**Decision Time** is the two-hundred eighty-ninth video in the lonelygirl15 video series. It is also the thirty-third video of season two.

## Transcript

(*Jonas and Sarah are sitting on beds in a motel room. Daniel walks into the room holding the camera.*)

**Jonas:** Because it's important. That's why. How many times do I have to tell you?

**Sarah:** No, listen to me. Okay, this is *her* decision. It's not *your* decision, okay? And I just...look...

(*Jonas stands up and starts making the bed.*)

**Sarah:** I don't care about your stupid revenge. Would you just stop making the bed and listen to me?

**Jonas:** Revenge... I'm listening! (*Sits down.*)

**Sarah:** Besides, you know what. We don't even know if she killed him. Okay, that guy could have hit his head. He could have had an aneurysm. There's a million other things that could have happened.

**Jonas:** Listen, she touched him, and he died. I'm positive of that. She did it once, she can do it again. Why don't you want her to help us? What's wrong with you?

**Sarah:** No look. No, fine. I want her to help us. But the reality of it is, why don't we just make her trait negative, and then she can help us!

**Jonas:** Listen... God. If we make her trait negative, then she can't help us! What's wrong with you? She'll lose her power!

(*Camera pans to Emma, who is in the corner, listening to her iPod. She is clutching Purple Monkey.*)

**Sarah:** We don't know that, okay?

(*Camera pans back to Jonas and Sarah.*)

**Daniel:** Alright, seriously. What's going on?

**Jonas:** Shut up, Daniel.

(*Jonas gets up and leaves the room.*)

**Sarah:** Just leave him alone Daniel, okay? Oh, you're leaving?

**Jonas:** I'm... you know what, I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.

**Sarah:** Uh, okay.

(*Camera pans back to Emma.*)

**Sarah:** Typical.

(*Cuts to Daniel standing outside. Jonas, Emma, and Sarah are standing together talking.*)

**Daniel:** Alright, so here's the deal. Sarah thinks that Emma should be able to make her own decision about whether or not she takes the serum. And Jonas, he uh, well he agree, sort of. But he's convinced that Emma has this power thing, and she needs to stay trait positive to learn how to use it to fight the Order. He's pretty adamant.

(*Cuts to the group, Daniel has gotten closer to them.*)

**Jonas:** Listen Emma, I don't--I don't know how to explain this to you but if we don't fight them, they're never going to stop. Ever.

**Emma:** I know. I thought it was *my* decision. I thought you wanted this to stop, to go away.

**Jonas:** I do. I do. But we can't just go around turning every girl like you trait negative. We just can't.

**Sarah:** Okay, no. Listen to me, this is your decision. This is your decision, okay? This is *her* decision. And if you inflict your will on her like this, then you're just as bad as... you're just as bad as...

**Jonas:** I'm just as bad as what? Were you going to say just as bad as the Order?

**Emma:** Guys...

**Jonas:** Because if that's what you were going to say... how could you say that to me?

**Emma:** Guys...

**Sarah:** No, that's not what I was going to say...

**Daniel:** Emma. This *is* your decision. You've seen our videos, and you know exactly what we've been through. You know about Bree now, you know about the Order. Okay?

**Emma:** I know. That's what I've been trying to tell you. I've made my decision. Sarah started to give me the injections the other day. (*Rolls up her sleeve to reveal a bandage. Jonas gets up and storms away.*) Wait a second. No wait, please Jonas, just hear me out! I don't want to do this, okay? I just want to be normal!

## Notes

* Some fans speculate that the bandage indicating that Emma has received injections may be there for show, to fend off the Order. Thus, Emma would still be trait positive.
* Daniel is wearing a cap.
