Journey to the Beginning and Beyond
mother:
What are you?
Him: [[w:I Am that I Am|I, am I]
Me? ]. You? You were home.
mother:
Where are you taking me?
Him: [pause]
The Beginning. You won't hurt much longer.
mother:
What hurts me the most is that I wasn't enough.
Him:
It's not your fault. Nothing is ever enough. I couldn't create if it was. And I have to. That's what I do. That's... what I am. Now I must try it all again.
mother:
No... just let me go.
Him:
I need one last thing.
mother:
I have nothing left to give.
Him:
Your love. It's still there, isn't it?
mother:
Go ahead. Take it.

Why don't you want kids?

Excuse me?
woman: [laughs; sighs; pause]
I saw how you reacted earlier. I know what it's like when you're just starting out, and you think you have all the time in the world, and... you know, you're not going to be so young forever. Have kids! Then you'll be creating something together! This is all just... setting. Oh... You do want them.
