-->'''Sam:'''Stop it?! Do you have any idea–?? Do you not realise this, this whole thing, your whole set up here, what you’ve done, it was allowed to happen, it was designed! It’s all a plan, these things, they fall together at the precise moments they are meant to and maybe you think that you’ve played me because you didn’t persecute Arlo but all you’ve done is be played yourself. All these people you brought into this, who trusted you, who you betrayed? When people follow you they become your responsibility, and you lied to everyone who ever showed up at your door, and worse, worse than that, you went out looking for people, you brought them here, on the basis of what!? It’s all baseless. There’s no substance behind any of your charade, no method, just madness, and you still can’t see it. You’re too blinded by conviction to realise you’re just a pawn in this!
