SONYA (faintly): So you did this for Jarrod.
ALICE: No! For Jarrod and Hugo and me and Andrea. Because they deserve to be a family, we all do. A proper family.
SONYA (faintly): Andrea!
ALICE: Yeah, Andrea is my daughter! And she loves Jarrod in a way you never could because she would never ever ever leave him. Even Nell would be better off with Andrea and you know that yourself. She'll be taken care of and if she's a good girl she'll be fine, if not...
SONYA: Don't you touch her!
ALICE: Everyone will be better off. It's for the best, alright. Anyway, just so you know I'm not heartless. Here. The last time you'll hear his voice.
