CHRISTINA:
Yes.

FOUR:
Good.

Follow me.

(INDISTINCT TALKING AND CHEERING)

FOUR:
This is The Pit.

The center of life

here at Dauntless.

(CHEERING AND SHOUTING)

You're gonna be sleeping

here for the next 10 weeks.

WILL:
Girls or boys?

FOUR:
Both.

- GIRL 1:
Nice.

- BOY 1:
That works.

FOUR:
If you like this, you're

gonna love the bathroom.

GIRL 2:
Great.

BOY 1:
Okay...

- GIRL 2:
Seriously?

- BOY 2:
Is there no other area?

GIRL 2:
Are you kidding?

FOUR:
You should feel right

at home, Candor.

Everything out in the open.

BOY 2:
Is this a joke?

FOUR:
Get changed.

Right. Shower, anyone?

Nice legs, stiff.

- BOY 1:
Hey.

- BOY 2:
How you doin'?

CHRISTINA:
Shall we sit there?

Have you never seen

a hamburger before?

TRIS:
No, I've seen one.

I just have never eaten one.

WILL:
Abnegation eat plain food.

Plant-based diet with no sauces

and a minimum of seasoning.

CHRISTINA:
Which textbook did you swallow?

- (CHUCKLES)

WILL:
Nice to meet you, too.

I'm Will. Erudite.

CHRISTINA:
Of course you are.

No offense, but I'm surprised

Abnegation even eats at all.

Too selfish, right?

No wonder you left.

WILL:
You gotta be pretty self-confident

to be friends with a Candor.

CHRISTINA:
What is that supposed to mean?

WILL:
You have no filter. You say the first

thing that comes into your head.

AL:
You mean like, "You're an idiot"?

- (ALL CHUCKLING)

CHRISTINA:
Nice one, Al. At least

we tell the truth.

WILL:
Erudite can tell the truth

because we have the facts.

FOUR:
I don't want to hear

about your old factions.

You're Dauntless now.

TRIS:
Were you a transfer, too?

Or Dauntless-born?

FOUR:
Are you kidding?

TRIS:
No.

FOUR:
What makes you think

you can talk to me?

TRIS:
It...

Must be because you're

so approachable.

(CHRISTINA SCOFFS)

FOUR:
Careful.

MAN:
Four...

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

CHRISTINA:
You, my friend, have a death wish.

They tried to recruit him for

leadership twice, but he said no.

(ALARM BLARING)

(CUPS CLATTERING)

(CLANKING CONTINUES)

MAX:
Initiates, stand.

You have chosen to join

the warrior faction

tasked with the defense of this

city and all its inhabitants.

We believe in ordinary

Respect that.

Do us proud.
