• Logan : NO! Don't go in there! You don't have to die! No one has to die at 30! You could live! LIVE! Live, and grow old! I've seen it! She's seen it!

  [shows the crystal on his palm] 

  Logan : Well, look! LOOK! LOOK, IT'S CLEAR!

  [crowd laughs] 

  Computer : Lastday, Capricorn 29's. Year of the City: 2274. Carousel begins.

  Jessica : No! Don't! Don't go! Listen to him! He's telling the truth!

  [more laughter] 

  Jessica : We've been outside! There's another world outside! We've seen it!

  [Sandmen grab them] 

  Logan : Life clocks are a lie! Carousel is a lie! THERE IS NO RENEWAL!

• Logan : Question?

  Computer : Hold. Unaccounted runners: One Zero Five Six. You may state your question.

  Logan : One thousand and fifty-six unaccounted for?

  Computer : The number is correct.

  Logan : That's impossible. Question: Maybe they weren't all runners. Maybe most of them reached life renewal on Carousel. Question: Nobody reached renewal? But, everybody believes that, that some...

  Computer : The question has been answered, Logan 5.

  Logan : You mean, nobody's ever been renewed?

  Computer : The question has been answered.

• Computer : Capricorn 15's. Born 2244. Enter the Carousel. This is the time of renewal.

  [crowd applauds] 

  Computer : Be strong and you will be renewed. Identify.

  [Capricorn 15's show flashing crystals] 

• Logan : Question: What is it?

  Computer : That is the name of the object: Ankh. Do you identify this word? Sanctuary?

  Logan : Negative.

  Computer : Sanctuary is a pre-catastrophe code word. Used for a place of immunity.

  Logan : I don't understand?

  Computer : The object Ankh has been identified with the code word Sanctuary. The object and the word both relate to runners who have not been accounted for.

• Computer : You will find Sanctuary and destroy.

  Logan : Question: What if I need help from another Sandman?

  Computer : Negative. You will begin assignment by becoming a runner seeking Sanctuary.

  Logan : Question: I'm only Red 6 now. Well, how can I pretend that I'm approaching last day?

  Computer : Identify.

  Logan : My life-clock.

  [it's blinking] 

  Logan : Question: my life-clock?

  Computer : Retrogram complete. Proceed: Zero Three Three Zero Three.

  Logan : But? Am I still Red 6? But, I have four more years. I will get them back, won't I?

  Computer : You will take the object Ankh with you for identification.

  Logan : Question: Do I get my four years back?

• Computer : Last day. Capricorn 15's. Year of the city - 2274. Carousel begins.
