"The past three months, you've slept an average" "Of four hours per night." "My problems are no concern of yours, ms." "Groves." "Perhaps if you had 1/10 as much interest" "In cyrus's welfare, he might not be about" "By your own definition," "Cyrus is irrelevant." "Everyone is relevant to someone." "That man has spent every day of his life" "Believing that there is actually" "Some sort of higher plan."

"And there has never been a plan." "At least not till now." "You wanna know what the plan was" "The day they died?" "The plan was for someone to make $15 million." "An executive at a big bank wanted them dead," "So he wired the money to someone with the skills," "Resources, and moral depravity to make that happen." "And that someone was me." "And the punch line" "Is that your machine keeps telling me to save cyrus." "How badly did you have to break it" "To make it care about people so much?" "That didn't break it."
