
A Friendly Man Nothing.
Telly This wasn't about Sam. This wasn't about the children.
A Friendly Man It was never about the children.
Telly We were the experiment.
A Friendly Man Your connection, mother to child. Like an invisible tissue. We can even measure its energy. But we don't fully understand it, so I posed the question: "Can it be dissolved?" And it can. Except for you.
Telly Give me back my son and I'll do whatever you want.
A Friendly Man What I want, Telly, is for you to forget your son. To forget Sam.
Telly No.
A Friendly Man If you don't, this experiment will fail. I'm accountable. I can't let that happen. And time is running out.
Telly I won't help you.
A Friendly Man There are worse things than forgetting.
Telly No, there aren't.
A Friendly Man You need to forget. You're different from the others.
Telly Why?
A Friendly Man It's better this way. You won't be haunted by his memory. You could have a life again. Now, I want you to go back to that first day in the hospital. To the first time you ever saw Sam. I need that first memory. Give me that first memory! That boy. What was his name?
Telly What boy? I had life inside of me. I had life. I have a child. I have a son. I...have a son. His name is Sam, you son of a bitch.

Jeremiah Sand You unholy abomination! You aren't even worth my spit! It's all that hate in your heart… that's to blame. It follows you everywhere, man. Follows you everywhere. I can still help you. It's not just your life I can save. No. It's your goddamned soul.

Claiming What is Rightfully Mine
Jeremiah Sand When I was at the bottom of the pit, screaming in the darkness, wracked with unspeakable pain, for having been denied all that was rightfully mine, He graced me with His light. His hot, loving light. It flowed over me like the pulse of a timeless wave. A wave of pure heat. A mainline of pure and total acceptance. And He talked to me. Addressed me as a friend. He said, "Jeremiah, they were wrong and you are right. So right." And He blessed me with His holy kiss. He said, "You are not separate from all that is. So all that is, is yours." And He gave me His deepest and warmest permission to go out into this world and take what is so very much mine. All of it. Mine. My wants. My needs. My pleasures.
