"Essex!" "Look!" "What is it?" "My God." "It's flying north!" "I haven't seen one of those in years." "I didn't know there were any left." "Will we make it to the city?" "If the dogs are out this far, there may be no city left" "You're funny" "What?" "You've always told me you left the city because there was nothing for you there and now you are returning" "Don't you think that's funny?" "No" "Tell me about your city" "I already have" "Again" "There were 25 levels five sectors" "In the center there was a park with a lake" "And I remember the trees" "Vivia?" "Six" "Seventeen." " Limbo" " Shh-shh-shh" "Blockade" "Redstone you're in the tournament" "Argo gratias." "You share the threat" "You're up." "Me?" "Good" "Deuca" "So soon?" "My pleasure, sir" " Oh?" " Quintet!" "Not your day, Ernecht" "Better luck next time" " Your luck is better, Ambrosia" " Finally" "A bonus" "A new game is starting at table number six." "Vivia" " May have been a bad idea coming here" " It's a place to go" "That's what you said" "Essex" "By knowing five numbers, you can find any person here?" "Five numbers and a color code, yes" "How many people lived here?" "Five million." "Five million?" "Yes." "It was designed for a million people in each sector." "And you could find a person with only five numbers?" "And a color code, yes" "You know so much" "But not how to find seals" "Vivia!" "Vivia?" "Vivia?" "Vivia!" "Vivia?" "You're not very good at finding people" "Don't run off like that" " I was just playing" " I know" "But don't run off that way" "Shouldn't we help him?" "He's gonna freeze to death" "He already has" "I'm so tired of walking." "It's not far." "And what if he's not there?" "You don't even know if he's alive" "We'll face that when we get to it" "I'm hungry" "Who is there?" "My name is Essex I'm looking for my brother" "Name is Francha." "Does he still live here?" "There is no one here by this name." "Could you tell me where he went?" "What did you say your name was?" "Essex." "Essex." "My God" "Come" "Come in We have a fire" "Come, come, come Quick" "Essex" "I was sure you were dead" "Are trains running anywhere?" "Where have you been?" "South, hunting." "I went 10, 12 years ago." "I lost count." " I didn't know if you'd be here" " South, huh?" " What's to the south?" " Seals" "Well, not anymore" "How'd you find me?" "Things have changed so." " Information center" " That still works?" "No" "It doesn't transmit The information's still there" "Oh, that's Vivia" "I used to hunt with her father." "He's dead now." "Jaspera Aeon" "Obelus" "My brother" "What's your name, child?" "Vivia" "We're hungry Is there any food?" "Of course Jaspera, some food" "Is the whole city like this?" "Will I find work here?" "I can't believe my eyes" "So young" "Nothing like her anymore." "She's the youngest person I've seen." "She could be the last one born, for all we know, the- the end of the line" "This is a real event." "My God." "Jaspera Aeon" "It's true." "It's alive" "Feel it" "How long, child?" "Five months, at least" "This calls for a celebration." " We are a real family now" " Yes" "Some booza Set the table" "Quintet, huh?" "You play, of course" "When my family was alive But I wasn't very good" "Well, never mind There are six of us We'll play" "The last seal we killed was just after Vivia's father died" "I never saw an animal fight so hard to stay alive" "Well, I've even forgotten what seal meat tastes like" "That must have been" "Well, it was more than a year ago" "I'm so glad you came when you did" "Francha was just leaving for another tournament" "The hell with the tournament They can play without me for a while" "They still have tournaments here?" "Oh, yes On all levels" "What about work?" "How do you stay alive?" "We play!" "There's nothing left but the game." " Have you got pieces, Vivia?" " These will do" "Oh, yes." "Sit." "Sit, child." "Ah, some booza" "This'll warm you" "Here" "That girl's a miracle" "There's been no new life here and no hope for any" "Oh, not in limbo, child You're up in the killing circle" " Have you got pieces?" " I haven't played for years" "Well, here" "You can use these" "From my collection" "You collect Quintet pieces?" "Oh, yes It's a hobby" "Hobby?" "What does that mean?" "That's just something to do... for no reason" "Come on, Essex Let's play" "I don't think I could put my mind to it." "All right We'll make you sixth man You can play the survivor" "Somebody'll have to go to the market for some more wood if we're to stay up." "I'll do it." "I wanna look