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.
l'm attentive to the news
Indeed
Then perhaps you imagine a huge network of conspirators
prepared to commit any atrocity to demoralize and weaken
the order of our society
The reality is infinitely more subtle
If Goldstein himself fell into the hands ofthe Thought Police
he could not give them a list of his agents.
Such a list does not exist
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.

[Smith] ’7n accordance to the pnnc/ples of doubleth/nk,
it does not matter if the war is not reaf
or when it is, that victory is not possible
The war is not meant to be won.
/tis meant to be continuous
The essential act of modern wa/fare
is the destruction of the produce of human labor
In principle, the war effort is always planned
to keep society on the brink of starvation
The war is waged by the ru//ng group against its own subjects.
And its object is not victory o ver Eurasia or Eastasia. ..
but to keep the very structure of society intact.

[female voice] 5-0-7-9 Smith.
Open your eyes
[dooropens]
[locks rattling]
l38l`SOfiS
Keep away from me, Smith
l'm an agent of Goldstein
I didn't know it myself
Thoughtcrime is... so insidious
sobs
My daughter found it out
Very proud of her
Very grateful l've been discovered before it's too late.
They won't shoot me, will they, Smith? [voice breaking]
I know I could be very useful in a labor camp.
[female voice] Room 707
[dooropens]
Please
Why?
[stammers] There's nothing I won't confess.
Nothing
What is it you want me to know?
Take him instead of me
He's the thought criminal
sobs
[door closes]
[dooropens]
[footsteps approaching]
They got you too
They got me a long time ago
You knew this would happen, Winston Don't deceive yourself.
You've always known it
Ooh
The photos of you and the girl will be recycled for Proletarian use
cnes
Do you know where you are, Winston?
I can guess
In the Ministry of Love
Do you know how long you've been here?
VVeeks?
Months?
Do you know why you're here?
Shall I tell you why we've brought you here?
To cure you
To make you sane
Yes
[cranking]
[Smith grunting, screaming]
Ah, don't. Don't!
O
That was 40
You can see that the numbers on this dial run up to 100.
Will you please remember that during our conversation,
I have it in my power to inflict pain on you at any time
and in whatever degree I choose
Yes
You know perfectly well what is the matter with you, Winston
You've known it for years, though you've fought against the knowledge
You are mentally deranged
You suffer from a defective memory
You never tried to cure yourself of it because you did not choose to.
It was a small effort of will, which you were not ready to make
For example
which power is Oceania at war with?
tQUlp3]
Oceania is at war with Eastasia
Eastasia
Good
And Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, has it not?
Tell me what you think you remember
I remember
that until only a week before I was arrested..
we weren't at war with Eastasia at all
It was Eurasia
That lasted four years, I think
Another example
A serious delusion
Photographs about which you've had hallucinations,
which you believed you held in your hand
They never existed
Say what you're about to say, Winston
They exist
in memory
I remember
I do not remember
Only the disciplined mind can see reality, Winston.
It needs an act of self-destruction
an effort of the will
Do you remember writing in your diary
Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two equals four"?
Yes
How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?
And if the Party says there are not four, but five
Five
[cranking] [screams]
[Smith gasping]
How many fingers, please?
[QGSPIHQI
[softly] Four
Four. What else could I say?
Five, or anything you like only please stop it.
Stop the pain
[Smith groans]
How can I help it?
How... How can I help what I see in front of my eyes?
Two and two makes four
Sometimes, Winston
Sometimes they are five, sometimes they are three
Sometimes they are all of them at once
[Smith sniffles]
[sighs]
Neither the past, nor the present nor the future,
exists in its own right, Winston
Reality is in the human mind
Not in the individual mind
which makes mistakes and soon perishes
but in the mind ofthe Party
which is collective
and immortal
Again -No.
[cranking]
[groans]
How many fingers, Winston?
Four
Four. I suppose there are four
l'm trying to see five
I wish I could
Which do you wish?
To persuade me that you can see five
or really to see them?
Again
[cranking]
[Smith screaming]
[groaning]
[98SPS]
How many, Winston?
[gaSPln9l
[98SPS]
I... I don't know
I don't know
Better
[cranking]
[man vocalizing]
[O'Brien] No one escapes, I/Wnston.
There are no martyrs here
All the confessions made here are true
We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us.
As long as he resists us we never destroy him.
We make him one of ourselves before we kill him.
We make his brain perfect before we blow it out.
And then
when there is nothing left but sorrow and love of Big Brother
We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere
Not a name in a register
Not a memory in a living brain
You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future.
3,000
What?
Huh? Hey
This time it won't hurt you
Now before we bring this session to an end.
I want you to ask me your questions
Julia
She betrayed you, Winston
Immediately, unreser\/edly
All her rebellion, deceit folly, dirty-mindedness,
has been turned out of her
DOGS
Does Big Brother exist?
Of course
In the same way as me?
You do not exist
You've not asked me the question that is uppermost in your mind, Winston
You know what is in Room 101
Everyone knows what's in Room 101
Now
[electrical humming]
[O'Brien] What country is Oceania at war with?
[Smith] |
I don't remember
[O'Brien] Oceania is at war with Eastasia
Five
You see, at least, that it is possible
