The trouble with science is that it can be perverted.

You know what, why don't we settle this like gentlemen?
You're claiming to be a gentleman too?
Oh very good, very good indeed. That line is very worthy of me.
What the devil...?
[Number Six approaches Number Twelve; they look exactly alike]
[chuckles] Oh, very good. Very good indeed. One of Number Two's little ideas, I suppose? Where did they get you? A people's copying service, or you're one of those double agents we hear so much about these days?
[not amused] Since you've gone through so much trouble, the least I can do is... offer you a drink.
Scotch. [they enter the lounge] I take it I'm supposed to go all fuzzy round the edges and run off into the distance screaming "Who am I?"
Probably. I have no idea.
By the time we finish with him, he won't know whether he's Number Six or the cube root of infinity.
[to Alison; about Number Twelve] I am the original, he is the economy pack.
You don't believe it. A university-level degree in three minutes.
It's improbable.
But not impossible.
Nothing's impossible in this place.
You'll find the Professor most interesting.
Would I?
With an extraordinary range of knowledge.
The only subject I'm interested in is getting away from this place.
Exactly.
Who are you?
A cog in the machine.
Allow me to introduce .. The General. All the professor's own work; he gave birth to it and loves it with a passionate love, probably hates it even more. That mass of circuits, my dear fellow, is as revolutionary as nuclear fission. No more wastage in schools: there's no more tedious learning by rote. A brilliantly devised course, delivered by a leading teacher, subliminally learned, checked, and corrected by an infallible authority. And what have we got?
A row of cabbages!
Indeed - knowledgeable cabbages.
[after Number Six stumped the machine, causing it to self destruct] What was the question?
It's insoluble, to man or machine.
What was it?
W - H - Y - Question mark.
"Why?"
"Why?"
Number Two offered you a deal. Don't you trust him?
I don't trust Number Two. I don't trust you. I don't trust your tame Professor.
Who do you trust, Number Six?
I trust me.
Join the club.
You must think I'm crazy.
Who isn't these days?
You're a stubborn fellow, Number Six.
James, you call me that once again and you're liable for a bout in hospital.
[to Number Six] You resign. You disappear. You return. You spin a yarn that Hans Christian Andersen would reject as a fairy tale.
And they're all... numbers? No names. No names at all?
Just numbers.
I see.
Numbers in a village that is a complete unit of our own society. A place to put people who can't be kept around. People who know too much or too little. A place with many means of breaking a man.
[about Number Six] Interesting fellow.
He's an old, old, old friend. Who never gives up.