around There has to be work somewhere" "There's a wood seller in the market below" "Here A thousand old sou a kilo" "Don't let him cheat you Make sure it's not treated" " Where'd you get" " I've been very lucky in the casino" "Essex?" "I'm sure I'll be the first one to lose" "Francha will look after you" " Be careful" " Yes!" "We must be careful with a man who hunts seals where there are no seals" "We'll roll on" "Five, four" " Double limbo" " Double limbo" "Ah Limbo five One there, one there" "Four, two I'll arrange the killing order for Essex" "You see" "I'm after you" " Can't be that important" " Hmm" "Oh-ho!" "You're after your own death!" "Hello!" "I need wood." "Buy or trade?" "Buy Enough for the night" " Two bundles." " Is it treated?" "Never been any complaints" " Treated with what?" " From a building." "This wood doesn't come from buildings" "Taken out of the ice" "Here you are" " I'm going to get you." " No, you won't" "Ohh!" "At last the end is coming." "Where are you from?" " The south." " The south?" "They say there are still seals in the south." "Is it true?" "If there were, I'd still be there" "Why do you torment me?" "I broke no rules!" "What?" "Are you finding all the information you want?" "The system is all but ruined" "Trying to find a person or a place?" "A friend" "Oh A friend How interesting" "Amicus." "I haven't heard that word for a long time" "And what do you use in its place?" "Alliance" "How did you and your friend become separated?" "Time" "Where does your friend live?" "He doesn't" "Redstone?" "I'm a friend" " "Friend"?" " Yes." "I know him." "I'm supposed to meet him here" "Is he expected soon?" "The tournament won't be over for many days or more." "They play at the old casino" "He has a room... at the Hotel Electra." "Where's that?" "Second sector" "Red level" " Your-Your hand" " Please don't" "I haven't had a fire for" "When did you last see Redstone?" "Yesterday" "If you see him again" "What?" "Yesterday" "You won't" "They still let rooms here?" "Uh, Deuca She's probably in the Quintet room" "I really played the casinos." "Six and two" "Is there a Deuca here?" " I'm Deuca" " Redstone" " Redstone?" " Yes." "He hasn't checked in yet" "Well, something happened I was delayed" "You're lucky I still have a room" " May I have a key?" " There are no keys here" "You're room 243" "All right" " Four and six." " Four and six." "This is one of the imponderables" "You play, sir" ""Redstone, Francha" "'Deusha'- " Deuca?" ""Goldstar" "St Christopher, Ambrosia"" "Oh." "I'm sorry." "I must have the wrong room" "I was looking for a friend" "I'm the only one here This is my room" "My name is Grigor" "Perhaps the room I wanted is the next one over" "But this is a nice room Pardon me" " What's your name?" " Redstone" "Redstone You're lucky to have a warm room, Redstone" "Why don't you put that knife away?" "I will tell you the truth" "Redstone" "What?" "That it was no mistake you came here?" "I am afraid I have been playing the sixth man with you" "I thought the room would be empty" "I wanted to shave" "There's no water" "There is nothing but water and soon that's all that will be left" "The planet will be frozen in an envelope of ice and that will mercifully be the end of this history" "May I sit down?" " You don't stay here at the hotel?" " My room's at the casino." "I'm the adjudicator there, the referee" "The judge, you might say" "A judge?" "I interpret the rules" "I settle the disputes" "It's a lonely thing to do" "The worst thing is not playing- watching, game after game and not being allowed to play" "That's why I come here on my days off." "There are very good players in this hotel" "Some great ones, I tell you" "Do you organize these tournaments?" "Ah, you know about the tournaments." "I knew" " I knew that you were a player" "I saw that fire in your eyes" "Only tournament players have that sense of life" "I knew that you were in this room, Redstone" "See, I misrepresent without even knowing it" "It is one of the problems of my work" "One begins to lie even to friends" "Forgive me, Redstone I was looking for company" "There is no camaraderie anymore." "No talk" "No exchange of ideas or tactics" "I meant no harm, my friend" "Where do the explosives come from?" "Explosives?" "Oh." "Alcohol" "As long as the moss grows, they will make alcohol" "And as long as there is alcohol, they will make explosives." "It's a waste" "Come join me in a game and some alcohol" "Deuca has booza I know" " Deuca" " Yes." "Deuca." "Deuca- She's very efficient, but