You've understood the reality of the past
and of the present, Winston
Now, what of the future?
A question
How does one man assert power over another?
Exactly
Obedience is not enough
Power is tearing human minds apart
and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing
Power is not a means. It is an end
In our world, there will only be triumph and self-abasement.
Everything else, we shall destroy
The past is forbidden. Why?
Because when we can cut man from his own past,
then we can cut him from his family his children, other men.
There is no loyalty except loyalty to the Party
There is no love except love of Big Brother
All competing pleasures
we will destroy
imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.
you are thinking that my face is old and tired
that while I talk of power
And the weariness of the cell is the vigor of the organism.
YOu'll fail
Why?
lt's impossible
Hatred and fear have no life
Why is hate less vital than love?
I don't know
But somehow, you will fail
Something will defeat you
We control life at all levels
We create human nature
Men are infinitely malleable
Or perhaps you've returned to your old idea that the Proletarians will arise
Put it out of your mind
Humanity is the Party
I don't care
[gasps] In the end, they'll beat you
Sooner or later, they'll tear you to pieces
On what evidence?
Goldstein's book
I wrote it
Or at least I collaborated in writing it
No book is individually produced as you know.
I just believe it
I know you'll fail
some spirit you will never overcome
What is it, this principle?
I don't know
The spirit of man
And do you consider yourself a man?
Yes
If you are a man, you're the last man
Your kind is extinct
We are the inheritors
You are outside history
You unexist
Get up
[Smith gasps]
Look at you
You're rotting away
[groans]
That is the last man
If you are human, that is humanity
It will not last forever
Everything depends on you
YOu did it
You reduced me to this
No, Winston
You reduced yourself to it
When will you shoot me?
It might take a long time
But don't give up hope
Everyone is cured sooner or later
And in the end
we shall shoot you
The law of gravity is nonsense
No such law exists
lf I think I float
and you think I float
then it happens
I love you
You have the strength, Winston You have the whole Party.
You are the Party
You're one of us, one of the chosen
I love you
[gunshoU
Julia
Julia, my love
Julia
Julia!
Get up
Stand up stra/ghter
Look me in the face
Tell me, Winston
And remember, no lies
What are your true feelings towards Big Brother?
I hate him
You must love him
lt's not enough to obey him
You must love him
Room 101
You asked me once, Winston what was in Room 101.
I told you that you knew already
Everyone knows
is the worst thing in the world
It goes beyond fear of pain or death
It may be burial alive or castration
In your case, it is rats
[rats squealing]
Please. What do you want me to do?
You will do what is required of you
What? What is it?
How can I do it if I don't know what it is?
In the Proletarian areas they will attack a baby,
and within five minutes strip it to the bone.
They also attack the sick and dying
They show astonishing intelligence in knowing when a human being is helpless
[Smith] Please
Please
[O'Brien] The mask its over your head lea V/fig no exit.
l press the irst le ver;
and the rats move into the front compartment
I press the second, and the door of the cage will slide up
These star\/ing brutes will shoot at you like bullets
They will leap onto your face and bore straight into it.
Sometimes they attack the eyes first
Sometimes they burrow through the cheeks and devour the tongue.
Tell me
What do you... What do you want?
What do you want?
No. No, please
No! [screams]
I love you
Don't. Do it to her!
Do it to Julia!
I don't care what you do to her but do it to her!
Tear her face off, but do it to Julia, not to me!
Do it to Julia!
Not me./
[female announcer] A vast m/iitary buildup has been reported in the Sahara Desert
in sectors 77 and 78 of the war zones
That is the end of the announcement.
[swallows]
Brother
On the house
Thank you for coming
for an important announcement at 7 5'30.
This is news of the gra vest national consequence
concern/ng the war with Eurasia
7 5130.
l'm very worried about the African Front
The news is disquieting in the extreme
l've been worrying about it all day
lt's not just a question of losing Africa
For the first time
the territory of Oceania itself is threatened by invasion.
lt's inconceivable
It must have been possible to outflank them in some way
I have an instinct
There's bad news on the way
I told them all about you
l'm only thankful they got me before it was too late.
Yes, I told them about you too
sexcrime, all your treachery
I have a meeting to go to
We must meet again
Yes
We must meet again
[footsteps departing]
/accuse myself of the follo wing cr/mes
l ha ve seduced Party members of both sexes.
l've been to the Proletarian areas

to my wife and other Party members
Together with other agents,
l ha ve counterfeited banknotes,
wrecked industrial machinery
polluted the water suppy
and guided Eurasian rocket bombs to targets on Airstnp One
by means of coded radio signals
/stand here, a victim of the influence of Emmanuel Goldstein.
gu//ty on all counts
/rn glad/ was caught. l was mentalhf deranged
Now l am cured
l ask 000/ for you to accept my lo ve of our leader
/ask 000/ to be shot wh/le my mind is still clean.
[fanfare]
[female announcer] A glorious victory/
A vast strategic maneuver to outflank
the Eurasian forces on the Amcan Front has been successful
Pe/fectw coordinated
it has resulted in the utter rout of the Eurasian Army
There ha ve been nearhf a million prisoners
/thas been an utter rout. A complete
Waiter?
This immense victory bnngs the war with/n measurable distance of its end
Wonderful news
[soldiers shouting on screen]
[Smith] /lo ve you.
