The sides they read from:
  • Good evening, America, and welcome to the beginning of another successful Purge! In just a few moments, the annual twelve-hour period of suspended legal enforcement will officially commence. As always, citizens are reminded that all emergency services will remain unavailable until the conclusion of the event. Please ensure that your homes are secured, your families are accounted for, and all necessary preparations have been completed. For those choosing to participate this evening, remember that the Purge is an opportunity to exercise your constitutional freedoms without the usual restrictions of the law. For those choosing to remain indoors, we recommend staying away from windows, keeping exterior lights to a minimum, and avoiding unnecessary contact with strangers. The government would also like to remind citizens that tonight's events are entirely voluntary. No individual is required to participate, and no individual will be penalised for choosing not to do so. As we approach the commencement siren, we'd like to thank every American who continues to support this national tradition. Together, we can build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous tomorrow. Please remember: the Purge is your right. Your responsibility. Your choice. We wish you all a safe and successful evening. And remember, America... we'll see you on the other side.

  • HEY! GET BACK HERE! You think you can just walk away from me? No, no, you're going to listen to what I've got to say! I've had enough of your bullshit, and I'm not letting you get away with it again! TURN AROUND AND FACE ME!

  • VOICE A, casually: ‘You heading home already? It's barely started.’ VOICE B, dismissive: ‘Yeah, well, I've got better things to do than stand around out here all night.’ VOICE A, laughing: ‘Better things? On Purge night? Mate, this IS the better thing.’ VOICE C, from a distance: ‘HEY! GET AWAY FROM THAT HOUSE!’ VOICE B, suddenly alert: ‘What the hell was that?’ VOICE A, quieter: ‘Don't know. Don't care. Come on, let's go.’ VOICE C, louder and more aggressive: ‘I SAID GET OUT HERE! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!’ VOICE D, frightened and breathless: ‘Please, please, just let me in! They're right behind me! PLEASE!’ VOICE C, shouting: ‘OPEN THE DOOR!’ VOICE D, screaming: ‘NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!’ VOICE A, distant and uneasy: ‘...Come on. We're leaving. NOW.’
