Ava Paige quotes from Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)

Patricia Clarkson
A line from Ava Paige

She's right. This is all just a means to an end. You used to understand that, Thomas. No matter what you think of me, I am not a monster. I'm a doctor. I swore an oath to find a cure! No matter the cost. I just need more time.

Janson

Thomas, thank you for seeing me. Sorry for the inconvenience; I was just hoping we could have a few moments to chat in private, away from the others. Well, I won't take up too much of your time. I may only have one question. What do you remember about WCKD? You're not in any trouble; we're just having a conversation. I'm just trying to understand.

Thomas

Understand what?

Janson

Whose side are you on?

Thomas

I remember I used to work for WCKD. I remember that they sent me into the Maze. I remember watching my friends die in front of me. I'm on their side.

Janson

Interesting. You say you worked for WCKD, but they sent you into the Maze. Why would they do that?

Thomas

I don't know. Maybe you should've asked 'em before you killed 'em all!

Janson

Good evening, Dr. Paige. Lovely to see you again. Although, I admit, I-I wasn't expecting to hear from you quite so soon.

Dr. Ava Paige

Change in plans, Janson. I'll be arriving a little sooner than expected; first thing tomorrow.

Janson

Oh, we'll be delighted to have you. I think you'll be pleased with the progress we've made. As you can see, early results have been extremely promising. Whatever it is you've been doing to them in there, it's working.

Dr. Ava Paige

Not well enough. I've just received Board approval. I want all of the remaining subjects sedated and prepped for harvest by the time I arrive.

Janson

Dr. Paige, we're going as fast as we can. We are still running tests–

Dr. Ava Paige

Try something faster. Until I can guarantee their security, this is the best plan.

Janson

Ma'am, security is my job; we're on 24-hour lockdown here. I can assure you, the assets are secure.

Dr. Ava Paige

Have you found the Right Arm?

Janson

Not yet. We've tracked them as far as the mountains–

Dr. Ava Paige

So they're still out there. And they've already hit two of our installations. They want these kids as badly as we do. And I cannot– I cannot afford another loss. Not now, when I'm so close to a cure. If you are not up to the task, I will find someone who is.

Janson

That won't be necessary. May I suggest we start with the most recent arrivals–

Dr. Ava Paige

Just get it done. [Janson starts to leave] Janson. I don't want them to feel any pain.

Janson

They won't feel a thing.

Thomas

Open this door, Janson!

Janson

You really don't want me to.

Thomas

OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR!

Janson

Listen to me! I'm trying to save your life! The Maze was one thing, but you kids wouldn't last one day out in the Scorch. If the elements don't kill you, the Cranks will. Thomas, you have to believe me. I only want what's best for you.

Thomas

Yeah, lemme guess– WCKD is good?

Newt

I wish Alby could've seen all this.

Thomas

And Winston. And Chuck.

Newt

He'd be proud of you, you know, Tommy.

Thomas

thanks ya old shank

Jordan Christensen

quit your guy's smooching and hurry up we need to run if we want to make it on time.
