Domain (2016)
William Gregory Lee: Boston
Quotes
-
Boston : I have a proposal for the Domain.
Orlando : Oh here it comes, the bullshit Domain.
Boston : Since day one, Orlando's been nothing but a thorn in our sides and now he's confessing to brutally murdering innocent people.
Orlando : No no no, they weren't *all* innocent.
Boston : We don't have to listen to it anymore. We just ban him and shut off his feed for good.
Orlando : Ah!
[claps]
Orlando : I love it! You can't ban me.
Denver : I can.
Houston : For real? You can just shut us off at anytime?
Denver : It's not that simple, okay? It's a hack I came across after studying the code for years. But that doesn't mean I agree with Boston. Banning someone is permanent, we can't come back from it so we have to make sure that this is something we all wanna do.
-
Phoenix : [after Houston's day cycle malfunctions and their terminals go blank] I think we should turn Orlando's feed back on.
Atlanta : What? No!
Boston : Why?
Phoenix : Maybe we broke the system when we banned him. Think about it, there are supposed to be seven of us and right now there are only six, maybe we caused the glitch.

Nadine : [in an instructional video] Hello, my name is Nadine, and I am the designer of the LSB-300 lifesaving bunker. If you're watching this, the lottery is over and you are one of the lucky few who will live through the Saharan flu epidemic. You are a survivor. If need be, your bunker can keep you alive for up to 70 years.
Houston : [as the lights in his bunker keep flashing bright colors that change every few seconds] Yeah I tell you, I ain't gonna last 70 hours if this shit don't stop.
Boston : It'll work itself out, just calm down.
Houston : Oh, you wanna trade bunkers?
Nadine : To protect you from surface conditions, your bunker is 30 feet underground. The artificial day cycle will keep your sleep patterns normal. Your bunker is stocked with enough Supplival powder to last a lifetime. When mixed with water, Supplival creates a delicious shake that's packed with nutrients, in vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate.
Atlanta : [drinking her Supplival] This is so *not* a chocolate shake.
Nadine : The generator powers the bunker's closed-loop air and water filtration. 100% of what you consume is recycled.
Boston : Wait a minute, does that mean we drink our own piss?
Denver : You just now realized that?
Boston : [dryly] Science is amazing.
Nadine : The generator also powers the atmosphere purifier. The purifier filters contaminated air molecules and strips them of the virus. The 500,000 bunkers that make up the network operate in tandem to eliminate the viral threat. The network generates an estimate for how long this process will take, based on daily data which you can view in your statistics terminal. Solitary habitation is necessary to ensure that this virus spreads no further. To combat the inevitable sense of isolation, we created Domain. Domain is an information and social networking platform. Domain also allows full access to our encyclopedic archives. Studies found that groups of seven create an ideal long-term social networking community. Each group of seven was selected using algorithms derived from your personal histories. Right now I too am probably living out my days in an LSB-300 just like yours, wondering how much longer I'll be down here. One thing is certain, we will eradicate the Saharan flu. Your efforts matter, *you* matter. We are the survivors. An Earth free of this virus awaits, humanity is counting on us.

Phoenix : [about her and Denver's 'relationship'] I'm sorry to be blunt, but it's really none of your business.
Boston : Look, I'm just worried about you, okay? I mean there's something about him that just gives me the creeps, don't you see that?
Phoenix : No I don't. He's never been anything but supportive and loving.
Boston : You never even met him in person.
Phoenix : I never met you in person and you expect me to trust you. What is this about, Boston?
Boston : Denver reminds me of my dad. His looks, his voice, his mannerisms, everything. You know on the surface, he's really friendly, super smart and charming, but there was something really fake about it all. I mean he was mean as shit behind closed doors. You hit this switch and snap, he was a monster.
Phoenix : Listen, I always appreciate your honesty, and thank you for your concern, but I know Denver, and he is nothing like your father.
-
Boston : How many people have you killed anyway?
Orlando : To be honest, 15, maybe 20, I don't know.
Atlanta : Oh my God!
Orlando : [mocks her] 'Oh my God!' Are you serious? Come on, most of them were bank robberies gone bad. I'm sorry, hold on, there *was* a time I did it for sport, and to tell you the truth, it was actually fun.
Atlanta : I am trying to find a way to pray for your soul, but I'm not sure if you even have one.
Orlando : Oh and this is coming from the Mother of the Year. What's it like to uh, think about those three precious angels up there dead with everyone else?
Atlanta : How *dare* you?
Orlando : No, I'm just asking, I mean they were, they were kids, right? I mean that is a hell of a way to go, especially being so young.
Houston : Dude, that is fucked up.
Orlando : But it's the truth, that's what I'm talking about, hey the truth! And none of you want to hear it!
-
Boston : Is there any chance that Orlando can actually be in there somewhere?
Denver : I mean there's a possibility he could be dead or I don't know, hiding from the camera, but that doesn't seem like his personality.
Phoenix : Well what if he tried to escape?
Atlanta : How can he escape? The doors are locked.
Phoenix : Has anyone tried their door since the terminal shut down?
[everybody looks to their doors]
-
Boston : Chicago, nice of you to join us.
Chicago : Give me a break, I think I have a cold.
Boston : You're in a hermetically sealed environment, so that's actually physically impossible.
Chicago : Well *something's* making me sick.
Houston : Maybe you should drink a fucking Supplival, put some meat on them weak ass bones.
-
Denver : So the bunkers are all connected, right? Every bunker in the Network has its own feed, that's 500,000 feeds. So the Domain, what it does is it limits access to the seven people in your group. The feeds, they're still there, but you just can't see 'em.
Phoenix : Well can you access them now?
Denver : Yeah, I already did. I can only pull 'em up one at a time. This is a random one.
[shows an empty bunker]
Denver : I'm assuming they already took this person.
[shows another bunker with a black man silently talking incessantly]
Phoenix : Who is that?
Denver : No idea.
Boston : Why can't we hear him?
Denver : I couldn't locate the audio streams, video only, so we can't communicate with them, and they can't see us.
-
Phoenix : Maybe the lock that seals the door can be broken.
Boston : Sudden depressurization could be fatal.
Phoenix : Well that's a risk I'm willing to take.
Boston : In here, we're safe.
Phoenix : [after watching a video of Orlando being kidnapped from his bunker] We're not safe, and that video is proof.
-
Denver : There's more.
Phoenix : What?
Denver : There's only 1,000 feeds coming from the main server.
Boston : So what?
Denver : So there should be 500,000, one from each bunker.
Phoenix : Is it possible you just can't access them all?
Denver : No, no, I mean I didn't think that it was possible, so I triple checked, but I'm telling you, there's only 1,000 bunkers.
Boston : What does that mean?
Denver : It means they lied to us.
