Mary: Let me ask you something. 
 Why are you alive? 
John Preston: I'm alive... I live... to safeguard the continuity of this great society. To serve Libria. 
Mary: It's circular. You exist to continue your existence. What's the point? 
John Preston: What's the point of your existence? 
Mary: To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking.
