[Kerrigan is standing in front of Hope's altar, at first she was just going to rant at the 'god' at his altar, but since he apparently uses this as well.]
Are you listening, Hope? You'd better be, because I'm not going to repeat myself.
This is a foolish request you've made. Hope isn't something you can just make happen in people, it's not inherently in any object or word. A loaded gun might give hope to someone backed into a corner, but it's an object of fear for the person on their knees with one pointed at their head.
Some people have hope, and with even a tiny, insignificant thread of hope can move heaven and earth to make things happen. Hope, real hope, is something you find in yourself, or in other people, and you'll lose it if you don't do everything in your power to hold onto it, to make it real.
[There's a long pause while Kerrigan thinks about saying something else, but in the end she settles for addressing everyone else.]
As for the rest of you listening to this, there must be better things to do with your time than to play their little game.

[A sigh.] But I do feel moved to defend myself on one point - every time monsters have appeared, I've pushed them out to the caves as quickly as I could so that fewer of you would be in danger. I can't do it instantly. If you would like to do better, you're welcome to try.
