Quotes18

  • Amanda: [to Lynn] Let me give you the simple version. You will keep him alive, whatever it takes. No excuses, no equivocations.
  • [whispers]
  • Amanda: No crying.
  • Amanda: I'm sorry. I know it's hard to concentrate when you're surrounded by so many things you could kill me with. Like this axe I saw you looking at.
  • [holds the axe out to Lynn]
  • Amanda: Take it. Please, it's yours. Come on. I'd go for the neck, but I'm not the brain surgeon. Just do it quietly so John doesn't hear me die. Otherwise, he is likely to get upset, rip off his heart rate monitor - boom! Then, you just have to find the sensor and disarm it so you can walk more than thirty feet out that door without the collar detonating. Or, you could try and take the collar off yourself. But that could be tricky. The slightest knock in the wrong place could trigger it. I should know. I built it.
  • Jigsaw: And what about the other test subjects?
  • Amanda: What about 'em?
  • Jigsaw: Is that how you felt about them? Is that how you felt about Eric Matthews?
  • Amanda: Eric Matthews? I'll tell you how I felt about Eric Matthews. Eric Matthews learned nothing from your test.
  • [flashback]
  • Eric Matthews: Where is he, you junkie bitch? You're not Jigsaw, bitch!
  • Amanda: So?
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: My 20 second analysis without any medical equipment is that his brain is herniating.
  • Amanda: [sarcastically] Oh.
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: He needs to go to the hospital and have an operation to decompress his brain.
  • Amanda: [whispers] Come here. No, really, come here. Come here.
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: No.
  • Amanda: Let me ask you something.
  • [grabs Lynn by the hair]
  • Amanda: Did I bring John to you? Or did I bring your self-centered ass to him? Now you better start fucking paying attention. No one's going to any hospital.
  • [forcibly lets Lynn go]
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: I can't perform miracles. You're giving him painkillers - for a tumor like this he needs steroids, prednisones.
  • Amanda: [sarcastically] Oh, good, yeah.
  • [yells]
  • Amanda: Maybe we could try some corticosteroids, you know, like dexamethasone. Why don't you fucking tell me something that I don't know! You stupid cunt!
  • Amanda: So, do you have everything you need?
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: I have the instruments to cut someone open. I don't have the tools to save a life.
  • Amanda: [Amanda looks down at the Reverse Bear Trap] You'd be surprised what tools can save a life.
  • [Amanda picks up the Reverse Bear Trap]
  • Jigsaw: I have tried to help you, Amanda.
  • Amanda: Then help me! Fix me! Fix me motherfucker! I'm standing right here!
  • Amanda: He made it through the freezer room. He tried to save her.
  • [starts crying]
  • Jigsaw: There are some things I need you to do for me. In my desk. An envelope with your name on it.
  • Amanda: [referring to Lynn] She's going to do a procedure on you.
  • Jigsaw: Yeah?
  • Amanda: To relieve the pressure on your brain.
  • Jigsaw: Yeah.
  • Amanda: Help with the headaches.
  • [pauses]
  • Amanda: I can't do this!
  • [leans back in the chair and cries harder]
  • Jigsaw: Amanda, you can. You can! You're stronger now. And I believe in you.
  • Amanda: You chose her because she's the best, right?
  • Jigsaw: That's one reason I chose her.
  • [first lines]
  • Amanda: Game over.
  • Eric Matthews: I'll fucking kill you! You fucking bitch! You fucking bitch! I'll fucking kill you!
  • [screams hopelessly]
  • Amanda: Yeah, that's right. I'm a murderer.
  • Amanda: Are you gonna behave?
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: Who are you? Who are you? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
  • Amanda: [casually threatens Lynn with a knife] Are you gonna behave?
  • Amanda: Right fucking here!
  • Amanda: She doesn't deserve to go free!
  • Amanda: Eric Matthews? I'll tell you about Eric Matthews. Eric Matthews learned *nothing* from his test.
  • Jigsaw: You will give everything to me. Every cell in your body. Is that understood?
  • Amanda: Yes.
  • Jigsaw: The marks on your arms, they're from another life. We'll leave that life behind. When you walk down that corridor there is no turning back. Do you understand that?
  • Amanda: [reluctantly] Yes.
  • Jigsaw: Then start with this.
  • [hands Amanda an envelope]
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: You're asking me to do the impossible.
  • Amanda: I'm not asking you.
  • [referring to Jigsaw]
  • Amanda: He is.
  • Amanda: He's completed the third test.
  • Jigsaw: Congratulations Lynn, you're free to go.
  • Amanda: Yeah, but he's not all the way out yet.
  • [shakes her head]
  • Jigsaw: Undo her collar, Amanda, and let her go.
  • Amanda: No, he's not finished. He's not all the way.
  • Jigsaw: Amanda, Lynn is more important than you know. Unlock her collar and let her go.
  • Amanda: [whispering] I said no.
  • [caulks a handgun]
  • Jigsaw: Amanda, there are rules.
  • Amanda: [yelling] I said no!
  • Amanda: He made it through the second test. The judge is alive.
  • Jigsaw: Faster than I expected.
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: [before the surgery] Alright, John, I need you to keep your head to the side and keep still. What's going on here is your brain is pushing against your skull. I'm going to try and relieve the pressure by cutting away a little bit of your skull. It should help you with your headaches and drastically improve your motor skills. Do you understand?
  • Jigsaw: All too well.
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: [injecting medicine] You're going to feel some slight discomfort.
  • Amanda: Are you going to give him a general anesthetic?
  • Dr. Lynn Denlon: For a procedure like this the patient needs to be fully alert.
