General Hux: "Supreme Leader! The fuel cells have ruptured! The collapse of the planet has begun!"

Snoke: "Leave the base at once and come to me with Kylo Ren. It is time to complete his training."

Kylo Ren: "[pushes Rey back towards the edge of a cliff during their lightsaber duel] You need a teacher! I could show you the ways of the Force!"

Rey: ""…the Force!" [closes her eyes for a few moments, then opens them and, being centered and fortified, fights back with single-handed swipes, hitting Ren's lightsaber with incredible force. Rey attacks Kylo Ren harder and harder, until she finally cleaves his lightsaber in two and slashes a scar across his face]"

Kylo Ren: "Look how old you've become."

Lor San Tekka: "Something far worse has happened to you."

Kylo: "You know what I've come for."

Lor: "I know where you come from. Before you called yourself "Kylo Ren"."

Kylo: "The map to Skywalker. We know you found it. And now you're going to give it to the First Order."

Lor: "The First Order rose from the Dark Side. You did not."

Kylo: "I'll show you the Dark Side."

Lor: "You may try. But you cannot deny the truth that is your family."

Kylo: "You're so right. [Activates his lightsaber and kills Lor]"

Kylo Ren: "Forgive me. I feel it again. The pull to the light. The Supreme Leader senses it. Show me again...the power of the darkness...and I will let nothing stand in our way. Show me, Grandfather, and I will finish what you started."

General Hux: "(addressing an assembly of First Order troops) Today is the end of the Republic. The end of a regime that acquiesces to disorder. At this very moment in a system far from here, the New Republic lies to the galaxy while secretly supporting the treachery of the loathsome Resistance. This fierce machine which you have built, upon which we stand, will bring an end to the Senate, to their cherished fleet. All remaining systems will bow to the First Order and will remember this as the last day of the"

Snoke: "The scavenger resisted you?!!"

Kylo Ren: "She is strong with the Force! Untrained, but stronger than she knows!"

Snoke: "And the droid?"

General Hux: "Ren believed it was no longer valuable to us. That the girl was all we needed. As a result, the droid has most likely been returned to the hands of the enemy. They may have the map already."

Snoke: "Then the Resistance must be destroyed before they get to Skywalker."

General Hux: "We have their location. We tracked their reconnaissance ship to the Ileenium system."

Snoke: "Good. Then we will crush them once and for all. Prepare the weapon."

Kylo Ren: "Supreme Leader, I can get the map from the girl. I just need your guidance."

Snoke: "If what you say about this girl is true, bring her to me."

Snoke: "The droid will soon be delivered to the Resistance, leading them to the last Jedi. If Skywalker returns, the new Jedi will rise."

General Hux: "Supreme Leader, I take full responsibility..."

Snoke: "GENERAL!! Our strategy must now change."

General Hux: "The weapon...it is ready. I believe the time has come to use it. We shall destroy the government that supports the Resistance...the Republic. Without their friends to protect them, the Resistance will be vulnerable, and we will stop them before they reach Skywalker."

Snoke: "Go. Oversee preparations."

General Hux: "Yes, Supreme Leader."

Snoke: "There has been an awakening. Have you felt it?"

Kylo Ren: "Yes."

Snoke: "There's something more. The droid we seek is aboard the Millennium Falcon...in the hands of your father, Han Solo."

Kylo Ren: "He means nothing to me."

Snoke: "Even you, Master of the Knights of Ren, have never faced such a test."

Kylo Ren: "By the grace of your training, I will not be seduced."

Snoke: "We shall see. (as his hologram fades) We shall see."

Rey: "Where am I?"

Kylo Ren: "You're my guest."

Rey: "Where are the others?"

Kylo Ren: "You mean the murderers, traitors, and thieves you call "friends"? You'll be relieved to hear I have no idea. (slight pause) You still want to kill me."

Rey: "That happens when you're being hunted by a creature in a mask."

Kylo Ren: "(removes his mask, revealing his face. He moves forward, slams down his mask onto a table, and stands in front of Rey.) Tell me about the droid."

Ren: "He's a BB-unit with a selenium drive and a thermal hyperscan vindicator..."

Kylo Ren: "He's carrying a section of a navigation chart. We have the rest, recovered from the archives of the Empire, but we need the last piece, and somehow you convinced the droid to show it to you. You. A scavenger. (slight pause) You know I can take whatever I want. (He reaches his hand towards Rey's face. Rey looks away, struggling to keep Kylo Ren out of her head) You've been so lonely, so afraid to leave. At night, desperate to sleep, you imagine an ocean. I see it. I see the island. And Han Solo;"

Ren: "Get out of my head! (Kylo Ren moves back, keeping his hand close to Rey's face)"

Kylo Ren: "I know you've seen the map. It's in there; and now you'll give it to me. (Continues to probe Rey's mind. Rey continues to resist.) Don't be afraid; I feel it, too."

