The inspiration! Where have you been hiding? [to revolutionaries] Finish her.
Mother! quotes
Him
I'm his father.
mother
And I'm his mother!
Him
Stop, stop, don't, don't, don't, please don't. I love you.
mother
You never loved me. You just loved how much I loved you. I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING. You gave it all away.
mother
What are you?
Him
Me? I, am I. You? You were home.
mother
Where are you taking me?
Him
The Beginning. [pause] 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.
mother
Stop, they're ruining everything!
Him
These are just things. They can be replaced.
woman
Can I ask you a question? [pause] Do you really love your husband?
mother
Yes, of course.
woman
[sarcastically]
Are you telling me the truth?
woman
Why don't you want kids?
mother
Excuse me?
woman
[laughs]
I saw how you reacted earlier. [sighs] 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. [pause] Oh... You do want them.
woman
You give, and you give, and you give. It's just never enough.

[to Him's followers]
MURDERERS! [to Him] MURDERER! It's time to get the ****... [scratches Him's face as his followers gasp] ...out of my house!
Him
My wife loves having company.
Him
They've come to see me.
