(Anala found Sloane in a hotel room sewing up her wedding dress. She sat on a couch adjacent to her. Soon after Ben walks in)
Ben: So it's official. My ears are broken, and the idiot with knivesreally can't sing.
Anala: Diego. You know his name is Diego.
Ben: Oh, whatever.
Sloane: Maybe you should try and be nice to himand the others.
Ben: And why would I do that?
Sloane: As much as I'd loveto work out your anger issues right now, I have to get back to this.The wedding is in an hour.
Ben: Fei is dead.
Anala: Yeah. We know.
Sloane: And so are the others.
Ben: Oh, so that's it? You both are just gonnaturn your backs on the Sparrow Academy? I mean, you heard Dad.We have training to do.
Anala: And you heard me when I said, I'm done with it
Ben: Something big is about to go down.
Sloane: I wish you were talking about my wedding.
Ben: Okay. (He sits in front of her) Sloane, listen to me--
Sloane: No. You listen to me. I'm sorry they didn't invite youto the bachelor party.
Ben: I don't... I don't care about that.
Anala: Yes, you do. You care more aboutbeing invited to the bachelor party than you do Fei or the others. Or even saving the world.
Ben: That's... That's crazy.
Sloane: Is it?the 3 of us, we've never been alone. It's always been the eight of us. Now it's just you. So congratulations, Ben.You're finally Number One of one.
Ben: I'm a Sparrow, and so are the both of you.
Anala: Not anymore.
Ben: What's so damn special about them anyway?
Sloane: They're a real family. They don't existto sell action figures and tote bags.
Ben: We were more than that.
Anala: Were we?
Ben: What about you? Sloanes an umbrella now. What about you? Where is the great Anala going next?
Anala: I quit. I'm tired of this life.
Sloane: Why is it so importantfor you to be a Sparrow?
(Ben starts to leave and Anala hears him whisper)
Ben: Because I have nothing else.
