Circle Page #4

Synopsis: In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Every two minutes, one of them must die... Executed by an electrical pulse generated from a source within the chamber. At first the attacks seem random, but, soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed: by the power of the vote. Mob mentality at its finest hour. A chance to control the machine. How will they choose who deserves to die? What happens when there's only one person left? "Circle" is a film about humanity. How we value one another and how people react when they are forced to make decisions under the worst possible circumstances. It's a film that speaks to the very core of what makes us human - Who we are, what we believe and ultimately, the lengths we will go to in which to save ourselves.

What is wrong with you people?

She's just a kid.

Why Would you go after her?

One of them has to die.

We need to decide.

- No, we don't.

- Listen, we should just

leave them out of this

for as long as possible.

Let's just forget about it.

No, we Can't do that -

- not anymore.

- Why not?

It's too dangerous for them.

They've been exposed.

Oh, come on, no one is going

to vote for them again, right?

She's never heard

of birth control,

so she gets to live?

We need to come

to a majority decision

before each elimination.

Otherwise, they are constantly

gonna be in jeopardy.

He's right.

We need to protect them now.

We don't even know

what kind of a kid she is.

I mean, what if she's

a miserable brat?

She's like 10.

Hey, kid, you get good grades?

- Uh-huh.

- Yeah, yeah.

Straight a's?

Oh, my God. She got a "b."

Let's kill her.

Look, at least one of them is

gonna have to die.

So we should decide now.

Just kill them both!

Just f***ing kill them...

what about volunteers?

- What?

- Volunteers?

- Are you nuts?

- I don't know.

Maybe someone wants

to step forward.

I'll do it.

- Why?

- Now, wait a minute.

He doesn't have to tell you

or anybody else why.

He's volunteered.

That's enough.

Well, I want to know why.

Lady, it's

none of your business.

Hey!

Let him answer.

Why?

I guess I just don't want

to kill anyone.

How old are you?

No, someone else.

What do you mean

"someone else"?

He's a f***ing kid, man.

He's 16. That's old enough.

- Old enough to what, to die?

- To make your own decisions.

He's a stupid kid.

He doesn't know any better.

I don't care.

If you volunteer, you volunteer.

It's his choice

if he wants to die.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

If someone wants to volunteer,

we should respect that,

no matter who it is.

Son, what's your name?

I'm Shaun.

Shaun.

Are you sure

that you want to volunteer?

No.

I'll do it.

It's fine.

Whew.

Well, uh, this is gonna be

a whole lot easier

if we can get a few volunteers.

Easier for who? You?

Look, we got to take control

of this situation.

And this is the best way.

I mean, hey,

if We're all gonna die,

it might as well be

on our own terms.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll teach

those f***ing aliens.

Hey, We're doing

what we can, man.

Yeah,

it's the best idea we got.

Then you volunteer.

I don't see you

stepping forward.

We should all step forward.

I mean, everybody but her.

So mass suicide, then?

Well, that... that's great.

Let's do that.

Hey, uh, kid...

You still want to volunteer?

No.

Yes.

You're a f***ing hero, kid.

You know that?

Yeah, right.

No, I'm serious.

Look, if I make it out of here,

I'm naming my next kid

after you.

- Thanks, Scott.

- Thank you, Scott.

F***ing a**holes.

You knew his name was Shaun!

Whatever. The kid's a hero.

Yeah, he bought us two minutes.

Somebody toss him

a purple heart.

All right, enough.

What?

What are you looking at me for?

Oh, you think it should be me?

I was in Afghanistan

for the past two years

risking my life

to keep the rest of you safe.

I just got back two days ago.

I was on my way

to see my family.

I got a 7-month old

who doesn't even know who I am.

My wife...

I haven't seen my wife in...

I'm not f***ing dying in here.

I'm not.

I'm going home to them.

Don't worry...

I'm not voting for you.

Me, neither.

Yeah, We're... We're gonna

get out of here, man.

- Yeah, sure we are.

- Come on, man.

No, you come on, man.

He knows the truth.

We all do.

Let's just accept it.

Just stop.

You're gonna die, dude.

We all are.

Time is, uh, running out.

Yeah, we still need

a volunteer.

Anybody.

I volunteer.

My son, Oscar...

He passed away last year.

- He was riding...

- His motorcycle.

It's okay.

I've forgiven him.

You'll see him again.

Do you think?

Absolutely.

Okay.

I go in peace.

Bye, everybody.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

"You'll see him again.

Absolutely."

- Bullshit.

- Yeah, seriously.

He was just trying

to give her some peace

in her last moments of life.

There's nothing wrong with that.

She sacrificed herself

so that others could live.

That doesn't go unnoticed.

- Says who?

- Says God.

How do you know?

I'm a minister.

And God is watching

over all of us.

He has a plan.

We just have to have faith.

Amen.

Enough, man.

I'm sorry?

With all due respect...

That's just bullshit.

Standing around there

talking about faith

when people are being blasted

to sh*t left and right,

that's f***ing ridiculous.

Hey, man.

If there is a God,

he doesn't give a sh*t

about any of us!

That's not true.

Oh, my God.

We're all dying in here.

This sh*t's not gonna end

until this motherf***er

gets all of us, okay?

So, you want to have faith

in something?

Have faith in this!

Okay, because that's God

in here now, all right?

That's God right now in here.

So pray to him,

or ask him, even better?

What does thou sayeth, God?

Who among us will get to go

to your divine kingdom?

Hey. Take it easy.

Or what?

You're gonna f***ing kill me

because I have an opinion?

It's just as valid

as yours, man.

Looking around this room,

actually,

I think

I might have some friends.

I think people agree with me.

95% of people believe in God.

You're in the minority.

Yeah, well,

95% of people are idiots.

Are you calling us idiots?

I'm not calling anybody idiots,

all right?

All I'm saying is this...

if there is a God,

is this something...

does this seem like

he Would allow this?

Is this something he Would do?

You f***ers are gonna kill me

because You're afraid I'm right?

What are you doing?

You're f***ing cowards, huh?

Wait, please.

I didn't even say

anything wrong.

He did. Who the f*** is this?!

Looks like God

just cut you a break.

Yeah.

For another two f***ing minutes.

Guys, I know this girl.

Don't I know you?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know you from somewhere.

- Me?

- Yeah.

Are you an actress?

You are so familiar.

No, I'm not an actress.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stacy something.

- No, Christina.

- Christina.

- Christina.

- Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Is Stacy your stage name, then?

No. I told you...

I'm not an actress.

That's what it is, right.

Guys, actress, porn star...

I get it now.

It's a huge difference.

What? I'm not a porn star.

Hey, I don't think anybody

cares around here, you know?

I mean, I just couldn't

figure it out before.

Now I know.

What?

Whew. I'm a huge fan.

What the f*** are you doing?

I don't do porn.

I don't think it's a problem.

I think everybody's got

to make a living.

I don't have a problem with it.

- I don't do porn.

- All right, whatever.

Hey, I'm just trying

to pay her a compliment.

He's lying.

I got to be honest with you,

you know?

I did like you better, though,

before your enhancements,

because now,

it's just like, "wha bam!"

Look at these bad boys."

He's lying.

Are they real?

That is none

of your f***ing business.

- Are you saying they're real?

- So what?