nervous" "Watch" "She's always expecting the worst" "But she's not to be underestimated" "What took you so long?" "We had to stop the game." "I was with my friend." "Yes, I know Redstone" " Are we playing?" " Without question" "But first, some drinks" "I promised my friend some booza" " It's in the game room" " Good" "Ambrosia" " You're sitting there alone." " So I am" "We are about to play." "You'll join us." "Deuca's bringing drinks Booza" "Ah He's my friend Redstone" "He's a new player" "He doesn't look new" " Are you dangerous?" " No." "I don't like to play games." "I'm not dangerous." "That's good I'm not dangerous either" "My name is Ambrosia" "It's a silly name I think I should change it" "Change" "Everyone wants to change everything" "There is nothing to change" "Do you like your name..." "Redstone?" "Why not?" "It serves its purpose." "And mine doesn't." "You can sit here, Redstone" "Drink carefully" "This is the end of the bottle" "Where's Grigor?" "Maybe he found a better game" "Let me have his share" "What handsome pieces" "Your own handiwork, Redstone?" " I inherited them" " Ah" " You have family?" " I had a brother here, but he's dead" "So let's roll for the sixth man" "Let the new player have the honor" "Deuca seems to know that you're not dangerous" "What are the stakes?" "Sometimes we just play for the thrill of it" "Weak roll, Redstone You'll never make sixth man like that" " Quintet" " Automatic" "I always play the sixth man" "One, five" "Five and four." "Six and two." "Four, five." "Six and three" "So, I'll arrange the killing order" "I want Deuca to kill you and I want you two to change place" "Grigor?" "Grigor, I have to talk to you" "Listen to me I need a ruling" "This is frustrating Never happened before" "You knew Redstone as well as I did" "Now we have this impostor to deal with Does he know what he's doing?" "You ask me so many questions" " Which one should I answer first?" " Damn it, Grigor" "Redstone never should have been allowed in to start with" "He was a fool He jumped the starting time by an hour" "How do you know that?" "Well, I" " I was following him" "Then so did you, St Christopher!" "I didn't kill him until after the designated time" "I was within the rules" "Anyway, Redstone was a butcher!" "He killed a whole roomful when he took Francha" "Well, that's not an infraction" "A sensitive player doesn't do that" "Sensitive?" "Did I hear you, of all people, use that word?" "I play to win, but there are certain ethics to be considered" "At this moment, if I were you, I would be more concerned about Goldstar" " He has no ethics at all" " Nor brains" "I do not consider him a threat" "I find you insulting" "He could get lucky It's happened before" "You're late, Grigor" "Late for what?" "Give me the booza" "What about this new Redstone?" "Drink" "How do I deal with him?" "Before I can decide that" "I must learn how much he knows" "Not how much he knows but who he is" "Where is he?" " Who is "he"?" " You know who I mean Christopher" " Saint?" " St Christopher" "He was standing there a second ago Now he's gone" "So he is" "Which exit did he leave by?" "I don't know that he left" "I only know that, uh, he isn't here" "Damn you, Grigor You're trying to help him" "You're always against me You have no regard for me" "I'm not here to help or regard" "I am here to interpret rules" "If it's help you need, I suggest you talk to the sixth man" "I find you despicable" "I despise your arrogance!" "It is as planned" "There is an open seat at table number one" "Grigor St Christopher" "Playing God" "Move!" "Out of my way, you fool!" "Come on" "Come on You cannot leave us" "There's a better way to die Come on" "All you need is a five, and you have him" "Then it's between you and Deuca" " A three and a two" " Good!" "Now it's the two of you" "She's been giving you good advice" "It's obvious it's you she wants to face and not me" "Are you so certain?" "You're so predictable I sometimes lose interest" "That's not good" "Run away from her, Redstone" "Let her make the mistake" "I get impatient I can't stand waiting around I said I didn't like games" "Why do you play?" "Education" " Four and a one" " Good!" "You got her" " Dead" " He's all yours, Ambrosia" "So come, everybody Put up the dead man" "You only made one tactical error." "You killed her in your own sector" "No one can protect you now" "All I need is a one, and I win" "One is my lucky number" "Double one." "That's what I call overkill." "I got killed with one throw That's very