Quote #10
"She's not a savings account, Sydney. You don't get interest back."
"Ought to." (10.110)
Ondine and Sydney have sacrificed everything so that their niece Jade can have all the things in life they never had. But when Jade deserts them in their old age to go pursue her personal ambitions, they both feel let down. For Sydney, it's totally reasonable to want something back when you help somebody, especially when that somebody is family.
