Commonplace: "Sides"
Number Two: There are some people who talk and some people who don’t, which means that there are some people who leave this place and some who do not leave. You are obviously staying.
Number Six: Has it ever occurred to you that you are just as much a prisoner as I am?
Number Two: Oh! My dear chap, of course--I know too much. We’re both lifers. I am definitely an optimist. That’s why it doesn’t matter who Number One is. It doesn’t matter which “side” runs the Village.
Number Six: It’s run by one side or the other.
Number Two: Oh, certainly. But both sides are becoming identical. What in fact has been created: An international community -- a perfect blueprint for world order. When the sides facing each other suddenly realize that they’re looking into a mirror, they will see that this is the pattern for the future.
Number Six: The whole Earth... As the Village?
Number Two: That is my hope. What’s yours?
Number Six: I’d like to be the first man on the moon.
