"To force me to live a story," "Make it grow inside my head," "I've been inoculated," "I'm being inoculated with a virus, slowly," "He said so himself," "Do you really think that what you're saying makes any sense?" "Pure fiction?" "Kovak!" "Frank Kovak!" "I want to see Frank Kovak!" "Bring me to Frank Kovak!" "See?" "There they are," "Come on," "Now, listen, Listen," "I'm gonna get you out of here, but you have to trust me," "Come on," "Mr, Norton," "Pleasure to meet you," "Mr, Kovak told us you'd be coming today," "Would you excuse us, please?" "I'll be okay," "Yeah?" "(man in suit) I hope you'll find everything to your satisfaction," "Your luggage arrived this morning," "You'll have all the peace and quiet you need here to write your book," "Mr, Kovak especially requested that we prepare one of our bungalows for you," "We don't usually accommodate "healthy" guests, so to speak, but In your case, we've made an exception," "Mr, Kovak can be very persuasive," "And of course, it's an honor for us to be an inspiration to you," "Oh, I nearly forgot, The keys to your car," "You'll find it parked outside," "He's in the middle of a session at the moment," "It's rather irregular, but Mr, Kovak insisted on speaking with you as soon as you arrived," "[Beeping]" "[Footsteps]" "Thank you for coming," "How much time have you got left?" "The important thing is, the time you have left," "A long, highly successful life from this moment on," "Do you realize the gift I'm giving you?" "A true story that is pure science fiction, recounted by its protagonist, You," "Something so gripping that people will not be able to put the book down until the last page," "M m-hm," "It does sound like the story of a monster," "Write it that way, No one is stopping you," "I'll be what you want me to be," "I'm in your hands," "Let her go, and I'll make you a saint, I know how to do this," "See, what we'll do is we'll tell the true story of Frank Kovak, the brilliant scientist who fell in love with his new homeland," "But he was made to do their dirty work," "He went a few steps too far, his masters abandoned him, there was no turning back," "That's a story, That's a story, you see, because, then who is the monster, and who is the victim?" "Do you really believe what you're saying?" "It doesn't matter what I believe as long as I can write it," "That's the problem, David," "It's sometime now since you stopped believing In what you do," "If you really want to write a great book, you must agonize over every page" "No true artist has ever reached his goal, without going through hell," "No, you see, If you want the book to be a success, you have to give the public what they want," "So you'll have to provide a final act of redemption," "Ahhh," "The happy ending," "After going through hell, the hero kills the monster," "Would that not be happy enough for them?" "What are you getting at?" "You have to kill me, David," "It's the logical thing to do," "After all," "I killed Jane, just to get you to join the game," "Doesn't it make your blood boil just thinking about it?" "She seemed to be someone special..." "Shut up," "You might have shared many things together," "Shut up," "Maybe for the rest of your lives," "[Choking] Here you can see, killing Is not so strange," "Ah!" "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" "Tell me something," "When did it all change for you?" "When did you stop experimenting with monkeys and start killing people?" "There," "Now you're looking for the character," "I'm no saint, David," "I don't need people to love me," "That's not my role," "You would do it, wouldn't you?" "You would give your life to leave a mark on the world even as a murderer," "But not just any murderer," "This very afternoon, a hundred people will take their lives," "It will be headline news the world over," "The best publicity any book ever had," "I promise you," "No," "A hundred people will die, unless you prevent it," "You must act," "We must maintain the excitement to the very end," "Where is she?" "You promised you'd get her out of here," "Silvia!" "You wouldn't want to lose the girl again, would you?"

"[Tires screeching]" "(David) Will you just listen to me?" "You've got to get to the caves now!" "What?" "Well, what kind of cop are you?" "Get off your ass and do your fucking job!" "Easy, easy does it," "Careful, she's hurt," "She didn't fall over the handrail," "She would've killed herself," "What happened?" "How'd you end up down there?" "They put me in a hole," "(female voice) Just a minute," "I know her," "Do you remember me?" "We were on the same plane," "Kathy?" "Yes, dear, It's me," "What is it, honey?" "They're gonna kill us!" "(man) Who?" "What?" "She said they're gonna kill us!" "[Indistinct voices]" "Bastard," "Where are they going?" "We've got to get out of here," "Don't worry, I won't leave you till you're okay again," "(guide in Spanish) We've found a girl in the cave, she is pretty shaken up, Seems she had an accident" "Call for an ambulance... copy?"
