We shall be rid of Goldsteinism

when the language has been cleaned.

I couldn't be more in agreement

with you, brother. Absolutely.

Praise be to our leader

and the Party workers.

Other munitions production figures

are as follows.

70,000 M-20 tank destroyers

with 76 mm cannon,...

Smith. Syme.

It's encouraging that by 2050

not a single person

could have a conversation like this.

- Except the proles.

- Proletariat don't count. They're animals.

Did you see the hanging?

Missed it myself.

Bloody committees!

...heayy Victory

rocket bombs.

35,000 Black Eagle

Doubleplus good, this.

Do you know, I don't think

there is a single piece of meat in this stew.

Looks like meat, tastes like meat.

It isn't meat at all.

Doubleplus good.

- Not like it, Smith?

- Yes. It's too rich for me.

D'you mind if I?

Brothers and sisters,

the battle for production has been won.

Completed returns show that the standard

of liying has risen by 20 per cent

oyer the last year.

All oyer Oceania, spontaneous

demonstrations of Party workers

haye been yoicing their gratitude and joy.

In honour of this massiye oyerfulfilment

of the ninth Three-Year Plan,

it has been announced that the chocolate

ration is to be increased to 25g per week.

If there is hope,

it lies in the proles.

If they were conscious of their strength,

they would haye no need to conspire.

History does not matter to them.

It was three years ago,

on a dark eyening,

easy to slip the patrols,

and I'd gone into the proletarian areas.

There was no one else in the street

and no telescreens.

Two dollars.

She said "Two dollars. "

So I went with her.

She had a young face, painted yery thick.

It was really the paint

that appealed to me -

the whiteness of it, like a mask,

and the bright red lips.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

There were no preliminaries.

Standing there with the scent

of dead insects and cheap perfume,

I went ahead and did it just the same.

Rutherford Unperson, substitute Ogilvy.

Ogilvy biog, details as follows.

War hero, recently killed Malabar front.

Today awarded posthumous

Order of Conspicuous Merit 2nd class.

I accuse myself of sabotage,

embezzlement of Party funds,

sale of military secrets, of being

in the pay of the goyernment of Eurasia,

of being a sexual pervert

and a thought criminal.

I exploited my position at the Ministry

of Peace to mislead our allies in Eastasia,

and also to corrupt youth by means

of seditious literature and drugs.

I am guilty on all counts. I stand here,

a yictim of the influence of Emmanuel...

Under the spreading

chestnut tree, I sold you, you sold me.

And I ask only for you to accept

my loye of our leader.

Can I help you?

Thomas Nigel Kneale (18 April 1922 – 29 October 2006) was a British screenwriter. He wrote professionally for more than 50 years, was a winner of the Somerset Maugham Award, and was twice nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay. In 2000, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. Predominantly a writer of thrillers that used science-fiction and horror elements, he was best known for the creation of the character Professor Bernard Quatermass. Quatermass was a heroic scientist who appeared in various television, film and radio productions written by Kneale for the BBC, Hammer Film Productions and Thames Television between 1953 and 1996. Kneale wrote original scripts and successfully adapted works by writers such as George Orwell, John Osborne, H. G. Wells and Susan Hill. He was most active in television, joining BBC Television in 1951; his final script was transmitted on ITV in 1997. Kneale wrote well-received television dramas such as The Year of the Sex Olympics (1968) and The Stone Tape (1972) in addition to the Quatermass serials. He has been described as "one of the most influential writers of the 20th century," and as "having invented popular TV." more…
