David reveals that his request for Louise to care for a plant was actually a psychological 'trust exercise' designed to test her honesty. Louise, unimpressed by his pretension, admits she only told the truth because she didn't care about the plant and prefers her own immaturity.
DAVID: So?
LOUISE: So what David?
DAVID: So, where's the green thing?
LOUISE: I killed it. Dead dead dead dead. I'm a murderer.
DAVID: Well done! You did it Louise.
LOUISE: What? I killed your plant.
DAVID: No no no. I killed it. I cut its roots off, this was just a trust exercise.
