1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Section five of nineteen eighty four by George Orwell. This 2 00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:08,359 legamous recording may be distributed and adapted freely for any purpose. 3 00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:15,679 Part one, Chapter five. In the low ceilinged canteen deep underground, 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,960 the lunch que jerked slowly forward. The room was already 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,760 very full and deafeningly noisy. From the grille at the counter, 6 00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:26,719 the steam of stew came pouring forth, with a sour 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,480 metallic smell which did not quite overcome the fumes of 8 00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,920 victory gin. On the far side of the room there 9 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,920 was a small bar, a mere hole in the wall, 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,679 where gin could be bought at ten cents. The large nip. 11 00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:41,560 Just the man I was looking for, said a voice 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,039 at Winston's back. He turned round. It was his friend, Sime, 13 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,479 who worked in the research department. Perhaps friend was not 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,840 exactly the right word. You did not have friends nowadays. 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,280 You had comrades. But there were some comrades whose society 16 00:00:56,359 --> 00:00:59,960 was pleasanter than that of others. Sime was a philologist, 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,600 a specialist in news speak. Indeed, he was one of 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,400 the enormous team of experts now engaged in compiling the 19 00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:10,040 eleventh edition of the New Speak Dictionary. He was a 20 00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:13,359 tiny creature, smaller than Winston, with dark hair and large, 21 00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:17,680 protuberant eyes, at once mournful and derisive, which seemed to 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,959 search your face closely while he was speaking to you. 23 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:24,400 I wanted to ask you whether you'd got any razor blades, 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,519 he said, not one, said Winston, with a sort of 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,560 guilty haste. I've tried all over the place that don't 26 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,920 exist any longer. Every One kept asking you for razor blades. Actually, 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,439 he had two unused ones which he was hoarding up. 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,120 There had been a famine of them for months past. 29 00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:44,400 At any given moment, there was some necessary article which 30 00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,480 the party shops were unable to supply. Sometimes it was buttons, 31 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,480 sometimes it was darning wool, Sometimes it was shoelacers. At 32 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,280 present it was razor blades. You could only get hold 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,599 of them, if at all, by scrounging more or less 34 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,680 furtively on the free market. I have been using the 35 00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:06,000 same blade for six weeks, he added, untruthfully. The cue 36 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,080 gave another jerk forward. As they halted. He turned and 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,439 faced sim again. Each of them took a greasy metal 38 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:14,199 tray from a pile at the end of the counter. 39 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,960 Did you go and see the prisoners hanged yesterday, said Sime. 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000 I was working, said Winston, indifferently. I shall see it 41 00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:27,199 on the flicks. I suppose a very inadequate substitute, said Sime. 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,360 His mocking eyes roved over Winston's face. I know you, 43 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,759 The eyes seemed to say, I see through you. I 44 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,719 know very well why you didn't go to see those 45 00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:42,759 prisoners hanged. In an intellectual way, Sime was venomously orthodox. 46 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,080 He would talk with a disagreeable, gloating satisfaction of helicopter 47 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:51,280 raids on enemy villages, and trials and confessions of thought criminals, 48 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:53,680 the executions in the cellars of the Ministry of Love. 49 00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:56,879 Talking to him was largely a matter of getting him 50 00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:00,159 away from such subjects and entangling him, if possible, in 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,639 the technicalities of news speak, on which he was authoritative 52 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,280 and interesting. Winston turned his head a little aside to 53 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:11,680 avoid the scrutiny of the large dark eyes. It was 54 00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:15,120 a good hanging, said Sime, reminiscently. I think it spoils 55 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:17,599 it when they tie their feet together. I like to 56 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,360 see them kicking. And above all, at the end, the 57 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:23,800 tongue sticking right out, and blue, quite a bright blue. 58 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:28,919 That's the detail that appeals to me. Next, please, yelled 59 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,159 the white aproned proll. With the ladle, Winston and Sime 60 00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:35,960 pushed their trays beneath the grill on to each was 61 00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:39,879 dumped swiftly the regulation lunch, a metal pannikin of pinkish 62 00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,520 gray stew, a hunk of bread, a cube of cheese, 63 00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,960 a mug of milkless Victory coffee, and one sacran tablet. 