Brazil Edit

A freelance subversive.

A man who hijacks my truck, loses me my job...

A most perceptive choice if I dare say so, madame.

A ruthless minority of people...

A very clear delineation of picture this has. Adamant, mobile.

A woman, eh?

About following up and eradicating any error.

Absolutely. Do you know what this is?

Absolutely. Do you know what this is?

Acid, on the other hand, can be used for such wonderfully subtle shading.

Actually, Alma, that was one of the little things I've been dying to tell you.

Afraid you're right, Mr. Helpmann.

Ah, come on.

Ah, Lowry, glad I caught you. No! Send that back!

Ah, Madame Lowry.

Ah, Mr. Lowry. So pleased you could make it.

Ah! Here we are.

Ah! I heard you were coming aboard.

Ah. Um, are you Mrs. Buttle?

Aim!

Alison, yes, of course.

Alison's in great shape. Kids are fine.

All clear.

All I can say is, don't fall at the last fence, the finishing post in sight.

All inquiries through Information Retrieval,

All right, but for Christ's sake, don't lose it.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Come on here.

All you're requested to do at this stage is to sign this form.

Always used to wonder if she wore falsies.

An empty desk is an efficient desk.

And "B," he loathes me.

And a very merry Christmas to you all.

And already she's twice as beautiful as she was before. Voila!

And behind that door, your very own office.

And bounding about like a young gazelle.

And for the information retrieval procedures used in their interrogation.

And I couldn't even turn on a kitchen tap without filling out a 27 B/6.

And I keep his name alive at the office every day.

And I promised your mother...

And I'll do it for you.

And I've got trouble with my air conditioning. It's an emergency.

And interrogate him at the same voltage as Mr. Buttle.

And juggle the books in Electrical Banking.

And pretty consistently knocking them for six.

And sabotaged adjacent Central Services.

And someone somewhere is trying to make us carry the can.

And that he is liable to certain financial obligations...

And that's hopeless. They never tell you anything.

And the cost of it all, Deputy Minister.

And then some!

And there are plenty of people in Central Services...

And what would you like for Christmas?

And, uh... I mean... Extraordinary, isn't it?

And, um, I'll, uh...

And... you can't tell me what the proper channels are

Anyway, if I want you to trust me, then it's only fair that I should trust you. Right?

Anyway, um...

Are looking for an Archibald Tuttle, heating engineer.

Are now available in hundreds of different colors...

Are you all right? What happened to you after...

Are you from Central Services?

Aren't you a bit late? I mean, the party started an hour ago.

As a matter of fact, it looks like on your block.

As any payments are normally made through Central Computer, but, um...

As specified in council order RB/CZ/907/X.

At her apartment tonight

Bad sportsmanship.

Barbara's taken the other two Christmas shopping.

Bastards!

Bastards!

Because that's... classified information.

Before this stupid seventh tier reorganization.

Beginner's luck.

Besides, it's not my department.

Best to take things slowly where some women are concerned.

Between you and me, Lowry, this... No, no! Department... Tell Records to get stuffed!

Between you and me, mademoiselle, today the number one.

Bit of a disputed call, I'm afraid.

Bloody paperwork.

Bon appetit!

Boy, take the gentlemen's baggage. ...

Braised veal in wine sauce.

Bribes...

But don't think you can intimidate us with your friends and relatives in high places.

But Dr. Chapman says I'll soon be up...

But I can bypass it with one of these.

But I gather that, um...

But if you do have any complaints you wish to make...

But if you do have any complaints you wish to make...

But nowadays, with all the new rules and regulations...

But Security has invoiced Admin for Tuttle, Archibald, heating engineer.

But she's innocent, Jack. She's done nothing wrong.

But the spirit never grows old.

But we'll get one.

But you will have to buy insurance to qualify for this scheme.

But you've stamped this form before. Why won't you stamp it now?

But, Jack, you don't really think Tuttle and the girl are in league, do you?

But, Mr. Helpmann, the bombing campaign is now in its 13th year.

But, um... but I've been dreaming about you.

But...

Buttle, Archibald.

Bye bye.

Cabinet or something... burn it, eat it.

Call me Harry.

Can I have a look? I've never seen a refund check before.

