(_Contemplating, gesturing to the gate_)...

(Contemplating, gesturing to the gate) Why do you think my brother brought us here? I know what he told us-- we were supposed to help people. But you and I both know he was never straightforward. So really, in your heart of hearts, why did he bring us here? Well, believe it or not, he told me. Zeus said that two emotions brought us to this world. The first was jealousy. My brother beheld mortalkind and was jealous; so jealous, in fact, that he was willing to sacrifice immortality to have what they have… (Smiling) Family. Us gods have always been blood, sure, but family? Think about it, Minerva. In the old days, would any of us have stuck their neck out for one another the way you and your siblings have today? Hmm? (Pause) Apollo died, and that was sad. But in the old days, would you have even grieved? This world has changed us, Minerva, whether we like it or not. Well, most of us, anyhow. I mean, one of us is out there serial killing the rest of us, but you get my point.
