I am not here to lie to you. No one in my house lies. In fact, they're utterly incapable of it.
I want to make things simple for you, Agent Ward. I want you to have a less complicated life. I want to lift any burden of responsibility you might feel, and remove any conflict or uncertainty. I want you to help me to help others; to fulfill needs, as I said.
If you accept my offer, you and I will agree upon a time in the future. On that day, everything I took from you, I would give back. As a parting gift, you could tell me what it is about yourself that you want to keep, and what you want to change. That would be one way I could compensate you for the time you spent with us.
You know that all of this is scientifically possible.
