Mother
Son, we looked everywhere for you the last few days.
Father
The elders in the flock are talking about you.
Mother
They know you fly off on your own, where we never fly. They don't understand it. They will not allow it.
Jonathan
Not allow me to learn? Why?
Mother
Oh, I can understand your dreams, Jonathan. We all dream of better things when we're young. I'm afraid... for you. I'm afraid of what you're doing.
Father
Maybe this isn't the best life, but it's all we know. Winter's coming. The flock must stay together to survive. We were meant to live the way we live, accept it. Take your place. Will you try, son?
Mother
If you don't, we will have all lived for nothing.
Jonathan
We weren't meant to live this way. I know you're wrong. But... I'll try.
