Smith. Syme.

It's encouraging to think that by 2050...

not a single person will be able

to have a conversation like this.

Except the proles?

The proletariat don't count. They're animals.

See the hanging?

Missed it, myself.

Bloody committees.

Doubleplus good, this.

You know, I don't think

there's a single piece of meat in this stew.

Looks like meat. Tastes like meat.

It isn't meat at all.

Doubleplus good.

Yes, it's too rich for me.

Do you mind if I...

Brothers and sisters,

the battle for production has been won.

All over Oceania there've been spontaneous

demonstrations of Party workers...

voicing their gratitude and joy!

In honor of this massive overfulfillment

it's been announced that chocolate ration

is to be increased to 25 grams per week!

"If there is hope...

"it lies in the proles.

"If they could become conscious

of their own strength...

"they would have no need to conspire.

"History does not matter to them.

"It was three years ago...

"on a dark evening.

"Easy to slip the patrols.

"And I'd gone into the proletarian areas.

and no telescreens.

"She said, '$2. '

"So I went with her.

"She had a young face...

of dead insects and cheap perfume...

"I went ahead and did it, just the same. "

I accuse myself of sabotage...

embezzlement of Party funds...

sale of military secrets...

of being in the pay

of the Government of Eurasia...

of being a sexual pervert

and a thoughtcriminal.

I exploited my trusted 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 victim of the influence of...

I was here before.

Razor blades.

You sold me the notebook.

Yes.

Please look around.

What's this?

But there's not much in it.

Just a few things.

My woman's dead.

I'm just trying to sell the furniture.

It's a beautiful bed...

if you can get the bugs out of it.

Interested in old prints at all?

The frame's fixed to the wall,

but I daresay I could unscrew it.

How did this escape?

I know what it is.

It's the museum in the street

outside the Palace of Justice.

"'Oranges and lemons,'

say the bells of St. Clement's. "

What was that?

Something old.

War is peace!

Freedom is slavery!

Ignorance is strength!

A triumph of willpower over the orgasm.

At a rally of the Anti-Sex League

in Victory Square tonight...

held to celebrate a 50-percent decrease

in civil marriages...

over 10,000 Party women

-Are you hurt?

-It's nothing.

It's my arm.

I'll be all right in a second.

Brother, could you...

Are you all right?

It's nothing.

I only gave my wrist a bit of a bang.

Thank you, brother.

Who is she?

All I know is that she works

in the corner section...

probably on the proletarian

novel-writing machines.

Mrs. Parsons? A spanner?

Under the sink, beside you.

Thank you, brother.

I wouldn't have had to bother you,

but my husband's out late.

Committees.

You know what us Parsons are like.

You're a thoughtcriminal.

They haven't been out much.

Thank you, brother.

Attention! Your attention, please!

A newsflash has this moment arrived

from the Malabar Front.

The forces of Oceania in South India

have won a glorious victory.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

Do you have an ex-London permit?

Yes.

Can you get Sunday afternoon off?

Yes.

Take this.

It's quite precise. I rely on you to destroy it.

Are you sure you can come?

Yes.

On your own, brother?

No, I'm joining the Vic Mans

community hiking group.

I was held up on urgent Minrec business.

Sing to the bravest on the sturdy fortress

Sing to the soldiers on the battlefields

Sing to the airmen in the burning azure

Sing to the farmers' rising yields

We are the children, builders of the future

And we the children swear to thee

Loyal devotion, fearless devotion

And to die with dignity

Sing to the faithful...

A daring and resourceful maneuver...

under the personal direction

of B.B. himself...

ensuring the total annihilation of

the Eurasian heavy-armored divisions...

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.

Look, 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.

has risen by 56 percent.

The proletarian infant mortality rate

Incidences of leukemia, tuberculosis,

and meningitis have dropped considerably.

Improved diet has been responsible

for a dramatic decrease in rickets.

The improvement in

sewerage and drainage systems...

has resulted in better health, overall.

State rodent operatives

report a 50-percent reduction...

in the number of vermin

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 constantly threaten

the natural erosion of the family unit...
