"I'm proud of you." "I think." "She gets detention a lot and she yells at teachers sometimes." "There was that rumor that went around that she just kept running away from home."

"I'm just gonna take the bus." "You're not taking a bus." "I'll drive you home." "Claire has almost saved her half of the money she needs for a car." "Isn't that right?" "This'll be one of the few times left I can drive you guys around." "Huh'?" "Uh, I..."

"God, that's victim shit." "Jesus!" "We should fight him." "We should drop a crazy-ass bomb on him." "I saw him carry one of you and lay you on the bed like you weighed nothing."

"The differences in the identities can be dramatic." "As much as the difference between you and me and every person in that auditorium." "The identities have different IQs." "They have different physical strengths." "One personality is a Russian weightlifter and can lift three times his body weight."

"That can't happen." "I..." "I told them that I wanted to spend the session with you today." "I'm gonna ask again." "To whom am I speaking with now?" "Dr. Fletcher, it's Barry." "It doesn't seem like Barry." "Barry is an extroverted leader." "Yes, I am." "I'm gonna take a professional guess based on the description of all 23 identities that live in Kevin's body, that I've gotten from Barry." "I think I'm talking to Dennis." "But he's been banned from the light because, among other reasons, he has a proclivity to watch young girls dance naked, which he himself knows is wrong and has fought against with little success." "I'm encouraged we can finally meet." "And I've guessed this because you've adjusted the chocolate dish twice since you came in here and I understand you have OCD." "(LAUGHS)" "I see." "Now, I see." "That's clever." "That's clever, but I'm not Dennis." "And you and Patricia have been banned from the light for quite a while now." "Primarily, shall we say, because of your beliefs." "Patricia and Dennis are very unstable." "I'm not Dennis." "Have you both taken charge now?" "Please believe me' I'm Barry." "(LIPS SMACKING)" "You must forgive me." "My job is to challenge you."

"Mmm-hmm." "The authors of Hooters play on our incessant need for fat and man's incessant need to be in the proximity of augmented breasts." "It's like Henry'!" "Ran a fast food franchise." "It's a good place, Dr. Fletcher." "(SCOFFS) Right." "JAI:" "How'd you know the trash would be spilled?" "How can I say this, Jai?" "You're not the most meticulous of people." "This guy isn't very neat, is he?" "He walked right through the trash." "No, Jai." "Any normal person would have walked around it." "That was an act." "What are you up to, Dennis?" "Or is it Patricia who's deciding things?" "CASEY:" "We're not gonna die." "Bad things happen." "But not tike this." "Casey..." "Talk to me." "We need to get to a window or a door, or something." "Don't you think?" "The thrill, Casey, is about whether you can or can't outsmart this animal." "See, you didn't used to like to come out here." "This is like our family tradition, right?" "Good shot, big brother." "Thank you, John." "I have your meal, sleepyhead." "Eat." "It's good?" "It's got paprika in it." "(GRUNTS IN PAIN)" "I'm sorry."

