The Maze Runner (film)

"This place– it's not what we thought it was. It's not a prison, it's a test. It all started when we were kids. They'd give us these challenges. They were experimenting on us. And then people started disappearing– every month, one after the other, like clockwork."

"I remember water– feeling like I was drowning. These faces staring at me. And this voice, this woman's voice saying the same thing over and over. [Thomas: WCKD is good.]"

"What if we were sent here for a reason?"

"We only have three rules– First– do your part. No time for any freeloaders. Second, never harm another Glader. None of this works unless we have trust. Most importantly– never go beyond those walls. Do you understand me, Greenie?"

"All right, it's like you've heard, yeah? Every month, the Box sends up a new arrival– but someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole month in the Glade alone. That was Alby. I mean, it can't have been easy– but when those other boys started coming up, one after the other, he saw the truth. And he learned that the most important thing is that we all have each other. Because we're all in this together."

""She's the last one– ever." What the hell does that mean?"

"It doesn't matter– any of it. Because the people we were before the Maze, they don't even exist anymore. These Creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now and what we do right now. You went into the Maze and you found a way out."

"I think– in all the time we've been here– no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb Shank stayed behind to help Alby. Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid– but whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a Runner."

"Day one, Greenie. Rise and shine."

"We gotta stop meeting like this, Greenie."

"You still think I'm overreacting?"

"Everything started going wrong the minute you showed up: First Ben, then Alby– and now the girl. Everybody saw she recognized you– and I'm betting you know who she is."

"Good luck against the Grievers."

"[In a recorded video] Hello. I'm Dr. Ava Paige. I'm Director of Operations at the World Catastrophe Killzone Department. If you're watching this, that means you've successfully completed the Maze Trials. I wish I could be there in person to congratulate you, but circumstances seem to have prevented it. I'm sure by now you must all be very confused, angry, frightened. I can only assure you that everything that's happened to you, everything we've done to you, it was all done for a reason. You won't remember, but the sun has scorched our world. Billions of lives lost to fire, famine. Suffering on a global scale. The fallout was unimaginable. What came after was worse. We called it the Flare. A deadly virus that attacks the brain. It is violent, unpredictable, incurable, or so we thought. In time a new generation emerged that could survive the virus, suddenly, there was a reason to hope for a cure. But finding it would not be easy. The young would have to be tested, even sacrificed, inside harsh environments where their brain activity could be studied. All in an effort to understand what makes them different. What makes you different. You may not realize it, but you're very important. Unfortunately, your trials have only just begun. [Sparks shower from a door across the room behind Paige. Ragtag soldiers dressed mostly in black break in and start gunning down the white-coated lab personnel as she speaks] As you'll no doubt soon discover, not everyone agrees with our methods. Progress is slow, people are scared. It may be too late for us, for me. But not for you. The outside world awaits. [The armed intruders are firing at the glass panels separating Paige from the rest of the lab. Paige raises a revolver to her temple.] Remember– WCKD is good."

"Well– I think it's safe to say the Maze Trials were a complete success. I wasn't expecting so many survivors, but– the more the merrier. Thomas continues to surprise and impress. And for now, they seem to have taken the bait. It's too soon to say, but– they could be the key to everything. So let's move forward. It's time now to begin– Phase Two."

"No. Well, I mean, I know I must have them. And wherever they are, I'm sure they miss me, but I can't miss them 'cause I don't remember them."

"Is this what all girls are like?"

"Yeah, what if Thomas is right? Maybe he can lead us home."

"Hey, Chuck. New Greenie, huh? How does it feel to be promoted?"

"[While watching Thomas run] Hey, we got a Runner!"

"Gally– it doesn't feel right, man."

"Get ready to run."
