“Can you do that?” Thomas asked. “Huh?”“Kill someone three times.”“I’d figure out a way.”
“Thomas had a depressing - and scary - thought. 'Am I . . . replacing someone? Did somebody get killed?'Minho shook his head. 'No, we're just training you - someone'll want a break. Don't worry, it's been a while since a Runner was killed.'For some reason that last statement worried Thomas, though he hoped it didn't show on his face.”
“Maybe you should just press the button”
“Just go with it', he thought. 'You won't figure out anything if you give in to fear'.”
“I didn't do anyting wrong. All I know is I saw two people struggling to get inside these walls and they [Minho and Alby] couldn't make it. To ignore that because of some stupid rule seemed selfish, cowardly, and... well, stupid. If you want to throw me in jail for trying to save someone's [Alby] life, then go ahead. Next time I promise I'll point at them and laugh, then go eat some of Frypan's dinner. -Thomas”
“Didn't know you could measure distance so well with nothing but you bloody eyeballs”
