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
Which textbook did you swallow?
[to Will]
Will
Nice to meet you too. I'm Will. Erudite.
Christina
Of course you are. No offense, but I'm surprised Abnegation even eats at all. Too selfish, right? No wonder you left.
[turns to Tris]
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. You're Dauntless now.
[Tris, Christina, Al, and Will turn to Four]
Tris
Were you a transfer too? Or Dauntless born?
Four
Are you kidding?
[shakes his head in slight surprise]
Tris
No.
[bluntly]
Four
What makes you think you can talk to me?
Tris
It...it must be because you're so approachable.
[pause]
Four
Careful.
[he takes a sip from his glass]
Christina
You, my friend, have a death wish.
Will

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
Yeah, so we got that to look forward to, right?
[chuckles]
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
Yeah, what's amazing is how she's gonna knock you right out of Dauntless.
[who just arrives at the dorm turns to Al]
Al
She's not gonna knock me out of Dauntless.
Peter
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.
[to Al]
Christina
Do you ever stop talking?!
Peter
I just want to know how she does it. What's your trick?
[turns to Tris]
Tris
I don't have a trick.
Peter
Nobody gets through it that fast. Why don't you tell us how you do it? At least tell your friends.
[Tris doesn't respond and ignores him; walks off]
Al
What's he talking about? Is there some way to make it easier?
Tris
No.
Tris
No. I'm not...I'm not doing anything.
[hesitates]
