And then you’d be next, because Steward would then give the box to someone who didn’t know you, and if he or she pressed it, you’d be the next to die.

Then i'd hit the button as fast as i could a take the money. Theres way too many people on earth to begin with and if i didn't know it was a test for mankind i wouldn't care if someone i didnt know died because it happens like every 7 secs or something anyways. In the time it took me to think about pressing the button more than 1 person would have died anyways.

That said, any discussions of whether to do it or not were superficial, with much of the focus instead on nosebleeds. @ LAO

Although the quality of the writing itself is debatable, it set the scene for a rather insightful moral dilemma, with both characters arguing their sides very strongly. I'm glad the movie didn't bother with any of that dumb thinking stuff and replaced it all with aliens.