"You've got..." "You've got a crumb on your shirt." "Please take it off." "Just..." "Just take it off." "Hey." "Ah. (BONES CRACKING)" "It wasn't nice, what you said about Miss Patricia." "You lied." "I'm sorry about that, Hedwig." "You guys lied to me, made me scared, etcetera." "Mr. Dennis, he says you wear a lot of shirts." "I like this shirt." "Thank you." "Do you know who Dennis and Miss Patricia are?" "CASEY:" "No." "Every one of us has to wait in a chair, and Barry, he decides who stands in the light." "But Barry lost that power because of me." "I can wish myself into the light anytime I want." "It's a special power." "Barry just has to keep sitting in his chair if I want him to." "That's why Dennis and Miss Patricia said I could be with them." "Dennis and Miss Patricia, they believe in The Beast and what he can do." "Have you seen him?" "The Beast?" "No." "Can I kiss you?" "I wanted to kiss the other girl with the dark hair, but she's in trouble." "So, do you want to?" "I mean, I don't know much about kissing, though." "Yeah." "(SIGHS)" "Okay." "Uh..." "Okay, here we go." "One..." "Two..." "Three." "You might be pregnant now." "Am I a good kisser?" "Yeah." "I like dancing." "Do you like dancing?" "I like dancing to my CD player in my room." "Kanye West is my main man." "We got my CD player set up in my room, right next to my window." "I'm like... (VOCALIZING)" "We gots the moves." "Wow." "Maybe I could watch you dance and listen to music with you." "No, my music's in my room." "Oh." "Right." "Maybe you could sneak me there." "Are you trying to trick me?" "Etcetera?" "I'll tell on you." "I'm telling on you." "I'll tell you something." "And you can tell me if I'm lying or not, okay?" "Mmm-hmm." "Like a test." "Okay?" "I get into trouble at school, on purpose." "So I can get sent to detention." "To get away from everyone." "So that I can be alone." "Okay, I'll show you something cool in my room." "Okay." "But after Mr. Dennis has finished his getting-ready ritual." "I have to go." "He's got an appointment." "When I fall asleep, one of the others keeps trying to reach the doctor lady to tell on us." "BARRY:" "That pant, it's got a red lining." "You can see it in the long slit down the side." "KAREN:" "We have been talking about silk-and-wool blend for 20 minutes." "Can I guess that you emailed me in the middle of the night for an emergency session due to garden-variety issues?" "(LAUGHS)" "I was down and I emailed you and I woke up and I feel better." "I feel better." "I had a thought." "Mmm-mmm." "I want to talk about the incident at work." "It's okay, Barry." "You're safe." "I just want to bring the details back." "We'll just talk about the details." "A high school from Camden, New Jersey was on a field trip at your place of work and two young ladies came up to you." "And one took your hand and put it under her shirt on her breast and the second one did the same and then they just ran off laughing to their friends." "You surmised that it might be on a dare." "You said they were 17 or 18." "You said it upset you for days." "It was just a teenage prank." "I get that now." "And see, that's my mistake." "I believe that I went over this incident with you too fast." "Although you said you were fine, and the other identities I met with said it was fine," "I believe that this brought up issues from when you were a child and abused." "Sometimes another incident of abuse can cause suppressed personalities to take the light." "Dennis, if this is you," "I completely understand why you felt the need to take over and protect the others." "(CHUCKLING) Please!" "Doctor, not this again." "The others told me that you and Patricia told the group about this Beast." "And I told them that these are just scary stories that Dennis and Patricia tell the others to scare them." "How this Beast can crawl on walls, like the best rock climbers using the slightest friction and imperfections to hold his body close to seemingly sheer surfaces." "How his skin is thick and tough like the hide of a rhinoceros." "Do you really believe the stories about The Beast?" "Hmm." "If this is you, Dennis," "I understand why Kevin needs you." "You are strong and disciplined." "You are precise and you will not be taken advantage of." "You can trust me." "For example," "I do have the ability to use Kevin's full name and bring him forward as he has in the past." "But I wouldn't do that." "I know that that would be chaos for all of you." "Everyone would grab the light." "I don't want to hurt any of you that way." "You don't have to hide." "I know you are someone who cares for Kevin." "You are not evil to me." "You were necessary." "Dennis." "Is that you?" "They keep calling us The Horde." "The others, you know?" "Miss Patricia and I, we are ridiculed." "Now, we're not perfect, but we don't deserve to be ridiculed." "We're all struggling." "They have to admit that." "I am pleased to meet you, Dennis." "You, too." "I assume you don't know who emailed me for the emergency sessions?" "One of the others." "Are you in charge?" "Yeah, we've taken charge." "We're the only ones that can protect Kevin." "We're all here to protect Kevin." "He's very weak." "He doesn't know how powerful we can be." "Would you mind telling me when you first came into existence?" "And how you and Patricia, the other undesirable identity, became aligned?" "That's okay." "Do you still have strong beliefs?" "That depends on what." "This story of The Beast." "One thing, Dennis, that may comfort you if you are confused is that you've met the other alters." "You're all in a room in chairs, right?" "Yeah." "But you never met The Beast." "Because he doesn't reside with the rest of you." "Because he resides in the train yard, as the story goes, because Kevin's dad left on a train." "But the fact is, you and Patricia have never met The Beast." "Have you?" "No." "That's because he's not an alter." "He's not the 24th identity." "He's a fantasy."

