[first lines]

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: We're lucky to be in the city. They say the war was terrible, that the rest of the world was destroyed. Our founders built the wall to keep us safe, and they divided us into five groups, factions, to keep the peace. The smart ones, the ones who value knowledge and logic, are in Erudite. They know everything. Amity farm the land. They're all about kindness and harmony, always happy. Candor value honesty and order. They tell the truth, even when you wish they wouldn't. And then there's Dauntless. They're our protectors, our soldiers, our police. I always thought they were amazing. Brave, fearless and free. Some people think Dauntless are crazy, when they kind of are.

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: My faction is Abnegation. The others all call us "stiffs." We lead a simple life, selfless, dedicated to helping others. We even feed the Factionless, the ones who don't fit in anywhere. Because we're public servants, we're trusted to run the government. My father works alongside our leader, Marcus. It all works. Everyone knows where they belong. Except for me.

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: I'm the weakest one here.

Christina: Then you'll be the most improved.

Jeanine Matthews: It's hard to let go. Faction before blood, it's an important ideal, but sometimes difficult to fulfill. It goes against our fundamental human nature. But that's exactly the weakness we need to overcome.

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: You think that human nature is weakness?

Eric: She's not gonna shoot me.

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: I think you might be overestimating my character.

[shoots him in the leg]

Jeanine Matthews: Maybe you're not quite as "Dauntless" as you thought you were.

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: You're right. I'm "Divergent".

[catches hypo tossed by Four and plunges it into her neck]

[last lines]

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: We're like the Factionless now. We've left everything behind, but we found ourselves and each other. Tomorrow we may have to fight again, but for now we'll ride the train to the end of the line. And then, we'll jump.

Christina: Have you never seen a hamburger before?

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: No I've seen one I've just never eaten one.

Will: Abnegation eat plain food, plant-based style without sauces and no minimums.

Christina: Which textbook did you swallow?

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. To 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 say the first thing that comes into your head.

Al: You mean like, "you're an idiot"?

Christina: [Christina laughs] Nice one Al!

Four: My name's Four.

Christina: Four, like the number?

Four: Exactly, like the number.

Christina: What happened, one through three were taken?

Four: What's your name?

Christina: Christina.

Four: The first lesson you learn from me, if you wanna survive here, is keep your mouth shut. Do you understand me?

[Repeated line]

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: Were you a transfer, too? Or Dauntless born?

Four: Are you kidding?

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: No

Four: What makes you think you can talk to me?

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior: It... Must be because you're so approachable

Four: Careful

Christina: You, my friend, have a death wish
