“No.113; So No.8, you were hypnotised.”
“No.8: Don't be ridiculous!”
“Hypnotised into thinking you were in love with Number Six, and he with you.”
“You're crazy!”
“Yes, that's what No.6 said! And you have helped others to escape the Village?”
“Well everyone tries to escape when their spirit's broken.”
“But none of then ever succeeded!”
“It was their plans.”
“Plans?”
“They weren't good enough.”
“Not with you helping obviously!”
“What are you insinuating?”
“That Number Six wasn't the first you have betrayed.”
“I haven't betrayed anyone!”
“No of course you didn't, after all you were hypnotised at the time.”
“Look I think you had better go.”
“Yes, I think we better had.”
“No.113b: You're an idiot.”
“No.113: Why?”
“She could have helped us escape.”
“Haven't you been listening? No.8 betrayed all those she tried to help escape, that's why none of them ever succeeded!”
“Not so attractive has her predecessor either, this new No.8.”
“But they have something else in common.”
“What's that?”
“They both betrayed Number Six.”
“True. Coffee?”
“Yes, and it's your turn to pay.”