impressive" "Being sixth man is an advantage It's also boring" "I just start to get excited, and it's all over" " Do you live near here?" " Yes" "In this sector?" "In this hotel Room next to yours" "How do you know what room I'm in?" "Deuca told me" "Deuca Tell me about Deuca" "I know her" "You know a lot" "And you are very curious" "Do you know a man named Francha?" " Is he a Quintet player?" " Yes" "I know a man named Francha He lives in another sector" "He comes to the casino quite often" " He's a very good player" " He was" "Are you telling me he's dead?" "No, I'm telling you he was killed" "Good night, Redstone" "Don't forget to bolt your door" "Who is it?" " Who's in my room?" " It's all right." "It's Goldstar." "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "It's cold." "Do you have a blanket?" "Nothing?" "Nothing for me?" "Nothing tonight." "I don't feel like drinking." "That was a very" "Now you're misreading my expression." "Everybody knows there are no locks in the hotel." "No locks, but tight security." "Obviously not as tight as you thought." "I waited half an hour before I could slip by without Deuca seeing me" "I couldn't chance that" "I hope you have as much luck leaving" "Now, you say that, but you don't mean it" "You're like all the rest" "St Christopher- he's the worst" " He humiliated me tonight" " Is that possible?" "He came to the casino with Grigor." "I was playing there" "He came right in the same room with me" "Of course, Grigor was there to protect him, which, of course, he's not supposed to do" "Get off my bed and tell me what you're doing here so late" "St Christopher" "I'm going to enjoy killing him" "Saint, indeed!" "He thinks he can charm Grigor" "Well, Grigor can't protect him for long" " Why are you coming to me?" " To ask you outright" "Is there a plot against me?" "If there is, you would know, and I protest it" "It is not legal" "I asked you to get off my bed" "I don't trust Grigor" "And I know St Christopher" "Now, tell me I know it's true" "There's no plot that I know of, Goldstar." "And if there is, I have nothing to do with it." "Don't be too sure Don't you be too sure" "Your day will come and before long we may be facing one another again under different circumstances" "I've wasted my time coming here" "Well, you may put the word out that I know what's going on" "You may tell St Christopher that I'm after him" "And don't be too sure you won't be far behind" "Who is it?" " It's Redstone" " I'm not open yet." " Well, can you let me in anyway?" " No." "Hello!" "I'm looking for someone who lives at the hotel" " Who?" " St Christopher" "He doesn't live in the hotel" "He doesn't?" "You know him then?" "He runs a charity house in the fourth sector" "Thank you" "Help me" "Solace!" "Solace!" "Solace!" "Solace!" "Solace!" "Solace!" "Solace!" "The geometric shape of the universe reflects the scheme of life" "You've been taught that they are the same" "You've been taught that the universe is bounded by five sides and that life has but five stages" "Primum- the pain of birth" "Secundum- the labor of maturing" "Tercium- the guilt of living" "Quartum- the terror of aging" "Quintum- the finality of death" "But this is not complete for five sides demand a sixth space a center and that is what you have to look forward to" "What is the sixth space?" "It's empty" "It's blackness" "Void!" "In other ages equally ignorant it was said an eternal fire would follow death" "But I tell you" "I tell you... there is no fire" "I tell you, fire is not enough punishment" "No No, my sons!" "The emptiness I'm speaking of is the total horror of madness the awareness of nothing" "So, your wretched lives, in fact are supremely happy" "It is your reward" "You must cherish your tortured life because it is a pause, an interruption of the void preceding and following it" "Don't fight." "Don't struggle." "Accept" "When you think of the number five remember it is six" "And if you look for an answer, look far beyond what facts you have... and add yet one more- the unknown" "Because only when you consider the unknown you have a hope, a chance to solve the dilemma" "Redstone!" "You're far away from the hotel" "Well, so are you" "I used to live in this sector" "I sometimes come here to remember" "Is that helpful- to remember?" " Sometimes one can't avoid it" " Who's St Christopher?" "I'm sorry Did you hear me?" " I don't know him" " Oh, really?" "I said I don't know him I know who he is" "I know he plays Quintet at the casino" "Oh, this is nice" "You know, there