Dave Made a Maze Page #4

questions in complete sentences.

"I built the maze because," and.

I built the maze because

I wanted to make something.

And?

And I wanted to make something

that people would see and say,

"that's cool,

why didn't I think of that?"

Right, I get it.

You had to make it.

Yeah.

People spend their whole lives

striving to find something,

- and you did.

- Yeah.

- So tell me about that.

- Ok.

Some people spend their whole

lives trying, or striving,

to make something, and I did.

But, that's not right.

Tell me about that.

I didn't, I wasn't striving

for anything.

I just wanted to make something.

And I can't sit on my couch

and watch TV,

or think that the Internet

is going to inspire me,

because I'm f***ing

30 years old.

And my parents are

still giving me money.

And I bore the sh*t out of them.

And I work jobs that I hate

that I have to beg to get.

Do you know what it means

to be broke?

It means that you are broken.

That you don't work.

Ahhh!

Everyone are a**holes!

- Is.

- Everyone is a**holes!

No, that doesn't sound right.

And I'm not angry,

I'm f***ing furious!

But don't make me seem angry.

Or spineless, please.

- No, no, of course not.

- For f***'s sake,

do not make me look like

a spineless a**hole.

Of course not. Boom.

I built something because

I wanted to build something.

And if I could just finish it,

I just know that it would...

It would be great!

And tertiary, tertiary,

I might be responsible for

the people that died yesterday.

Or today, I don't know

what time it is.

And if I am,

then I'm sorry.

Tertiarily.

Tell me more about that.

Dave, don't go.

A few more questions.

Ugh!

Such an a**hole!

Dave, we have

to get out of here.

Ok.

Here!

Guys, we're gonna

get out of the maze.

Let's get some ideas.

Here's everything

we've got to work with.

Ok, this could work.

We set this against John cougar

Mellencamp's walls come tumbling down.

Somehow this thing is alive.

It's growing.

And it's organic.

Maybe if the five of us

could find the heart,

- we could kill it.

- Five, you mean six.

What the hell happened to you?

Heh, I just thought

I could slide right back in.

Got lost for a second there.

Are you Ok?

Yeah.

You sure?

What happened to you?

I don't want to talk about it.

Wait, how did you find us?

Hey, come on!

We're guests here.

Goddamn it.

We got him. We got him.

Let's capture some of

the fear and the dread.

Unh!

Help... me.

Help.

Please.

Ok, where were we?

Something about a heart?

Right? Gordon.

Gordon, Gordon, I need you.

Ok, a heart? Where's the heart?

Is there a heart?

Can we stop it?

Well,

you know, traditionally,

if there's

a structural weakness,

it would be in the center.

Dave, you said you that

you started from the center

and then you built

outward, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, like a seashell.

Ok, so is there a heart?

A generator?

A light switch?

- Primordial Clay?

- Oh, you mean like a chrysalis?

- Yes!

- No.

See, that's a drag,

because if there was,

we could just find

the center, destroy it,

and, you know, go home.

Well, there is no

weak spot to exploit,

because I didn't make one.

Why didn't you make one?

Because if I made one, then

someone could destroy it.

You don't have to fail if

you never finish anything.

But Dave, we all

have to deal with that.

Every day.

And you have to get over it if you're

ever gonna accomplish anything.

You know, like,

saving our lives.

It's just that

this is the only thing

that I ever started

that's worth finishing,

and if I hadn't made it

then no one

would have gotten hurt.

But you did make it.

It's here, and we're here in it,

and now we need you

to get us out of here.

Wait, are you saying

I should finish it?

You've got to

build the chrysalis,

in order to rescue us.

Oh, my god, I love you.

Let me get this straight.

We're gonna build a chrysalis

and then destroy it.

- Would that be right?

- Let's go!

To the chrysalis chamber!

I'll take that as a yes.

Oh, no, no,

actually don't go that way.

Oh, god. What... what did I step in?

I'm dead, aren't I?

I'm dead. Great.

Why... Dave!

- Why are you doing this to me?

- You're fine.

Oh, for god's sake.

Did you build a maze

inside your maze?

I'm in

a completely new place, guys!

I swear to god.

I'm a new guy.

I mean you couldn't even

finish the little maze

inside of the big maze,

could you?

Before, I was bored!

And flailing.

And now, I'm completely focused!

Honey, can you please

back me up?

Did you ever stop building?

Yes, I did.

When pizza was being discussed.

The initial pizza concept,

or delivery?

I wasn't done!

Ah! And what a surprise,

you're not finished here!

Who saw that coming?

Well, guys, another part of

the maze successfully navigated.

I'm so glad we had

the time to enjoy this.

Oh, my god, come on.

Hey, thank you.

- Oh, hey, guys!

- Hey.

- Brynn?

- Hey!

High five!

Don't, don't, don't!

Dave, did you build

a cardboard Brynn?

Hey, high five!

- Hey, Brynn.

- Thought you were dead.

No way!

I'm fine!

Where are we headed?

What are we up to?

Come over here and talk to me.

High five!

Nowhere. We're just,

just enjoying the maze.

Oh, yeah, you're telling me!

Come over here and talk to me.

We're cool.

Yeah, we are!

High five!

We have to get past this thing.

Maybe we can distract it?

High five?

High five.

We gotta go now.

- But...

- No.

The longer we take, the bigger

this thing's gonna get.

We have to get some distance,

find a straightaway,

and then cut to the center.

But what about the spider web?

We move fast.

Distract her.

And don't let it

leave this room.

Ok, thank you.

Ok, can I get a white balance?

Thank you, Gordon.

Ok, it looks fine.

So, Brynn.

- High five!

- High five.

- Uh, Brynn, what drives you?

- High fives!

Come over here

and give me a high five!

Oh, I will.

But let's just stay on this

for a moment.

What drives you?

What makes you tick?

Let's talk about that.

High five!

Ask why it wants a high five.

Why, in your own words,

do you want a high five?

- Because high fives...

- Ahem.

I want a high five because

high fives is what man does.

And why is that?

Come on, keep it talking.

Gordon, please let me do my job.

Why are we here, Brynn?

Life is a series

of incomplete moments

from which there is no escape.

Well, that's different.

Ok, should we build

the chrysalis now,

- or should we...

- Just a little farther.

How about here?

Should we cut to

the center here?

Just a little farther.

Dave.

Dave?

Dave?

You didn't have to

get up so early.

I wanted to be with you.

Your coffee's gonna get cold.

Where's your cup?

I don't want coffee

this morning.

Are you going back to sleep?

No.

There just wasn't

enough for two.

Well, now I feel bad.

Don't feel bad.

Just have your coffee.

Here,

have some.

I made it for you.

I don't want to drink it all

if you can't have any.

Just drink it.

What have you got
