Alan Wake II

"A young woman on a mission to save a missing loved one. Desperately trying to stay one step ahead of the shadowy government agents hunting her. Agents from the very same agency... that took the only person she cares about. On her quest, she is guided by her mysterious alien guardian angel. Her guiding star shows her the way, as it always has. She does not know what strangeness awaits her, as she follows its unwavering light to the small town... of Night Springs. Tonight's dreamlike episode: "North Star"."

"A conspiracy within a conspiracy. How can one expose a lie when the truth exists beyond our wildest imagination? Who can ever truly know how deep the rabbit hole goes in... Night Springs?"

"We often look back and wonder, "what if?" What if the path not taken had, in fact, been our charted course? Would we be happier? Or are we, with our set of choices behind us, the lucky ones? And what if nothing would be different? What if, for some of us, our destiny across the endless number of version of ourselves, has been defined and locked beyond any causality of circumstance? Beyond the forces in any one reality, but across... all realities? For one man, the magnetic pull of destiny is so great, it breaks time and space. We join this lone operative -- many versions of him, in fact -- as he chases his nemesis, a dangerous being known as the Master of Many Worlds, across the multiverse. Across the many versions of a city that is always the same, yet always different in... Night Springs. Tonight's reality-bending episode: "Time Breaker"."

"I am... on the threshold. Liminal... A DOOR! EVERYWHERE!"

"We have witnessed a case of mistaken identity. But in the vastness of the multiverse, with an endless number of versions of ourselves... what is identity, anyway? Can there be more than one Master of Many Worlds? Or did our take a wrong turn somewhere along the way? Was this particular journey precisely what was needed to make him the one he was meant to become? One thing is certain: I am your host. The one and only Warlin Door. And this is... Night Springs."

"We made this! Our story! Our ending! Our book! We are one! We belong together! Welcome me back home!"

"[as the Bad Boy, regarding the Writer] He had his chance for popcorn and movie nights, but he wanted to keep everything for himself! Too bad. You know what they say -- if you can't join 'em, beat 'em."

"[as the Bad Boy, imitating the Writer] Oh, joy! We can finally be together and sit through beat poetry readings and drink eighteen dollar cocktails and have high tea with the Queen!"

"[as the Bad Boy] I didn't want to do this, but you forced my hand. You see, I'm not just a rugged anti-hero type. I'm also... A werewolf! And my motorcycle is also a werewolf!"

"I'm so powerful that I don't need a full mooooooooon to transform!"

"Now you see the sexy monster within me!"

"My brother's not a werewolf, in case that wasn't clear."

"The Cult of the Tree: This is the ritual to lead you on. His friends will meet you when you're gone."

"Nightingale: You are not allowed in the lake until he says otherwise."

"Odin Anderson: Don't be the story. Make the story."

"Thomas Zane: "Oh, mercy. Thousands have gone missing. Beyond the labyrinth of me. When you're lost, you're lost in your own company." And cut! Oh... Now that is drama."

"Agent Estevez: Alan Wake is a Parautilitarian. The word's a mouthful, so you know it's serious."

"Nightless Night Opening Text: In a poem he told us, he once mistook an ocean for a lake. He spent his whole life in the depths of this mystery. Wandering in the shadows under a dark ocean. Forever searching for a way into the light to his love."

"Ahti: Earth is a cyclical song."

"Dr. Casper Darling: This place is a dreamscape! But who's the dreamer? And how do you wake up from this dream...?"

"Tor Anderson: Get your guitar roaring and your drums crashing! Blow reality's eardrums!"

"Agent Estevez: A whole lot of paranatural crimes happening right now... but it's fucking awesome! I want a t-shirt!"

"Rose / The Waitress: Life's a funny thing. You spend all your time wishing and hoping and dreaming for something and then BAM! Destiny shows up at your door like a mailman with a package you were pretty sure got lost because you ordered it, like, six months ago. But that's okay! When your destiny has eyes like sunsets and a beard like mahogany-covered velvet, you don't really mind how it arrives. But my day didn't start off with all that excitement! It began like any other day did for this for this waitress-slash-protector of the town of Night Springs!"

