This might be an unpopular question, but... plenty of people have said that the person they were was nothing like them at all. Did anyone have the opposite? That they were someone quite familiar. Perhaps how they used to be in the past, or how they'd be if something seemingly insignificant never happened, or did happen?

I'm also wondering whether everyone was like that, and people are just denying it. [That strike was obliterated.]

I've never been more grateful for spotting inefficiency in queuing. Nor for East Carmine. Nor for Pointless Tasks.

So yes! If you... could see some of yourself in the person you were, perhaps it might be good to share what you're grateful for that made you like you today. Inmates too. It's better to be yourself and know what made you that way than to be... a drone of the Collective forced to be something else.

You're not really like

I won't let you be like...

Just how many people did you youknow wi

No, that's like you getting upset over Vio...

And that was entirely different now I think

You know what, if this is how easily it goes to brown, go hom

I'm coming to see you. If you don't want me to, say now and I'll stop.

[Private to Victor]

I'm sorry about that. Even if that wasn't... the you I know, I'm sorry.

There's something I'd like to show you.

[Private to George]

I think, generally, we have enough difficulties around here with floods like this.

So when... when everyone's alright, I'd like to take you up on your offer.

If you're alright.

[Private to Una]

Are you alright?

If you are, I'd like to show you something. About what we discussed before.

[pause]

I don't suppose you can get me a bacon sandwich, can you? A merit and... [bad habits] Never mind. I'll repay you some how if you can.

You know, I like being here, sometimes. All the... violence, the chaos...

It reminds me why the Rules exist. Because not a single one of you act with regard for anyone else. You're all selfish and have no concern for the Collective. No concern for each other.

You Previous... you're everything we were told. Worship of the Me. That's what we believe you all did, with your hollow eyes and your Parker Brothers' maps.

And that's all I see, day in, day out, here.

I can't wait to get home. Soon. I miss Constance. That's the appropriate thing to say, right?

Lime is a narcotic. Abuse of medicinal hue, especially Green, can lead to the degradation of the visual cortex.

Jane Brunswick needs us to intervene. Sooner rather than later. We need to remove the Greens she's requested from her possession before she damages herself seriously.

[Private to Victor]

Fifty merits if you can find anyone affected by the... strangeness some people are demonstrating. It's worrying and disruptive to the collective.


Also, violin lessons tonight. Bring the Vivaldi.
[Private to Una]

I'm worried about Jane. She just... refuses to listen to the Rules and I don't want her to go... on the Night Train, you know?

I'm sure she's not crazy like people say, but... the way she treats me, the things she does...

She will deserve what ever happens to her.

Brunswick.

Did you eat all the bacon?

[He's noticed other folks. Here comes cagy Eddie. There is no bacon-shortage, he just wants to talk to her.]
