ah. well, i don't know if we've got any of those around here, then -- i mean, some people've died two, three times a week. and then there are the ones who come in dead, you know ... are you? *smiles helpfully* dead, that is.
...Not dead. Just lost. Have you had the telescreens shut off around here? I need decent hiding areas. *looks down at his 'VICTORY GIN' flask* ...Not to mention decent gin.
*oddlook'd, yay!* plenty of gin, i should think .... and i haven't seen any telescreens, but then, i don't know what a telescreen is, so it could go, either way, couldn't it? perhaps you ought to ask that one god ... for gin, i mean, but i imagine he'd know about the telescreens, too -- he is a god, i suppose.
did i? *puzzled look* i've forgot. oh, well -- if i did say, i'd probably've said it was rosencrantz, wouldn't i have? i might have said guildenstern, but that would've been wrong -- i think. perhaps. probably. *pause* ... did you say who you were, again?
*cold glare* I didn't. I'm with Goldstein. I'm with The Brotherhood. Names aren't important at the moment. I just need to make sure that I'm as far away from Big Brother as possible.
well, if names aren't important, you oughtn't have asked, then, ought you have? ... like a ginger snap? *offers, brightly -- apparently his new hobby is confusing orwellians*
*dumbly* whose big brother?

If there is hope, it lies in the proles.
