Why do you keep

the rest?

Because I'm the one

that's gonna do this.

Do what?

Isn't that

what we decided?

Do what?

There's too many guns.

It doesn't make sense.

He put them here.

Who put them here?

Our new god.

Okay, like we discussed.

Everybody down

in the lobby.

And then what?

VINCE:
Calm down, calm down.

Look, come on, use your brains...

Somebody grab the keys.

(ALL TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Everybody, stay where you are!

Don't f***ing move!

(ALL SCREAM)

What the f***!

MAN:
Come on, let's move!

Come on, let's go!

F***ing move, man.

Let's go!

Guys, come on!

Come on, man.

F***ing move!

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

(GROANS)

(DOOR OPENS)

WENDELL:
I'm not babysitting here.

Don't worry about it.

You'll find out

when we get there.

Just get your ass

down the stairs.

(OPERATIC SONG PLAYING)

(INAUDIBLE)

Can I have your attention,

please?

I'm gonna need

everyone with children

under the age of 18

to step forward.

Why?

Barry, you can't do that!

(WOMEN SCREAMING)

BARRY:

Quickly, quickly, quickly.

Excuse me, sir.

Sir, sir.

I send money home

to my, uh, parents

every month for

my little brother.

Is your little brother made out

of your sperm, cocksucker?

No.

Then shut the f*** up!

Get back!

Everybody, back!

(WOMEN SCREAM)

Everybody, step back.

It's gonna help us a lot.

We don't have a lot of time.

So this will make this easier.

Just step back.

Good. Thank you.

If this group would please stand

by that wall, the west wall.

Okay, good. Come on.

Up against the wall.

All right.

Now I'm gonna need everybody

over the age of 60

to please step forward.

WENDELL:
You.

Come on, let's go.

Perhaps you should consider

this differently, yeah?

We could do a lottery.

People just can write their

names on a scrap of paper...

Don't undermine me again.

Are we clear?

Clear.

WENDELL:
How about you?

Are you over 60?

Let's go, come on!

Hey, you're only

doing this

because of the f***ing

chemicals in your system.

Everybody, listen up!

Now I realize that

this is very difficult.

But it's...

This is the right thing.

(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

This is the only

choice we have.

All right?

In less than 20 minutes,

they are going to kill

60 of the people in this room.

So we need order.

Now the next person

who speaks up,

who says a single word,

we are unfortunately gonna

put a bullet in your head.

Now if this group will kindly

go stand against the east wall.

Go.

Go, go, go.

Seven people.

F***!

Okay.

Him.

Let's go.

Her.

No.

Go.

(SHUSHING)

Her.

Go.

Don't touch me!

BARRY:
Him.

WENDELL:
You, let's go.

(WHIMPERS)

No, I'm not going!

I'm not going!

(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

Let him go.

(ALL SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING IN THE DISTANCE)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Please don't kill us.

music or something.
