Your work saved the lives of thousands.
What if I told you that reality is one of many?

Dr. Stephen Strange:
This doesn’t make any sense!
The Ancient One:

Baron Mordo:
Stephen Strange, might I offer you some advice?

Dr. Stephen Strange:

The Ancient One:
How did you become a doctor?
Dr. Stephen Strange:
Study and practice… Years of it.
[the Ancient One nods]
