Exam

& Invigilator*: Through these trials, you've gained some idea of the power of this organization, so believe me when I tell you that there's no law in this room but our law. And the only rules in here are our rules.


& Invigilator: There's one question before you, and one answer is required. If you try to communicate with myself or the guard, you will be disqualified. If you spoil* your paper, intentionally or accidentally, you will be disqualified. If you choose to leave the room for any reason, you will be disqualified.


& White: Fucking philosophers. Thank God this world belongs to the doers, not the thinkers.


& Brown: {...} So they joined the board, secured some big fat stock options and bought themselves the right to have a little fun... With us.
    Brunette: Don't they have better things to do with their time?
    Brown: Like what? At their level, money ceases to be the prime motivator. It's risk they live for. They're type A's, like us, and just as they were trained by their investment companies, they're still betting on ideas today. Ours.

& Brown: Psychologist or psychiatrist? I forget the difference.
    Dark: Psychiatrists dispense drugs to control mood. I'm a qualified student of human behavior.
    Brown: Then you should know what I'm talking about. The point of having power is to exercise it in all its forms. We're pawns* of the Gods in here.


& Black: You're full of shit, White. You have been from the start. You don't know anything.
    Dark: He wouldn't tell us if he did, 'cause he's a narcissist. He despises* us.
    White: Sticks and stones, love. I bet you say that to all the boys.
    Dark: Only the ones with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. There are nine character traits to look for: arrogance
*, grandiosity, a belief in one's uniqueness, a preoccupation with power and success, an excessive need to be admired, a sense of entitlement*, lack of empathy and the twin tendencies to envy* and exploit others. For clinical diagnosis, a patient must exhibit five of these. You tick enough boxes.


& White 2 Blonde: Well, l would've preferred the kiss of life. I bet you're good at that.


& White: You still don't get it, do you? Let me spell this out for you. There is no question! All right? There never was one! Not the kind you're looking for anyway.
    Black: You heard the Invigilator. There's one question before you, and one answer is required. There is one question! Are you calling him a liar?
    White: When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever's left has to be the truth. No matter how crazy it seems. This test is the question! And the answer is us.


& Blonde: Let's get started.
