Number Six and New Number Two in “Unfinished Business”

Number Six

Get him!

I have taken his place. I am the new Number Two.

Number Six

Get Number One!

As far as you're concerned, I'm in charge. What can I do for you?

Number Six

Cobb.

What we do here has to be done. It's the law of survival; it's either them or us.

Number Six

You imprison people? Steal their minds? Destroy them?

Depends on whose side you're on, doesn't it?

Number Six

I'm on our side.

But we have to find out where your sympathies lie.

Number Six

You know where they lie!

[reading from Number Six's file] "Subject shows great enthusiasm for his work. He is utterly devoted and loyal." Is this a man that suddenly walks out?

Number Six

And I didn't walk out... I resigned!

People change, exactly. So do loyalties.

Number Six

Not mine.

All very commendable. But let's be practical; I'm interested in facts. Your only chance to get out of here is to give them to me. And if you don't give them, I'll take them. It's up to you. Think about it.

Good day, Number Six.

Number Six

Number what?

Six. For official purposes, everyone has a number. Yours is number six.

Number Six

I am not a number. I am a person.

Six of one, half a dozen of another. Good day!