Rey: "I'm not giving you anything!"

Kylo Ren: "We'll see. (He struggles to read Rey's thoughts. After a few moments, he looks at Rey with disbelief.)"

Ren: "You...you're afraid...that you will never be as strong as Darth Vader! (Kylo Ren puts his hand down. Both he and Rey stare at each other, confused and afraid of what has happened.)"

Rey: "(hesitant) You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open."

Stormtrooper: "What did you say?"

Rey: "(aggressive) You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open."

Stormtrooper: "(approaching) I'll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum."

Rey: "(relaxed) You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open."

Stormtrooper: "(long pause) I will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open. (He does so and moves to leave)"

Rey: "And you'll drop your weapon!"

Stormtrooper: "(casually) And I'll drop my weapon. (drops blaster)"

Kylo Ren: "We're not done yet."

Rey: "(in tears) You're a monster!"

Kylo Ren: "It's just us now. Han Solo can't save you. (pounds on the bowcaster wound in his side. Rey readies her blaster, but Ren uses the Force, throwing her high against a tree and she crumples to the ground)"

Finn: "REY! (runs to her to see if she's okay, holding the Skywalker lightsaber in his hands)"

Kylo Ren: "Traitor! (Finn turns to face Ren, draws the lightsaber and ignites it) That lightsaber! It belongs to me!"

Finn: "Come get it! (attacks)"

Rey: "(having experienced a strange vision after touching the Skywalker lightsaber and seeing Maz Kanata walk towards her) What was that? I shouldn't have gone in there!"

Maz Kanata: "That lightsaber was Luke's, and his father's before him, and now it calls to you."

Rey: "I have to get back to Jakku."

Maz Kanata: "Han told me. (removes her goggles and takes Rey's hand) Dear child, I see your eyes; you already know the truth. Whomever you're waiting for on Jakku, they're never coming back. But there's someone who still could."

Rey: "Luke."

Maz Kanata: "The belonging you seek is not behind you; it is ahead. I'm no Jedi, but I know the Force. It moves through and surrounds every living thing. Close your eyes...feel it. The light...it's always been there; it will guide you. The saber...take it."

Rey: "I'm never touching that thing again. I don't want any part of this! (runs away)"

Han Solo: "(after BB-8 shows Han, Finn, and Rey the map to Luke Skywalker) This map's not complete. It's just a piece. Ever since Luke disappeared, people have been looking for him."

Rey: "Why did he leave?"

Han Solo: "He was training a new generation of Jedi. There was nobody else left to do it, so he took the burden on himself. Everything was going great, until...one boy, an apprentice, turned against him and destroyed it all. Luke felt responsible. He walked away from everything."

Rey: "Do you know what happened to him?"

Han Solo: "There were a lot of rumors. Stories. People who knew him best, think he went looking for the first Jedi temple."

Rey: "(in awe) The Jedi were real?"

Han Solo: "I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil, the Dark Side and the light. Crazy thing is...it's true. The Force, the Jedi. All of it. It's all true."

Han Solo: "BEN!"

Kylo Ren: "Han Solo. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Han: "[slowly walking towards Kylo] Take off that mask. You don't need it."

Kylo: "What do you think you'll see if I do?"

Han: "The face of my son."

Kylo: "[removes his mask] Your son is gone. He was weak and foolish like his father, so I destroyed him."

Han: "That's what Snoke wants you to believe, but it's not true. My son is alive."

Kylo: "No. The Supreme Leader is wise."

Han: "Snoke is using you for your power. When he gets what he wants, he'll crush you. You know it's true."

Kylo: "It's too late."

Han: "No, it's not. Leave here with me. Come home. We miss you."

Kylo: "(gradually pained) I'm being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain. I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it. Will you help me?"

Han: "Yes. Anything. [Kylo drops his mask, and offers his lightsaber to Han. As Han grabs it, the last rays of sunlight are absorbed into the Starkiller Base's weapon, and Ren hesitates. After a brief moment, however, Ren ignites his saber through Han's chest, and Chewbacca roars in despair]"

Rey: "NO!"

Kylo: "[to a distraught Han] Thank you. [Han touches his son's face, then succumbs to his wound and his body tumbles off the walkway down the reactor shaft]"