Can I help you?

Can you believe it?

Care for a little necrophilia?

Careful with those bloody things.

Casablanca.

Cause and effect. That's the beauty of it.

Central Banking.

Central Services

Central Services cannot take service calls centrally between 2300 and 0900 hours.

Central Services.

Central Services.

Central Services's new duct designs...

Chase those years away!

Clarification notices from Accounting concerning unreturned receipts?

Classified matter...

Come along with me, please. Please? Okay. Yes.

Come and look. How you getting on?

Come here, sonny. Let's see your I.D. Card, eh?

Come in.

Come off it, Jack.

Come on, before they turn the lights out.

Come on, Chloe, let's show Uncle Sam here how we can make the word "cat." Shall we?

Come on, darling. Join in the fun. Simply everybody's here.

Come on!

Come on. Let's get these together.

Come the time they want something from us, oh, yes.

Computers are my forte.

Confess quickly.

Congratulations, "DZ/015."

Congratulations, DZ/015.

Could try next of kin.

Damn it, Lowry! That convoy of personnel carriers is still not accounted for!

Damn it!

Damn right.

David, in a free society, information's the name of the game.

Dead?

Dead?

Definitely no!

Department of Works up here!

Deposit.

Deputy Minister Eugene Helpmann.

Designer colors to suit your demanding taste.

Did I call you Amy, darling? I'm sorry.

Disgraceful!

Distinguishing marks: Scar on left"...

Do cooperate. Think of your mother.

Do you believe that the government is winning the battle against terrorists?

Do your ducts seem old fashioned, out of date?

Doesn't it bother you, the sort of things you do at Information Retrieval?

Don't fight it, son.

Don't go.

Don't let them see you! Just go!

Don't slow down. Don't slow down!

Don't stop. Please. Please do as I say. Go.

Don't take any notice of them, love.

Don't throw that. That's only for long distance.

Don't throw the ball around in here.

Don't touch her! She's hurt!

Don't touch me. Why don't you just get the hell out of here.

Don't touch that! Don't touch anything!

Don't worry. I'll get to her.

Don't you like it?

Don't you want the lift?

Don't you worry, love. We'll have everything shipshape in a jiffy.

Dr. Chapman, did you say something?

Dr. Jaffe pinned her ears back.

Drive on, or I'll blast your fucking head off!

Drive on, will you! For... Oh, shit. Move over. I'll drive.

Drive out to Mrs. Buttle, let her sign the back of the check.

Drive, and I'll explain everything.

DZ/105!

E R E I A M J H.

Everything's connected all along the line.

Everything's in here.

Excellent work.

Excuse me, Dawson. Could you put me through to Mr. Helpmann's office, please?

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Are you Officer 412/L?

Excusez moi.

Faces are a doddle compared to tits and ass.

False ears... Mr. Helpmann!

Father Christmas can't come if we haven't got a chimney.

Filling up with...

Fine by me.

First...

For official monkeys like you.

For our necessary repairs.

From 8:30

Get off!

Get out of my cab.

Gift tokens. Medical gift tokens.

Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone.

Go away. This is a very sacred moment.

Go faster! Faster!

Go on. I'm not going to elope with her.

Go on. Make yourself useful.

Go!

God bless us, every one."

Good evening, David.

Good God. Queries from Security.

Good looking, sexy. Just my type.

Good luck. Keep your eye on the ball.

Good. Good man.

Good. I want to talk to him.

Gotta go. Can't keep the orphans waiting.

Great.

Half as terrorists, the rest as victims.

Half the time I can't ever see where I'm going.

Harry Tuttle. Heating engineer at your service.

Has every security man in town looking for me?

Have a nice day. This has not been a recording.

Have a nice day. This has not been a recording...

Have you got a 27 B/6?

Have you got an arrest receipt?

He always believes that people should pay more for their interrogation.

He doesn't have your brains, but he's got the ambition.

He says that you're the first person ever to refuse a promotion.

He was good!

He was very close to me.

He will be pleased when he gets home.

He won't be very long now.

He'll take you under his wing when you get to Information Retrieval.

He's a stickler for paperwork, sir!

He's coming back!

He's got away from us, Jack.

He's promised me these bandages will be off in a jiffy.

