Kate Filmore:
This guy sure moves quickly, he's just gone.
Jerry Whitehall:
Each one of these rooms has six of these doors and portals, but no matter how many different doors and portals I go through I always end up in the same three rooms.
Kate Filmore:
Are you okay? Did you hit your head?
Max Reisler:
Yeah, I slipped. It's a wall - it wiggled.
Jerry Whitehall:
I've been trying to get a handle on the configuration of these rooms. All I can say is...
Simon Grady:
They just don't make any sense.
Jerry Whitehall:
That's right - they sure don't.
Max Reisler:
It is as if the rooms are moving around very quickly.
Jerry Whitehall:
There's gotta be some kind of logic to it. You go in one direction and the room just loops back on itself.
Kate Filmore:
Okay, let's just say we are in this hypercube or whatever; does this diagram show us how to get out?
Jerry Whitehall:
Well... no. You see a hypercube isn't supposed to be real. It's just a theoretical construct.
Jerry Whitehall:
60.659 rooms?
Kate Filmore:
This place must be huge.
Mrs. Paley:
Oh yes. In a hypercube there can be 60 million rooms.
Simon Grady:
What happens if whatever that was in there, that killed the guy - killed me, what happens if that fucking thing gets in here?
Kate Filmore:
Who are you?
Simon Grady:
Yeah, it's me. Good old Simon. Do you remember this, do you? Well, I've waited a long time for payback.
Kate Filmore:
But, that was just seconds ago.
Simon Grady:
Don't be so stupid Kate. You know time works differently in this place.
Mrs. Paley:
I'm not crazy. And I'm not hard of hearing either.

turns to an empty corner]
Mrs. Paley:
I told you no one would believe me!
Jerry Whitehall:
How do you do, Mrs. Paley?
Mrs. Paley:
Hello.
Jerry Whitehall:
You don't happen to know why you're here, do you?
Mrs. Paley:
Oh, dear, I was never very good at philosophy.

Some of the others chuckle at this]