64 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,280 There's a table over there under that telescreen, said Sime. 65 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,800 Let's pick up a gin. On the way, the gin 66 00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:57,159 was served out to them in handle as china mugs. 67 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,919 They threaded their way across the crowded room and un 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,879 packed their trays onto the metal topped table. On one 69 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,000 corner of which some one had left a pool of stew, 70 00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:07,919 a filthy liquid mess that had the appearance of vomit. 71 00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:11,639 Winston took up his mug of gin, paused for an 72 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,960 instant to collect his nerve, and gulped the oily tasting 73 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,360 stuff down. When he had winked the tears out of 74 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,959 his eyes, he suddenly discovered that he was hungry. He 75 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,240 began swallowing spoonfuls of the stew, which, in among its 76 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,079 general sloppiness, had cubes of spongy, pinkish stuff, which was 77 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,360 probably a preparation of meat. Neither of them spoke again 78 00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:37,279 till they had emptied their pannikins from the table. At 79 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,439 Winston's left, a little behind his back, some one was 80 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720 talking rapidly and continuously, a harsh gabble, almost like the 81 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,720 quacking of a duck, which pierced the general uproar of 82 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,000 the room. How is the dictionary getting on? Said Winston, 83 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040 raising his voice to overcome the noise, slowly said sim 84 00:04:55,319 --> 00:05:00,160 I'm on the adjectives. It's fascinating. He had brightened up 85 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:03,120 immediately at the mention of news speak. He pushed his 86 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,319 panic and aside, took up his hunk of bread in 87 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,879 one delicate hand and his cheese in the other, and 88 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,839 leaned across the table so as to be able to 89 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,480 speak without shouting. The eleventh edition is the definitive edition, 90 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,439 he said. We're getting the language into its final shape, 91 00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,160 the shape it's going to have when nobody speaks anything else. 92 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920 When we've finished with it, people like you will have 93 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,879 to learn it all over again. You think I dare 94 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:28,360 say that our chief job is inventing new words? But 95 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,399 not a bit of it. We're destroying words, scores of them, 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,519 hundreds of them every day. We're cutting the language down 97 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,360 to the bone. The eleventh edition won't contain a single 98 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000 word that will become obsolete before the year twenty fifty. 99 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,279 He bit hungrily into his bread and swallowed a couple 100 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,480 of mouthfuls, then continued speaking with a sort of pedant's passion. 101 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,600 His thin, dark face had become animated, his eyes had 102 00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:55,879 lost their mocking expression and grown almost dreamy. It's a 103 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,000 beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course, the great 104 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,480 wastage is in the verb and adjectives, but there are 105 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680 hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. 106 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,720 It isn't only the synonyms. There are also the antonyms. 107 00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:10,839 After all, what justification is there for a word which 108 00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:13,720 is simply the opposite of some other word? A word 109 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:17,800 contains its opposite in itself. Take good, for instance. If 110 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000 you have a word like good, what need is there 111 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,879 for a word like bad? Unngood will do just as 112 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,079 well better, because it's an exact opposite which the other 113 00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,160 is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version 114 00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,120 of good, what sense is there in having a whole 115 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,040 string of vague, useless words like excellent and splendid and 116 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:37,199 all the rest of them. Plus good covers the meaning 117 00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:39,639 or double plus good if you want something stronger. Still, 118 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:43,079 of course we use those forms already, But in the 119 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,639 final version of news Speak, there'll be nothing else. In 120 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,959 the end, the whole notion of goodness and badness will 121 00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,480 be covered by only six words, in reality, only one word. 122 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,600 Don't you see the beauty of that? Winston? It was B. 123 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,319 B's idea originally, of course, he added, as an afterthought. 124 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:02,839 A sort of vapid eagerness flitted across Winston's face at 125 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,959 the mention of big brother. Nevertheless, Sime immediately detected a 126 00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:11,560 certain lack of enthusiasm. You haven't a real appreciation of 127 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,959 new speak, Winston, he said, almost sadly. Even when you 128 00:07:14,959 --> 00:07:18,000 write it, you're still thinking in old speak. I've read 129 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,040 some of those pieces that you write in the Times. 