  • After being conflicted with his newfound emotions and seeing his mom in danger trying to rescue him while being mind raped by Mara and the other kids, David embraces his human side and pushes Mara down subduing her long enough for his mother and him to escape the explosion caused by Alan's concealed bomb.
  • Alan's argument with Mara over emotions. While each differing view has their strong points, Alan gets the last word in the end in regards to David's developing emotions.
    Dr. Alan Chaffee: Another man is dead. Why do you hate us so much, Mara?
    Mara Chaffee: It isn't a matter of hate. It is a biological obligation. You are thinking of what happened to the others. Then our actions shouldn't surprise you. We have to survive no matter what the cost; we are the only ones left now.
    Dr. Alan Chaffee: I don't see why we can't reach an understanding. Why can't we just live together?
    Mara Chaffee: If we coexist, we shall dominate you. That is inevitable. Eventually you will try to eliminate us. We are all creatures of the life force. Now it has set us at one another to see who will survive.
    Dr. Alan Chaffee: That's a cruel sport.
    Mara Chaffee: Life is cruelty. We all feed on each other, exploit each other in some way to survive.
    Dr. Alan Chaffee: I don't agree with you. I think that adaptation is the key to survival. Cooperation and symbiosis...and compassion.
    Mara Chaffee: Why do you think your own survival depends upon emotion from us? Should we pity you? Empathize with your plight?
    Dr. Alan Chaffee: You should feel! You should feel something! Without feelings, you're nothing. You're just second-rate mimics of a higher organism. That's right, higher organisms. We're your superiors in our capacity to love. Without compassion you're a doomed species.
    Mara Chaffee: Emotion is irrelevant. It is not our nature.
    Dr. Alan Chaffee: Well, I'm not so sure you're right about that, Mara.
