Patrick McGoohan credited as playing...
Number Six
- Number 6: Elections? In this place?
- Number Two: Of course. We make our choice every 12 months. Every citizen has a choice. Are you going to run?
- Number 6: Like blazes, the first chance I get.
- Number Two: I meant run for office.
- Number Two: Good people, it is my pleasure to present to you the one and only Number Six!
- Crowd: Rah!
- Number 6: I am not a number. I am a person.
- Crowd: [laughs]
- Number 6: In some place, at some time, all of you held positions of a secret nature, and had knowledge that was invaluable to an enemy. Like me, you are here to have that knowledge protected or extracted.
- Number Two: That's the stuff to give them.
- Number 6: Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment and will die here like rotten cabbages.
- Number Two: Keep going. They love it.
- Number 6: The rest of you have gone over to the side of our keepers. Which is which? How many of each? Who's standing beside you now? I intend to discover who are the prisoners and who are the warders. I shall be running for office in this election.

- Number Two: Of the Village?
- Number 6: Yeah.
- Number Two: To Hell with the Village. Cheers.
- Number 6: Cheers.
- Number Two: [on Number Six's phone and TV screen] Do you fancy a chat?
- Number 6: The mountain can come to Mahomet!
- [his front door opens to reveal Number Two]
- Number Two: Mahomet?
- Number 6: Everest, I presume.
- Number Two: I've never had a head for heights.
- Number 6: They say, "Six of one and half a dozen of the other." Not here. It's Six for Two and Two for nothing, and Six for free for all for free for all! Vote! Vote!
