Leaven
- Quentin: Why don't you tell us what your purpose is, Worth?
- Worth: Often wondered that myself. I'm just a guy, I work in an office building doing office building stuff. I wasn't exactly bursting with joie de vivre before I got here, life just sucks in general.
- Holloway: Oh I can't stand that attitude.
- Leaven: 'Cos he's right.
- Leaven: [to Worth and Holloway] Well... Duh! Have you been on glue all your lives? I felt guilty for ruining the world since I was like seven! God, if you need someone to blame throw a rock!
- Leaven: Give me a minute. Okay. The numbers are markers; points on the map, right?
- Worth: Right.
- Leaven: And how do you map a point that keeps moving?
- Worth: Permutations.
- Quentin: Permu - what?
- Leaven: Permutations. A list of all the coordinates that the room passes through. Like, a map that tells you where the room starts, how many times it moves, and where it moves to.
- Quentin: The number tells you all that?
- Leaven: I don't know. See, I've been looking at only one point on the map. Which is probably the starting position. All I saw was what the Cube looked like before it started to move.
- Quentin: Okay, so it's moving. How do we get out?
- Leaven: 27. - I know where the exit is.
- Quentin: [standing up] Where?
- Leaven: [ferociously] Stay away from me.
- Worth: Back off, Quentin!
- Quentin: I just want to know. Don't you want to know?
- Leaven: [to Worth] You remember that room we passed through before? The one with the coordinate larger than 26?
- Worth: What about it?
- Leaven: That coordinate placed the room outside the cube.
- Worth: A bridge!
- Leaven: Right! But only in its original position.
- Quentin: What are you talking about?
- Leaven: Look. The room starts off as a bridge. And then it moves its way through the maze, which is where we ran into it. But, at some point, it must return to its original position.
- Worth: So the bridge is only a bridge...
- Leaven: For a short period of time. This thing is like a giant combination lock. When the rooms are in their starting position, the lock is open. But when they move out of alignment, the lock closes!
- Worth: We've been going in circles.
- Quentin: That can't be.
- Worth: [Quentin hauls Leaven off the ground and over to the window to the outside] Where are we?
- Leaven: I don't know.
- Quentin: [roaring like a lion] Where are we?
- Leaven: *You* figure it out! You haven't done anything! All you do is freak out, you murderer!
- [Leaven weeps, while Worth is oddly laughing. Quentin drops to the floor]
- Quentin: I guess you were right, Worth. There is no way out of here.
- Quentin: [Quentin begins crying, and Kazan pats his head] Get away from me.
- Worth: [Worth has been thinking, and he gets to his feet] Wasn't Rennes killed in that room?
- [Worth re-opens the door to the darkness outside and asks:]
- Worth: How come there's nothing out there?
- Quentin: It's the edge.
- Worth: We weren't at the edge before. Where's the room that killed Rennes?
- Quentin: [flings a boot out into the darkness] Fuck off!
- Worth: Oh, that was good.
- Quentin: What difference does it make? We're dead anyways.
- Worth: Hey, listen to what I'm saying! There was a room there before. We haven't been moving in circles; the rooms have!
- Leaven: Of course.
- Quentin: Rooms...?
- Leaven: That explains the thunder and the shaking. We've been shifting the whole time.
- Leaven: It, it's the only logical explanation.
- [she climbs up to the window into darkness next to Worth]
- Leaven: I'm such an idiot.
- Worth: What are you on to, Leaven?
