Divergent - Facing Fears in a Dystopian World
Christina:
My whole body was covered in these little insects. They were in my ears, in my throat, I couldn't breathe.
Al:
I heard about this guy, like two years ago, got so panicked he had a heart attack in his chair, he almost died.
Christina:
What?
Will: [chuckles]
Yeah, so we got that to look forward to, right?
Christina:
You didn't seem to have any problems at all.
Tris:
Me? No, no. Oh, my God. It was awful.
Al:
Oh, come on. No one even came close to your time. You were amazing.
Peter: [who just arrives at the dorm turns to Al]
Yeah, what's amazing is how she's gonna knock you right out of Dauntless.
Al:
She's not gonna knock me out of Dauntless.
Peter: [to Al]
Look she's gone from being the worst to one of the best. Somebody's gotta take her place at the bottom. Who's it gonna be? You.
Christina:
Do you ever stop talking?!
Peter: [turns to Tris]
I just want to know how she does it. What's your trick?
Tris:
I don't have a trick.
Peter: [Tris doesn't respond and ignores him; walks off]
Nobody gets through it that fast. Why don't you tell us how you do it? At least tell your friends.
Al:
What's he talking about? Is there some way to make it easier?
Tris:
No.
Tris: [hesitates]
No. I'm not...I'm not doing anything.

Divergent - Discovering Food in a New Environment
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: [turns to Tris]
Of course you are. 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: [Tris, Christina, Al, and Will turn to Four]
I don't wanna hear about your old factions. You're Dauntless now.
Tris:
Were you a transfer too? Or Dauntless born?
Four: [shakes his head in slight surprise]
Are you kidding?
Tris: [bluntly]
No.
Four:
What makes you think you can talk to me?
Tris: [pause]
It...it must be because you're so approachable.
Four: [he takes a sip from his glass]
Careful.
Christina:
You, my friend, have a death wish.
Will: [muttering]
You know he was first in his class. They tried to recruit him for leadership twice, but he said no.