are people who say he's the best player alive" "The man in your room last night said he was gonna kill St Christopher" " Are you spying on me?" " No, you woke me up" "He said he was gonna kill St Christopher" "That man is a very bad sport" "Quite paranoid but harmless" "Poor Goldstar is a bad loser" "He has a passion for the game, but he'll never be anything but a mediocre player" "The only way he can save face is to accuse someone like St Christopher of cheating" "Very cowardly." "He seemed very convincing" "Tell me" "Do I misunderstand the word "killing"?" "Not if you understand Quintet" "Do you want to come in?" "I keep a bottle" "All right" "Please sit down" "That's the man who was in your room last night" "I can never get used to this mindless killing" "Mindless?" "It's ritual." "It's a ritual killing" "And they wanted you to see it." "Or me" "There's a list" "His name was on it- "Goldstar"" "My brother's name was on the list." "They bombed his apartment." "But there were others killed" "One of them was just a girl who" "I saw the man who bombed it, and I chased him" "When I caught up with him, somebody had slit his throat" "There is a list, and anyone on it is marked, like he is" "You must be wrong- trying to find a meaning where there is none" "Death is arbitrary" "At least, that has always been the main complaint" "Your name is on the list too" "Let's not think about it" "Maybe it's better this way" "To try to prolong life is pointless" "In a few years, maybe months all dying will be done" "I don't want to be alone" "I can't!" "W" " Would you sleep here in my bed with me?" "Mmm" "Things have gotten so bad" "It didn't used to be like this" "I never think of the past It's gone, but" "Maybe it's the closeness of another person" "You make me think of life" "You remind me of what we have lost" "Something wrong?" "It's not common to see people smile" "I had a dream" "I" " I dreamed about my mother" "We were together on a train" "I was ahead of her and I" " I turned around and I saw her walk up the aisle" "She was younger than I am now" "Very pretty" "She wore a green hat" "We didn't speak We just smiled at each other" "It was not at all sad" "It was immensely pleasurable" "When I woke up, I had a smile on my face" "I put up my hand, and I could" " I could feel it" "Do you dream about the past very often?" "I never thought of it- whether I dream of it often or not" "Memory is unreliable" "I can't relate to my past So much has changed" "I would like to see my past clearly but I" " I can't trust my memory" "I think memory is the only thing you can trust" "Do you still have hope?" "Like a child" " Just a minute" " What do you want?" " I'm looking for St Christopher" " Come in" "What do you want?" " Does this list belong to you?" " Yes" " Where did you get it?" " I found it" "Then it doesn't belong to you Did you steal it?" "I have it That's enough Your name is here" " It is of no interest to me" " It should be" " Goldstar" " Yes I know the name" "Dead Murdered Francha" " I know the names" " Dead Murdered" "Are there other lists?" "Has it occurred to you that what you're doing is disruptive?" "You'll never understand the scheme until you're part of the scheme" "Are you telling me I will be?" "Yes" "At the exact moment where it will be too late" "Redstone?" "What a surprise to see you here" "You lead a very active life, hmm?" "Tell me, is St Christopher as good a player as they say he is?" " He is good, but too serious" " And not very talkative" "Talk?" "Oh, if it is talk you want, come with me, Redstone" "I know a place We can have drinks and talk about life" "Only thing I've seen is death or the prospect of it" "But that's what makes life worthwhile" "Every time you cheat death you feel the pure thrill of life" "And that is what my job is" "That is why I'm so content in this frozen world" "Tell me, exactly what is your job?" "To keep the game alive" "The game is all that's important" "The only intelligent expression left is the game of Quintet" "All the elements of life are contained in it" "Our art, our philosophy" "All things of value fit the game" "The game is the only thing of value" "Come, come" "Do I disturb you?" "As a matter of fact, you do" "The door wasn't bolted" "It's collection time I've come for the money" "And you're very prompt" "Did you think I wouldn't pay?" "Redstone didn't I was just in his room" "He's gone, and I don't expect him back" "He didn't sleep in his bed last night" "He slept here with me" "That's not possible" "You have such a