  Bernard Lowe : Then you could've stopped me at any time... So, why...?

  Dr. Robert Ford : Well, I suppose I was hoping that given complete self-knowledge and free will, you would have chosen to be my partner once again. But even I fell into that most terrible of human traps, trying to change what is already past. Now it's just time to let go.
