Jack, Williams "MIB" and others in “Unfinished Business”

[At a cocktail party with Williams] What was it Plutarch said? "And Alexander wept for there were no more worlds left to conquer."

That's a corruption, Jack. Plutarch didn't write that. He wrote that "when Alexander was told there was an infinity of worlds, he wept, for he had yet to become the lord of even one."

Sometimes I forget your humble roots. Only the poor kids actually read those books. The rich kids like me didn't have to.

[Walks over] "I would rather excel in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and possessions." Plutarch. From a rich kid who read. [Drinks her wine]

To the loveliest, richest bookworms I know. And to you, William. Even if there is an infinity of worlds, you've conquered far more than one. [Walks away]

Have a good night, Jack.

Hmm. Emily told me what you did for her charities. Wow. That would confirm my father's suspicions you were a Marxist. I almost wish he were here to see it. Something wrong?

No, of course not.

Good. Look around... Everybody's here for you. [Laughs] What could possibly compare? But you don't like that, do you? Is that why you started it, your little project? Don't act surprised. The project Uncle Logan used to talk about. It's real, isn't it? Your pursuit for immortality, for life... There's always an angle with you. You want it to be about control, don't you?

It has nothing to do with control. What's your angle?

I want in.
