El código enigma. Graham Moore (1)

Algunas veces es la gente de la que nadie imagina nada, la que logra cosas que nadie podría haber imaginado.

V for Vendetta. Alan Moore, David Lloyd; Andy & Larry Wachowski

Right now, I imagine there are hundreds of soldiers rushing here to kill me because someone does not want us to talk.

They are afraid that I am going to say the things that are not supposed to be said.  They are afraid that I am going to say the truth.

The truth is that there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?  If you look about, you witness cruelty, injustice and despotism.  But what do you do about it?  What can you do?

You are but a single individual. How can you possible make any difference?  Individuals have no power in this modern world.  That is what you've been taught because that is what they need you to believe.  But it is not true.

This is why they are afraid and the reason that I am here; to remind you that it is individuals who always hold the power.  The real power.  Individuals like me.  And individuals like you.

EVEY: Oh god, why?                   

V: Because I love you, Evey. Because I wanted to set you free.

EVEY: Love? Set me free? Don't you realize? Don't you realize what you did to me? You nearly drove me mad! I hate you. I hate you! Set me free? You put me in a prison to set me free?!

V: You were already in a prison. You've been in a prison all your life.

EVEY: Shut up! I don't want to hear it. I wasn't in a prison. I was happy! I was happy here --

V: Happiness is the most insidious prison of all, Evey.

EVEY: That's warped! That's evil and it's wrong! What gives you the right to judge? Who are you to say what's not good enough?!

V: You were born in a prison, Evey. I didn't put you there. I just showed you the bars. You've been in a prison so long, you no longer believe there's an outside world.

EVEY: Shut up! You're mad! I don't want to hear it!

V: That's because you're afraid, Evey. You're afraid because you can feel freedom closing in on you. You're afraid because freedom is terrifying.

EVEY: I can't feel anything! There's nothing left to feel! Don't you understand?

V: Don't back away from it, Evey. Part of you understands the truth even as part pretends not to. Woman, this is the most important moment in your life. Don't run from it.

EVEY: I don't know what -- Oh god -- I can't breathe --

V: Good. You're almost there. Go closer. Feel the shape of it.

EVEY: What are you doing to me? I can't breathe --

V: You were in a cell. They offered you a choice between the death of your principles and the death of your body.

EVEY: I feel -- I feel like I'm going to burst.

V: You said you'd rather die. You faced the fear of your own death and you were calm. Try to feel now what you felt then.

EVEY: Oh god -- I felt -- Like an angel -- Oh god, V, I'm so scared. What's happening to me?

V: The door of the cage is open, Evey. All that you feel is the wind from outside. Don't be afraid.

Creedy: Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you die?

V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

EVEY: V?

V: Yes.

EVEY: V, what's going to happen?

V: Change, Evey. That's all. Just change.

EVEY: Is it going to be violent?

V: Yes, I suppose it will.

EVEY: But why? Why must is be violent?

V: Because, Evey, that is the nature of change. She is a temperamental creature that appears in earnest rarely but, when she does, she will wear one of two faces. The first face is the destroyer. It is lamentable but all true change begins with death.

EVEY: What is the other face, V?

V: The other face? She is the true face of change. The face of the creator. She is the one that remakes the world.

V: I told you, only truth. For 20 years, I sought only this day. Nothing else existed... until I saw you. Then everything changed. I fell in love with you Evey. And to think I no longer believed I could.

Evey: But I don't want you to die.

V: That's the most beautiful thing you could have ever given me.

But it was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish?  It sells for so little but it's all we have left in this place... It is the very last inch of us... But within that inch we are free.

...

It is small and fragile and it's the only thing in the world that's worth having. We must never lose it or sell it or give it away.  We must never let them take it from us.