Heavy Christmas present.

Hello, Sam. Ida said you might be here. Have you got a minute?

Hello, Sammy.

Hello, Shirley.

Hello, Shirley.

Hello, Shirley.

Hello, Spiro. Merry Christmas.

Hello? What? It's for you.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Central Services?

Hello. I wonder if you could tell me where the...

Hello. Mr. Lowry.

Help me find Jill.

Here.

Here.

Here.

Here.

Here. Sign that.

Here's one now.

Hey, come on! You gotta interrogate me!

Hey! Amy!

Hey! That's mine!

Hmm?

Hmm.

How could you? Look at these people! My God!

How many terrorists have you met, Sam? Actual terrorists?

How much will it be for the, uh... for the work?

How's that?

I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong?

I am sorry, Alma. I didn't mean to sound so...

I assure you, Sam, I'm doing everything within my power.

I called Central Services.

I can't let you have the form until this is stamped.

I can't make up my mind whether to have the number one or the number two.

I could always accept promotion to Information Retrieval.

I did it for you.

I did that.

I did!

I didn't sign the form.

I do.

I don't care how you behaved when you were at Records.

I don't expect to see you slumming it in Records.

I don't go around calling Dr. Jaffe the knife man.

I don't know what I would do if you ever got promoted.

I don't know what's going on here, Lowry.

I don't know, sir. They check all that at the depot.

I don't know. I only know you got the wrong man.

I don't like you either.

I don't suppose you'd happen to know how I can get round an I RQ/3, do you?

I don't want promotion. I don't want anything.

I don't want promotion. I'm happy where I am.

I got a job to do!

I got the right man.

I got these thick eyebrows.

I hope you like it. It's very exclusive.

I I'll tell you what.

I just happen to work at the Ministry of Information.

I know he would have wanted me to help you.

I know her age and distinguishing marks, but I need an address or a place of work.

I know simply everybody.

I know.

I mean, it, um, fixed itself.

I mean, uh, touching you without permission.

I mean, where would we be if we didn't stick to the correct procedures?

I might just as well go and hang myself now.

I must tell you all about it.

I need to find out about a woman.

I need your help.

I saved you from the lorry. You're not something "very special."

I saw the most wonderful idea for Christmas presents at the chemist's.

I say, h has anybody seen Lowry?

I say, look, would you mind if I borrowed your computer console?

I should have opened it. I sat there with it next... I...

I should keep my eyes open if I were you, Sam. Bye.

I suppose one has to expect a certain amount.

I suppose you'd rather have terrorists.

I think I've broken a bone.

I think we should. Yes, Mr. Spoor.

I thought I told you to deal with it. And what the hell is this mess?

I thought so.

I understand this concern on behalf of the taxpayer.

I understand, Sam. I know exactly how you feel.

I want that order rescinded!

I want to report a wrongful arrest.

I won't be long.

I'd be only too happy to, uh... to leave you in peace.

I'd be, well, only too happy to send you the appropriate forms.

I'd have had this dressing off yesterday.

I'd say they're nearly out of the game.

I'd spoil the wrapping.

I'll be on my way.

I'll bet it's Jeffries.

I'll do it for you.

I'll do the paperwork in the morning.

I'll even do it for you.

I'll include your fine handling of the situation in my report.

I'll kill you, you bastard!

I'll kill you!

I'll make you 20 years younger.

I'll never confess!

I'll, um... I'll deactivate her.

I'm a bit of a whiz on that thing.

I'm afraid I can't, sir.

I'm afraid she's upped stumps and retired to the pavilion.

I'm at 579B, Block 19, Northwestern Section "D."

I'm expecting big things... Two copies to Financial!

I'm glad to see the ministry is continuing its tradition

I'm going to do something about it straightaway.

I'm going to have a number eight, please.

I'm Information Retrieval Officer D...

I'm looking for a girl with blonde hair.

I'm not a terrorist.

I'm not Amy. I'm Holly.

I'm only Records.

I'm really just delivering the check.

I'm s... I'm sorry.

I'm so glad you came.

I'm sorry, boys, but we haven't got any vacancies.

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit of a stickler for paperwork.

