V for Vendetta
Evey: [Narrating] "Remember, remember / The fifth of November / The gunpowder treason and plot. / I know of no reason / Why the gunpowder treason / Should ever be forgot". But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes, and I know that, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught. He can be killed and forgotten. But four hundred years later an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them; and die defending them. But you cannot touch an idea, cannot hold it or kiss it. An idea does not bleed, it cannot feel pain, and it does not love. And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man. A man who made me remember the fifth of November. A man I will never forget.

Creedy: Take off your mask.V: No.[Creedy nods and two Fingermen approach V; one tries to remove his mask, but V kills them both]Creedy: Defiant until the end, huh? You won't cry like him, will you? You're not afraid of death. You're like me.V: The only thing you and I have in common, Mr. Creedy, is that we are both about to die.Creedy: How do you imagine that'll happen?V: With my hands around your neck.Creedy: Bollocks. We've swept this whole place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.V: No. What you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.Creedy: That's impossible. Kill him![Creedy's men open fire on V, who remains standing after their guns are empty, with many rounds fired]V: My turn.[V keeps his word and slays all of Creedy's men, while Creedy frantically reloads his revolver]Creedy: (starts shooting the approaching V) Die! Die! Why won't you die? (his gun clicks empty) Why won't you die?V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.[V grabs Creedy by the neck, lifts him up and pins him to the fence; within seconds there is a sickening snap, and Creedy goes limp]
