"I was waiting . . . Waiting for the right time . . . The right girl. Don't you see, Michael?" Caleb tries to explain. "All I want is what everybody else already has. A family to call my own." |
| "We have each other," Michael reassures him. "Oh, that is SO comforting," Caleb exclaims sarcastically, rolling his eyes. |
 |
 |
 |
| "A normal family life. It's not for you," Michael admonishes him. "What is? Hmmm? Extinction?" Caleb bristles. "I'm the last, Michael, thanks to you and your celibacy thing." [Michael, as usual, looks rather embarrassed when Caleb mentions Michael's priestly vows.] "It's up to me to keep the bloodline alive." |
 |
 |
| "And I think it should die," Michael says, standing up again. "What happened to you is a terrible thing. But it has to stop." |
 |
 |
 |
| "I WILL have this family," Caleb promises. "I WILL have Eve's baby as my own." "And I won't let you," Michael answers, starting to walk away, as if dismissing the conversation. |

 |
| "Oh, you're jonesing for Eve, aren't you?" Caleb says, his eyes flashing with sudden insight, as Michael stops in his tracks and looks back at his brother in shocked surprise. "I am a priest," Michael reminds Caleb in a soft, stern, yet hurt voice. |
 |
 |
| "You're also a man," Caleb scoffs. "Well you know . . ." He makes a crude expression of scorn and waves his fingers from side to side, implying perhaps that his brother is only half a man, while Michael looks down in embarrassment. "I say go for it, Bro. Man, you don't know what' you're missing." |
| "I will not let you talk about Eve this way," Michael says with chivalric bravado to Caleb's mocking face. "I know what you are, Caleb. And I know how you've suffered. But I beg you, stop this before you lose whatever trace of humanity you have left." |
