You don’t have a heart. You’re not even human.
Some would consider that a positive, not a negative.

We're meant to be together, you know that.
No! None of this was meant to happen!
[to Selena, about Lucas] You’re more dead than he is.
You ever heard of the "all seeing eye", Merli?
Yes. What's your point?
[Caleb points to his forehead]
It's right here.
This is Lucas' voice I'm hearing.
Novus Ordo Seclorum. The old order of the ages is born anew. That's me too.
Caleb, Lucas is a part of you. But that don't mean you have to be like him.
I know.
The day will come you'll have to choose your path and I want you to be strong enough to resist his influence.
I know Merli, I know. Don't worry. The buck stops here.
What's happened with my brother?
[Lucas is alive in his coffin]
Notice a little change have you? Now why don't you help me out of here and I'll explain everything over a cup of java?
I want you to die.
You may get your wish, Merli-ann. But what you seem to have forgotten is that Caleb will just pick up the sword. If he hasn't already.
His behavior is changing.
And I'm only sick. Imagine how charming he'll be after I suffocate. Get me out Merli. I get healthy and Caleb will turn around. But if I die, you'll see a monster in that child like you've never known before.
I smell a ghost.
You don't have to be this way. You have a choice.
I think I smell a sermon too.
I'm your sister, Caleb. I'm just as big a part of you as Lucas is.
You are nothing but ashes. I'm tired of your preaching. I'm tired of your white dress and I don't want to see you no more. So why don't you just go somewhere and decompose.
Caleb, what are you doing?
Taking what's mine. And if you just try to stop me, you might die twice.
Well, at least you're alive. And since I helped bring you back, you're going to do the same for Caleb.
Are you suggesting that we had a deal.
Yes.
News to me.
Look I don't have time for your games, Lucas. Gail is pregnant with your child.
So? That's just a little insurance policy, case the boy don't go my way. An heir and a spare.
The heir is about to eliminate the competition.
What's happened to you?
I guess I've seen my potential. And I ain't willing to share it. You can't have no baby, Gail.
Lucas?
It's all right, son.
What happened?
You fell.
Where's Merli?
Gone.
Gone where?
I believe she's part of you now. There had to be a sacrifice, Caleb. One of us had to go... and it wasn't going to be me.
You listen to me boy. I know what you're feeling. Believe me, I live with the rage every day of my life. It's part of who we are; it's what we feed on. And one day the world will know your power. But not yet, Caleb. As soon as I'm healed, the hunger that's driving you will disappear and you'll be as you were. And when it's your time, I'll gladly step aside. But I'm not ready to do that yet. And you're not ready to make me.
You know what a mentor is?
Half-man, half-beast?
That's a Minotaur. A mentor's like a father, a wise advisor.
You want to be my mentor?
I'll help you find the way, Caleb. Growing up's like groping in the dark, sometimes you need someone with a flashlight.
Poor Ben. He feels cheated. Sold his soul and now he's all alone with what might have been. Well, too bad.
Everyone needs to feel safe. Some folks would lay all of Trinity's troubles at my doorstep, but hell; might as well blame the trailer park for attracting lightning bolts and tornados. I mean, I had a hand in certain things. But everybody's got free will... I just give them enough rope to hang themselves. Course their lives would be a whole lot easier if they'd just take my hand, just say yes.
Then what? you own my soul?
I don't want your soul.
MMatt
[to Gail, imitating Lucas] I killed your folks, and I'm sorry...now how about a little kiss?
