- Female voice (medicine cabinet): If you feel you are not properly sedated, call 348-844 immediately. Failure to do so may result in prosecution for criminal drug evasion.
- OMM: Let us be thankful we have an occupation to fill. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy.
- Male voice (jetcar radio chatter): Hey, I think I ran over some--I think I ran over a Wookie back there on the expressway...
- Male voice: That accident over in Red Sector L destroyed another 63 personnel, giving them a total of 242 lost to our 195. Keep up the good work and prevent accidents. This shift is concluded.
- SRT: How shall the new environment be programmed? It all happened so slowly that most men failed to realize that anything had happened at all.
- [THX is approaching the city's exit]
- Chrome Robot: Please come back. You have nothing to be afraid of.
- Chrome Robot: Everything will be all right. You are in my hands. I am here to protect you. You have nowhere to go. You have nowhere to go.

- Chrome Robot #1: We have to go back. This is your last chance to return with us. You have nowhere to go. You cannot survive outside the city shell. We only want to help you. This is your last chance.
- Male voice (medicine cabinet): What's wrong?
- Man: I need something stronger.
- Male voice (medicine cabinet): Take four red capsules. In 10 minutes, take two more. Help is on the way.
- Male voice: T-H-X eleven-thirty-eight will be taken into custody at a minimal monetary expenditure. Total operation cost: six thousand credits under budget. Congratulations. Be efficient, be happy.
- OMM: My time... is yours. Go ahead.
- THX 1138: What's wrong with me? What am I to her, she to me? Nothing!
- OMM: Yes, fine.
- THX 1138: Just an ordinary roommate. I share rooms with her. Our relationship is normal. Conforming.
- OMM: Excellent!
- THX 1138: We share nothing... but space. What is she doing to me?
- OMM: Yes, I understand.
- SEN 5241: [kneeling in a studio before a large image of OMM] Things don't seem to make sense. Sometimes I see things get left out, and... they don't fit. People don't seem to see them. Or they don't know what to do. Sometimes I-- Sometimes a little-- a little adjustment--
- [laughs]
- SEN 5241: --can make all the difference. I wanna do the right thing. I wanna go back. I-I-I can s-- I can start again. I can... change. I can-- I can help. I just need a-- need to rest up for a little while.
- Monk: This is no place for prayer. If you want to speak to OMM, you must go to a unichapel. You know that.
- SEN 5241: Yes.
- Monk: What? Are you in any trouble?
- SEN 5241: No, I-I'm OK, I'm going now.
- Monk: What's your number and what's your prefix? I'm going to see this gets into your report.
- SEN 5241: [stammering] No, I'm leaving now.
- Monk: I'm sorry, I-I have to report all intruders. Uh, where's your identification badge?
- SEN 5241: I... lost it.
- Monk: You're in violation. I'm gonna have to report you to the authorities.
- Chrome Robot: [trying to unlock door to pursue THX] Can you hear me? Stay calm. Everything will be all right. The door seems to be jammed. Please check the lock on your side. Everything will be all right; we are here to help you. Stay calm. We are not going to harm you. Everything will be all right.
- Trial Prosecutor: He must be destroyed! We must not continue to consume these erotics. We must exterminate the source of sin. Economics must not dictate situations which are obviously religious.
- Trial Defender: Masses won. Defendant used, not destroyed. Case rest.
- SRT: Well, maybe you are right. Maybe there's something wrong with the computer. I don't know, it's a strange life. Cybernetics, genetics, lasers and all those things. I guess I'll never understand any of that stuff. Guess maybe holograms are not supposed to.
- Male voice (P.A. in hallway leading to garage]: ...in your zoned section for longer than three minutes. Jet acceleration will not be safe to persons in dispersal area. To avoid being singed by jet exhaust, please exit your vehicle on the right, and walk through the blue zone on the left.

- [repeated line]
- Robotic Voice-Over: Are you now, or have you ever been?
- SRT: [Meeting THX and SEN] Hello. Uh, where'd you guys come from?
- [THX and SEN don't speak]
- SRT: Oh well, it doesn't make any difference, I guess.
- [SRT notices SEN's food]
- SRT: Uh, is that food? I'm starving. Do you mind?
- THX 1138: How did you get here?
- SRT: I was lost.
- THX 1138: You're not lost now?
- SRT: [Eating with his mouth full] Uh-uh.
- SEN 5241: You know the way out?
- SRT: [Chewing] Um-hmm.
- [swallows]
- SRT: That's the way out.
- [He points in the direction from which THX and SEN have just come]
- SEN 5241: Well, that's the way we just came.
- SRT: Yeah, but maybe you were traveling around in circles, see, 'cause that's the way out.
- [SRT points behind them again]
- THX 1138: How do you know?
- SRT: [Pointing] Well, look. Look more closely. You see? Come on.
- [SRT walks in the direction he was pointing and the other two follow]
- SEN 5241: Oh, yeah.
- [laughs]
- THX 1138: What have you done to LUH? She was here.
- SEN 5241: We--had a long talk and--she agreed that it would be better for both of you to switch. She seemed to think that you weren't accurately mated with her in the first place. I'll never have another mate like O-N-A. You rate very high in sanitation. I've checked.
- THX 1138: I don't feel well.
- THX 1138: [Leaves abruptly]
- SEN 5241: We'll be happy!
- Male voice (medicine cabinet): [THX opens medicine cabinet and faints] What's wrong?--What's wrong?--What's wrong?--What's wrong?--What's wrong?--What's wrong?--What's wrong?--What's wrong?
- [LUH enters]
- LUH 3417: Never mind!
- [LUH slams shut the medicine chest]
- Male voice: We're picking up some illegal sexual activity.
- Female voice: What's wrong?
- Man on monitor: I just bought one of these yesterday and it doesn't fit my consumer, and the store doesn't have any of the other kind.
- [LUH presses a button]
- Male voice: For more enjoyment and greater efficiency, consumption is being standardized. We are sorry...
- Man on monitor: This is--
- [cut off]
- Female voice: A libido-leveler has been mislaid near the pulse-leveling gate. If you have accidentally...
- Hologram Newscaster: ...units of detuned escalatories have not, however, prevented virus and ordnance from invading our centers.
- [in crowded hallway]
- Male voice (P.A. in hallway): Keep causeways clean. Save time, save lives.
- Male voice: Remember, thrifty thinkers are always under budget.
- Male voice: Economics make it necessary to terminate any operation which exceeds five percent of its primary budget.
- [first lines]
- Male voice (medicine cabinet): What's wrong?
- THX 1138: Nothing--nothing, really. I just feel that I need something stronger.
- Male voice (medicine cabinet): If you have a problem, don't hesitate to ask for assistance.
- THX 1138: Yes, thank you; I'll be all right.
- Male voice (medicine cabinet): Call 3485...
- Female voice: Performance perfect is perfect performance.
- [THX is looking at a screen that says LUH has been "consumed" and her name has been reassigned to a bottled fetus]
- SRT: Well, either this thing has gone nuts, or that's your roommate.
- SEN 5241: [prison] I want an idea that is clear, simple and plain as the nose on your face!
- [another prisoner punches him in the nose]
