"I don't really think this is a plus one kind of thing." "I bet there's gonna some kind of big induction ceremony, you know, with torches and chanting." "No torches." "No chanting." "Jasmine would have told me, right?" "Why do you think she wants to see you?" "I bet you have to prove that you're the Uniter." "I'd be happier if she proved I wasn't." "Or maybe you have to fight her in a death match." "Or maybe they're gonna kill you, to see if you can come back to life." "Paul, seriously, I'm stressed out enough without you going all graphic novel on me." "Alek, dude, you gotta hook me up." " Can I go too?" " Go where?" "You know, to see your lair." "My lair?"

"Amy, there's a chance I could be killed in a ceremonial sacrifice." "A little perspective." "Oh, please, you have gabillion lives." "You'll be fine." "That's the kind of reassurance I'm looking for." "Singing one of my songs in public was your idea." "I only signed up because you begged me to." " You said" " That you'll be great." "You're an amazing songwriter, and I will be there tomorrow to support you." "Do not panic." "You'll be fine." "I'll help you relax." "Why is that the universal boys' solution to pretty much everything?" "( Clears throat ) Excuse me, is this seat taken?" "Chloe, wow." "What a crazy coincidence." "Of all the coffee places in San Francisco." "What are the odds of running into you at the one next door to where I work?" "I know." "Pretty strange, huh?" " Must be fate." " That must be it." "Okay, truth." "I wasn't really just in the neighborhood or craving a latte, or in the market for a used book." "Please tell me you know where this is going." "I think I do, but I wanna hear it anyway." "Do you wanna get together this weekend?" "I was right." "I do like hearing it." "Then I will say things just like that repeatedly and often." "There's a new music festival in Marin on Sunday afternoon." "And if you're interested, I think I might be able to still get tickets." "New music, my favorite kind." "Great." "Then Sunday." "Yeah, unless I run into you before then." "I don't know if you know, but I am here every day." "I think I heard that somewhere." "( Bell dings )" " Chloe, you ready?" " ( Sighs )" "So I'll see you." "Unfortunately, I've gotta go." "Bye." "(Man on phone) You've been out there all day." "What's the hold up?" "Patience." "I just have to get her alone." "Just do it." "There's not gonna be like a ceremony or anything, is there?" "No, I'd probably call it more of a sacrifice." "There's nothing to be nervous about." "All new Mai come here." "Even the ones who aren't the Uniter." "Though it's best not to look her directly in the eyes." "Did I mention she's killed at least 12 members of the order with her bare hands?" "It's actually closer to 15." "( Elevator bell dings )" " Hey, mom, we're home." " I am starving." "Got something to eat?" "Wow." "The Mai are doing okay." "Mom." "Jasmine:" "This is Chloe." "Hi." "Valentina." "If we'd only known." "I'm so sorry for everything that you've been through." "Jasmine was amazing." "I'm sure she was." "But I wanna hear your story for myself." "Come." "You have lived so much in such a short time." "Yeah, it's been a little crazy, but I'm happy now." "It's good to get some answers." "I just wish we were about to find you sooner." "But you were born during such dark times." "So many Mai were scattered and lost." "It's part of my job to try and find them." "Don't forget to tell her how I saved your life..." "Twice." "Though some of them I wouldn't occasionally mind giving back." "He lost his parents in one of the slaughters." "Chloe:" "What's that?" "Is that Bastet?" "I'm impressed." "It's a Khopesh." "Ironically, the order once used it to behead my-- sometimes it's good to remember." "Why do they wanna kill me?" "Us?" "Ignorance, fear, a feud that goes back thousands of years." "But mostly a mistaken belief that Mai are a danger to the human race." "Do you see that?" "Above the fireplace." "It's beautiful." "It's the oldest piece I have." "Perhaps 3,000 years." "It's about the coming of the Uniter." "We've been waiting a very long time." "Are you sure I am who you think I am?" "I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life." " Nine lives to live." " And nine to endure." "Kinda sticks with you." "Nine lives to accomplish much, but each life more complicated than the last and each death more painful than the one before." "I'm sorry, but I think that you should know the truth." "I don't wanna die again." "I'm doing everything within my power to make sure that that doesn't happen." "The Mai are searching for the order's assassin as we speak." "But what if they can't find him?" "Then we're gonna take you away and put you into hiding." "Sometimes with things of such value, there's no other choice." "I'm sorry, Chloe, but your life is no longer your own." "Home." "Late." "Sorry." "I kinda lost track of time." "I just" "mom?" "Mom." