Instinct in a Critical Moment
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
How did you know to turn off the lights?
Adam Stanheight:
Who cares? It worked.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Yeah, but how did you know?
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: [Throws the picture to Lawrence]
Here it is.
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: [Lawrence begins to quietly sob]
I couldn't. I'm sorry.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM YOU BASTARD?!

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: [rewinds the tape again]
Wait a minute.
Adam Stanheight:
What do you think? Probably a joke, right?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon: [presses play]
Shh, shh.
Tape:
...Let the game begin.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon: [whispers]
Listen.
Tape: [whispers]
Follow your heart.
Adam Stanheight:
What the hell does follow your heart mean?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon: [points at the toilet]
There! Right next to you, on 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: [takes off the toilet lid and pulls out a plastic bag]
I really wish I had checked in there first.
Dr. Lawrence Gordon: [chuckles]
What is it?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Hey! Mind passing me the other one?
Adam Stanheight: [hacksaw breaks; smashes broken hacksaw at the pipe and throws it at a mirror]
Fuck! Fuck!
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
He doesn't want us to cut through our chains. He wants us to cut through our feet.

Kidnapping and Its Consequences in Saw

This is what they do, man. They kidnap you, then drug you and before you know it, you're in a bathtub and your kidneys are on ].
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
No one has taken your kidneys.
Adam Stanheight:
How can you tell from way over there?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Because you'd either be in terrible agony or you'd be dead by now. Trust me.
Adam Stanheight:
What are you, a surgeon?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Yes.

HELP! HELP! Help!

No one can hear you.

What the fuck is this?!
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Calm down, just calm down. Are you hurt?

There's no point yelling. I already tried.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Would if I could.
Adam Stanheight:
What the heck's going on? Where am I?

What is that smell?
Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Oh, wait... Hang on. Think I found something.

A Choice Between Life and Morality
Tapes:
Hello Mr. Hindle. Or as they called you around the hospital: Zepp. I want you to make a choice. There's a slow-acting poison coursing through your system, which only I have the antidote for. Will you murder a mother and her child to save yourself? Listen carefully, if you will. There are rules.

A Deadly Game of Survival Awaits
Tapes: [on videotape, a mannequin's head is destroyed by the device]
Hello, Amanda. You don't know me, but I know you. I want to play a game. Here's what happens if you lose. The device you are wearing is hooked into your upper and lower jaw. When the timer in the back goes off, your mouth will be permanently ripped open. Think of it like a reverse bear trap. Here, I'll show you. There is only one key to open the device. It's in the stomach of your dead cell mate. Look around, Amanda. Know that I'm not lying. You better hurry up. Live or die. Make your choice.

Testing Illness and Trust Under Pressure
Tapes:
Hello, Mark. If you are so sick, then why do I have so many photos of you up and about? Let's put your so-called "illness" to the test. Right now, there's a slow acting poison in your veins. The antidote is inside the safe; the combination to the safe is written on the wall. Hurry up and program it in, but watch your step. By the way, that's a flammable substance smeared on your body, so I would be careful with that candle if I were you... or all the people you've burned with your act just might have their revenge.

The Choice Between Life and Death
Tapes:
Hello, Paul. You are a perfectly healthy, sane and middle-class male. Yet last month you ran a straight razor across your wrist. Did you cut yourself because you truly wanted to die, or did you just want some attention? Tonight, you'll show me. The irony is that if you want to die you just have to stay where you are, but if you want to live, you'll have to cut yourself again. Find the path through the razor-wire to the door. But hurry. At three o'clock that door will lock, and then, this room becomes your tomb. How much blood will you shed to stay alive, Paul?