130 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:24,639 Occasionally they're good enough, but they're translations. In your heart, 131 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,600 you'd prefer to stick to old speak, with all its 132 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,560 vagueness and its useless shades of meaning. You don't grasp 133 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,439 the beauty of the destruction of words. Do you know 134 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:35,480 that news Speaker is the only language in the world 135 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:40,120 whose vocabulary gets smaller every year. Winston did know that, 136 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,120 of course, he smiled sympathetically, he hoped, not trusting himself 137 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,279 to speak. Sime bit off another fragment of the dark 138 00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:51,199 colored bread, chewed it briefly, and went on, don't you 139 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,000 see that the whole aim of news Speaker is to 140 00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:55,959 narrow the range of thought. In the end, we shall 141 00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:58,959 make thought crime literally impossible, because there will be no 142 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,360 words in which to express. Every concept that can ever 143 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,480 be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with 144 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,040 its meaning rigidly defined, and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed 145 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:12,560 out and forgotten. Already in the eleventh edition, we're not 146 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,600 far from that point, but the process will still be 147 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,920 continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year, 148 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,040 fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always 149 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,360 a little smaller even now. Of course, there's no reason 150 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,319 or excuse for committing thought crime. It's merely a question 151 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,720 of self discipline, reality control. But in the end there 152 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,679 won't be any need even for that. The revolution will 153 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,200 be complete when the language is perfect. New speak is ingsok, 154 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,840 and ingsock is news speak. He added, with a sort 155 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,399 of mystical satisfaction. Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, 156 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,639 that by the year twenty fifty, at the very latest, 157 00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:49,279 not a single human being will be alive. Who could 158 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,799 understand such a conversation as we are having now? Except? 159 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,799 Began Winston doubtfully, and he stopped. It had been on 160 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,080 the tip of his tongue to say, except the prole 161 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,080 But he checked himself, not feeling fully certain that this 162 00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:07,120 remark was not in some way unorthodox. Sime, however, had 163 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:10,759 divined what he was about to say. The prolls are 164 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,720 not human beings, he said carelessly. By twenty fifty earlier, 165 00:09:14,759 --> 00:09:17,879 probably all real knowledge of old speak will have disappeared. 166 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,399 The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, 167 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,039 Milton Byron. They'll exist only in new speak versions, not 168 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:29,440 merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something 169 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,799 contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature 170 00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:36,279 of the party will change. Even the slogans will change. 171 00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:39,159 How could you have a slogan like freedom is slavery? 172 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,000 When the concept of freedom has been abolished. The whole 173 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:45,960 climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will 174 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,799 be no thought. As we understand it now, Orthodoxy means 175 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:56,240 not thinking, not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness. One 176 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,240 of these days, thought Winston, with sudden, deep conviction, Sime 177 00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,840 will be vaporiz. He is too intelligent, he sees too 178 00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:06,000 clearly and speaks too plainly. The party does not like 179 00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:09,440 such people. One day he will disappear. It is written 180 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,440 in his face. Winston had finished his bread and cheese. 181 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:15,960 He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink 182 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,919 his mug of coffee. At the table on his left, 183 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,200 the man with a strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. 184 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,440 A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who 185 00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:27,840 was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to 186 00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:30,279 him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that 187 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,639 he said. From time to time, Winston caught some such remarkers, 188 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,200 I think you're so right. I do so agree with you, 189 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,080 uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice. But 190 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,480 the other voice never stopped for an instant even when 191 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,759 the girl was speaking. Winston knew the man by sight, 192 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,879 though he knew no more about him than that he 193 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,399 held some important post in the fiction department. He was 194 