David

• I'm nothing there. I blend into the walls. I don't know why, whoever did this to me, picked me. But they did.
• I'm a glorified janitor; I clean up after sick people.

Billy the Puppet

• I want to play a game.
• Congratulations David. You are still alive. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore.
• The device attached to your jaw is a "Reverse Beartrap".

Cop

• Tell me what happened, David. In detail.
• He wasn't dead. He just couldn't move. You cut open someone that was still breathing.
• Are you grateful, David?
