Billie Piper: Lily

Quotes 

• [Victor Frankenstein and Lily discuss Lily's name] 

  Lily : You haven't told me. What's my name?

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : Lily. Your name is Lily. The flower of resurrection and rebirth.

  Lily : Why does that make me sad? Why should a flower make me sad. I don't understand. The words come out, but with so little meaning.

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : [Lily cries in Victor's shoulder]  Shh. Be still. It will take time. But you'll learn. I'll show you what life is.

  Lily : Cousin, teach me. I am at your mercy.

  Dr. Victor Frankenstein : I shall.

  [the two continue to hold each other]
