Father

• A family is not a democracy.
• Our goal of course is still as simple and as hard as ever to bring together the best and the brightest, like all of you are, and to create a true community. I'm sure that you all know that only when there's enough of us we will be able to accomplish something meaningful.

Mother

• Mia, come here, please. Could you make her better, please?

Dialogue

Mother: So, you need to know there are certain rules that must be obeyed.

Father: There's a list of conditions that we agreed upon with the agency. [...] If you look after the household, the household look after you.

Mother: Would it be ok if we just call you Mia?

[...]

Sebastian: Yes, I would like her to be called Mia.

Mia: No one calls me like that.

Mother: I like "Mia".

Mia: I never really understood how you count the points.

Sebastian: In the beginning is love and than is fifteen.

Mia: "In the beginning is love"? What does it mean?

Sebastian: It means "zero".

Mia: "Zero" is "love"?

Mia: Don't beat him!

Mother: We don't beat him, we love him.

Sebastian: Thank You.

Mother: You're welcome. [...] Don't be scared. Do you love Sebastian, Mia? Prove it to him.
