What are you still doing here?
|
| What?
|
| That's all I got.
|
| Look, I'm done talking, alright?
|
| I'm not your therapist, dig?
|
| Take it up with one of the others.
|

|
Oh, you want to talk? Man. Look. I'll be civil as I can, but something I learned young is that you don't name the pigs that's gonna be bacon. I've met a lot of people here. I ain't met a lot of them twice.
|
| Look, I don't need to know your name. I'm Cornelius Noakes.You can call me Mister Noakes. And all I need to know about you is, you volunteered for this. And I guess things musta been pretty rough for you out there. But compared to the shit in here...
|
| I hope you don't think Murkoff's doing this for your benefit. "Kindness in their hearts," right?
|
| 2
|
I guess you been inside now. "Therapy," right? Shit, man. You survived. I guess that's something. If you do survive, the question is-- how long do you stay you?"
|
| You gonna keep doing it? It's your ass.
|

|
I'm just doing my job. I'm not anybody's damn therapist, okay? You want a shoulder to cry on, talk to one of the other guinea pigs.
|
| I'm too sensitive for this shit.
|

|
You know what fucks me up? Y'all keep choosing to go back in. And I know, you're stuck here, same as me. But you could just stay in the Sleep Room. Make a friend, read a fucking magazine. But you keep going back in.
|
| Thing I hate is people saying, "Anything that doesn't kill you makes your stronger." Anybody tells you that's never been in a war. Never been poor in America. Shit.
|
| 5-8 (Loop)
|
Hell, it ain't your fault.
|
| You don't gotta listen to me complain.
|
| Nobody's paying me for all this woe-is-me bullshit.
|
| It's all right.
|
| ....Shit.
|
| I don't want to take up valuable time you could spend getting brainwashed.
|
| 5
|
Shit, you think you might actually get out of here, don't you?
|
| Look at it this way: Rat does good and gets out the maze, all that gets 'em is back to their cage. You get out the maze, you're still in the lab.

|
You think I'd still be here if I had a choice? I thought this was just another job. Do a couple months, make some money, then go back to Franklin Lakes. Then I have a drink on the airplane and next thing I know I wake up in the desert.
|
| I ain't seen much outside, except sand and concrete. ( 2 )
|

|
If all they was trying to do here was make fucking psycopaths, that mission got itself accomplished a long time ago. Murkoff's got something else in mind.
|
| If you want to get out of here, first thing is figuring out what it is you're escaping from. You gotta be watching the edges, paying attention.

Sometimes I smooth out the scraps of newspaper that components come wrapped in. I ain't found one any later than May of 1956. It was August 1958 I got on the plane to come here. Now.... I don't even know what year it is.
|
| I got a fiancé out there, back in Jersey. Got a brother in Ohio. Don't even know I'm alive. Probably think I just walked out on 'em or got hit by a bus.
|
| So Murkoff don't want me to see the outside world, fine, but would it kill those motherfuckers to slip me a sports page?
|
| 9-12 (Loop)
|
I'm losing my grip here.
|
| I'm gonna need some space.
|
| I'm gonna be alright.
|
| Fuck.
|
| Just... give me a little space.
|
| ...messed up
|
| Murkoff's watching me just as much as they're watching you.
|
| Listen, I want you to promise me. If you get out of here, you're gonna tell people what Murkoff's doing.
|
| 9
|
God damn, you're still alive. I mean... don't nothing hurt like hope, but you might actually get out the other side of this shit.
|
| You gotta stop playing their game. I mean. You gotta play their game but not play their game. They're trying to change your ass, you know that, right?
|
| 10
|
I think Murkoff's fucking with all of us in here. They're getting in all our heads, changing the connections.
|
| I keep finding things from my life. From the world outside. My dog here, Tango. I wake up here, find him dead and full of sawdust.
|
| Sometimes I think I might just be dreaming. Or dying on that beach in Attu. I don't know if that's a good dream or a bad one.
|
| 11
|
You seeing things here? Like things from your life? They can't be doing that for all of you. I know there's only one of me. Maybe there's only one of you. Like maybe you've got purpose.
|
| You just gotta keep your mind on what's real.
|
| If you ever find your way out and find your way to Cincinatti, you find Lamar Noakes. My brother. You just tell him I'm alive. I didn't run out like our piece of shit old man... I mean you just tell him that, alright?
|

|
I'm a little fucked up here. The last person had my job, think it was man named Meyers. Cecil Meyers. I find C.M. scratched in some of the Toasters, like a signature.
|
| I think they got in Cecil's head and fucked him up. I think he got out the only way he could.
|
| I'm not going out that way. I'm just not.
|
| 13-16 (Loop)
|
Nah, I’m done.
|
| Don't mess with me.
|
| Hey, back off.
|
| I don't need this right now.
|
| You don't even know what you are.
|
| Stop it.
|
| 13
|
Hey... What? What are you looking at me like that for? How about you take it easy.
|
| Jesus Christ, look, I don't know what I did to piss you off but I don't need whatever this is.
|
| 14
|
You're really not alright, are you? Shit. You can't let them get into your head like this. I don't know what's going on in here, but the brass if pissed.
|
| I saw one of those scientists crying in the hall outside the shitter. I think something's gone real wrong.
|
| 15
|
Listen. I'm still talking to you because I think there's a chance you could get out of here with your brain intact. But you gotta watch yourself.
|
| You been getting any strange ideas? Dreams that don't make sense?
|
| 16
|
You've changed. I'm not sure you even know what it is you're doing. But I can see it in your eyes. I thought you might be able to get out. But you're not even here anymore.
|
| Used I was scared you were gonna die here. Now I'm scared you're gonna get out.
|
| 17-20 (Loop)
|
Fuck this place.
|
| You're almost there.
|
| You might actually do it.
|
| Keep trying.
|
| Get out.
|
| You're close.
|
| 17'
|
God damn. You might actually actually come out the other side of this. You gotta get your head right.
|
| These fucking eggheads slipped their hand off the wheel. They don't know what it is they're doing any more. What I'm saying is-- there's cracks in the fucking system. Maybe you can manage to slip through.
|

|
I think Easterman's scared. He knows he's lost control. I know you're fucked up. I'm fucked up. This whole place is a fucking bag of cats.
|
| I was in the Battle of Attu, against the Japanese. I tell you that? Craziest shit I ever seen. They charged us with swords. Men using rocks, knives. Lotta men died. The ones that lived, it was partly on account of being lucky, and partly on account of being crazy.
|
| You gotta go the right kind of crazy if you want to get out of this shit.
|
| 19
|
You gotta get out of the system. Whatever it is. I been in the military, I been black in America, I've been part of a church, I've been to school. And I'm now I'm fucking here, talking to you. I've never been part of a system that didn't want to chew me up and use me for its own shit.
|
| I'm not sure I ever knew you. But you gotta get out of here.
|
| 20
|
You're almost there. You gonna leave? If it was me, it wouldn't even be a fucking question. Get out of this place.
|
| Somebody has to get free of this place. You gotta get out.
