[last lines]
Madeline : Brevich is dead, Michael back in the fold. Congratulations.
Operations : Thank you.
Madeline : It was a huge risk. Could have ended very badly.
Operations : But it didn't.
Madeline : I doubt it's gonna be that simple. There's nothing keeping them apart now.
Operations : When I was a boy, my father and I were hunters. We had two retrievers. Good dogs, very fond of each other. Being close kept them content and efficient, but occasionally it interfered with the hunt.
Madeline : How did you deal with it?
Operations : A system of rewards and punishments, as with any living creature.
Madeline : Did it work?
Operations : For a while. Eventually, we had to put one of them to sleep.

Operations : You of all people aren't going to warn me against playing God?
Madeline : No. Provided we do a decent job of it. God doesn't make clumsy mistakes.
Operations : Nonsense. Scientists say 90% of the species ever created on this planet are now extinct. That's a ten percent success rate. Ours are much higher than that. End of discussion.
