Retiring Number Two and Number Six in “Unfinished Business”

RNRetiring Number Two

Tomorrow, after I've handed over office, I'm to be assassinated..

For "assassinated," substitute "executed."

RNRetiring Number Two

Since it's arranged by my own people, you mean.

You don't mind?

RNRetiring Number Two

Of course I mind. It's just that... well, I never thought it would happen to me.

It never does--to anybody. But it can be prevented.

RNRetiring Number Two

Preventing is only postponing. You never understood us, Number Six. We never fail!
