I hold the gun out from my body, my arms straight, just as four taught me, when that was his only name. i used a gun like this to defend my father and brother from simulation-bound dauntless. i used it to stop eric from shooting tobias in the head. it is not inherently evil. it is just a tool.

Too bad you didn't just take max up on his offer, four. well, too bad for you, anyway," says eric quietly as he clicks the bullet into its chamber. my lungs burn; i haven't breathed in almost a minute. i see tobias's hand twitch in the corner of my eye, but my hand is already on my gun. i press the barrel to eric's forehead. his eyes widen, and his face goes slack, and for a second he looks like another sleeping dauntless soldier. my index finger hovers over the trigger. "get your gun away from his head," i say. "you won't shoot me," eric replies. "interesting theory. " i say.

Dauntless,' he says. 'i was born for abnegation. i was planning on leaving dauntless, and becoming factionless. but then i met her, and...i felt like maybe i could make something more of my decision.' her. for a moment, it's like i'm looking at a different person, sitting in tobias's skin, one whose life is not as simple as i thought. he wanted to leave dauntless, but he stayed because of me. he never told me that.

Abnegation produces deeply serious people. people who automatically see things like need,” he says. “i’ve noticed that when people switch to dauntless, it creates some of the same types. erudite who switch to dauntless tend to turn cruel and brutal. candor who switch to dauntless tend to become boisterous, fight-picking adrenaline junkies. and abnegation who switch to dauntless become . . . i don’t know, soldiers, i guess. revolutionaries.

What do--" tobias's voice. tobias! "oh my god. oh--" "spare me your blubbering, okay? peter says. "she's not dead; she's just paralyzed. it'll only last for about a minute. now get ready to run." i don't understand. how does peter know? "let me carry her," tobias says. "no. you're a better shot than i am. take my gun. i'll carry her.

Whoa there, tobias," says the man to my left. "weren't you raised a stiff? i thought the most you people did was... graze hands or something." "then how do you explain all the abnegation children?" tobias raises his eyebrows. "they are brought into being by sheer force of will," the woman on the arm of the chair interjects. "didn't you know that, tobias?" "no, i wasn't aware." he grins. "my apologies.

I don't know if you know this," tobias says, "but edward is a little unstable." "i'm getting that," i say. "that drew guy who helped peter perform that butterknife maneuver," tobias says. "apparently when he got kicked out of dauntless, he tried to join the same group of factionless edward was a part of. notice that you haven't seen drew anywhere.

If i wasn't an actor and i watched my films, i could easily be like 'this guy's a clown,' you know?

When a guy takes off his coat, he's not going to fight. when a guy takes off his wristwatch, watch out!

There are two kinds of actors -- one sits in a dressing room waiting for his call and the other gets out into the business and polishes his craft by absorbing everything. i don't know enough, i'll never learn everything i need to learn. when a guy thinks he's already learned it, he can only go backwards.

I'm not this tough guy, i'm not this super hard person.
