The Chute Line-by-Line

Zio: The greatest threat, of course, would be if we started to cooperate with each other, so they prevented that. But there had to be more to it than that. And the longer I was in here, the more I knew it was my job to figure it out. That's the reason I was put here. And eventually, it came to me as though a fireball had exploded in my mind. And the realisation gave me a power over the others. They don't come near me any more. They're afraid of me because I know the truth. Well? Don't you want to know what it is? What is the ultimate purpose of the clamp?
 
ZIO: It's inspired. Brilliant. It's a method for controlling the prison population. We kill each other off.
 
ZIO: So you must enter into the battle. If you let the clamp control you, you'll end up like that crazy old man that took over your shelter. But if you learn to control it, you'll survive. Like me.
 
(Kim wedges himself safely and starts rubbing at the hatch.)

ZIO: What do you see? Are we at the surface?

(Kim is cleaning the grime off the inside of a space station's porthole.)
