60 Second Interview With No.2

No.113 "There is a certain 'elfin' look about you, wouldn't you agree?"
No.2 "Do you think so. I hadn't really thought about it."
"It might have something to do with where you were born, in the Fiji Islands in 1915."
"You're very well informed."
No.113b "Smiles" {click goes the camera}
"You are very protective towards No.6."
"I wasn't the first. Besides he has a future with us."
"You still see that?"
"Don't you?"
"Why the Peter Pan costume?"
"Better that than Jack the Ripper, or Father Time!"
"A little boy who never grew up, a strange choice for a female I should have thought."
"Are you questioning my sexuality?"
"I would never do that No.2."
"Just as well."
"But Dance of the Dead is very female orientated wouldn't you say?"
"Yes, yes I would. And what you mean is that I'm not very feminine."
"Well now that you have said it."
"Perhaps that is because I'm not old chap! I think they had originally been expecting a man to take up the next term of office."
"You were very efficient, but not very democratic."
"Even at best free democracies can be remarkably inefficient. But surely you wouldn't expect democracy here?"
"No, no I wouldn't No.2.You put No.6 on trial."
"For a breach of the rules."
"For the possession of a radio."
"It's the rules."
"Do you think I could see..... these rules?"
"They are the unwritten laws."
"Of this community?"
"That society is governed by. Now if you don't mind, I'm terribly busy.......... It's Carnival!"
