Tari: So Theo, this is where we'll be staying now.

Theo: Yeah, I wish I can stay in this secret level forever.

Tari: Welp you can't. I have memories that maybe lying within TAScorp. I need it badly.

Theo: Maybe one day you might not need them. You need your family in your life and I do too.

Tari: (confusion) Theo you don't have a family. How the hell do you think you are?

Theo: I don't know. I probably have alot of secrets than TAScorp does.

Tari: (sigh) I have some secrets too. . . . . . . . Through who I am...I just want my family..If I have one.

Theo: I know you do Tari. You look like you do.

Tari: Of course I do.. That's the thing from my memories I fuckin' want. And only that. I feel.. I-it's the most important thing in a person's life.

Theo: Yeah..I think so too. I want a family

Tari: Oh my god. Theo, no disrespect you are a damned video game character and you can't have a family.

Theo: (disappointed) Okay.

Tari: But that's alright. Let's just get some sleep for right now. We may have a very "interesting" time ahead of us.

Theo: Okay, sweet dreams Tari. (sleeps)

Tari: Good night Theo.

(Lucinia and Dr. Sheridan are watching them through the cameras)

Dr. Sheridan: (touched) So beautiful. I could cry but...I'm not going to.

Lucinia: Eh, you might when their memories are returned.

Dr. Sheridan: True dat. Sooooo....movie night tonight?