perverse sense of humor." "So do you" "You weren't exactly discreet in presenting your victory over Goldstar." "That's so lovely" "You must be proud to have such a treasure" "Promise me you'll leave it to me" "Isn't that very presumptuous... with St Christopher still present?" "You're a dreamer, Deuca." "He's no Goldstar." " St Christopher doesn't frighten me" " He should." "And Redstone will be back" "I'll get another bottle, Redstone" "Booza" "Redstone" " Scheme Order" " Scheme?" "What is the scheme?" "Disrupting the order" "Excuse me I don't understand" "To understand the scheme you have to be part of it" " Part of it?" " Uh-huh" " You're not making any sense" " You're part of it See, the list" "Is the list part of the scheme?" " Are you all right?" " Do other people have the list?" "But I don't understand you What are you talking about?" "No Think of five Hmm?" " Yes" " It's six" "Are you all right?" "Consider the unknown" " The goose" " The goose?" "The goose" "Does he know where he's going or does he just fly into the unknown?" "With all due respect, Redstone, I don't understand what you're talking about" "Oh, maybe you had too much booza" "What a coincidence and what a surprise." "Look." "A surprise, but not a coincidence" "Nah, maybe it's the other way around." "He is here to help people, see." "His work brings him here." "Does your work bring you here?" "Hmm?" "You're drunk, Redstone." "I brought you here Don't you remember?" "Yeah, I" "Yeah" "St Christopher" "Redstone is drunk" "He is in need." "You must help him home." "I must help him home?" "You can't be serious" "Are you not St Christopher, protector of the needy?" "He's helpless He needs protection" "He certainly looks helpless, but he's not Redstone." "Don't anticipate my ruling" "Remember, he lives in the hotel Room number" "I know what room he lives in" "Oh, don't be so serious, St Christopher" "Does not Deuca live in the Hotel Electra also?" "Come up" "Come Let's go" "Deuca!" "Deuca!" "Be seated, please" "You may begin" "I am the winner of the front game... and I'm prepared to meet the sixth man." "Are you prepared?" "I am prepared" "But the front game is not played out yet Redstone is still alive" "Redstone is dead I killed him" "Where's the proof?" "An impostor is carrying his markers." "Are you suggesting I kill him as well?" "If you are to meet me" "It would be a digression" "How do we know he won't kill you?" "He won't Killing the impostor is a mere formality" "I think you're afraid to face me" "I'm afraid of nothing here" "The unknown at least holds hope" "Hope?" "Hope is an obsolete word" "I demand a judgment" "The impostor" "Even though he has not chosen to play the game he is in it" "It is like life" "None of us are in it by choice" "The man who carries Redstone's markers is Redstone." "His life is not important outside the game" "So be it" "You look so sad, Ambrosia" "On the contrary, Grigor" "I am supremely content" "I know how the game will end." "How?" "You'll see" "Redstone!" "Wait!" "Wait!" " Where are you going?" " To my brother's house" " What for?" " To look for something." "There's something I have to understand" "Understand?" "Is that important now?" "St. Christopher will kill you if he sees you." "If he'd wanted to try to kill me, he would've done it last night" "He had the perfect chance" "Last night is not today" "Redstone!" "My name is Essex" "That was yesterday" "Today you are Redstone" "Are you prepared?" "Death doesn't wait" "We already had four" "Remember?" "You're number five!" "Primum!" "Remember?" "It was Francha!" "Butchered!" "Secundum- death of a coward!" "Tercium- the stupid one!" "Ah, quartum, that was Deuca!" "Oh, Deuca was an artistic death" "But yours?" "What game are you going to play... you hunter of seals, huh?" "Have you found what you're looking for?" "Yes, I have" "Did you meet St Christopher?" "He's dead" "And now do you understand?" "You mean, the game?" "Can I see what you have found?" "Grigor!" "You shouldn't have brought her here" "Take that body out of here" "It's proof" "I won What's the prize?" "Prize?" "Winning?" "Being alive- that is the only prize" "You play for the thrill of it." "It is life itself." "It is feeling the heat of the adrenaline rushing through your body" "Life can only be felt when death is near." "That is what the game of Quintet is- those who play fight for their lives" "And that is what you have learned Is it not?" "Tell me about that- the heat of adrenaline rushing through your body" "That should do it for you."
