How did you manage

to get hold of all this?

There's nothing

those bastards don't have.

- Aren't you pleased?

- Yes. Yes, of course.

Real tea.

There's been a lot of tea about lately.

They've captured India, or something.

- I want you.

- I want you, too.

Wait.

Turn around and don't look until I tell you.

Listen to that.

How can she make a song

written by machines sound so beautiful?

You can turn round now.

- I...

- Winston...

Do you like me?

More than ever.

Was there eyer a time

when this seemed ordinary?

Attentionl Your attention, please.

A yast military build-up

has been reported in the Sahara desert,

sectors 17 and 18 of the war zone.

14 heayy tank diyisions...

There's truth

and there is untruth.

Freedom is the freedom to say

two plus two equals four.

If that is granted, all else follows.

Re Times 31 I10l81...

Brother Tillotson wins mini chess.

Request photo. Biog follows.

Attentionl

Your attention, please.

Will all Outer Party members

of Ways And Means committees

please attend their local community

centres for discussions...

Under the spreading

chestnut tree, I sold you, you sold me.

Smith.

I have been reading

your Newspeak articles in The Times.

- Yes.

- You write very elegantly.

That is not my own opinion. I was talking

to a friend of yours who is an expert.

His name has slipped my memory

for a moment.

What I wanted to say was that there were

one or two unwords. Only very recent.

Have you seen the tenth edition

of the Newspeak dictionary?

No, we are still using

the ninth edition at Minrec.

A few advance copies have been

circulated. I have one myself.

- You might be interested.

- Yes.

There are plus-skilful new developments.

Let me give you my address.

I'm usually at home in the evenings.

If not, my servant

will give you the dictionary.

14,000 Victory Vampires,

4,600 Ingsoc sea cadets,

12,300 Porteous piloted missiles,

31,000 Victory fighter bombers,

It has happened at last.

The call has come.

It seems that all my life

I haye been waiting for it.

...named after Sublieutenant

Ogilyy, hero of the state of Oceania,

recently awarded posthumously

the Order of Conspicuous Gallantry

for his actions in the recent glorious

yictory oyer the forces of Eastasia

on the Malabar front in south India.

Half the water's boiled away.

What does the clock say?

It says 21.00 hours.

What time do they cut the light

in your flats?

- 23.30.

- At the hostel it's 23.00.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

A little chunk of history

that they've forgotten to alter.

A message from a hundred years ago.

Oranges and lemons

say the bells of St Clement's.

You owe me three farthings

say the bells of St Martin's.

Who taught you that? What is it?

I don't know. I just know it.

You know, the only thing to do

is to walk out of here before it's too late.

Never see one another again.

Yes.

Our luck can't last.

You're young, look normal.

You're innocent.

If you keep clear of people like me

then you might stay alive.

What you do, I do.

I've thought it out.

I'm good at staying alive.

- When shall we meet again?

- Not for several weeks, it's not safe.

Give me half an hour.

I love you.

Julia.

Do you think the Resistance is real?

No, none of it's real.

Steamer! Dead overhead!

Get down! Get down!

Round the clock plus a 153 set

in eyes top a PMA Willmer...

Oceania is at war with Eastasia.

Oceania has always been

at war with Eastasia.

Eurasia is our ally.

Eurasia has always been our ally.

Eyerything fades into mist.

The past is erased, the erasure forgotten.

The lie becomes truth

and then becomes a lie again.

What is it?

I dreamt...

about my mother.

What, darling?

It was during the wars.

Before the Party.

Winston!

Winston!

I couldn't help myself.

I knew what I had done,

and I couldn't help myself.

When I went back, hours later,

my mother and sister were gone.

I neyer saw them again.

It's not so much staying alive

as staying human that's important.

What counts

is that we don't betray each other.

If you mean confessing,

we're bound to do that.

Everybody does. You can't help it.

I don't mean confessing.

Confessing isn't betrayal.

I mean feelings.

If they can make me change my feelings,

they can stop me from loving you.

That would be real betrayal.

They can't do that.

It's the one thing they can't do.

They can torture you

and make you say anything.

But they can't make you believe it.

They can't get inside you.

They can't get to your heart.

I'm going to see O'Brien.

I know.

That concludes the list

of known agents of Goldstein

actiyely engaged

in the latest conspiracy...

Not much of this gets to the Outer Party,

I'm afraid. To our leader.

Our eternal allies in Eurasia

are turning against us.

More nests of conspirators and saboteurs

haye been uncoyered.

Further arrests are expected shortly.

- You can?

- Yes.

We're allowed that privilege.

Some more of this? It is called wine.

There are thought criminals who maintain

that the Resistance is not real.

Believe me, Winston, it is very real.

Perhaps you are not familiar

with how it operates.

I'm attentive to the news.

Indeed.

Perhaps you imagine

a huge network of conspirators

prepared to commit any atrocity

to demoralise and weaken our society.

The reality is infinitely more subtle.

If Goldstein himself

fell into the hands of the Thought Police,

he could not give them

a list of his agents.

Such a list does not exist.

They are not an organisation

in the sense we know.

Nothing holds it together but an idea.

There is no possibility of change

in their lifetime.

In the face of the Thought Police,

they cannot act collectively.

Individually, they cheat, forge, blackmail,

corrupt children,

spread disease and prostitution,

in the name of spreading knowledge

from generation to generation

until in a thousand years...

You may find this of interest.

Thank you.

...a rally in Victory Square

at 21.30 hours.

That is the end of the announcement.

- Goodbye, brother.

- Goodbye, brother.

They haye attacked an unarmed yillage

with rocket bombs

and murdered 4,000 defenceless,

innocent and peaceful citizens of Oceania.
