How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"You think I sent Newt to ya before the wake-up just for kicks? Freak, that's the Number One Rule, the only one you'll never be forgiven for breaking. Ain't nobody—nobody—allowed in the Maze except the Runners. Break that rule, and if you ain't killed by the Grievers, we'll kill you ourselves, you get me?" (7.24)
This line has huge importance later on, because Thomas does break that rule, to save Alby. And yet, no one kills him for it…
Quote #2
Alby's eyes narrowed; his mouth pulled into a tight grin that didn't look like it had anything to do with humor. "If anybody touches this girl," Alby said, "you're gonna spend the night sleepin' with the Grievers in the Maze. Banished, no questions." (9.11)
Alby seems to be pretty fond of banishment as a deterrent. He's equally fond of seeing things as right vs. wrong, black vs. white.
Quote #3
"The Slammer. It's our jail on the north side of the Homestead." Chuck pointed in that direction. "They threw him in it so fast, the Med-jacks had to patch him up in there." (13.38)
At least they have somewhere to contain those awaiting sentencing. Who knows where they'd go otherwise… oh right. They're trapped in the Glade surrounded by a deadly Maze… but throwing guys in there would be a sentencing in its own right.
