Mary
Let me ask you something. Why are you alive?
John Preston
I'm alive... I live... to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria.
Mary
It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point?
John Preston
What's the point of your existence?
Mary
To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.
