Quotes6

  • 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 6: You don't approve.
  • 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 Two: Certainly, I'll warn them, not to damage the tissue.
  • Number Two: I warned you not to make it too strong, we musn't damage the tissue.
