A scene from Saw III 2006
Lynn Denlon

What do you want from me?

John

What do I want? I want to play a game. The rules of the game are simple. The consequences for breaking them are great: death. You are being tested. Your will is being tested--your will to keep someone alive. Can you do that? Can you follow the rules and grant someone the gift of life?

Lynn Denlon

What is this?!

John

[Amanda places a large collar onto Lynn's shoulders]

The device you are wearing is hooked to my heart rate monitor. The second that heart rate monitor flatlines, or you move out of range, an explosion will go off in that collar. Your life and my life will end simultaneously.

Lynn Denlon

Please. Please don't do this to me. I have a family. I have a family.

Amanda

Let me give you the simple version: you will keep him alive, whatever it takes. No excuses, no equivocations... no crying.

Lynn Denlon

What do you mean, "Keep him alive?"

Amanda

Out there, on those screens, we have another test subject. A man. He will face a series of tests. [Arms one of the collar shells, then another] You will keep John alive until he makes it through. [Arms the third shell] If he completes all of his tests and John is still breathing... [Arms the fourth shell] then I will remove your collar... [Arms the final shell] and you're free to go.

John

You're a vital piece of my puzzle, Dr. Denlon. A critical part of what could be my final test. Amanda, it's time to start our game.