I'm sorry, madame. I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry, Sam. I'm afraid this whole case has become

I'm sorry. Due to temporary staff shortage...

I'm, uh... I'm looking for Officer 412/L.

I've been looking for you everywhere, Ida.

I've been to Information Adjustments.

I've been told to report to Mr. Warrenn.

I've been worried sick about you.

I've come to give you a check.

I've decided I'd accept the transfer...

I've got to find her.

I've gotta go.

I've had traps set for me before now.

I've killed you.

I've told you before. I'd turn it down.

I've tried that. But look. Look at this.

If I want you to stick your oar in, Mother, I'll tell you where to stick it.

If I'm not too late.

If it wasn't for this complication... the doctor

If these people would just play the game...

If you hold out too long, you could jeopardize your credit rating.

In my dreams I love you.

In respect of Buttle, Archibald, shoe repair operative...

In six months she'll look like Grandma Moses.

Including cesarean section.

Information Retrieval has got him down as "inoperative."

Information Retrieval is an executive branch.

Information Retrieval, huh?

Information Transit got the wrong man.

Internal communicating systems;

Is about to be upgraded and...

Is it me?

Is this all you've got?

Isn't it? Whose is it?

It isn't being very helpful, Mrs. Buttle.

It keeps picking up old films.

It never really happens to us.

It seems that Mr. Buttle was overcharged by Information Retrieval.

It was a bomb. It was a bomb.

It wasn't my fault that Buttle's heart condition didn't appear on Tuttle's file.

It'll never last.

It's a bypass valve on this... on the transformer.

It's a present for my son. Really!

It's a sad loss.

It's absolutely right and fair...

It's all a mistake. You've got to understand that.

It's all right, then?

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.

It's as though he's there still speaking to me.

It's been confusion from the word go.

It's heavy.

It's just me and my little knife.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

It's okay, Officer. Thank you. It's okay. Got everything under control. Thank you.

It's the refund for Tuttle.

It's the... Oh, God, it'll have to wait!

It's what you wanted, isn't it?

It's you!

It's you. What's happening?

It's you. What's happening?

It's your breathing. Now take a deep breath after "Noel."

It's your mother, isn't it? Pulling strings again.

It's... Well...

J.H."

Jack, I'm frightened.

Jack, no, you can't.

Jack, no! Don't!

Jack, this is all a mistake. Please, Jack.

Jack, why don't I try and get to her for you?

Jack!

Jack.

Jack.

Jack.

Jack.

Jack. Excuse me, Shirley.

Jack. Jack, I'm innocent. Please.

Jack. Jack!

Jesus Christ!

Jesus, this place is in a terrible state.

Jesus...

Jill Layton is dead.

Jill Layton.

Jill who? Jill who?

Jill, is that you?

Jill!

Jill!

Jill! Jill, you must be here! Jill!

Jill?

Jill?

Jill?

Jill? Jill?

Jill.

Jill.

Jill. Jill!

Jill. Oh, God.

Just a minute! You're not gonna leave it like this, are you?

Just a minute. What was that business with the gun?

Just a precaution.

Just keep moving.

Just keep your hands where I can see them.

Just keep your hands where I can see them.

Just there. Press harder his time.

Just try and relax, Mrs. Lowry.

Just... I've been to the department of...

Keep going! Keep going! Faster!

Layton.

Layton.

Le...

Let a friend tell you. Your life is going wrong.

Let me have her file.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let's go!

Let's have that sheet.

Like a Rembrandt etching.

Like so.

Lime, I have to use your computer.

Listen, kid, we're all in it together.

Listen, please drive. Drive. Trust me. You are in terrible danger.

Listen, Shirley...

Listen, um... I, uh...

Listen, you, um... you really must let me give you something.

Listen. This whole system of yours could be on fire...

Lock the door after me. Don't answer the phone to anyone.

Look out. Here. Take this.

Look, I'm very flattered and, uh, well...

Look, I'm, uh... I'm sorry about that.

Look, let me use your console.

Look, sir, you can fill in an application form, sir, if you're a relative.

Look, there is one solution.

Look, trust me, Jack.

Look, you're putting me off standing there.

Look. Sam's been promoted to Information Retrieval.

Looking ahead in financial matters is always a wise course.

