Cube Page #2

There's onetime cop Quentin (Maurice Dean Wint), scientist Holloway (Nicky Guadagni), young math genius Leaven (Nicole de Boer), master of escapes Rennes (Wayne Robson), autistic savant Kazan (Andrew Miller) and architect Worth (David Hewlett), who might have more information on the maze than he lets on. The prisoners must use their combined skills if they are to escape.

HOLLOWAY:

Let me take a look at that. It's ok, I'm a doctor, it doesn't look bad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The old man stands up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

What the hell are you doing?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The old man opens a door and now looks into a blue room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Hey old man?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The old man, Rennes, throws his boot into the room. An incinerator quickly burns the boot. Rennes pulls the boot back and then the door closes. Rennes drops the boot on the floor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

RENNES:

Motiondetectors integrated in the walls. Tough to spot.

LEAVEN:

Oh God, oh God, oh God.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Rennes is on his way to open a new door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

QUENTIN:

Wait a second! Let's all just relax for a minute. Does anybody remember how they got here?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Long, nervebreaking silence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

HOLLOWAY:

Perogies! I was eating dinner. Perogies, cheese and potato. I ran out of sour cream and then I went to the fridge and then I... I don't know...

QUENTIN:

You... Leaven?

LEAVEN:

I... I just went to bed and then

QUENTIN:

What about you?

WORTH:

I just woke up here.

HOLLOWAY:

Middle of the night. It's like Chile. They always come in the middle of the night.

LEAVEN:

Who?

HOLLOWAY:

Only the government can build something this ugly.

QUENTIN:

Oh, it ain't government.

HOLLOWAY:

Then what is it.

QUENTIN:

I don't know.

HOLLOWAY:

Aliens!

QUENTIN:

Please, we're spooked anough as it is. Let's rule out aliens from now on and concentrate on what we know.

LEAVEN:

My mom's gonna freak...

QUENTIN:

Rennes...

LEAVEN:

Just won't be there...

QUENTIN:

What do you think Rennes?

RENNES:

We don't solve the act, sitting still. I'm moving at this straight line, till I get to the end.

QUENTIN:

Alright, I attend to agree.

LEAVEN:

Shouldn't we wait here? To see if anybody comes.

WORTH:

No one is gonna come.

QUENTIN:

There's a way in here, so there's gotta be a way out. We can avoid the traps using the boot. Holloway is it. What do you think? For an exit?

HOLLOWAY:

Ok.

QUENTIN:

It can't be that simple.

RENNES:

It ain't gonna be that simple. Take a look around. Take a good long look around, see it. Coz, I got a feeling it's looking at us.
