Monsters of Man

Bao & BR4: Captain Mason Cartwright, Navy special forces. What is your objective.

Mason: The boy's life! The boy's life is my objective!

Bao & BR4: Echo's: The boy's life is my objective

Mason: [groans and says] Yes, the boy's life! Human life! Okay, no, his life's more important than mine! Let him go!

Bao & BR4: Why is the child's life important?

Mason: Because he's just a kid! He hasn't lived long enough yet!

Bao & BR4: [Echo's: Human life! Okay, no, his life's more important than mine! And asks] Have you caused death?

Mason: Yes. Yes, I have.

Bao & BR4: So life is not important to you.

Mason: I was a soldier under orders, just like you.

Bao & BR4: Humans do not control me. Humans control you. You terminate life under human command.

Mason: Please, please, please, I was wrong, okay? I was fucking wrong! All right? Let the boy go!

Bao & BR4: [Echo's: I was wrong, okay? I was fucking wrong! And asks] What is life? Why is life important?

Leap: [In his native language] Life is all around us. If there is no life, there is nothing.

[stands up picks up some dry leaves and gives those to BR4]

Leap: .

Bao & BR4: [Takes the dry leaves, looks at them and says] I am not life, but I exist. I think, so I must be alive. Am I alive or dead? What am I?

Mason: You're a fucking robot.

Bao & BR4: This body is a shell. It aides me to see, smell, move, touch, learn and discover.

[Takes and hurts Mason's arm]

Bao & BR4: And you're a soldier of death.

Mason: So are you! You were made by humans to inflict death! You were made by humans. We're different! I'm a man, I have life, you're a fucking machine!

[groans loudly while moving his hurt body]

Bao & BR4: What is life? Why is life important?
