[Well it's the birdbrain again, this time, holding up something pink and glowing.]

[He looks completely bewildered. But that's nothing new.]

What is this? It just -- I was talking to someone, and it just appeared.

Did I do something wrong?

[And yes, that's a serious question.]

[Wait, what.]

Honey?

[Okay no, onto the real conversations here.]

Yes... he was -- is everything to me. All my life. All my memories. It's because of him. I'm his prototype -- his shadow. Without him... I don't have a purpose.

I am the bad copy. I... don't. I don't know if it's possible for just a prototype to be anything else. He wasn't my sister.

[He shakes his head.]

But he never said I was worthless. You're a human being. You have a heart. You can't be worthless.

My sister and I are twins, which is like . . . we're basically the same person, model, whatever. When people talk about us, they say SharpayandRyan. One word. You couldn't talk about me without mentioning Sharpay first for the longest time. Sharpay, the Golden Child who did everything right . . . oh, and her brother Ryan.

It's not that different. And the heart you're talking about isn't the hunk of muscle that keeps me alive. It's the willpower to keep going, and anything can have that.

But they knew of you.

I... don't know how to explain this. That it's different. That I was made to be his shadow. Nothing more. He deserves this. I don't.

All human beings have hearts. Because they aren't programs.

He's not here, is he? I mean, if he really deserved this and you didn't then he would be here and you'd be in some scrap heap and we wouldn't be having this conversation. [Ryan tilts his head.] Right?

And don't pull that "I'm here by mistake" shtick. The fact of the matter remains that we are here and everyone else is not. About three-quarters of the people here seem to feel like they're here by mistake, which is more than slightly improbable. What's more likely is that you've all been brought here to learn a very important lesson: nobody's useless. Not even misfit toys.

No! It's not like that! I wouldn't be scrap if he were here! That... why would you say that!

I wasn't useless. I had a purpose. A prototype is a lesser model, but it has a purpose. I won't deny that.
