Number Twelve quotes from The Prisoner

Number Twelve

The trouble with science is that it can be perverted.

Number Twelve

You know what, why don't we settle this like gentlemen?

Number Six

You're claiming to be a gentleman too?

Number Twelve

Oh very good, very good indeed. That line is very worthy of me.

Number Twelve

What the devil...?

Number Twelve

[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?

Number Six

[not amused] Since you've gone through so much trouble, the least I can do is... offer you a drink.

Number Twelve

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?"

Number Six

Probably. I have no idea.

Number Twelve

You don't believe it. A university-level degree in three minutes.

Number Six

It's improbable.

Number Twelve

But not impossible.

Number Six

Nothing's impossible in this place.

Number Twelve

You'll find the Professor most interesting.

Number Six

Would I?

Number Twelve

With an extraordinary range of knowledge.

Number Six

The only subject I'm interested in is getting away from this place.

Number Twelve

Exactly.

Number Six

Who are you?

Number Twelve

A cog in the machine.

Number Twelve

Number Two offered you a deal. Don't you trust him?

Number Six

I don't trust Number Two. I don't trust you. I don't trust your tame Professor.

Number Twelve

Who do you trust, Number Six?

Number Six

I trust me.

Number Twelve

Join the club.
