Number Six : Just supposing for argument's sake that I was planted here?
Number Two : By XO4.
Number Six : XO4? Very well, by XO4. What would have been your first duty as a loyal citizen? Not to interfere. But you did interfere. You have admitted it yourself. There is a word for that. Sabotage.
Number Two : No!
Number Six : Who are you working for, Number Two?
Number Two : For us, for us!
Number Six : That is not the way it's going to sound to XO4.
Number Two : I swear to you...
Number Six : You could be working for the enemy or you could be a blunderer who's lost his head. Either way you've failed.

Shop Kiosk Girl : Nine words. That will be three units please. That word "el aldea". Doesn't it mean "village"?
