Transcript
(The chapter opens with John Sheppard and his twin brother being kicked out of their trailer home by their father.)

Mr. Sheppard: You good for nothing hoodlums! Get the hell out of here! Go on, beat it, you lousy no-good brats! Come back when your fuckin' mother comes home from work!

John: He's drunk again...

John's twin brother: What are we gonna do? It's pouring rain. We're gonna get soaked if we spend the day outside.

John: Well, at least we won't get beat. A little rain never hurt nobody. Come on, let's go play.

(John and his brother walk away from their trailer. John turns and starts running.)

John: Betcha can't catch me!

(The player can view John's brother's thoughts here.)

(If he chooses "John":)

John's twin brother: John's right. We can't just stand here all day. Might as well go and play!

(If he chooses "Outside":)

John's twin brother: Being out in the rain is nothing compared to being in when he's like that!

(If he chooses "Mom":)

John's twin brother: Mom won't be back from work till later. She wouldn't let him treat us like this...

(John and his brother race to a nearby construction site. They enter an unfinished building, and John runs past his brother.)

(The player can view John's brother's thoughts here.)

(If he chooses "Building Site":)

John's twin brother: The construction site is empty. Makes for a great playground!

(If he chooses "Too Fast":)

John's twin brother: John's going too fast. He never waits for me.

(John's brother follows him back outside.)

John: Move your ass, I'm waiting!

(A new thought, "Big Pipe," appears.)

(If John's brother chooses "Big Pipe":)

John's twin brother: John went through a big pipe. If he can make it...

(John's brother enters a narrow pipe.)

John: Watch your head!

(If John's brother fails the QTE, he hits his head.)

John: I told you to watch your head, you dumbass.

(John climbs over a wall, then turns around and waves his arm in a "come on" gesture.)

John: Betcha can't do that!

(John's brother gives himself a running start, then jumps and climbs over a wall. John disappears around a corner and up a flight of stairs.)

John: Jeez, you ain't nothing but a slowpoke.

(John's brother ascends the stairs and finds John climbing a stack of bricks.)

John: Whatcha doing? You coming or not?

(John's brother climbs the stack of bricks and follows him to the other end of the site. John runs down a flight of stairs.)

(A new thought, "Stairs," appears.)

(If John's brother chooses "Stairs":)

John's twin brother: I think he went down here.

(John's brother descends the stairs and finds John entering a large yellow pipe.)

John: Yippie-ki-yay!

(John slides down the pipe.)

(A new thought, "Pipe," appears.)

(If John's brother chooses "Pipe":)

John's twin brother: John went into this big pipe. Looks like a really super fast slide, wow!

(John's brother enters the pipe and slides down it, finding John climbing up the building.)

John: You don't need to do this if it's too hard for you.

John's twin brother: No chance, I can do it alright. Just you watch.

(John's brother starts to follow him up the building. If he misses any of the QTEs, he almost falls but manages to catch himself.)

(After John's brother makes it up the building, he finds John walking across a narrow wooden plank, holding his arms out to each side to keep his balance.)

John's twin brother: John, wait for me!

(A new thought, "Ain't Scared," appears.)

(If John's brother chooses "Ain't Scared":)

John's twin brother: No way I'm scared! It's easy as pie!

(John's brother follows him across the plank, and John jumps across a gap.)

John: Come on, it's your turn!

(The player can view John's brother's thoughts here.)

(If he chooses "Danger":)

John's twin brother: Holy cow, he's crazy. We could break our necks doing this!

(If he chooses "Jump":)

John's twin brother: I ain't scared! If he can do it, I can do it!

(John's brother gives himself a running start. If he misses the QTE, he stops and looks down over the edge nervously; otherwise, he manages to jump over the gap.)

John: It's time for the jump of death!

John's twin brother: John, wait!

(John jumps down into a pile of sand. John's brother can jump down after him or look over the edge.)

(If he looks over the edge, John waves at him from below.)

John: Ta-da!

(A new thought, "Big Jump," appears.)

(If John's brother chooses "Big Jump":)

John's twin brother: Whoa...this is really scary.

(Once John's brother jumps into the pile of sand, he and John high five each other.)

John: Let's play hide-and-seek! You go and count to 20 and try to find me, okay?

(John's brother covers his eyes and counts to 20; the player can choose to have him play fair or cheat. Regardless, while looking for John he hears him cry for help.)

John's twin brother: Those cries...that's John's voice!

(The player can view John's brother's thoughts here.)

(If he chooses "Playing?":)

John's twin brother: If he's just messing with me, he's gonna regret it.

(If he chooses "Find":)

John's twin brother: Gotta listen out for him... I should follow his voice.

(John's brother finds him in a large broken pipe, which is rapidly filling with rainwater.)

John: My foot...my foot is stuck...

John's twin brother: Grab on! I'll pull you out of there!

(John's brother tries to pull him out of the pipe, but fails.)

John: Crap, it ain't gonna work. What are we gonna do?

John's twin brother: Hang on, John! I'll get help, just hang on!

John: Go on, hurry! I think the water's rising...

John's twin brother: I'm hurrying! I'll be right back!
