# We are the children

Builders of the future

# And we the children swear to thee

# Loyal emotion, fearless devotion

# And to die with dignity

A daring and resourceful

manoeuyre under the direction of BB

ensuring the total annihilation of

the Eurasian heayy- armoured diyision...

Look.

It's a dream.

I want you.

Not here.

Come back to the woods. It's safer.

- Have you done this before?

- Of course.

Hundreds of times.

- With Party members?

- Yes.

- Inner Party members?

- Not with those bastards.

Though there's plenty who would.

I hate purity. I hate goodness.

I don't want virtue to exist anywhere.

- I want everyone corrupt.

- I ought to suit you, then.

- I'm corrupt to the core.

- Do you like doing this?

I don't mean just me.

I adore it.

Winston, we shall meet

in the place where there is no darkness.

Adult literacy amongst

the proletariat has risen by 56 per cent.

The proletarian infant mortality rate

has dropped by 12 per cent.

Incidences of leukaemia, tuberculosis and

meningitis haye dropped considerably.

Improyed diet has been responsible

for a dramatic decrease in rickets.

Eye diseases show a steep drop.

So too do deaths

from pneumonia and smallpox.

The improyement in sewerage and

drainage has resulted in better health.

State rodent operatiyes report a 50 per

cent reduction in the number of yermin

in the central proletarian zones.

I just want to finish by saying a few words

about the impact of this

imminent neurological breakthrough.

When the orgasm

has been finally eradicated,

the last remaining obstacle

to the psychological acceptance

of the principles of Ingsoc

as applied to Artsem will be overcome.

In other words, the unorthodox tendencies

towards ownlife,

which threaten

the natural erosion of the family unit,

will no longer have

the biological support of the organism.

As we all know,

the stimulation of the family

leads to private reflection

outside Party needs

and to the establishment of unorthodox

loyalties which only lead to thoughtcrime.

But the introduction of Artsem, combined

with the neutralisation of the orgasm,

will effectively render obsolete the family

until it is impossible to conceptualise.

Thank you.

Excuse me, brother.

You dropped your ink pencil.

Thank you, sister.

A pincer

moyement has deyeloped

inyolying the floating fortresses

of the Eurasian 17 th fleet,...

Hmm!

- Not much.

- No.

Not much left at all these days.

The wars.

Police don't like us much.

That room. How much?

Four dollars a week.

Traitor! Traitor!

Traitor! Criminal!

No! Criminal! No! No!

A yast military build-up

of armoured diyisions and missiles

Nigel Kneale

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…
