| - Yes?
- Oh, it's you.
- {Friendly} Hello, Edward.
- {Neutral} Hello, Mother.
- {Amused} For one thing, it wasn't chicken. For another thing, you should be glad to have any wine at all.
- {Conspiratorial} Well if Jack already told you there can't be any harm.
- {Apologetic} He developed a serum that we all take. It pretty much halts aging, although you can see what happens if you stop taking it for too long.
- {Irritated} I don't recall asking you to rescue me.
- {Grateful} Well... thank you. Even though I know you're just being polite. You're different than the thugs Jack usually sends.
- {Friendly} Keeping yourself out of trouble, I hope?
- {Stern} But you don't care about any of that, do you? I'm sure Jack sent you to fetch me home. He's always trying to control me.
- {Irritated} It wasn't my idea for you to come down here poking your nose into my business.
- {Sarcastic} Not at the moment. You'll be the first to know if I get a new boyfriend, though.
- {archly - emphasis on "younger" / Defiant} Just to be clear - I'm Jack's younger sister. The baby of the family.
- {Irritated} Edward who works for Jack. I know Jack was behind this. He's always trying to control me.
- {Concerned} Mother, you do realize that we are lucky to have canned peas. Most people nowadays don't even have enough to eat.
- {Disbelief} He actually thought he could force me to join his absurd cult.
- {Sad} I know Mother and I had our differences, but... I actually do miss her.
- {Irritated} How rude. Don't you know to never mention a lady's age?
- {Disgust} I was bored with Thomas anyway. He seemed so interesting at first, but after we got here he turned out to be just another brute.
- {mock formal - poking fun at him for calling you "Miss Cabot" / Friendly} Hello, Mr. Deegan.
- {Sarcastic} Of course not. You can't believe anything I say. I'm the crazy one, haven't you heard?
- {very sarcastic / Surprised} Thomas? He wasn't my "boyfriend". We had some fun together. That's all.
- {Question} Well then he probably told you he's been studying that artifact for years.
- {Angry} I know we deserve to pay for what we've done, but so do you, Father.
- {Grateful} How did you get that? Never mind, I'd rather not know. Thank you so very much.
- {Flirting} I just need some serum and then you'll see why I was voted Miss Boston three years running.
- {Defiant} I'm happy he's dead. He was going to kill us, wasn't he? And to be fair, we had it coming.
- {Amused} I guess I'm going to have to get used to the idea that I'm actually an old lady now.
- {Surprised} So either Jack blabbed or you're smarter than the thugs he usually has working for him.
- {Confident} Oh, I don't think we need to worry about that. I've gone without a treatment much longer before with no lasting effect.
- {Grateful} I can't thank you enough for giving me that serum. Jack doesn't need to know I got a little extra, does he?
- {Friendly} Edward... how many times have I told you to call me Emogene?
- {haughtily / Irritated} Don't tell me. Jack sent you.
- {eyerolling in irritation / Irritated} I'll never hear the end of this from Mother.
- {Sad} I'm sorry you never knew my father before the artifact took control of him.
- {Sarcastic} It's not something I usually worry about.
- Good night.
- I'm not in the mood for you right now.
- {haughtily / Irritated} What makes you think I need to be rescued?
- Night, Mother.
- No, Mother, I'm still reading it.
- No, Mother.
- Not yet, Mother.
- {Neutral} And... thank you. I really do appreciate you coming to find me, even though I didn't actually need rescuing.
- {Question} He must have told you about the strange artifact my father found? Jack's been studying it for years.
- {Afraid} Come on, Jack, we'll never stop him unless he's weakened by that gun of yours!
- {Disgust} I was done with him. And he shouldn't have locked me in here.
- {Stern} If Jack wants to spill the family secrets to just anyone, that's his business. I've already said too much.
- What is it now, Mother?
- Yes, I just finished.
- {Afraid} Jack, you've got to hit him with your fancy radiation gun!
- {Disgust} Besides. He shouldn't have locked me in here.
- {Defiant} Don't worry, I'll be my usual stunning self as soon as I get some more serum.
- {Confident} Oh, and I'm not going with you. You can tell mother I'll be along home before too long. I just need a drink first.
- {Thinking} It's more like it halts aging. I started taking it when I was 32, so normally that's what I look like.
- {Confident} Don't worry, I'll find my own way home. I'm not quite ready to face mother.
- {Disgust} That's because we have. I must have read this one at least twenty times.
- {Sad} Poor Edward. I never understood why he was so loyal to Jack.
- {sarcastic/bitter / Sarcastic} That's right. I'm the crazy one in the family. Ask anyone.
- {Amused} I'm sure it wasn't beef. There aren't any cows any more, Mother. It's better not to think about it too much.
- {Stern} And I know it was Jack who sent you. He's always trying to control me.
- {Grateful} Lorenzo might have killed us all if it wasn't for you.
- {Neutral} Wait. Since you've already gone to all this trouble, I may as well leave now.
- {Sad} Poor Mother. The serum was the only thing keeping her alive. But... she had lived far beyond her time. It's for the best.
- {Irritated} No, of course not. I could have left whenever I chose. I was just waiting to see if Thomas would come to his senses.
- {Afraid} It's no use. We're barely hurting him.
- {Angry} Die, you psycho!
- {Angry} You were never a father to me!
- {Depressed} At least it's finally over.
- {Friendly} Ah, my hero.
- {Friendly} Hello.
- {Friendly} Hi, Edward. Are you as bored as I am?
- {Irritated} It really isn't any of your business.
- {Irritated} Not this again.
- {Irritated} Oh for heaven's sake, Mother.
- {Irritated} Well that's just typical.
- {Neutral} Mother.
- {Question} Yes, Mother?
- {Sarcastic} I can find my own way home, thanks.
- {Sarcastic} Whatever you say, Mother.
- {Sarcastic} Yes, Mother.
- {Sarcastic} You can tell Mother I'll be home soon.
- {Surprised} Oh, hello Mother.
- {Irritated} Well. Thomas certainly thinks so. But really I was just waiting to see if he would come to his senses.
- {Impressed} I can't imagine where he gets it from these days.
- {Friendly} I think we know each other well enough that you can call me Emogene.
- {heavy sarcasm / Sarcastic} Oh, yes. It's been really bothering me lately.
- {Tired} I always knew we shouldn't be using the serum, but who could resist such a temptation?
- {Disgust} I don't even know why I'm reading this. I think I could recite it from memory, I've read it so many times.
- {Irritated} And he's always after me for being a blabbermouth. Typical!
- {Angry} Mother tried to blame Jack, but she was the one who pushed him to use the serum in the first place.
- {Defiant} Hardly. I had things under control. But since you've gone to all this trouble, I may as well leave now.
- {Neutral} But since you've already gone to all this trouble, I may as well leave now.
