Confronting Fear and Choice in Life
Tape
Rise and shine, Adam. You're probably wondering where you are. I'll tell you where you might be. You might be in the room you die in. Up until now you simply sat in the shadows watching others live out their lives. But what do voyeurs see when they look into the mirror? Now, I see you as a strange mix of someone angry, yet apathetic. But mostly just pathetic. So are you going to watch yourself die today, Adam, or do something about it?
Adam Stanheight
I don't get it.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Throw me the player.
Adam Stanheight
No. You throw me your tape.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Look, we're going to have to work together if we want to get out of here. Now just throw it to me!
Adam Stanheight
I'm not gonna risk breaking it. You throw me your tape!
Tape
Dr. Gordon, this is your wake-up call. Every day of your working life you have given people the news that they're going to die soon. Now, you will be the cause of death. Your aim in this game is to kill Adam. You have until six on the clock to do it. There's a man in the room with you. When there's that much poison in your blood, the only thing left to do -- is shoot yourself. There are ways to win this hidden all around you. Just remember, X marks the spot for the treasure. If you do not kill Adam by six, then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Gordon... and I'll leave you in this room to rot. Let the game begin.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Give me that. Now.
Tape
...then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Gordon... and I'll leave you in this room to rot.
Adam Stanheight
Any idea who that is?
Tape
...Let the game begin.
Adam Stanheight
He knows us.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Wait a minute.
[rewinds the tape again]
Adam Stanheight
What do you think? Probably a joke, right?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Shh, shh.
[presses play]
Tape
...Let the game begin.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Listen.
[whispers]
Tape
Follow your heart.
[whispers]
Adam Stanheight
What the hell does follow your heart mean?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
There! Right next to you, on the toilet.
[points at the toilet]
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Come on.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Anything?
Adam Stanheight
No solids.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Take off the lid. Come on.
Adam Stanheight
I really wish I had checked in there first.
[takes off the toilet lid and pulls out a plastic bag]
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
What is it?
[chuckles]
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Hey! Mind passing me the other one?
Adam Stanheight
Fuck! Fuck!
[hacksaw breaks; smashes broken hacksaw at the pipe and throws it at a mirror]
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
He doesn't want us to cut through our chains. He wants us to cut through our feet.

Evaluating Cole's Return to Daytona Racing
Harry Gant
Daytona is a tough racetrack. And I'm sure, myself and everyone, are going to keep an eye on Cole to see if he's there, you know, all his reflexes and everything.
Neil Bonnett
He's plenty capable of running that racecar good and I don't think he has any kind of effects from the accident that would be a factor in the way he performs.
Aldo Bennedetti
I'm glad he's well enough to come back and I hope to beat him at the same time.
Rusty Wallace
You know a lot of guys don't like him. And it's just a situation where the guy's got a lot of talant. He's wide open, he doesn't think about anything else, he just wants to win. I like that.
Russ Wheeler
Since the crash, he's been a danger to himself and the other drivers. But if he comes near me, I'm going to put him in the wall. Simple as that. I don't expect I'll see too much of him. Except in my rearview mirror.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon

Adam Stanheight

Adam Stanheight
Instinct.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Instinct?
Adam Stanheight
Yeah.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
You know what? You're a terrible liar.
Adam Stanheight
You say that like you know me.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
What else aren't you telling me?
Adam Stanheight
Well, um, let's see. On my sixth birthday, my best friend at the time, Scott Tibbs, stabbed me with a rusty nail. I didn't tell you about that. I didn't tell you that my last girlfriend, who was a feminist vegan punk, broke up with me because she thought I was too angry. Uh, I haven't told you that one of my toenails is slightly-
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Just stop it! You knew to turn off these lights.
Adam Stanheight
Whatever.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
I'm dealing with a juvenile.
Adam Stanheight
You wanna know?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Yeah!
Adam Stanheight
Here it is.
[Throws the picture to Lawrence]
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
Oh God... W...where did you get this?
Adam Stanheight
It was in your wallet, behind the photo of your daughter.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
W...why didn't you show me this before?
Adam Stanheight
I couldn't. I'm sorry.
[Lawrence begins to quietly sob]
Dr. Lawrence Gordon
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM YOU BASTARD?!

Well, let me enlighten you people. This baby has satellite com-link. We've got an onboard pulse Doppler, and we've got NEXRAD real-time. Today, we're gonna make history. So stick around, cause the days of sniffing the dirt are over.
Rabbit
Better than what you sniff.
Bill
We'll see who gets it first, PAL.
Jonas
Oh, and by the way... I really enjoy your weather reports.