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom, where are you?" "Mom!" "Oh my God." "My goodness, what is the matter with you?" "I'm just worried about you." "And yet you're the one who's an hour late." " Did you eat?" " I'm good." "All right." "Oh, I'll do that." "If this is your way of apologizing and avoiding a lecture," "I am all for it." "So I got your text, but it was a little short on details." "Who's Jasmine?" "A friend from school." "You don't know her." "Oh, a lot of new friends." "No, just one." "But you would love their apartment." "I mean, she and Alek just have the best setup." "And the view is incr" "Continue." "That was pretty much it." "So when you said you were going to a girlfriend's house, what you actually meant was that you were going to a girlfriend's house to meet up with that boy from your bedroom." "Okay, yes, he was there, but that wasn't why I was going." "Chloe, I thought we didn't lie to each other." "Now that I believe has been a long-standing house rule." "I'm sorry." "What would you do if I just never came home one day?" "Oh my God." "Chloe." "Why would you even ask me that?" "That has got to be a mother's worst nightmare." "Every time you're even a minute late, it flashes" "Nice try." "You're still in trouble." "I would spend every waking moment of every day trying to find you." "Me too, you." "Would I be in less trouble if I folded the whites as well?" "You unload the dishwasher," " we'll pretend it never happened." " Deal." "Don't lie." "I need to be able to trust you." "( Kisses )" "What do you mean take you away?" "You can't let them do that." "They really weren't giving me much of an option." "Then we're not going to let them do that." "Paul?" "Do you know how long I've dreamt of being swept away" " to fulfill an ancient destiny?" " Sadly, yes." " Not helping." " No, he is." "Look, I can't take this too seriously, okay?" "I just have to believe that they're finally gonna catch this guy" " and stop him." " But he could be anywhere." "Is it even safe for you to be outside?" "Supposedly I'm being watched at every moment." "Maybe we all are." "Every moment?" "Why?" "Is that bad?" "No, I just might wanna change what I wear to bed." "So are you excited for tonight?" "Chloe, you're being hunted by a deadly assassin, and you can disappear at any moment." "Like you said, a little perspective." "She took her name off the list." "I'm breaking up with you." "Amy." "You're putting it back on." "No, the idea of standing up there in front of all of those people" "'Cause you so hate attention?" "I'm not worried about them looking at this." "But if I get up there and sing one of my songs, then the fantasy is over." "In my imagination, people love them." "What if in reality it's not so much?" "You're a crazy person." "Here's what we're gonna do:" "Tonight you're just gonna sing directly to me, like in your room-- no judging." "And I will be right there in the front row loving every minute of it." "I kinda need something like this right now." "( Groans )" "And I thought I was the bossy one." "Don't worry." "You still are." "And we're getting back together." "Just so I can break up with you again." " Woman:" "Here you go, Chloe." " Thanks." "There you go." "I think she's here for you." "So this is where you work?" "Yeah, it's kind of my extracurricular activity." "People have been deciphering the prophecies for generations and no one ever thought to look for you in a used clothing store off of Market." "I'd be really okay if they stopped3 looking and just went away." "That's never gonna happen." "What if I don't wanna be the Uniter?" "That's like wishing you didn't have blue eyes." "Some things simply are." "Chloe, I'm sorry if I came on too strong last night." "I just wanted to make sure that you understood the seriousness of what's happening." "You have nothing to be frightened of." "We're here for you." " And you're here for us." " But my friends and family-- might not fit into your new life." "And there's nothing that can be done about that." "It's for your safety as well as theirs." "We might co-exist, but we don't truly live in the same world." "Chloe, you're destined for greatness." "Why does that sound like the worst thing that anyone has ever said to me?" "I need to go to work." "I'm already late." "Here, let me help." "Thanks." "Glad to hear the rumors about you being here every afternoon are true." "So Sunday..." "I don't wanna push my luck, but do you think you might wanna head out a little early, get some food in Sausalito?" "I know