- Colin Ritman: There's messages in every game. Like Pac-Man. Do you know what "Pac" stands for? P-A-C: program and control. He's Program and Control Man. The whole thing's a metaphor. He thinks he's got free will, but really he's trapped in a maze, in a system. All he can do is consume, he's pursued by demons that are probably just in his own head and even if he does manage to escape by slipping out one side of the maze, what happens? He comes right back in the other side. People think it's a happy game. It's not a happy game, it's a fucking nightmare world and the worst thing is, it's real and we live in it. It's all code. If you listen closely, you can hear the numbers. There's a cosmic flowchart that dictates where you can and where you can't go. I've given you the knowledge. I've set you free. Do you understand?
- Dr. Haynes: The past is immutable, Stefan. No matter how painful it is, we can't change things. We can't choose differently with hindsight. We all have to learn to accept that.
- Stefan Butler: I've actually had a bit of breakthrough with the game. I think I'd got bogged down before, but now I can see.
- Dr. Haynes: So you finally finished it?
- Stefan Butler: Finished, delivered, everything. I'd been trying to give the player too much choice. So I just went back and stripped loads out. And now they've only got the illusion of free will, but really, I decide the ending.
- Dr. Haynes: And is it a happy ending?
- Stefan Butler: I think so.
- Stefan Butler: [Message on the computer terminal - I am watching you on Netflix] Fucking hell. Who... What the fuck is Netflix?

- Judith Mulligan: [In the video given by Colin] ... We exist within multiple parallel realities at once. One reality for each possible course of action we might take in life. Whatever we choose to do in this existence, there's another one out there in which we're doing quite the opposite. If you follow that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, then you're absolved of any guilt from your actions. But they're not even your actions. It's out of your control. Your fate has been dictated, it's out of your hands.
