Divergent

[first lines, narration] We're lucky to be in the city. They say the war was terrible, that the rest of the world was destroyed. Our founders built the wall to keep us safe, and they divided us into five groups, factions, to keep the peace. The smart ones, the ones who value knowledge and logic, are in Erudite. They know everything. Amity farm the land. They're all about kindness and harmony, always happy. Candor value honesty and order. They tell the truth...even when you wish they wouldn't. And then there's Dauntless. They're our protectors, our soldiers, our police. I always thought they were amazing. Brave, fearless and free. Some people think Dauntless are crazy, which they kind of are. My faction is Abnegation. The others all call us "Stiffs." We lead a simple life, selfless, dedicated to helping others. We even feed the Factionless, the ones who don't fit in anywhere. Because we're public servants, we're trusted to run the government. My father works alongside our leader, Marcus

Natalie: Are you nervous? Tris: No. Were you? For your test? Natalie: Mm-mm, no. I was terrified. [Tris smiles] But I didn't have any reason to be and neither do you. [kisses Tris on the forehead and closes the mirror] That's all you get. Rules are rules.

Tori: Get up. We're going out the back door before a supervisor comes. Tris: But what was my result? Tori: Come on! [drags Tris to the back door] Tris: What happened? Tori: You're going to tell your family that the serum made you sick and that I sent you home, alright? [prepares to open the door] Tris: No, but what was my result? Tori: Abnegation.... And Erudite...and Dauntless. Tris: [hesitating] Dauntless. Tori: Your results were inconclusive. Tris: That...that's impossible. That doesn't make any sense. Tori: No, not impossible. It's just extremely rare. They call it "Divergent". You can't tell anyone about this, not even your parents. As far as the world is concerned you received an Abnegation result because that is what I manually entered. [began to open the door] Tris: But what am I supposed to do at the choosing ceremony? Today, I was supposed to learn what to do; this was supposed to tell me what faction to choose, the test! We're supposed to trust the test--! Tori: The test did

Christina: Have you never seen a hamburger before? Tris: No, I...I've seen one, I just have never eaten one. Will: Abnegation eat only plain food; plant-based diet with no sauce and a minimum of seasoning. Christina: [to Will] Which textbook did you swallow? Will: Nice to meet you too. I'm Will. Erudite. Christina: Of course you are. [turns to Tris] No offense, but I'm surprised Abnegation even eats at all. Too selfish, right? No wonder you left. Will: You gotta be pretty self-confident to be friends with a Candor. Christina: What is that supposed to mean? Will: You have no filter. You say the first thing that comes into your head. Al: You mean, like, "you're an idiot"? Christina: Nice one, Al. Well, at least we tell the truth. Will: Erudite can tell the truth because we have the facts. Four: I don't wanna hear about your old factions. [Tris, Christina, Al, and Will turn to Four] You're Dauntless now. Tris: Were you a transfer too? Or Dauntless born? Four: [shakes his head in slight su

Tris: Can I just ask you--? Tori: You made a mistake choosing Dauntless. They'll find out about you here... Tris: Who? Who will? Tori: The people you're a threat to. Tris: What people? Who, Dauntless--? Tori: No. Society. If you don't fit into a category, they can't control you. Tris: I don't get it. I'm Dauntless. I'm going to be Dauntless. I chose Dauntless. Tori: For your sake, I hope so.

Four: You're not gonna jump, are you? Tris: No, I'm just trying to get a good vantage point. [continues climbing] Four: Good thinking. [drops his gun to follow her] Tris: You don't have to come with me. Four: You should go easy, you took a beating. Tris: I'm surprised you noticed. I saw you leave during the fight. Four: Yeah, well. It's not something I wanted to watch.