this great Indian place." " Brian." " I also know this great Thai place." "See, I came prepared." "You all right?" "I don't know if I can do this." "We're not talking about lunch, are we?" "Please please, do not take this personally." "Probably not possible." "I really like spending time with you, but I just don't think you and I can ever really go past where we are now." " I've just got so much stuff going on." " Please." "Just don't start listing reasons." "I get it." "You just wanna be friends." "I'm glad you told me." "That's cool." "I guess I just don't get why between yesterday" " and today" " I'm sorry, but I mean it." "I really do wanna be friends." "Yeah, that'd be great." "I don't have a lot of friends here yet, so that is good." "But I should let you get back to work." "All right." " Thanks, Neil." " You're welcome." "Oh God!" "Oh my God!" "I'm so sorry." "Happy to help." "( Cell phone ringing )" "Hey, mom, home for dinner." "I swear." "Assassin:" "I'll let her know." " Where's my mom?" " I'll be in touch." "Please, don't hurt... ( Beeps ) - ..." "Her." "( Ringing )" "Mom, pick up your phone." "Pick up your phone." "( Ringing )" " Mom." " ( Ringing )" " Hello?" " Mom, hi." "I called you." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, honey, sorry." "I thought I heard the phone ring, but I was in the tub." "It was that kind of day, the least of my problems being that I lost my cell phone somewhere." "Listen, I just wanted to let you know" "I'm gonna be home a little late." "Don't go anywhere, okay?" "I wasn't planning on it." " I love you." " I love you" "( beeps )" " Hmph." "Your mother is safe." "We have several Mai watching your house right now." "I should be with them." "No, Chloe, that's exactly what he wants." "He wants to get you alone." "We still have the element of surprise." "He's not expecting us to be on the attack." "And we'll be here when you get back." "When they get back?" "Wait." " Aren't we going with you?" " No." "I admire your bravery, but there's too much at stake." "But I can't let you fight my fight." "This is all our fight, Chloe." "You might have eight lives left, but each one is more precious than all of ours combined." "Let's go." "Alek, you have to look out for my mom." "Make sure she's all right." "You heard Valentina." "They're on it." "I know, but I'd just" "I'd feel better if you were there." "Please." "Don't worry." "I'll go." "She's gone, isn't she?" "She's locked away in some cave somewhere." "She would have called." "They don't have reception in caves." "She'd better not be gone because this whole stupid thing was her idea." "Her idea?" "You've been talking about this for two months." "Do you know how many conversations we've had just about what you're gonna wear?" "Your job right now is to nod sympathetically and agree with me." "You know, for a very small person," " you're unusually strong." " Sorry." "It's Chloe." "You know she'd be here if she could." "( Cell phone rings )" "Amy:" "Chloe, where are you?" "Are you all right?" "I'm so sorry." "Something came up with my mom." "I'll tell you about it later." "I don't believe you." " Amy." " No." "Are you in trouble?" "I can hear it in your voice." "It's not like I don't know you." "Can we help?" "Amy, listen, what would help me right now is if you went up there and just blew everyone away." "That would oddly really help me right now." "I'll do my best." "Thanks, Chloe." "Is she okay?" "I don't know." "But I'm supposed to sing to her." "It's sort of what I planned." "So sing to me instead." "I'll be right here." "It'll just be the two of us." "You always laugh when I sing you one of my songs." " Always." " I won't." "Not this time." "I promise." "Jasmine:" "One of the earliest depictions of the order doing what they do best-- hunting Mai." "They're never were any lions in England." "Humans tend to be superliteral." "Why didn't you tell Amy what was going on?" "I didn't want her to worry." "If she knew I was locked away in a tower hiding from scarface, she'd be here in two seconds kicking down the door." "She's my best friend." "I get it." "Thanks for watching out for me." "Again." "I eat popcorn when I'm nervous." "Then I hope you have a lot." "I don't know what I'd do if something happened to my mom, or if I could never see her again." "I went away to camp once for two weeks when I was 10, and I think she called a hundred times." "The camp was not happy." "My mom went away once for three months and called twice." "It's all right." "She's got a ton of responsibilities." "I don't need her to hold my hand." " But sometimes it's nice." " Everybody's different." "She's just tough on me because she always wants me to do my best." "Butter or no butter?" "Butter, please."
