"I'm not forcing her into anything." "It's what she wants." "Isn't that right, dear?" "(DULLY) 100%." "Shelley, how could you agree to that?" "She's my mother." "She's dying." "And she said you could put me up in the cloud so I could rest, so I wouldn't have to feel miserable." "It'll be like a digital vacation, giving you all the time you need to cook up another one of those beings in the tank." "It would take years to create another Prycilla."
