Page 2 of 4[John and Amanda continue their instructions to Valentina's game]
The dotted line on your leg marks the spot.
Are you **** crazy? What makes you think I’d **** cut off my own leg?
Because if you don’t, the wire saw that’s wrapped around your neck will first cut into your skin, then your vertebral ligaments and finally, it’ll sever your spinal cord.
The CliffsNotes version? [whispering to Valentina] It’s gonna cut your head off.
[John sets up Valentina's game, revealing a wire saw inside the box]
The key to your freedom is inside that box.
What the hell is that?
It’s a Gigli saw.
I thought you said there was a key?
He was speaking metaphorically, He does that a lot.
That’s a good plan. You’re gonna wanna really listen carefully to the rules in order to pull that off.
Oh, really? A lecture on moral decency from you?
Cecilia Pederson, Parker Sears. You've each been working a grift. Playing a role, working together. Continuing to play out your scam, never realizing that you have been the marks all night long. You were given a chance for redemption. But at every turn, you chose death instead of life. You have played your last con game, but not your last game. The two of you have worked together to destroy others. Now you'll work against... each other. Only one can survive. And the choice is yours.
Hello, Diego. Or should I call you Doctor Cortez? I'd like to play a game. Attached to your arms are two explosive devices—pipe bombs. Think of the explosives as a sort of.. cancer; a malignancy that must be cut out for you to survive. The blades cannot cut through the galvanized cable, but they can slice through flesh and muscle, allowing you to cut the cancer away. Live or die; the choice is yours.
Hello, Mateo. It's time to play a game. The rules are simple: place a big enough piece of your cerebral tissue into the glass enzyme tank, and you win. If you complete your task in less than three minutes, the enzymes will dissolve the tissue, and close a circuit. This will save your life. But know this: the brain is a remarkably resilient organ. There have been accounts of people undergoing complete anatomical hemispherectomies—half their brain removed—only to have it rewire itself, so that the patient not only survives, but thrives. The only thing I have not provided is your anesthetic. But trust me, you will want to remain alert. If you fail to act, the consequences will not go well for you. Do not waste time. Live or die; the choice is yours.
I'd like to play a game. Perhaps one that addresses those sticky fingers of yours. I've had my eyes on you. And I do not like what I see. Your job as a custodian is a noble one: sanitizing and sterilizing the hospital. Helping patients avoid sickness. But there is a sickness inside you that needs to be excised. You have the ability to not only save your soul today... but your sight. All you have to do is click the dial across the five positions and you will live to see another day. You have sixty seconds.
[from a deleted scene]
When I was a kid, my uncle used to take me fishing. Each lure attracted a different kind of fish. You went fishing too, didn't you, Cecilia? Phishing with a "ph". It's the same concept: you trick your prey. You target the weak. What was the lure that you used to hook me? It was my life... My life. My desire to live another day.

I once told you we're not so different, you and I, John, and I was right. We are liars, both of us. The only difference? I'm... I'm not a psychopath. Take a look around the **** room, John! It's a slaughterhouse in here! How can you justify this?
[in a deleted scene]
You know, I really should've seen you coming. I've played so many games, and here I got played. Played!
[in a deleted scene]
You're right about me: I'm a huge disappointment to my father. Great scientist, horrible dad. I grifted off his name. Shitting on his legacy was just a bonus, I'll admit that. I rob, and I steal, and I cheat. Money that's about to go to some government or someone's poor children, I don't care. I admit it. Why can't you admit to what you really are?
All of you. All of you... All of you. You promised dying people -- [at the top of his lungs] DYING PEOPLE!!! -- that you could save their lives. And in doing so, you took advantage of the only thing... that they still possessed: Hope.
