Quotes 

• 6 : Is everybody here living in fear?

  313 : Yes. No, no, no it doesn't... it doesn't have to be like that. Good and bad, right and wrong. People here, they get on with it. They have jobs. They clean the streets, they... they wait on tables. They work in hospitals. Look out for the neighbors. They're decent, ordinary people. They f... they fall in love. Have kids. Normal lives. What's wrong with that?

  6 : What if they speak out? Think differently? What kind of lives do they have then?

  313 : They go for treatment.

  6 : What treatment?

  313 : I don't ask.

  6 : So that's what's wrong with your cozy little Village life, 313, and you know it. The old man, 554. Hell, she was killed right here. They had dreams, they knew the truth.

  313 : No, no, look... I can't...

  6 : Well, there's gotta be others, and I'm gonna find them.

  313 : Yeah, I have to stop seeing you, 6. People who get close to you, they don't tend to live very long.

• 6 : 313, you have to be careful.

  313 : What do you mean?

  6 : I mean whatever you dream, don't draw anything, put anything on paper, or talk to anyone.

  313 : Why are you doing this?

  6 : 'Cause I don't want anything to happen to you.

  [she shows him a surveillance photo of him and 909 dropping 1955 at the hospital] 

  6 : So, we found him. He was hurt.

  [she shows him more] 

  6 : Where did you get these?

  313 : They were sent to me anonymously.

  [showing him one more] 

  313 : That's you. That's you on the roof of my building. It's you.

  6 : Let me tell you why I did this.

  313 : I know why. You're the undercover. I let myself believe you. I can't even bear to look at you.
