TRIS:
We're lucky to be in The City. They say the war was terrible. That the rest of the world was destroyed. The founders built the wall to keep us safe and they divided us into five groups, factions, to keep the peace.TRIS:
The smart ones, the ones who value knowledge and logic are in Erudite. They know everything.(YELLING INDISTINCTLY)
TRIS:
Amity farm the land. They're all about kindness and harmony, always happy.TRIS:
Candor value honesty and order. They tell the truth, even when you wish they wouldn't.(CHEERING)
TRIS:
And then there's Dauntless. They're our protectors, our soldiers, our police. I always thought they were amazing.TRIS:
Brave, fearless and free.TRIS:
Some people think Dauntless are crazy, which they kind of are.(IMAGE SHOWS A YOUNG BEATRICE RUNNING AT THE BACK OF A GROUP OF DAUNTLESS WEARING HER GREY ABNEGATION DRESS)

ANDREW:
Come on, Beatrice.TRIS:
My faction is Abnegation. The others all call us "stiffs." We lead a simple life, selfless, dedicated to helping others.TRIS:
We even feed the Factionless, the ones who don't fit in anywhere.TRIS:
Because we're public servants, we're trusted to run the government. My father works alongside our leader, Marcus.TRIS:
It all works. Everyone knows where they belong. Except for me.(SNIPPING)
TRIS:
My mother says there's an art to losing yourself. But I haven't figured it out yet. I'm supposed to never think of myself, to always help others. To never look too long in the mirror.NATALIE:
Are you nervous?(INHALES DEEPLY)
TRIS:
No. Were you? For your test?NATALIE:

NATALIE:
But I didn't have any reason to be and neither do you.(SHUTS AWAY MIRROR)
NATALIE:
That's all you get. Rules are rules.TRIS:
Today I take the test. I'm scared it'll tell me I'm not Abnegation. That I have to leave my family. But I'm even more scared that it will tell me to stay.TRIS:
For my brother Caleb, it's easy.CALEB:
Let me help you with that.(HE SAYS AS HE RUNS TO ELDERLY WOMAN AND GRABS BAGS AND POTS)
TRIS:
He's a natural.CALEB:
Beatrice, do you wanna get the other bags?TRIS:
Sorry.CALEB:
What if she'd been blind or an amputee? Would you have helped her then?TRIS:
I was thinking about helping her.CALEB:
It's not that hard.TRIS:
For you, maybe. Just relax, Beatrice. Take a deep breath and trust the test.TRIS:
Trust the test. Test will tell me who I am, where I belong . Am I smart?Kind?
Am I honest?
Selfless?
Or brave?

PETER:
Right? Yeah?GROUP OF ABNEGATION: Yeah.

You're a liar. Why are you lying to me? Everybody knows you keep it for yourselves. So why don't you just admit it? Huh?PETER:
I'm talking to you. Are all you stiffs deaf or somethin'? Hey!(PETER SHOVES ONE OF THE ABNEGATION PEOPLE)

CALEB:
Beatrice... Don't.(SIGHS)
(TRAIN APPROACHING)
(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
WOMAN:
One hundred years ago, after the war, our founders created a system they believed would prevent future conflict and create lasting peace. Today, aptitude testing based on your personality will assign you to one of the factions. While it is our belief that choosing the faction indicated by your test is the best way to ensure success within the faction system, it is your right tomorrow at the choosing ceremony to choose any of the five factions, regardless of your test results. However, once the choice has been made, there will be no change permitted.