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,639 a man of about thirty, with a muscular throat and 195 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,279 a large mobile mouth. His head was thrown back a little, 196 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,360 and because of the angle at which he was sitting, 197 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,240 his spectacles caught the light and presented to Winston two 198 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,360 blank disks instead of eyes. What was slightly horrible was 199 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:09,559 that from the stream of sound that poured out of 200 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,120 his mouth, it was almost impossible to distinguish a single word. 201 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,919 Just once Winston caught a phrase, complete and final elimination 202 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,679 of Goldsteinism jerked out very rapidly, and as it seemed, 203 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,519 all in one piece, like a line of type cast solid. 204 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,279 For the rest it was just a noise, a quack 205 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,240 quack quacking. And yet though you could not actually hear 206 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,399 what the man was saying, you could not be in 207 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,080 any doubt about its general nature. He might be denouncing 208 00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:41,120 Goldstein and demanding sterner measures against thought criminals and saboteurs. 209 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:44,840 He might be fulminating against the atrocities of the Eurasian Army. 210 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,159 He might be praising Big Brother or the heroes on 211 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,159 the Malabar front. It made no difference. Whatever it was, 212 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,159 you could be certain that every word of it was 213 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,879 pure Orthodoxy, pure insock As he watched the eyeless face 214 00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:00,840 with the jaw moving rapidly up and down, Winston had 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240 a curious feeling that this was not a real human being, 216 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:06,240 but some kind of dummy. It was not the man's 217 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,200 brain that was speaking, It was his larynx. The stuff 218 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,559 that was coming out of him consisted of words, but 219 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,039 it was not speech in the true sense. It was 220 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,240 a noise uttered in unconsciousness, like the quacking of a duck. 221 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,679 Sime had fallen silent for a moment, and with the 222 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000 handle of his spoon, was tracing patterns in the puddle 223 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:27,759 of stew. The voice from the other table quacked rapidly on, 224 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,600 easily audible in spite of the surrounding din There is 225 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,039 a word in new speak, said Sime. I don't know 226 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,360 whether you know it, duck speak to quack like a duck. 227 00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,039 It is one of those interesting words that have two 228 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,240 contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it is abuse applied 229 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,120 to some one you agree with, it is praise. Unquestionably, 230 00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:53,320 Sime will be vaporized, Winston thought again. He thought it 231 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,159 with a kind of sadness, although well knowing that Sime 232 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,480 despised him and slightly disliked him, and was fully capable 233 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,600 of denancing him as a thought criminal if he saw 234 00:13:01,639 --> 00:13:05,120 any reason for doing so. There was something subtly wrong 235 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:09,120 with Sime. There was something that he lacked discretion, aloofness, 236 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:12,240 a sort of saving stupidity. You could not say that 237 00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,320 he was unorthodox. He believed in the principles of ingsok. 238 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:19,440 He venerated Big Brother. He rejoiced over victories. He hated heretics, 239 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,480 not merely with sincerity, but with a sort of restless 240 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,919 zeal an up to dateness of information which the ordinary 241 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,399 party member did not approach. Yet a faint air of 242 00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:33,159 disreputability always clung to him. He said things that would 243 00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:36,200 have been better unsaid. He had read too many books. 244 00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:40,440 He frequented the Chestnut Tree Cafe, haunt of painters and musicians. 245 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,360 There was no law, not even an unwritten law, against 246 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,600 frequenting the Chestnut Tree Cafe. Yet the place was somehow 247 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,320 ill omened. The old, discredited leaders of the party had 248 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,840 been used to gather there before they were finally purged. 249 00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:56,639 Goldstein himself, it was said, had sometimes been seen there 250 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,279 years and decades ago. Sime's fate was not difficult to foresee. 251 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,120 And yet it was a fact that if Sime grasped 252 00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:07,679 even for three seconds the nature of his Winston's secret opinions, 253 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,279 he would betray him instantly to the thought police. So 254 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,759 would anybody else for that matter. But Sime, more than 255 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:20,720 most zeal was not enough. Orthodoxy was unconsciousness. Sime looked up. 256 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:25,000 Here comes Parsons. He said, something in the tone of 257 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,039 his voice seemed to add that bloody fool. Parsons, Winston's 258 00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:31,960 fellow tenant at Victory Mansions, was in fact threading his 259 00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:34,960 way across the room. A tubby, middle sized man with 260 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,440 fair hair and a frog like face. At thirty five, 261 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,639 he was already putting on rolls of fat at neck 262 00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:43,440 and waist line. But his movements were brisk and boyish. 