Gud bedre

Dette er den klassiske monologen fra tegneserien "V for Vendetta", hvor "V" slår opp med sin gamle elskede. Hun er en statue på toppen av et høyt hus, så all dialogen er iogforseg "V" sjølv, men han putter ordene i hennes munn. Det er vakkert, og det er selvfølgelig ikke med i filmen.

«Hello, dear lady. A lovely evening, is it not?»
«Forgive me for intruding. Perhaps you were intending to take a stroll. Perhaps you were merely enjoying the view.
No matter. I thought that it was time we had a little chat, you and i»

«Ahh.. I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced.
I do not have a name. You can call me V»

«Madame justice.. This is V»
«V.. This is madam Justice.»
«hello madam Justice.»
«Good evening, V.»

«there. Now we know each other. Actually, Ive been a fan of yours for quite som e time. Oh, I knwo what you're thinking..»
«The poor boy has a crush on me.. An adolescent infatuation»
«I beg your pardon, madam. It isn't like that at all.»
«Ive long admired you... Albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from sthe streets below when i was a child.»
«I'd say, to my father, «Who is that lady?» and he'd say, «thats madam justice,» and I'd say, «Isn't she pretty.»

«Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.»
«That was a long time ago. I'm afraid there's someone else now...»
«What? V! For shame you have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and poufing hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!»

«I, madam? I beg to differ! It was your infedelity that drove me to her arms!»

«Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling, but I do. I know everything!»
«Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for man in uniform:»
«Uniform? Why I'm sufe I don't know what your're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...»

«LIAR! SLUT! WHORE! DENY THAT YOU LET him have his way with you, him with his armbands and JACKBOOTS!»
«Well? Cat got your tongue?!»
«I thought as much.»

«Very well. So you stand revealed at last. You are no longer my justice now, you have bedded another.»
«Well, two can play at that game!»

«Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?»

«Her name is anarchy, and she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did!»
!She hs taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom, she is honest. She makes no promises and breaks noene. Unlike you, jezebel.»
«I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know.»
«So goodbye , dear lady. I would be saddened by your parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman that I once loved.»
«here is a final gift. I leave it at your feet»
