    Gally: [Drops down into the Box and stares at Thomas] Day one, Greenie. [Grabs Thomas by his shirt] Rise and shine. [Pulls Thomas out of the Box and throws him onto the grass] Zart: [Enthusiastic] Hey, we got a Runner!

    Newt: Hell of a first day, Greenie. Here. [Gives Thomas the drink] Put some hair on your chest. Thomas: [Takes the drink from Newt and takes a sip from it, but spits it out] Oh, my God! What is that? [Gives Newt the drink back] Newt: [Takes the drink back from Thomas] I don't even know. It's Gally's recipe. It's a trade secret. Thomas: Yeah, well, he's still an asshole. Newt: He saved your life today. Trust me, the Maze is a dangerous place. Alby: All right, guys. Let's tuck it in for the night. Come on. It was a good night. Thomas: We're trapped here, aren't we? Newt: For the moment, but... you see those guys, there, by the fire? Those are the Runners. And that guy in the middle there, that's Minho. He's the Keeper of the Runners. Now, every morning, when those doors open, they run the maze, mapping it, memorizing it, trying to find a way out. Thomas: How long have they been looking? Newt: Three years. Thomas: And they haven't found anything? Newt: Its a lot easier said than done. Lis

    Thomas: Has anyone tried climbing to the top? Newt: Tried it. The ivy doesn't go all the way to the top. And besides, where are you gonna go from there? Thomas: Okay, what about the Box? You know, next time it comes up, we just– Newt: No, we tried that. The Box won't go back down with someone in it. Thomas: Okay, what if we– Newt: No, we tried it, all right? Twice, all right? Trust me, anything you think of, we've already tried. The only way out of here is through the Maze. Now, look, you wanna be helpful? [Picks up a basket with a shovel inside] Here. [Tosses Thomas the basket with the shovel inside. Thomas catches it] Go dig us up some more fertilizer.
  • Dialogue

    Minho: Where? Thomas: I don't know– Minho, just think. Are you telling me there's not a single place we can take him? Minho: [Growls in ferocity and savagery and grabs Thomas by his shirt] Listen to me, shuck-face. All right? Take a look around! There's nowhere to go! [There are more screeches and wails in the distance; Minho stands and looks towards the noises] You don't get it. We're already dead.

    Gally: Things are changing. There's no denying that. First Ben gets stung in broad daylight, and then Alby. And now our Greenie here has taken it upon himself to go into the Maze. Which is a clear violation of our rules here. Frypan: Yeah, but he saved Alby's life. Gally: Did he? [Holds up three fingers] For three years, we have coexisted with these things. [Turns to Thomas and points at him] And now, you've killed one of them. Who knows what that could mean for us? Newt: Well, what do you suggest we do? Gally: He has to be punished. Newt: Minho– you were there with him. What do you think? Minho: I think– in all the time we've been here– no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb Shank stayed behind to help Alby. Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid– but whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a Runner. Chuck: [Starts chanting] Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Gally: Look, if you wanna throw the newbie a parad

    Frypan: Newt, what do you see? Newt: [Discovers Teresa in the Box] It's a girl. Newt: I think she's dead. Gally: What's in her hand? Newt: "She's the last one ever." What the hell does that mean? Teresa: [Sees Thomas] Thomas. [Falls asleep] Gally: You still think I'm overreacting?
  • Dialogue

    Thomas: Yeah, we found this. It was inside a Griever. Newt: These are the same letters we get on our supplies. Thomas: Yeah, whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers. Now this is the first real clue, the first anything, you've found in over three years. Right, Minho? Minho: Right. Thomas: Newt, we gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us. Gally: You see what he is trying to do, right? First he breaks our rules and then he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that? If Alby was here, you know he'd agree with me. This Shank needs to be punished. Newt: You're right. Thomas broke the rules. One night in the Pit and no food. Gally: Oh, come on, Newt! One night in the Pit? You think that's gonna stop him from going into the Maze? Newt: No. And we can't just have non-Runners running into the Maze whenever they feel like it, so let's just make this official. Starting from

    Teresa: "She's the last one." What does that mean? Thomas: I'm not sure. Ever since you came up, that Box hasn't gone back down. You know, and I just think it's got everyone a little worried. Especially Gally. Teresa: He thinks it's my fault. Thomas: Are you sure you don't remember anything else? Teresa: I remember water, feeling like I was drowning. These faces staring at me. And this voice, this woman's voice saying the same thing over and over. Thomas: "WCKD is good." Ever since I've been here, I've had these dreams. Well, I thought they were dreams. You– You were there. You were there, and you told me that everything was gonna change. Teresa: What does it mean? Thomas: I don't know. I– I just always get pieces. Teresa: And the others don't remember anything? Thomas: No. Why are we different? Teresa: [Pulls out two vials of serum from her pocket] These were in my pocket when I came up. [Give Thomas the two vials of serum] Thomas: [Takes the two vials of serum from Teresa

