Caroline's anger turned instantly to shock as she looked from Elena and then back to Cave. A soft laugh of disbelief slipped out before she could stiffle it. She took a step or two backwards.

"I can't believe it. Well, you can forget it. I quit. I used to work for a man who had a great vision. Someone who loved science, someone who believed in Aperture. If I wanted to work for a panty-chasing sleaze who neglects everything for an easy lay, I could have invested years anywhere else. I was there for you when you had nearly nothing and I was by your side as you become something great. I was there when this place was a hole in the ground and I've given you every day of every year since then. And this is how it's going to end?" Her eyes fell to the desk and she flung a hand in a wide gesture towards them. "You'll find every decision to be one you would have made, each vital to Aperture, and every single one of them time sensitive. God, I hope she was worth it."

"And you-" Caroline pointed at Elena. "I hope you're prepared for everything you've signed up for. For Aperture's sake. I hope you're twenty times smarter than you look, otherwise you won't stand a chance here."

She turned back to Cave. "I couldn't be more disappointed. You ended up being just like everyone else." And with that, she turned for the door.
