IV's border his view of the door that leads to his hospital bed.
Nurse-
"Sure, I'll clean your bedpan and wipe your bottom. That's my job.
"But I heard you're up for treason. So don't expect any small talk from me."
Chen and Ramesh-
"Come on, Possible. We got the emitter back in the lab before they could prove it was gone. They got nothing on you. Why are you so quiet?"
Nana Possible-
"Tell me it isn't true. Tell me that what they're saying about you stealing from the government isn't true.
"James! Say something. If you don't want me to leave Middleton forever and head off to Florida, say something now."
Dr. Director-
"Do you know who I am, Possible? Of course you know who I am, it's grant giving season and all. You've seen plenty of me in the universities labs. You know exactly who I am.
"And what I can do. And I'm doing you, Possible. I'm doing you right and good. Paying for all this hospital care out of our budget. Even getting some more meat on those scrawny nerd bones of yours.
"You stole top secret technology. And instead of offering up Dr. Drakken in exchange for your crime, you just exposed it to the public. There's treaties against missile defense, and you nearly got the whole country in a heap of trouble.
"You see, power doesn't come from militaries or high-tech. It comes from knowledge."
She points her watch at him and two blue arcs begin to course around prongs that weren't there a second ago.
"I could light you up right now. I wouldn't even be arrested. You know why? Because no one would know. Anyone that mattered anyway. They'd all cover for me, and this wouldn't have even taken place. Otherwise, all the other things hidden would spill out into the open. And the whole system would come tumbling down."
"So listen up, Possible. You're never going to see space up close. You're gonna use all that engineering know-how to build ships for us to send more...discrete people up in your place. You're not so much as going to be allowed on a plane built with a government subsidy.
"And if you tell anyone, they're classified. You tell your mother, that girl, even Ramesh and Chen before their shuttle missions and they're classified. You think long and hard about that."
Anne-
"Nobody'll listen to me. I tried telling them that you saved me from that Drew creep. They talked my parents out of letting me go to Washington. They won't even give me an MRI to see that my brain hasn't been drained to the Bebe hive mind.
"But it hasn't. I haven't been brain drained and I'm still in college. Thanks to you, James.", she tells him.
The college kid tries to shake his head. "You can't tell anyone, Anne. Don't think about going to the press, even the science journals. Just forget about the whole thing."
Anne disagrees. "You might be able to keep me quiet. But you can't keep me from marrying you. I'll be at your side, forever. I love you James Timothy Possible."
The college kid replies before slipping back into unconsciousness. "I love you too, Anne."