    Newt: We don't even know what this stuff is. We don't know who sent it, or why it came up here with you. I mean, for all we know, this thing could kill him. Thomas: He's already dying. Look at him. How could this possibly make it any worse? Come on, it's worth a try. Newt: All right. [Gives Thomas the vial of serum] Do it. Thomas: [Turns to look at Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint] Okay. Alby: [Grabs Thomas and starts violently attacking him] You shouldn't be here! You shouldn't be here! NO! Thomas: Get the syringe! Jeff: Well, that worked. Newt: Okay, from now on, someone stays here and watches him around the clock. Gally: [Enters the hut] Hey. [Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint turn to him] Sundown, Greenie. Time to go.

    Thomas: Hey, what is your problem with me? Gally: Everything started going wrong the minute you showed up. First Ben, then Alby– and now the girl. Gally: Everybody saw she recognized you– and I'm betting you know who she is. Thomas: Gally. You know we can't stay here forever, right?

    Newt: What the hell is going on out there? Gally: What the hell you done now, Thomas? Thomas: We found something. A new passage. We think it could be a way out. Newt: Really? Minho: It's true. We opened a door. Something I've never seen before. I think it must be where the Grievers go during the day. Chuck: [Approaches Thomas and Minho] Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you saying you found the Grievers' home, and you want us to go in? Thomas: Their way in could be our way out, Chuck. Gally: Yeah, or there could be a dozen Grievers on the other side. The truth is, Thomas doesn't know what he's done, as usual. Thomas: [Turns around and faces Gally] Yeah, well, at least I did something, Gally. I mean, what have you done? Huh? Aside from hide behind these walls all the time? Gally: Let me tell you something, Greenie. You've been here three days, all right? I've been here three years. Thomas: Yeah, you've been here three years, and you're still here, Gally! All right, so what does that tell you?
  • Dialogue

    Thomas: Gally– Gally: This is all you, Thomas! Huh? Look around! Minho: Back off, Gally! It's not Thomas's fault! Gally: You heard what Alby said! He's one of them! Newt: One of who?! Gally: He's one of them, and they sent him here, to destroy everything, AND NOW HE HAS! Look around, Thomas! Look around! This is your fault! He's one of them, and they sent him here to destroy everything that we've built! Thomas: What if he's right? Teresa: Thomas? Thomas: I need to remember, Teresa. Teresa: Chuck, get the other syringe!

    Gally: This is such a waste. Winston: Gally– [Gally turns to him and Jeff] It doesn't feel right, man. Jeff: Yeah, what if Thomas is right? Maybe he can lead us home. Gally: [Steps towards Winston and Jeff] We are home, okay? I don't want to have to cross anymore names off that wall. Teresa: [While being held by a boy] You really think banishing us is going to solve anything? Gally: No– but this isn't a banishing. It's an offering. Teresa: What? Wait! Gally, what are you doing? Gally: You really think I'm gonna let Thomas back into the Maze after what he's done? Look around you! Look at our Glade! Gally: This is the only way. And when the Grievers get what they came here for, everything goes back to the way it was. Teresa: Are you listening to this? Why are you all just standing there? He's crazy! Gally: You shut up. Teresa: If you stay here, the Grievers are going to come back. They're gonna come back, and they're gonna keep coming back until you're all dead! Gally: Shut u
  • Dialogue

    Chuck: Is it over? Newt: She said we were important. What're we supposed to do now? Thomas: I don't know. Let's get outta here. Gally: [From behind the Gladers] No. Thomas: [To Gally] Gally? [Starts forward] Teresa: [Stops Thomas] [To Thomas] Don't. He's been stung. Gally: [Sobbing] [To Thomas] We can't leave. Thomas: [To Gally] We did, Gally, we're out. We're free. Gally: Free? [Gestures around the lab, then gestures towards the exit] You think we're free out there? No. No, there's no escape from this place. [Raises the pistol and points it at Thomas, still sobbing] Thomas: Gally, listen to me. You're not thinking straight. You're not. Now, we can help you. Thomas: Just put down the gun. Gally: I belong to the Maze. Thomas: Just put down the gun. Gally: We all do. Chuck: [Feels some pain in his chest] [To Thomas] Thomas– [Blood starts oozing from his chest] Thomas: [Tries to stop the bleeding on Chuck's chest, to no avail] Chuck. Chuck. Oh, no. Chuck? Chuck? Shit! Shit! Hey, loo
