• Junior : How do we get into that room?

  [Burnham laughs] 

  Junior : Hey! What is funny about this? Is this shit funny to you?

  Burnham : Well, I spent the last 12 years of my life building these rooms specifically to keep out people like us.

  Junior : It's all so ironic and amusing, okay? Now, how do we get in?

• Raoul : [to Sarah]  Don't you look at me.

  Burnham : Hey, all I know about this is what I've seen on TV. You gotta talk me through this.

  [fills syringe with insulin] 

  Burnham : Nice house you guys got. Mom's rich?

  Sarah : Dad's rich. Mom's just mad.

  Burnham : Like this?

  Sarah : Tap it.

  Burnham : I wish I could put my kid in a place like this. Not that I didn't try. Just sometimes things they don't work out the way you want them to. Wasn't supposed to be like this. You weren't supposed to be here.

  Sarah : Thanks.

  [reads jumpsuit] 

  Sarah : Burnham.

  Burnham : Wasn't supposed to be like this.

• Burnham : Who are you?

  Raoul : I'm Raoul.

• Burnham : He's telling the truth.

  Raoul : Yeah, he's telling the truth... you know how I know? Cause when I do this...

  [Raoul points the gun at Burnham] 

  Raoul : ...people don't lie.

• Raoul : This kid has seen my face.

  Burnham : Yeah, well, that's not my problem.

  Raoul : Yeah it is. You're here with me. You're on the hook too.

  Raoul : [Raoul looks at Sarah]  Do one. Same price for the rest.

  Burnham : Stay the fuck away from me.

• Burnham : Do you need this?

  [Sarah nods yes] 

  Burnham : Can you do it yourself?

  [Sarah nods no] 

  Burnham : What happens if you don't get it?

  Sarah : [weak whispering]  Coma. Die.

• Junior : She's coming down to you!

  Burnham : Hey, I told you, I don't hurt people.

• Meg : Open the door so I can give her the shot.

  Burnham : If we open the door you'll shoot us!

  Meg : So give her the shot yourself!

• Burnham : [hearing an ominous clicking sound]  Turn the gas off. Turn the gas off right now.

• Junior : [shouts]  Worst that's gonna happen is... is they'll pass out. They'll have a hang over.

  Burnham : How are we gonna get in there if they pass out, Junior?

  Junior : [pauses]  Cut it back a little.

• Burnham : This is what I do; if some idiot with a sledgehammer could break in, do you really think I'd still have a job?

• Burnham : Nice house you guys have got.

  Burnham : Your mom's rich.

  Sarah Altman : Dad's rich.

  Sarah Altman : Mom just married it.
