Sophia: There is *nothing* wrong with you.

Vivien: My head feels heavy.

Sophia: Your head will clear. When I first stopped taking the pills... it was like my mind was working for the first time.

Vivien: The days all just kind of blur together.

Sophia: Yeah.

Vivien: Yeah, that's why I've tried keeping a calendar. You know, put a line for every day on the headboard by my bed. I've never told anyone that before.

Sophia: I have a plan.

Vivien: [tiredly] Mm... what kind of plan?

Vivien: Of course I did. You're my friend.

Sophia: Can you untie me?

Vivien: Uh... sure.

Ava: Miss Brixil...

Vivien: The sponsors do not want to adopt us. All they care about is our skin, and they will take you downstairs and skin you like an animal!

Ava: You're lying!

Sophia: Rita is dead! We found her body...

[sobs:]

Sophia: they took her face!

one of the girls: They killed her? Are they gonna kill us too?

Miss Brixil: I just wanted to help him. He's a brilliant man. A genius...! I didn't know... I didn't know...

Sophia: Whose face are you wearing?
