8 quotesDiscovery of Clue in the Maze
Thomas
Yeah, we found this. It was inside a Griever.
Newt
These are the same letters we get on our supplies.
Thomas
Yeah, whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers. Now this is the first real clue, the first anything, you've found in over three years. Right, Minho?
Minho
Right.
Thomas
Newt, we gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us.
Gally
You see what he is trying to do, right? First he breaks our rules and then he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that? If Alby was here, you know he'd agree with me. This Shank needs to be punished.
Newt
You're right. Thomas broke the rules. One night in the Pit and no food.
Gally
Oh, come on, Newt! One night in the Pit? You think that's gonna stop him from going into the Maze?
Newt
No. And we can't just have non-Runners running into the Maze whenever they feel like it, so let's just make this official. Starting from tomorrow, you're a Runner.
Gally
Wow.
[Starts to leave]
Frypan
Gally.
[Tries to stop Gally from leaving]
Gally
No, Fry.
[Pushes Frypan's hand away from him]
Thomas
Thanks, Newt.

Desperation in a hopeless situation
Minho
Where?
Thomas
I don't know– Minho, just think. Are you telling me there's not a single place we can take him?
Minho
Listen to me, shuck-face. All right? Take a look around! There's nowhere to go! You don't get it. We're already dead.
[Growls in ferocity and savagery and grabs Thomas by his shirt; There are more screeches and wails in the distance; Minho stands and looks towards the noises]

Consequences of Breaking Established Rules
Gally
Things are changing. There's no denying that. First Ben gets stung in broad daylight, and then Alby. And now our Greenie here has taken it upon himself to go into the Maze. Which is a clear violation of our rules here.
Frypan
Yeah, but he saved Alby's life.
Gally
Did he? For three years, we have coexisted with these things. And now, you've killed one of them. Who knows what that could mean for us?
[Holds up three fingers; Turns to Thomas and points at him]
Newt
Well, what do you suggest we do?
Gally
He has to be punished.
Newt
Minho– you were there with him. What do you think?
Minho
I think– in all the time we've been here– no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb Shank stayed behind to help Alby. Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid– but whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a Runner.
Chuck
Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Thomas!
[Starts chanting]
Gally
Look, if you wanna throw the newbie a parade, that's fine. Go ahead. But if there is one thing I know about the Maze, it is that you do not–