"Rose / The Waitress: [repeated line] The stakes had never been higher."

"Rose / The Waitress: I was leaving my old life behind, like a body left to sink in a lake so no one finds it."

"Rose / The Waitress: Why hadn't my writer ever told me he had a semi-evil twin brother? He must be waiting until our third or fourth date, surrounded by candles, so he could reveal this vulnerable chapter from the dramatic story of his emotionally troubled past. Oh... that man has more layers than a croissant."

"Rose / The Waitress: Whoops! Gotta put more bullets in."

"Rose / The Waitress: My writer believed in me. We were kindred spirits; we fit together like a bicycle chain and that spikey wheel thing the chain fits into."

"Female Hater: Are his books bad on purpose?!"

"Male Hater: I found numerous typos!"

"Rose / The Waitress: And there he was. After all the fighting, we were finally alone, together. Our love was written in the stars. And so, we danced like two spinning planets that would eventually crash into each other in a dazzling display of flames and rocks and other planet stuff. He told me all the sweet things I'd been waiting a lifetime to hear. I saw myself reflected in his eyes. I would always be at his side, to inspire and protect him. He needed me, now and forever. After all, I am his number one fan."

"Jesse Faden / The Sibling: This is gonna get... strange. There's no helping it. The universe is much deeper and weirder than people know. My brother and I know. We've seen it. We've seen you. But there are some people -- an agency -- that doesn't want anyone knowing more than what they see. That's why they took my brother, and have been chasing me my whole life. But I can't keep running."

"Orientation Video Narrator: Dark Triangle Coffee is a fast-growing company with ambitions to sweep the nation, and eventually the globe... with our out-of-this-world beverages! Drawn by our coffee's distinctive flavor and our unique beans, people are rushing to join the Dark Triangle Movement. The company's mission statement is simple: To drink the truth is to become one. Our financial and spiritual growth has been accelerating at speeds previously unknown to humanity. Soon, everyone will only know the flavor of Dark. Triangle. Coffee. And the world will be as one under its rich and aromatic umbrella of peace. And java great time here at Coffee World, where the flavor is out of this world."

"Jesse Faden / The Sibling: What is this agency trying to do here? Control people? But why? What's their plan? What if my brother has already been...? No. I didn't come all this way to lose him now."

"Infected Coffee Mascot: The promised Mug has been found. You feel like the Mug."

"Infected Coffee Mascot: Join the percolation."

"Sam Lake / The Director: Acronyms are cool, right? Like tiny mysteries!"

"Shawn Ashmore / The Actor: Okay! I'm an actor, I can do this. And once it's over, we'll have a good laugh. And then... I will punch Sam in the face!"

"Shawn Ashmore / The Actor: Something was different. A strange feeling. Still, yet moving. Like frozen snapshots on a sequential path. And yet, thoughts, flowing free-- like text read out loud."

"Jesebet / The Agent: Real and not real exist side-by-side in the multiverse. Echoes flow through it like currents in a cosmic ocean. The Sea of Night. Conceptual, fictional, real... More real than real. Many versions of us all, in hidden interaction, linked by the energies that ripple through realities."

"Jesebet / The Agent: [regarding Mr. Door] There are legends about him going further back than we can trace. They say he found an opening to a horrifying parallel reality that consumed him. Gave him access to all realities. The feedback loop killing all other versions of him."

"Time Breakers: Learn your lines, play the part. The Master of Many Worlds. We came through the door."

"Text Box: The words describe you standing in a barren, conceptual desert. It stretches on to eternity. In a place outside time, you wait an immeasurable amount of time. Above, ideas of stars silently collide and collapse into black holes."

"Text Box: You tell yourselves you can rest here. You think you can be happy here."

"Text Box: You step inside and stand in a room with a man, the Master of Many Worlds, sitting behind a desk, typing, turning concepts and ideas into words, shaping this reality. He lifts his head. You stare the man in the eye. With a shock, you realize you have made a mistake. You have come to the wrong place. This man, this Master of Many Worlds, is not the one you were looking for. He is not Door. He is someone else entirely. You want to ask him what he knows, but it is already too late."
