Kari Wahlgren: Rose

Quotes 

• [Rose Gilberti opens the door of her son's childhood bedroom, only to catch Cyclops; Jean; and Cable inside, looking back at her in reflex.] 

  Rose : [unfazed, warmly]  Do you have children?

  [She enters the premises.] 

  Rose : He was a hard pregnancy; Sebastion... nearly lost him.

  [Rose walks past the trio.] 

  Rose : It's important to cherish every second with your child. They grow up so fast.

  [Rose brings out a painting from under her son's bed. She lays it out on the mattress for her guests to see.] 

  Rose : Here... Let me show you his best one; painted it when he was sixteen.

  [Cyclops, Jean, and Cable inch closer to the bed and examine the painting, which depicts a melee of anguished mutants being engulfed in apocalyptic flames while Sentinels ominously lord over them.] 

  Rose : ''The Final Dream'', he called it.

  [They look perplexed at what they have seen. Rose steps away from their line of sight.] 

  Rose : Like all good art...

  [Without warning, Rose uncontrollably contorts in pain. The sound of her snapping bones alerts Cyclops; Jean; and Cable, who all turn around and watch in horror, as Rose reveals herself to be a Prime Sentinel.] 

  Rose : [leers at them with menacingly glee]  ... it... imitates... LIFE.

• Bastion (young) : Mom? Will I ever be normal?

  [Rose holds Sebastion's face and looks at him assuringly with a comforting smile.] 

  Rose : [calmly]  You ARE normal. You're my son!

  [Overwhelmed with emotions, Sebastion's eyes glisten with tears. They embrace.]
