"Dr. Damian, Philip wants a word."

"Oh, yeah, um - did he mention the subject?"

"No, not really."

"Right, I'll go see him. What's his room number again?"

"Room 317, Doctor."

"Ah, thanks."

"So you're here."

"Yeah. What do you want?"

"Jake.. you sent him, didn't you?"

"For someone who's been diagnosed with extreme alcohol poisoning, your brain's pretty clear."

"Why'd you do it?"

"Because I wanted Dan. As simple as that."

"That's it? Couldn't you just have.. told me to stay away?"

"And you would have?"

"I guess not..."

"Yeah."

"So you tried to kill me."

"Without damaging my reputation, yes."

"You're a devil, you know that?"

"Anything to keep Dan with me."

"He'll never love you. He loves me. And I - I love him. I love probably more than he could ever love me, more than anyone could ever love him."

"He gave you up for me."

"People sacrifice their lives for love, Doctor. This was nothing. If you'd asked me to give you my life for Dan, I would - I wouldn't think twice - I'd give myself up in a heartbeat."

"Too bad Dan will never be able to hear these words come from your pretty mouth."

"Ah, he'll find me, Doctor. Through a hundred years, through a hundred lifetimes - he'll find me and he'll love me."
