Circle (II) (2015)

Michael Nardelli: Eric

Quotes 

• Eric : Of course. All that... all that for nothing? All that. What's the matter, huh? What? I'm not good enough for you? What? I'm not the one that you wanted? I'm exactly the same as everybody else in here! They all got to make their own choices! They chose to kill each other. That's what you wanted to see, right, huh? Well, there you go, congratulations. We're assholes. Fuck you!

• The Bearded Man : [the fake wife gets eliminated due to the silent man not voting]  Jesus Christ. Why didn't you vote?

  Eric : Because he doesn't vote. Never has, not once.

  The Bearded Man : What?

  Eric : He's never even said a word, never voted, and he's made it all this way.

  The Bearded Man : Dumb fucking luck.

  Eric : Maybe. Maybe not.

  The Bearded Man : What?

  Eric : Maybe it was no accident.

  The Bearded Man : What are you talking about?

  Eric : I think that there's a reason why he's still alive

  The Bearded Man : Yeah, because he's been hiding, hoping we wouldn't notice him. Well, guess what, buddy? Your time's up. There's nowhere left for you to hide.

  Eric : No. No, I don't think that's it.

  The Bearded Man : Then what?

  Eric : Think about it. He's the only person in here who has never voted.

  The Bearded Man : So he's survived this long just because he hasn't participated.

  Eric : I don't know. Could be.

  The Bearded Man : That's the answer to all of this. So what does that mean? That he... He gets to live?

  Eric : Maybe.

  The Bearded Man : Does that make him untouchable?

  Eric : There's one way to know for sure.

  The Bearded Man : Yeah. Lets see what happens. If we vote for him, maybe all this will stop. Come on. Come on.

  [Looks at Eric] 

  The Bearded Man : Wait.

  [He gets voted] 

• The Pregnant Girl : Why are they doing this to us?

  Eric : It's some kind of experiment, I guess.

  The Pregnant Girl : And that's it.

  Eric : Yeah, maybe. I mean, maybe they just wanted to learn about us.

  The Pregnant Girl : Learn what?

  Eric : I don't know. Maybe just to see what we would do and who we would choose and why.

  The Pregnant Girl : For what?

  Eric : To understand us... what we value, what we don't, what matters to us.

  The Pregnant Girl : By making us kill each other?

  Eric : When we kill someone, we're judging them, and we're saying that there's something wrong with them. I think that's what they've been looking for.

  The Pregnant Girl : So what do we do now?

  Eric : That's up to the two of you.

  The Pregnant Girl : But how do we choose?

  Eric : I don't know. But once I'm gone, one of you is gonna have to step forward, otherwise you'll both die. But you're going to have to decide for yourselves, I can't do it for you. You don't have much time.

  The Little Girl : [after long pause]  I'll go.

  Eric : For the baby, right?

  The Little Girl : Uh-huh.

  Eric : That's very brave of you. What's your name?

  The Little Girl : Katie.

  Eric : Okay, Katie. We'll go together, okay?

  The Little Girl : Okay.

  Eric : It has to end this way.

  [as the countdown starts to go off] 

  Eric : There's no more time. Do it!

  [as Katie steps off her circle Eric votes for the pregnant girl as Katie realizes too late as she completely steps off the circle]
