(Jack stares with his bloody eyes as Edith lifts the lid off the serving tray.)
THEODORE: (off panel) You remember what
I asked you? “Would you like to
become considerably
more powerful?”

THEODORE: Power is not just for glory,
you can use it to protect
yourself, and others.

For your own safety.
For your friends.

(Jack stares at it, shocked.)
THEODORE: (off panel) That is no one’s
heart but your own.
It came from someone
insignificant.

you must take it from them.
