Cube Page #5

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.

QUENTIN:

Alright... It's time to reassess this place.

HOLLOWAY:

I've been over it again and again, why would they throw innocent people in here? Are we being punished?

LEAVEN:

I've never done anything to deserve this!

QUENTIN:

Forget about all that! You can't see the big picture from in here. So don't try. Keep your head down. Keep it simple. Just look, look at what's in front of you.

WORTH:

That's what he said.

QUENTIN:

Start with us. We got an escapeartist and a cop. There's gotta be a reason for that. You're a doctor Holloway. That gives you a function, a reason, right?

HOLLOWAY:

No, it just makes me go: "Why me, and not one of the ten million other doctors out there"!

QUENTIN:

Leaven. What are you?

LEAVEN:

Nothing, I jst go to school, hang out with my friends.

QUENTIN:

What else?

LEAVEN:

There is nothing else. My parents are these people I live with them... I'm boring.

HOLLOWAY:

I think we have to ask the big questions: What does it want? What is it thinking?

WORTH:

One down, four to go.

QUENTIN:

Why don't you tell us what your purpose is Worth!

WORTH:

I've wondered that myself. I'm just a guy, I work in an officebuilding, doing officebulding stuff. I wasn't actually bursting joie de vivre before I got here. Life just sucks in general.

HOLLOWAY:

I can't stand that attitude.

LEAVEN:

Because, he's right.

QUENTIN:

What´s your purpose Quentin?

QUENTIN:

Kids.. Three of them... I haven't made my piece yet. I'm getting out of here no matter what. That's where my strength comes from. You people find yours wherever you got it. For Christ's sake. What do you live for? Don't you have a wife or a girlfriend or something?

WORTH:

Nope, I got a pretty nice collection of pornography

HOLLOWAY:

Nice, nice. I ain't got anyone either, but I'm not giving up. I'm pissed off. The came into our homes. They stripped us bare. They took my rings. They took my... my amethyst. I wanna know who's responsible.

QUENTIN:

Leaven, your glasses? You don't need them?

LEAVEN:

Only for reading.

QUENTIN:

Well, they took off her jewelry, but they must have put these on you. If nothing is random... why are they here.

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

Quentin opens a door in the wall. We see three numbers: 582 434 865. On the other side there's the numbers: 149 413 568.

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

QUENTIN:

Leaven, what do you read in school? Math?

HOLLOWAY:

What can they mean?

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

Leaven takes the glasses and begins to study the numbers.