263 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,879 His whole appearance was that of a little boy grown large, 264 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,519 so much so that although he was wearing the regulation overalls, 265 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,840 it was almost impossible not to think of him as 266 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,799 being dressed in the blue shorts, gray shirt, and red 267 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,039 Neckerchief of the Spies. In visualizing him, one always I 268 00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:02,720 saw a picture of dimpled knees and sleeves rolled back 269 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:07,639 from pudgy forearms. Parsons did indeed invariably revert to shorts 270 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:10,279 when a community hike or any other physical activity gave 271 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,679 him an excuse for doing so. He greeted them both 272 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,919 with a cheery Hullo hallo, and sat down at the table, 273 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,559 giving off an intense smell of sweat. Beads of moisture 274 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:23,360 stood out all over his pink face. His powers of 275 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,000 sweating were extraordinary. At the community center, you could always 276 00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:29,039 tell when he had been playing table tennis by the 277 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,799 dampness of the bat handle. Sime had produced a strip 278 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,200 of paper on which there was a long column of words, 279 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,720 and was studying it with an ink pencil between his fingers. 280 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,320 Look at him working away in the lunch hour, said Parsons, 281 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,720 nudging Winston. Keenness, Eh, what's such you've got there, old boy? 282 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,279 Something a bit too brainy for me, I expect smith, 283 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,559 Old boy, I'll tell you why I'm chasing you. It's 284 00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:56,879 that sub you forgot to give me. Which sub is that? 285 00:15:57,039 --> 00:16:00,720 Said Winston, automatically, feeling for money. About a quarter of 286 00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,559 one's salary had to be here marked for voluntary subscriptions, 287 00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:05,919 which were so numerous that it was difficult to keep 288 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,799 track of them. For hate week. You know the house 289 00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:13,720 by house fund. I'm treasurer for our block. We're making 290 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:16,639 an all out effort, going to put on a tremendous show. 291 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,919 I tell you it won't be my fault if Old 292 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,480 Victory Mansions doesn't have the biggest outfit of flags in 293 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,159 the whole street. Two dollars, you promised me. Winston found 294 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,000 and handed over two crist and filthy notes, which Parsons 295 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,559 entered in a small note book in the neat handwriting 296 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,399 of the illiterate. By the way, old boy, he said, 297 00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:37,559 I hear that little beggar of mine let fly at 298 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000 you with his catapult yesterday. I gave him a good 299 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,399 dressing down for it. In fact, I told him I'd 300 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,559 take the catapult away if he does it again. I 301 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:47,200 think it was a little upset at not going to 302 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,759 the execution, said Winston. Ah, well, what I mean to say? 303 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,360 That shows the right spirit, doesn't it. Mischievous little beggars 304 00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:58,480 they are, both of them, but talk about keenness. All 305 00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:01,000 they think about is the Spies, the war. Of course, 306 00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:03,320 do you know what that little girl of mine did 307 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:05,720 last Saturday when her troop was on a hike at 308 00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:09,200 Berkhamstead Way, she got two other girls to go with her, 309 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,839 slipped off from the hike and spent the whole afternoon 310 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,799 following a strange man. They kept on his tail for 311 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,319 two hours, right through the woods, and then when they 312 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:20,759 got into Amersham handed him over to the patrols. What 313 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,680 did they do that for, said Winston, somewhat taken aback. 314 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,400 Parsons went on triumphantly. My kid made sure he was 315 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,559 some kind of enemy agent. Might have been dropped by parachute, 316 00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,759 for instance. But here's the point, old boy, what do 317 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:36,440 you think put her on to him in the first place? 318 00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:39,599 She spotted he was wearing a funny kind of shoes, 319 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,759 said she'd never seen any one wearing shoes like that before, 320 00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:46,160 so the chances were he was a foreigner. Pretty smart 321 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,839 for a nipper of seven. Eh. What happened to the man? 322 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,160 Said Winston. Ah that I couldn't say, of course, but 323 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,640 I wouldn't be altogether surprised if Parsons made the motion 324 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,440 of aiming a rifle and clicked his tongue for the explosion, good, 325 00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:04,480 said sim abstractedly, without looking up from his strip of paper. 