❛ How long did you think you were inside? ❜
❛ All work and no play, it sounds…not healthy. ❜
❛ I thought you were gone. ❜
❛ I don’t know where it was, or…what it was. ❜
❛ You must be able to tell me something. ❜
❛ I deserve a better explanation than no explanation. ❜
❛ I saw you. I recognized you. Your face. ❜
❛ I don’t feel very well. ❜
❛ Stay with me, baby. I’m right here with you. ❜
❛ You must be feeling dreadful. It’s a hangover from the sedative you were given. ❜
❛ I want to know what the fuck I’m doing here. ❜
❛ Did he ever mention where he was going, what he was doing? ❜
❛ It’s not easy to move on. ❜
❛ We have many theories, few facts. ❜
❛ We need to come to an agreement about what to do with you. ❜
❛ You’re not going to let me go home? ❜
❛ Is that what you want? To go home? ❜
❛ I was just looking at the moon. It’s always so weird seeing it like that, in the daylight. ❜
❛ I get really turned on when you patronize me. It’s really hot. ❜
❛ You didn’t tell me where you’re heading this time. ❜
❛ I know there’s something strange about this mission. ❜
❛ If you step outside and you look up, we’ll be looking at the same stars. ❜
❛ Don’t you think we should make friends? ❜
❛ You know, I always see you here alone. ❜
❛ The people here put themselves to sleep in the fetal position making cooing noises. It’s freaky, you know. ❜
❛ Do you have to hit on everyone, like all the time? ❜
❛ Under the circumstances, I think I’m allowed to roll the dice a few more times. ❜
❛ What do you think happened to them? ❜
❛ Well, there are two theories of what went wrong. One, something kills them. Two, they go crazy and kill each other. ❜
❛ I am so sorry. And I know what I have to do. ❜
❛ You want to come with us. ❜
❛ You can fight. You can learn. You can save him. ❜
❛ That was a brave choice. ❜
❛ You gotta give me a second. I’m a little disoriented. ❜
❛ We did a food inventory. From the depletion, we’ve been out here for at least three or four days. ❜
❛ So we’ve got no compass, no comms, no coordinates, and no landmarks. ❜
❛ Let’s pack up and get moving. We’ve already lost a lot of the day. ❜
❛ Anything interesting in there? ❜
❛ Okay, just breathe. It’s okay. You’re just fine. ❜
❛ Is it possible these were hallucinations? ❜
❛ Sometimes it was beautiful. ❜
❛ All other lives feel like a lifetime ago. ❜
❛ Volunteering for… this. It’s not exactly something you do if your life is in perfect harmony. ❜
❛ We’re all damaged goods here. ❜
❛ More mutations. They’re everywhere. ❜
❛ There’s beds and bags. You think people are here? ❜
❛ Let’s not jump to conclusions. ❜
❛ "For those that follow.“ I believe that means us. ❜
❛ Okay, so we know what happened to the last group. They went insane. ❜
❛ That was a trick of the light. ❜
❛ I don’t want to stay here tonight. ❜
❛ It’s too late in the day for us to move on. ❜
❛ I gotta leave a day early. ❜
❛ The mystery unraveling? ❜
❛ I’m at least as freaked as [name]. I’m just hiding it better. ❜
❛ What’re you doing up? Not supposed to relieve me until 3:00. ❜
❛ I’m done sleeping for the night. ❜
❛ I’d say you’re confusing suicide with self-destruction. ❜
❛ Almost none of us commit suicide… and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. ❜
❛ Isn’t self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell? ❜
❛ Wake up. Something’s happening. ❜
❛ [name] was next to me. Something took her. ❜
❛ I’m fine going on my own. You just need to decide whether you’re coming with me or not. ❜
❛ And thanks for the fucking backup. ❜
❛ You’re saying we get out by going deeper? ❜
❛ I didn’t know what going back meant. Why it would be safer than going forward. ❜
❛ Just… leave me the fuck alone. ❜
❛ That doesn’t make any sense. ❜
❛ It’s literally not possible. ❜
❛ What’s really going on here? You think that something may have happened to him? ❜
❛ You think somehow he’s found out about our affair. Has he found out? ❜
❛ I’m not interested in talking, or in anything you have to say. Just get dressed and get out. ❜
❛ You know, it’s not me you hate, it’s yourself. ❜
❛ Why didn’t you tell us? ❜
❛ So nothing’s confirmed. Everything’s on their word.
❛ Did you kill [name]? Did you lose your shit? ❜
❛ Do you think I’ve lost my shit and we’re gonna fuck each other up? ❜
❛ Oh, God. When I look at my hands, and my fingerprints…I can see them moving. ❜
❛ I’m not the one tied to a chair. You are. ❜
❛ We are disintegrating. Our bodies as fast as our minds. Can’t you feel it? ❜
❛ The person that started this journey won’t be the person that ends it. I want to be the one that ends it. ❜
❛ It will be in all of us. ❜
❛ Imagine dying frightened and in pain, and having that as the only part of you which survives. I wouldn’t like that at all. ❜
❛ [name] wants to face it. You want to fight it. But I don’t think I want either of those things. ❜
❛ One by one, all gone, except you. How do you explain that? ❜
❛ What was I? Was I you? Were you me? ❜
❛ My flesh moves like liquid. My mind is just cut loose. I can’t bear it. ❜
❛ You ever seen a phosphorus grenade go off? They’re kind of bright. Shield your eyes. ❜
❛ If you ever get out of here, you find [name] ❜
❛ We spoke. What was it we said? ❜
❛ It’s not like us. It’s unlike us. ❜
❛ I don’t know what it wants. Or if it wants. ❜
❛ So it was alien. Can you describe its form? ❜
❛ It came here for a reason. ❜
❛ If what you encountered was once alive, it seems it’s now dead. ❜
❛ You aren’t [name]…are you? ❜
