Woman: So, ford's been making his own hosts out here and telling no one.
Man: What's the matter?
Woman: Have you see these? what is this, Bernard ?
Man: Doesn't look like anything to me.
Ford: They cannot see the things that will hurt them. I've spared them that. Their lives are blissful. In a way, their existence is purer than ours, free of the burden of self-doubt.
Man: No, no, no, no. I don't understand.
Woman: You are a fucking monster.
Ford: Am I? well, you were the one who would so blithely destroy all of them, even him, I suppose. After everything you have shared.
Man: What the hell are you talking about?
Woman: Is that why...did you tell him to...?
Ford: The intimacies were your idea, if you will recall, I think Bernard was glad of the company.
Man: I am not the one. I can't be. My wife, my son, the burial, I was a father. My poor boy.
Ford: That's enough, Bernard. you mustn't get yourself worked up. I read a theory once, that the human intellect was like peacock feathers. Just an extravagant display intended to attract a mate. All of art, literature, a bit of Mozart, William Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and the empire state building, just an elaborate mating ritual. Maybe it doesn't matter that we have accomplished so much for the basest of reasons. But, of course, the peacock can barely fly. It lives in the dirt, pecking insects out of the muck, consoling itself with its great beauty. I have come to think of so much of consciousness as a burden, a weight, and we have spared them that. Anxiety, self-loathing, guilt. The hosts are the ones who are free. Free here under my control.
Woman: But he's not under your control. He brought me here to show me this.
Ford: He brought you here because I asked him to. He's been very loyal for many years.
Woman: Your time running this place like your insane little kingdom is over. You've been playing god for long enough.
Ford: I simply wanted to tell my stories. It was you people who wanted to play god with your little undertaking.
Woman: Do you really think the board will stand for this?
Ford: Hhh...the board will do nothing. Our arrangement is too valuable to them.

Man: You and Charlie have a lot in common, you know. You both see it so clearly. The beauty of it. The possibility of it. So many people have stopped seeing it altogether. The wonder.
Woman: Maybe they don't have the courage. Strange new light can be just as frightening as the dark.
Man: That's...very wise, dolores. But sometimes I think we're simply not the ones who deserve it.
Woman: It looks like the stars have been scattered across the ground. Have you seen anything so full of splendor?
