-->''Jason:''Xia Lee, what a surprise to see you here. And Meilin, too. Please, feel free to stay, I’m sure you’ll eventually make a good prize for one of these guys.\\
''Xia:''Prize, Jason, is that what you think of us, is it? We aren’t prizes, Jason, and what you’re doing is illegal, selling innocent people for money! It’s clear, now, that you truly don’t care about anyone but yourself!''\\
''Jason:''Says the one who performed horrific experiments on people, and claimed to be helping them!” he said, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, “You claim to protect people, yet you take away something that apparently exists to do just that, Xia. You’re just as responsible as I am! And you, Meilin Lee, you were given the same ability to defend yourself, and instead you use it to entertain others and raise money. And you still decided to keep it even after you attacked your friend Tyler, after you knew how dangerous it is? Yeah, you exploit the pandas just as much as I do!''\\
''Xia:''Don’t you guys all see, you were all deceived! This man wanted you to believe you were keeping the city safe, but he just wanted an excuse to traffic people for his own greed! He doesn’t care about anyone, he only cares about his own wallet!\\
''PCA agent:''I always had a bad feeling about you, Mr. Vaugn! I agreed to help you eliminate dangerous people and animals to defend the city, I did not sign up for human trafficking, none of us did! No, the Lee family aren’t the dangerous ones, here, Jason, you are!\\
''Jason:''You know what? You are all traitors, every single one of you in this room, and you shall all share the same fate! I’ve spent enough time trying to expose these freaks for what they are, yet you’re now accusing ME of being the dangerous one even though these pandas are literally walking weapons of mass destruction? Perhaps now it is time for me to finish my ancestors’ work!''
