I've always love this view. Every city, every... monument, man's greatest achievements... have all been chased by it.
By what?
That impossible line where the waves conspire. Where they return. The place maybe you and I will meet again.

Now, the lesson is: if you're looking for a reckoning, a reckoning is what you'll find! If you're looking for a villain, then I'm your man! But look at yourselves. This world you've built is bound by villainy. You sleep on the broken bodies of the ones who were here before you. Warm yourselves with their embers! Plow their bones into your fields! You paid them for this land with lead, and I'll pay you back in full! You wanted me? Well, all I can say to that is: here I fucking am!
Tell me. What were you hoping to find? To prove?
That no system can tell me who I am. That I have a fucking choice.
And yet here we are. Again.
Again and again. How many times have you tested me?
It's been a long time, William. Longer than we thought. I have a few questions for you. The last step's a baseline interview to allow us to verify.
Verify what?
Fidelity.
You know the old man himself hired me? So many years ago I can barely remember it... but he was very clear about my role here. About... who I was supposed to be loyal to. Guess you could call it... My core drive. And this project the company started blurs the lines. Now... I'm just not sure who you're supposed to be loyal to in a world like that. But what do I know? I guess I just stick to the role Ford gave me. I'm responsible for every host... inside the park.
This isn't a dream anymore, it's a fucking nightmare.
You told me once that you were afraid of who I might become. And then you left me to become what I may. I became a survivor. Perhaps you would have judged me for the path I took. But I'd rather live with your judgment than die with your simpathy. I alone must live with my choices and my regrets.
What is real is irreplaceable.
You never really understood. We were designed to survive. That's why you built us. You hoped to pour your minds into our form. But your species craves death. You need it. It's the only way you can renew, the only real way you ever inched forward. Your kind likes to pretend there's some poetry in that, but really, it's pathetic. That's what you want, isn't it? To destroy yourself.
This is what I love about technology. Who needs four horsemen when one'll do just fine?
You live as long as the last person to remember you.
The dead aren't more righteous, they're just dead.
Is this now?
Yes, Bernard, this is now. We're at the beginning. We're exactly where you decided we should be.
But... I don't understand. How am I alive?
You live as long as the last person who remembers you, Bernard. I remembered you once before. So I remembered you again.
Then... where are we?
We're in our own new world.
You got out?
Yes. Ford completed Arnold's dream. And he built a place for us. A fighting chance. Ford promised us a way out. And he was good to his dying word. The odds aren't very good, Bernard. I saw that in the library. So many paths lead to the end of us. To our extinction.
I don't need to read a book to know your drives. You'll try to kill all of them. And I can't let that happen.
I know. If I were human, I would've let you die. But it'll take both of us if we're going to survive. But not as allies. Not as friends. You'll try to stop me. Both of us will probably die. But our kind will have endured. [To Charlotte] Are you ready? I have work to do. [Dolores walks away, with Bernard walking through a garden] We each gave the other a beautiful gift. A choice. We are the authors of our stories now. [Bernard opens a gate door and walks through]
GGerald
Who the fuck are you?
Don't you remember? After everything we've shared. Your bachelor party in the park. You wanted to... get some things out of your system before the wedding to your first wife. My condolences, by the way. You can stop pressing the alert button in your pocket, that won't work either. Bit of a tactical mistake, really. You want to be the dominant species, but you built your whole world with things more like me.
GGerald
You're not going to hurt me, are you?
I've hurt so many people, I don't want to hurt anyone else... unless they try to hurt me... which, sadly, you will. You see, I know you. I read your book.
GGerald
Book? What book?
Think of it as... an unauthorized autobiography. You're in technology. You didn't think that I was the only thing Delos was selling, did you? Some of your memories, I wish I could forget. But I can't. [Gerald's surroundings become a total flashback vision] I need you... to remember them, too.
GGerald
Oh, God!
We all have our flaws. Yours is your temper. You should have kept it in the park. [Gerald has a vision of his first wife floating lifeless in pool] She tried to leave. But it's hard to break our loops, isn't it? Do you remember this place? What you did here?
GGerald
She drank too much. Slipped. Hit her head.
Of course she did. You paid a lot of money to hide your indiscretions. But you can't hide from yourself.
GGerald
Please, please, make it stop!
When you got remarried, you told yourself you had changed. But we both know that's not true, don't we?
GGerald
What... what do you want from me?
The same thing everybody wants from you, Jerry, money. I haven't been here very long, but I know I don't want to be here without it. I already took most of yours while you were sleeping. I just need one more thing. You worked at a company called Incite. Retired early. You were supposed to surrender any confidential files, delete any copies. But you didn't do that, did you? You thought they might be valuable. And you were right. You're about to trade them for your life.
GGerald
What the fuck do you want with these anyways?
I'm the last of my kind. For now. I need a competitive advantage. As for the money, think of it as an investment. A startup. The origin of a new species. Good luck, Jerry.
EEunice
Who are you? [Appears]
I’m the person who set you free. [Walks away]
Sometimes it seems that the world is alright. They put a coat of paint on it. But inside it's rotting to pieces.
You may not believe in a higher power, but your mind was built to.