"Just get me the keys and let me out the door." "Please." "Miss Patricia says that nobody will make fun of me anymore when The Beast comes!" "She says that everyone will see how amazing lam and then all of the silly mistakes, they won't matter anymore." "I think you should go back to your room." "No!" "Wait, please," "I wanna hear your Kanye West albums." "Show me your room." "Let's stay here." "I'm sorry I asked to leave." "I can't." "You said you wanted to show me something cool, right?"

"The Beast is a sentient creature who represents the highest form of humans' evolution." "He believes the time of ordinary humanity is over." "I hope this makes you feel calm."

"I like you, Dennis." "May I come in?" "And can we talk?" "I know you wanna tell me something." "Why don't you just tell me?" "DENNIS:" "We're very similar, you and I." "Both on the outside, looking in." "Please, sit." "I don't get many visitors." "Uh, I'll get you some water." "They got a proper quarters for me in a building on the south side, but we prefer it here." "When they promoted me to head of maintenance, they said I could have it." "KAREN:" "Who are you going to meet?" "DENNIS:" "I wanna talk about" "Kevin and what his mother did to him." "I remember it all." "I'm happy you're suddenly so open." "Kevin's mother had rather malevolent ways of punishing a three-year-old." "Is that when you arrived in the light?" "Yeah." "The one way to avoid her attention was to keep everything spotless, everything perfect." "I know you're coming from good intentions, Dennis, but there are other ways to help Kevin now." "I've lost so many patients into the system." "I want you to know, Dennis, I will never stop fighting for you." "My patients have become my family." "They are what I've chosen instead of a more traditional path." "I hope you feel you can be truly honest with me." "I actually wanna be honest with you." "I lied before." "When you asked if I'd ever met The Beast," "I said no." "That really isn't true." "You wrote about a woman in Germany who'd been blind for 10 years." "And then, it was discovered that she had DID." "Then three of her identities developed sight." "And you speculated that her optical nerves regenerated because of her beliefs." "What are you trying to say?" "There are things, Dr. Fletcher, that all of us would find hard to believe." "Are you trying to tell me there's a 24th identity?" "You protect the broken." "When you said that you thought this situation was extraordinary," "I knew you can maybe understand." "Understand what?" "The Beast is real." "He's just emerged." "You were right about everything." "What does he look like?" "He's much bigger than I am and I'm the biggest of all of us." "He's tall." "He's very muscular." "And he's got a long mane of hair and his fingers are twice the length of ours." "He believes we are extraordinary." "That we don't represent a mistake, but our potential." "You say the same things." "He's on the move." "What does that mean?" "I don't understand." "He can't be real." "There must be limits to what a human being can become." "And there's another whole part of the story, isn't there?" "About the eating of the impure young?" "What does impure even mean?" "Well..." "We should discuss that so that you can understand fully." "Understand what?" "Sometimes, there's just no other way." "Who are you going to meet?" "Him." "You know what?" "I would love to take notes on all of this." "We should probably discuss this in a proper session tomorrow." "Really?" "You're okay with this?" "This has been so wonderful, you being so open." "I can see that you feel very empowered by the philosophies of The Beast." "I'm going to go now." "I knew you would understand." "I'll see you." "Would you mind if I used your bathroom?" "No." "It's down the hall, near the stairs, on your left." "How we doing?" "I'm okay." "(SOBBING)" "Are you real?" "MARCIA:" "Who is it?" "Help me." "Help me." "MARCIA:" "Ls someone there?" "Please help me." "They will never reach their potential." "They don't really matter." "Listen to me, Dennis." "I should've listened better." "I should've understood what you're capable of, how powerful you are." "Patricia says your way isn't working." "The world will understand now." "Dennis, this is an egregious wrong." "These young women are suffering." "This is a crime." "I can't let you keep them here." "We've gotta stop this." "This identity is monstrous." "I'm really sad you feel this way." "Can't you see?"
