Embracing Identity Beyond Past Experiences
Newt
It doesn't matter– any of it. Because the people we were before the Maze, they don't even exist anymore. These Creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now and what we do right now. You went into the Maze and you found a way out.

Trust and loyalty in difficult times
Newt
Thomas, listen to me. I've known Minho for– well, as long as I can remember. So if there is any way we could help him, trust me, I would be up there standing next to you. This, what you're talking about– is impossible.

Seeking Understanding in a Difficult Situation
Daniel
So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school – are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam
You really want to know?
Daniel
I really want to know.
Sam
Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?
Daniel
Even if that's the case, yeah.
Sam
OK. The truth is actually... I'm in love.
Daniel
Sorry?
Sam
I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Daniel
Aren't you a bit young to be in love?
Sam
No.
Daniel
Oh, OK, right. Well, I'm a little relieved.
Sam
Why?
Daniel
Well, you know – I thought it might be something worse.
Sam
Worse than the total agony of being in love?
[incredulous]
Daniel
Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.

Discovery of a Mysterious Girl
Frypan
Newt, what do you see?
Newt
It's a girl.
[Discovers Teresa in the Box]
Newt
I think she's dead.
Gally
What's in her hand?
Newt
She's the last one ever." What the hell does that mean?
Teresa
Thomas.
[Sees Thomas; Falls asleep]
Gally
You still think I'm overreacting?

Unity in the Face of Adversity

Discovery 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.

The Concept of "The One" in Love
Daniel
You know, Sammy, I'm sure she's unique and extraordinary, but... the general wisdom is that, in the end, there isn't just one person for each of us.
Sam
] film] There was for Kate and Leo. There was for you. There is for me. She's "the one".
[referring to the [[Titanic; holds up one finger]
Daniel
Fair enough.

Debate Over Risky Medical Decision
Newt
We don't even know what this stuff is. We don't know who sent it, or why it came up here with you. I mean, for all we know, this thing could kill him.
Thomas
He's already dying. Look at him. How could this possibly make it any worse? Come on, it's worth a try.
Newt
All right. Do it.
[Gives Thomas the vial of serum]
Thomas
Okay.
[Turns to look at Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint]
Alby
You shouldn't be here! You shouldn't be here! NO!
[Grabs Thomas and starts violently attacking him]
Thomas
Get the syringe!
Jeff
Well, that worked.
Newt
Okay, from now on, someone stays here and watches him around the clock.
Gally
Hey. Sundown, Greenie. Time to go.
[Enters the hut; Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint turn to him]

A Farewell Letter from Newt
Newt
Dear Thomas– this is the first letter I can remember writing. Obviously, I don't know if I wrote any before the Maze. But even if it's not my first, it's likely to be my last. I want you to know that I'm not scared. Well, not of dying, anyway. It's more forgetting. It's losing myself to this virus, that's what scares me. So every night, I've been saying their names out loud. Alby, Winston, Chuck. And I just repeat them over and over like a prayer, and it– and it all comes flooding back. Just the little things like where the sun used to hit the Glade at that perfect moment right before it slipped beneath the walls. And I remember the taste of Frypan's stew. I never thought I'd miss that stuff so much. And I remember you. I remember the first time you came up in the Box, just a scared little Greenie who couldn't even remember his own name. But from that moment you ran into the Maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere. And I have. We all have. If I could do it all over again, I would. And I wouldn't change a thing. And my hope for you– is when you're looking back years from now, you'll be able to say the same. The future's in your hands now, Tommy. And I know you'll find a way to do what's right. You always have. Take care of everyone for me. And take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy. Thank you for being my friend. Goodbye, mate. Newt.

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–

Unexpected First Day Challenges in the Glade
Newt
Hell of a first day, Greenie. Here. Put some hair on your chest.
[Gives Thomas the drink]
Thomas
Oh, my God! What is that?
[Takes the drink from Newt and takes a sip from it, but spits it out; Gives Newt the drink back]
Newt
I don't even know. It's Gally's recipe. It's a trade secret.
[Takes the drink back from Thomas]
Thomas
Yeah, well, he's still an asshole.
Newt
He saved your life today. Trust me, the Maze is a dangerous place.
Alby
All right, guys. Let's tuck it in for the night. Come on. It was a good night.
Thomas
We're trapped here, aren't we?
Newt
For the moment, but... you see those guys, there, by the fire? Those are the Runners. And that guy in the middle there, that's Minho. He's the Keeper of the Runners. Now, every morning, when those doors open, they run the maze, mapping it, memorizing it, trying to find a way out.
Thomas
How long have they been looking?
Newt
Three years.
Thomas
And they haven't found anything?
Newt
Its a lot easier said than done. Listen. Hear that? It's the maze, changing. It changes every night.
Thomas
How is that even possible?
Newt
You can ask the people who put us in here, if you ever meet the bastards. Listen the truth is... the Runners are the only ones who really know what's out there. They are the strongest and the fastest of us all. And it's a good thing, too... because if they don't make it back before those doors close... then they are stuck out there for the night, and no one has ever survived a night in the maze.
Thomas
What happens to them?
Newt
Well, we call em Grievers. Of course, no one's ever seen one and lived to tell about it, but they're out there.

Irony of Escape and Return
Newt
Funny. Spent three years trapped behind walls, trying to break out, and now we wanna break back in.

Exploring Limits in a Confined Space
Thomas
Has anyone tried climbing to the top?
Newt
Tried it. The ivy doesn't go all the way to the top. And besides, where are you gonna go from there?
Thomas
Okay, what about the Box? You know, next time it comes up, we just–
Newt
No, we tried that. The Box won't go back down with someone in it.
Thomas
Okay, what if we–
Newt
No, we tried it, all right? Twice, all right? Trust me, anything you think of, we've already tried. The only way out of here is through the Maze. Now, look, you wanna be helpful? Here. Go dig us up some more fertilizer.
[Picks up a basket with a shovel inside; Tosses Thomas the basket with the shovel inside. Thomas catches it]

Navigating Young Love and Friendship Challenges
Daniel
Option One: ask her out.
Sam
Impossible.
Daniel
Fair enough. Option Two: become her friend.
Sam
She's the most popular girl in school and she hates boys.
Daniel
Okay. Option Three: kidnap her and keep her tied up in your room until she agrees to marry you.
Sam
It's a route I've considered.
Daniel
And quite rightly rejected on the grounds of...
Sam
Hygiene.

Unity in Adversity
Newt
All right, it's like you've heard, yeah? Every month, the Box sends up a new arrival– but someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole month in the Glade alone. That was Alby. I mean, it can't have been easy– but when those other boys started coming up, one after the other, he saw the truth. And he learned that the most important thing is that we all have each other. Because we're all in this together.