326 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,519 Of course, we can't afford to take chances, agreed Winston 327 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:11,839 dutifully what I mean to say. There is a war 328 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,440 on said Parsons, as though in confirmation of this, a 329 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,839 trumpet call floated from the telescreen just above their heads. However, 330 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720 it was not the proclamation of a military victory this time, 331 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,160 but merely an announcement from the Ministry of Plenty. Comrades, 332 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,039 cried an eager, youthful voice. Attention, comrades, we have glorious 333 00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:33,559 news for you. We have won the battle for production. 334 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:36,880 Returns now completed of the output of all classes of 335 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,079 consumption goods show that the standard of living has risen 336 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,440 by no less than twenty percent over the past year. 337 00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:47,680 All over Oceania this morning there were irrepressible, spontaneous demonstrations 338 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,880 when workers marched out of factories and officers and paraded 339 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,400 through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Big 340 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,640 Brother for the new happy life which his wise leadership 341 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,519 has bestowed upon us. Here are some of the completed 342 00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:04,839 figures food stuffs. The phrase our new happy life recurred 343 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,559 several times. It had been a favorite of late with 344 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:11,240 the Ministry of Plenty. Parsons, his attention caught by the 345 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,680 trumpet call, sat listening with a sort of gaping solemnity, 346 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,519 a sort of edified boredom. He could not follow the figures, 347 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:20,119 but he was aware that they were in some way 348 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,400 a cause for satisfaction. He had lugged out a huge 349 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,319 and filthy pipe, which was already half full of charred tobacco. 350 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,720 With the tobacco ration at a hundred grams a week, 351 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,240 it was seldom possible to fill a pipe to the top. 352 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,720 Winston was smoking a Victory cigarette, which he held carefully horizontal. 353 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,599 The new ration did not start till to morrow, and 354 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,720 he had only four cigarettes left for the moment. He 355 00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:44,960 had shut his ears to the remoter noises and was 356 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,359 listening to the stuff that streamed out of the telescreen. 357 00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:51,200 It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank 358 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,799 Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams 359 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:57,359 a week, and only yesterday, he reflected, it had been 360 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,720 announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty 361 00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:03,119 grads week. Was it possible that they could swallow that 362 00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:08,000 after only twenty four hours. Yes, they swallowed it. Parsons 363 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:11,240 swallowed it easily, with the stupidity of an animal. The 364 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,599 eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically, passionately, 365 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,640 with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize 366 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,319 anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had 367 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,839 been thirty grams. Sime too, in some more complex way, 368 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,960 involving doublethink. Sime swallowed it. Was he then alone, in 369 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,880 the possession of a memory. The fabulous statistics continued to 370 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,000 pour out of the telescreen. As compared with the last year, 371 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:41,799 there was more food, more clothes, more houses, more furniture, 372 00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:46,519 more cooking pots, more fuel, more ships, more helicopters, more books, 373 00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:50,519 more babies, more of everything except disease, crime, and insanity. 374 00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,960 Year by year, and minute by minute, everybody and everything 375 00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:59,000 was whizzing rapidly upwards, as Sime had done earlier. Winston 376 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:01,599 had taken up his spoon and was dabbling in the 377 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,039 pale colored gravy that dribbled across the table, drawing a 378 00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,359 long streak of it out into a pattern. He meditated 379 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,720 resentfully on the physical texture of life. Had it always 380 00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:15,559 been like this? Had food always tasted like this? He 381 00:21:15,599 --> 00:21:19,880 looked round the canteen, a low ceilinged, crowded room, its 382 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,880 walls grimy from the contact of innumerable bodies, battered, metal 383 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,240 tables and chairs placed so close together that you sat 384 00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:32,119 with elbows touching, bent spoons, dented trays, coarse white mugs, 385 00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:36,440 all surfaces, greasy grime in every crack, and a sourish 386 00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:39,880 composite smell of bad gin and bad coffee, and metallic stew, 387 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,759 and dirty clothes. Always in your stomach and in your skin. 388 00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:46,359 There was a sort of protest, a feeling that you 389 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,440 had been cheated of something that you had a right to. 390 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,559 It was true that he had no memories of anything 391 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:55,079 greatly different in any time that he could accurately remember. 