[At Jill Tuck's drug clinic]

****, man! I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE ****IN' HOURS!!!

Michael

SHUT THE **** UP!!

You shut up.

Gus

Are you out of your ****in' mind?! [Bitch slaps Cecil]
Later...

John
[After Cecil takes out a switchblade]

You don't want to do that.

The ****'s your problem?

John

You're my problem. And you're becoming everybody else's, too.

[Cecil Adams awakens restrained to a chair by several blades jutting into his wrists]

Hey, it's you. You did this to me.

John

No. You did this to yourself. Your greed took the life of an innocent child.

Could you give me time to explain, please?

John

I can't give you time. No one can. Time's an illusion.

Look, look. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

John

I forgive you, Cecil. I do. Addiction has ruined your life.

I'm bleeding, man. Please just let me go.

John

I could let you go. That wouldn't serve you. I'll tell you what I will do, though. I'll give you a tool to reclaim your life, to discard the vices that have so corrupted your soul.

I don't have a **** soul.

John

Maybe you will in the next life, Cecil. You see, things aren't sequential. Good doesn't lead to good nor bad to bad. People who steal, don't get caught live the good life. Others lie, cheat and get elected. Some people stop to help a stranded motorist and get taken out by a speeding semi. There's no accounting for it. How you play the cards your dealt--that's all that matters. Look at me. Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

Oh, yeah. I understand. You're **** nuts!

[John sets a apparatus with 4 blades on both sides in front of Cecil] [Shouts]

What the **** is that?

John

It's the tool. The tool that's going to save your life. I want to play a game. [Places the apparatus on the chair] Your life is a lie, Cecil. Now comes your moment of truth. As a drug addict and a thief, you've preyed on the kindness of others to fuel your addiction. Today, we're bringing the ugliness inside you out into the open. Now, in order for you to stay alive, we have to match your face with the ugliness of your soul. Just lean forward into the knives with your face. Press hard enough and you'll release the arm and the leg restraints that bind you.

HELP!!!

John

Press hard though, and you'll be free.

You-you sick ****! **** you!
John:' Or you can sit idly and bleed out on the floor. Live or die, Cecil. Make your choice.

**** you! You sick ****! HELP!!!

Jigsaw
[Strahm enters Jigsaw's Lair from the third film]

... I've cause you and your wife tonight? Which is it gonna be, Jeff? Live or die, Jeff. Make our choice.

Jeff

I forgive you. [Power saw is heard]

Lynn

Jeff. Jeff!
[Strahm is outside the door when it closes]

Okay, "Four walls build a home." Care to shed any light on that?

Light on what?

On what your photos are doing at the crime scene. "Four walls build a home" ring any bells? "Cherish your life?"

John Kramer
[Flashback]

Cherish your life is the concept that this whole clinic was built on. Cherish your life. Your life.

[Present]

That's his motto.

No, it's your motto. Of the clinic you run.

[Flashback]

****, man! I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE ****IN' HOURS!

Michael

SHUT THE **** UP!

You shut up!

Gus

Are you out of your ****in' mind?! [Punches Cecil]

[A massive fight ensues]

Cecil! Stop it! Gus! Knock it off now! Please!

John
[Later...] [After Cecil takes out a switchblade]

You don't want to do that.

The ****'s your problem?

John

You're my problem. And you're becoming everybody else's, too.

All I wanted to do was help them.

John

You can't help them. They have to help themselves.

Did you try to contact him again?

I tried. But a new person crawled out of the wreckage. Someone else survived.

John
[Flashback] [Jill enters the Gideon Factory, where she discovers photographs of Cecil, drawings, and something underneath a tarp]

I asked you not to come here.

I need to talk to you. John, John. [Shows him a newspaper] What is this? Why do you have Cecil's picture? What have you done to him?

John

I taught him not to take life for granted.

What's happened to you?

John

What's happened to me? [Picks up a crowbar] What's happened to me?! [Smashes a small antique clock with the crowbar] Now you don't come back. You do it for yourself if you can't do it for me.

I lost him, too.
