V for Vendetta

V: I can assure you, I mean you no harm. Evey: Who are you? V: Who? Who is but the form, following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask. Evey: Well, I can see that. V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. Evey: Oh, right. V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Evey: Are you like a crazy person? V: I am quite sure they will say so. But to whom may I ask am I speaking? Evey: I'm Evey. V: Evey? E-V — of course you are. Evey: What does that mean? V: It means I, like God, do not play with dice, and do not believe in coincidence. Are you hurt?

Sutler: Gentlemen, you have had four hours, you had better have results. Mr Creedy? Peter Creedy: The Bailey area is quarantined, and all significant witnesses have been detained. Sutler: Good. Mr Etheridge? Brian Etheridge: A recording device was found wired into the central emergency broadcast system. The DCD was Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Sutler: Add it to the blacklist. I never want to hear that music again. Etheridge: Yes, sir. We also doubled our random sweeps and are monitoring a lot of phone surveillance, indicating a high percentage of conversation concerned with the explosion. Sutler: Mr Dascombe, what are we doing about that? Roger Dascombe: We're calling it an "emergency demolition". We have spin coverage on the network and throughout the InterLink, and several experts have been lined up to testify against the Bailey's structural integrity. Sutler: I want Prothero to speak tonight on the dangers of these old buildings and how we must avoid clinging to the edifice of a dec

Patricia: You think people will buy this? Dascombe: Well, why not? This is the BTN. Our job is to report the news, not fabricate it. That's the government's job.

Finch: This looks serious. Her parents were political activists. They were detained when she was 12. Dominic: What happened to her? Finch: Juvenile reclamation project. For five years. We're going to need back-up, but keep it minimal. Dominic: You sure about that, sir? Finch: I just want a chance to talk to her before she disappears into one of Creedy's black bags.

News reporter: We're interrupting your regularly scheduled program to bring you this terrifying report of a terrorist takeover of Jordan Tower, which ended only moments ago. A psychotic terrorist, identified only as the letter V, attacked the control booth with high-powered explosives and other weapons, that he used against unarmed civilians in order to broadcast a message of hate. We've just received this footage of a daring police raid. Police officer: Stop!! Stop! Stay where you are or we'll shoot! Stay where you are!! News reporter: Now this is only an initial report. But at this time, it's believed that during this heroic raid, the terrorist was shot and killed. Girl with Spectacles: Bollox! News reporter: Again, from what we've been told by authorities, the danger is now over. The terrorist is dead.

Evey: What is this place? V: It's my home. I call it the Shadow Gallery. Evey: It's beautiful... where did you get all this stuff? V: Oh, here and there. Most of it from the vaults of the Ministry of Objectionable Materials. Evey: You stole them? V: Oh, heavens, no. Stealing implies ownership. You can't steal from the censor; I merely reclaimed them. Evey: God, if they ever find this place... V: I suspect if they do find this place, a few bits of art will be the least of my worries. Evey: You mean, after what you've done? God, what have I done? I Maced that detective. Why did I do that? V: You did what you thought was right. Evey: No. I shouldn't have done that. I must have been out of my mind. V: Is that what you really think, or what they would want you to think? Evey: I think I should go. V: May I ask where? Evey: Home. I have to go home. V: You said they were looking for you. If they know where you work, they certainly know where you live. Evey: I have friends. I could stay with th