392 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,559 There had never been quite enough to eat. One had 393 00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:00,000 never had socks or underclothes that were not full of holes. 394 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,519 Furniture had always been battered and rickety rooms, underheated, tube trains, 395 00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:11,119 crowded houses falling to pieces bread, dark colored tea, rarity, coffee, 396 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:16,119 filthy tasting cigarettes, insufficient, nothing cheap and plentiful except synthetic gin. 397 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,839 And though of course it grew worse as one's body aged, 398 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,119 was it not a sign that this was not the 399 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,880 natural order of things? If one's heart sickened at the 400 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,440 discomfort and dirt and scarcity, the interminable winters, the stickiness 401 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,960 of one's socks, the lifts that never worked, the cold water, 402 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,200 the gritty soap, the cigarettes that came to pieces, the 403 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,799 food with its strange, evil tastes. Why should one feel 404 00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:42,079 it to be intolerable unless one had some kind of 405 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,559 ancestral memory that things had once been different. He looked 406 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,039 round the canteen again. Nearly every one was ugly, and 407 00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:52,400 would still have been ugly even if dressed otherwise than 408 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,160 in the uniform blue overalls. On the far side of 409 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,400 the room, sitting at a table alone, a small, curiously 410 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,319 beetle like man was drinking a cup of coffee, his 411 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,559 little eyes darting suspicious glances from side to side. How 412 00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:08,759 easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look 413 00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:11,400 about you to believe that the physical type set up 414 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,640 by the party as an ideal, tall, muscular youths and 415 00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:19,920 deep bosomed maidens, blond haired, vital, sun burnt, carefree existed 416 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,920 and even predominated. Actually, so far as he could judge, 417 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,720 the majority of people in airstrip one were small, dark, 418 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:29,960 and ill favored. It was curious how that beetle like 419 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:34,160 type proliferated in the ministries, Little dumpy men growing stout 420 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,079 very early in life, with short legs, swift scuttling movements, 421 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:41,759 and fat inscrutable faces with very small eyes. It was 422 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:44,240 the type that seemed to flourish best under the domination 423 00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:48,119 of the party. The announcements from the Ministry of Plenty 424 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,440 ended on another trumpet call and gave way to tinny music. Parsons, 425 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,799 stirred to vague enthusiasm by the bombardment of figures, took 426 00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:59,240 his pipe out of his mouth. The Ministry of Plenty 427 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:01,400 certainly done a good job this year, he said, with 428 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,440 a knowing shake of his head. By the way, Smith, 429 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,039 old boy, I suppose you haven't got any razor blades. 430 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:10,680 You can let me have not one, said Winston. I've 431 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,440 been using the same blade for six weeks myself. Ah. Well, 432 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,319 just thought i'd ask you, old boy. Sorry, said Winston. 433 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,799 The quacking voice from the next table, temporarily silenced during 434 00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:27,200 the Ministry's announcement, had started up again as loud as ever. 435 00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:31,440 For some reason, Winston suddenly found himself thinking of missus Parsons, 436 00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,200 with her wispy hair and the dust in the creases 437 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,599 of her face. Within two years, those children would be 438 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,640 denouncing her to the thought police Missus. Parsons would be vaporized. 439 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,119 Sime would be vaporized, Winston would be vaporized. O'Brien would 440 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,000 be vaporized. Parsons, on the other hand, would never be vaporized. 441 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,400 The eyeless creature with the quacking voice would never be vaporized. 442 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,079 The little beetle like men who scuttle so nimbly through 443 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,039 the labyrinthine corridors of ministries, they too, would never be vaporized. 444 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,240 And the girl with dark hair, the girl from the 445 00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:08,799 fiction department, she would never be vaporized either. It seemed 446 00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:11,039 to him that he knew instinctively who would survive and 447 00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:14,119 who would perish, though just what it was that made 448 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,680 for survival it was not easy to say. At this moment. 