Six quotes from The Prisoner (2009)

I will find a way to escape! Hear me?! I am not a number! I'm a free man!

There are people here. Good people. What they've lost. Funny, isn't it? Took me all this time to see how beautiful it is. What if... no. It has to be possible to do this the right way. Yeah, make a good Village. I think I could do it. I think we have to try. Whatever the cost.

Where is this place?

You're in the Village. Where else would you be?

I wish you wouldn't fight it.

Fight what?

Please. Let me help you.

I don't want your help, lady. I want to get the hell out of here.

Look, here's what's going to happen: I'm going to fetch you a cold drink, and then someone's going to take you home. You're a free man.

I'd like to speak to the American consulate, please.

Look. See how the sun makes it all glow? Kind of day that makes you glad to be alive.

Why are you keeping me here?

I see no locked doors.

They were after me.

Oh, sounds terribly ominous.

Why am I here? It has nothing to do with me, any of this. I've seen you before.

Really?

I want to get back to New York.

That's not possible. There is no New York. There is only the Village.

[pointing to areas on the map] You are here. That's the Palais Two — Wow being the appropriate word. Right there's the Clinic—

Where's the road out of here?

Oh, you crack me up, Six!

You've not seen me before.

No, sir. You I would remember.

Perhaps therapy might work, yes? What do you say, Six? Give the talking cure a try.

Oh, you would like that, wouldn't you. Meddling with my mind.

What are you afraid of, Six? A glimpse into your psyche, discovering you were the problem after all?

I'm not afraid.

Good. The sessions are booked. A man with nothing to hide is a man with nothing to find.

Something happened... in you. A memory. Your fishing trip, perhaps?

Your brother?

Do you think it would help me to tell you?

I know it would.

(fast) 765 is in love with 23-30. 23-56 is pregnant to 46-5. Now, 913 had an affair with 23-30, so 765 is jealous of 23-30--

He's running rings around us!

(comes face-to-face with 70) I see your fear, 70. I've been watching you. You're a prisoner, here, just like me. But you don't want to know. Well, I refuse to become you.

(on a gurney, in a straight jacket) He swam in the ocean! He tasted the salt water in his mouth. Felt the power of the waves. There is a way out of this place, no matter how loud you shout that there isn't!

You're the one who is shouting, Six. The louder a man shouts, the more profoundly he's wrong.

I'm not wrong. I'm telling you the truth. My brother is dead.

Can you hear the things he says about his brother... it hurts. Yes, only family can hurt us.

No. I didn't mean that. I didn't mean my brother.

Oh, Six.

I'm not a number. I am not a number. I am... I am...

Yes, Six?

My name is... Dammit. My name is... I am Six.

(nods to the two doctors, who pull the gurney towards the end of the hallway; looks to 11-12) He's Six.

I am Six!

(leaving) That's right.

I am Six! I am Six, you bastard! SIX!

Ah, thank you for coming, Six. 9-0-9 here is an undercover, one of our best. I thought you might've noticed that. I want you to work with 909, Six.

You think I'd work for you?

Oh, no, no, no, not for me. For them, for the people you would be watching. You pronounced so loudly your opposition to me, your disbelief of everything we stand for, they might trust you. We already have our suspects. And I know you want to make contact with Dreamers. I offer you the apparatus and expertise of our highly trained and well-financed undercover operations to do just that.

Why would you give me all that if it wasn't a trap?

Oh, my dear Six. It is a trap. You have such a high opinion of yourself, I wondered if you would be clever enough to turn this opportunity to your advantage. But still...

Everything you say is a trap. All right. Let's do it.

Who is Number One?

Ah, the oldest question in Village history. Go on, 1100. You tell him.

There is no Number One. There never has been, and there never will be. The concept of the Number Two is an act of humility. The title reminds us all that we are public servants. Even Number Two. No one is Number One.

I have a new mission for you.

Shouldn't we wait for 909 to get here?

He wasn't invited.

909's my new mission?

909 has made himself suspect. I have every faith in him as a conscientious undercover.

I know he's been spying on me.

Well, of course he has. But you've known that before, surely. It'd be a sorry state of affairs if he weren't.

Why has he become a suspect?

Something's changed. 909 is different. Don't tell me you haven't seen the fear in his eyes.

Fear's not guilt.

Yes it is. Fear is always guilt in disguise. I thought you were a man who understood human behavior. 909's fear must be investigated. Analyzed thoroughly.

What is it I'd be looking for?

Well, you'll know when you find it. Perhaps he's a Dreamer.

Why should I do it?

Because you need to keep up, Six. Give yourself a chance. He's watching you. Now you watch him. Do it, Six, because you want to. Because you must.

313. I didn't think you were coming.

Six. Okay, um... There are two kinds of viruses used in gene symmetry therapy. What it gave you, Six. It won't last.

313. I want you to be my friend.

Celebrate with me.

What? What is it? What's happening?

Did he just kiss her? Is that what happened here?

(to 313) You really are rather smitten, aren't you 313? What you will never know, of course, is whether your feelings are genuine, or... (walks away)

What if we said - what if we promised each other we would always come back to this? We'd never let it go.

Lucy. Lucy?

Where am I?

We're in the desert, Lucy.

What did you call me?

We've met before. I know the feeling. This might not make any sense. You're called Lucy. We met in a place called New York. We had one night together.

I am 4-15.

Who are you?

I am 4-15.

Who are you?

I am Lucy. (crying) I'm Lucy. I'm Lucy.

Why did you do that, the blindness?

Because they knew if I looked at you, you would know. They sent me here... I came here to love you.

No! I'm cured of you! You tell me why you're here!

Two brought me here to love you. Two brought me here to break your heart. I'm glad you're cured of me.
