Yes I did forget. Thanks for the reminder.
Well I got something from…
From V for Vendetta, scene 7 “Symbolic Acts”
Evey: [waking up from sleep]
V: [Humming and cooking in the kitchen]
Evey: V?
V: Good Morning Mademoiselle.
Evey: I just wanted to apologize for my reaction last night?
V: Hm.
Evey: I understand what you did for me, and I want you to know I’m grateful.
Your hands.
V: Yes.
[Humming]
There, that’s better.
I hope I didn’t put you off your appetite
Evey: No please. It’s just–Are you all right?
V: Yes, yes, yes, I’m fine.
Evey: Can I ask what happen?
V: There was a fire. A long time ago. Ancient history, for some.
Not very good table conversation.
Now, would you care for a cup of tea with your egg?
Evey: Yes, thank you. I’m starving, actually.
V: Have a seat.
Evey: [eats] Mmm… It’s delicious.
V: Hm. Good.
Evey: God, I haven’t had real butter since I was a little girl. Where did you get it?
V:A government supply train on its way to Chancellor Sutler.
Evey: [clears throat] You stole this from Chancellor Sutler.
V: Yes.
Evey: You are insane?
V: “I dare do all that may become a man. Who dares more is none.â€Â
Evey: Macbeth.
V: Very good.
Evey: My mum, she used to read all his plays to me and ever since, I’ve always wanted to act. Be in plays, movies. When I was 9, I played Viola in Twelfth Night. Mum was very proud.
V: Where is your mother now?
Evey: She’s dead.
V: I’m sorry.
Evey: Can I ask about what you said on the telly?
V: Yes.
Evey: Did you mean it?
V: Every word.
Evey: You really think blowing up Parliament’s going to make this country a better place?
V: There’s no certainty, only opportunity.
Evey: Well I think you can be pretty certain that if anyone does show up Creedy’ll black-bag every one of them.
V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Evey: And you’ll make that happen by blowing up a building?
V: The building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people blowing up a building can change the world.
Evey: I wish I believed that was possible. But every time I’ve seen this world change, it’s always been for the worse.