449 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,039 He was dragged out of his reverie with a violent jerk. 450 00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:24,119 The girl at the next table had turned partly round 451 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,519 and was looking at him. It was the girl with 452 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,680 dark hair. She was looking at him in a sidelong way, 453 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,359 but with curious intensity. The instant she caught his eye, 454 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,279 she looked away again. The sweat started out on Winston's backbone. 455 00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:41,599 A horrible pang of terror went through him. It was 456 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,519 gone almost at once, but had left a sort of 457 00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:48,559 nagging uneasiness behind. Why was she watching him? Why did 458 00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,240 she keep following him about? Unfortunately, he could not remember 459 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:54,799 whether she had already been at the table when he arrived, 460 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,720 or had come thereafterwards, But yesterday, at any rate, during 461 00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:01,559 the two minutes hate, she had sat immediately behind him 462 00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:04,880 when there was no apparent need to do so. Quite 463 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,960 likely her real object had been to listen to him 464 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:11,359 and make sure whether he was shouting loudly enough. His 465 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,599 earlier thought returned to him. Probably she was not actually 466 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,880 a member of the thought police, But then it was 467 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,880 precisely the amateur spy who was the greatest danger of all. 468 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,720 He did not know how long she had been looking 469 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,559 at him, but perhaps for as much as five minutes, 470 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:27,880 and it was possible that his features had not been 471 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,079 perfectly under control. It was terribly dangerous to let your 472 00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,920 thoughts wander when you were in any public place or 473 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,480 within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give 474 00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:42,440 you away a nervous tick, an unconscious look of anxiety, 475 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,960 a habit of muttering to yourself, anything that carried with 476 00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:49,039 it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide 477 00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,920 in any case, to wear an improper expression on your face, 478 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,960 to look incredulous when a victory was announced, For example, 479 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,440 was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word 480 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,160 for it in news speak, face crime. It was called 481 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,880 The girl had turned her back on him again. Perhaps, 482 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,680 after all, she was not really following him about. Perhaps 483 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,759 it was coincidence that she had sat so close to 484 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,279 him two days running. His cigarette had gone out, and 485 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,200 he laid it carefully on the edge of the table. 486 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,039 He would finish smoking it after work if he could 487 00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:23,319 keep the tobacco in it. Quite likely the person at 488 00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:25,519 the next table was a spy of the thought police, 489 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,720 and quite likely he would be in the cellars of 490 00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:30,480 the Ministry of Love within three days. But a cigarette 491 00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:33,880 end must not be wasted. Sime had folded up his 492 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,000 strip of paper and stowed it away in his pocket. 493 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,079 Parsons had begun talking again. Did I ever tell you, 494 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,759 old boy, he said, chuckling round the stem of his pipe, 495 00:27:43,039 --> 00:27:45,079 about the time when those two nippers of mine set 496 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,440 fire to the old market woman's skirt because they saw 497 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,480 her wrapping up sausages in a poster of b B. 498 00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:52,680 Sneaked up behind her and set fire to it with 499 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,519 a box of matches. Burned her quite badly, I believe 500 00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:59,720 little beggars, eh, But keen as mustard. That's a first 501 00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:02,640 rate training they give them in the spies nowadays, better 502 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,039 than in my day. Even what do you think's the 503 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,960 latest thing? They've served them out with ear trumpets for 504 00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:11,200 listening through key holes. My little girl brought one home 505 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,759 the other night, tried it out on our sitting room 506 00:28:13,759 --> 00:28:15,640 door and reckoned. She could hear twice as much as 507 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,200 with her ear to the hole. Of course, it's only 508 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,680 a toy, mind, You still gives them the right idea, eh. 509 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,400 At this moment, the telescreen let out a piercing whistle. 510 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,799 It was the signal to return to work. All three 511 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:30,960 men sprang to their feet to join in the struggle 512 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,680 round the lifts, and the remaining tobacco fell out of 513 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,480 Winston's cigarette. End of Section five.
