- William: [he is walking up to Veronica, who is sitting in a chair in an empty room] As human beings we are free. Free to love, to hate, to fight, to kill. This freedom is found in every living person on this planet. There is no one person more powerful than the other. Only the one with the most will is the strongest. Height, weight, physical appearance... none of these things matter. The only thing that matters is your mind. The question then becomes: are you the type of person... that can summon their power... at will?

- William: Hello.
- Young Veronica: Hello.
- William: My name is William. Did they tell you what happened?
- Young Veronica: My mom and daddy died.
- William: That's right. Does that bother you?
- Young Veronica: People die all the time.
- William: Shoot me. That's an order.
- [Veronica points gun and pulls the trigger, but there are no bullets. William sighs and bends down to pick up 2 rocks from the ground]
- William: You see, the problem with guns are...
- [William throws one towards Veronica and it falls into the lake behind her]
- William: You run or of bullets.
- [He throws another one]
- Veronica: [she dodges the second one] Woah!
- William: [he throws his arms out wide] What are you gonna do? I got all this!
- [He gestures to the rocks and stones around him on the shore]
- William: What do you got?
- [Veronica examines the empty gun in her hand]
- William: You know what a gun is without bullets? Just a paperweight.
- William: I would be training you for a very important job.
- Young Veronica: What kind of job?
- William: That kind most people can't handle. You have to be very special to do it.
- Young Veronica: How did you get your job?
- William: Well, I volunteered.
- Young Veronica: Why?
- William: Because a very bad man killed my wife and my daughter.
- Young Veronica: Can I have ice cream?
- William: You can have all you can eat...