Looks big.

Lowry!

Luckily, you've got me and the deputy minister.

Machines don't fix themselves.

Madame Lowry.

Merry Christmas.

Mind you, if ever they could prove that I've been working on their equipment...

Mistake? We don't make mistakes.

Mother, I just wish you would stop interfering.

Mother, I'm sorry, but I'm unable to come to your party

Mother, will you listen to me. I haven't...

Mother!

Mother.

Mother. Mother, I have to talk to Mr. Helpmann.

Mother. Mother, I thought we were going to be able to talk.

Mother. Mother!

Mr. Helpmann is here, and he wants to talk to you.

Mr. Helpmann was very close to your father.

Mr. Helpmann was very close to your poor father.

Mr. Helpmann, I'm glad to be of help.

Mr. Helpmann, I'm keen to get into Information Retrieval.

Mr. Helpmann?

Mr. Helpmann.

Mr. Lint, the next customer has been delivered.

Mr. Lowry, please wait in reception. You're giving her wrinkles.

Mr. Lowry, will you step in here, please.

Mr...

Mrs.

Mrs. Buttle, are you all right?

Mrs. Buttle?

Mrs. Ida Lowry requests the pleasure of your company

Mrs. Terrain.

My complication had a little complication.

My God, what on earth's happened to you now?

My God, what on earth's happened to you now?

My good friends call me Harry.

My husband's dead, isn't he?

My I.D.? Oh, God.

My mother's away for Christmas.

My name is Lowry. Sam Lowry.

My name's Lime. Harvey Lime.

My name's Lowry.

My name's Lowry. Sam Lowry.

My own credit card.

Nah! Nah. Couldn't stand the pa...

Nevertheless, Mr. Helpmann, there are those who maintain...

Next of kin!

Next of kin!

Next.

Nice and easy now.

Nice and easy now.

Nice and easy.

No, in triplicate.

No, it, uh... I'll tell you what it is.

No, it's not the machine. There's a mismatch on the personnel code numbers.

No, it's... it's... it's, uh, all right.

No, it's... it's... it's, uh, all right.

No, Jack, please.

No, no, it's, uh... it's fine.

No, no, no, Arthur!

No, no, no. This way, please. Straight ahead.

No, no! Stop!

No, no. Buttle. I mean Buttle.

No, no. There's no stamp on it, you see.

No, not like that. I mean, I love you.

No, nothing. Not even dreams.

No, sir.

No, sir. I'm going to have to fill in a report on this.

No, they don't fix themselves, sir.

No, you're not. Jack Lint is a lesson to you.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! No, I think you're very attractive.

No! No! No! Please!

No.

No. It's all right.

No. No. Don't let Progress see those.

Nostrils, eh?

Not... as such.

Nothing to worry about.

Now look what you've done to him!

Now shape up!

Now the flaccid tissues under the eyes and the forehead.

Now the template.

Now they got the whole country sectioned off. You can't make a move without a form.

Now, Alma...

Now, do stop, sir. Please.

Now, either you plead guilty...

Now, I lift...

Now, please, Mrs. Lowry.

Now, see here, Chapman, at least mine don't end up looking like they've been mugged.

Now, then, uh, what is the date today?

Number three.

Numero un, crevettes a la mayonnaise.

Obviously trying to exploit the situation.

Of a terrorist bombing at the Blue Lagoon...

Of course you can check to see if she's been arrested.

Of course you want something.

Of course, Jeremiah was senior to me, but we were close friends.

Of course. Come on, Alison... Barbara.

Of course. Isn't it wonderful?

Of her recent cosmetic

Of information retrieval charges.

Oh, and, Sam, a very happy Christmas.

Oh, Christ, yes. You've seen her with her clothes off.

Oh, don't mention it. And they make you sweat.

Oh, God, Mother, is that you?

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Holy shit.

Oh, God. She's got what's her name with her.

Oh, I don't know.

Oh, I don't know. Somebody from Information Retrieval.

Oh, Ida!

Oh, Jesus!

Oh, Jill.

Oh, let him go.

Oh, look! He'll never get that out!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Are you all right?

Oh, my God. We shouldn't have come here.

Oh, my...

Oh, nice effect, but highly unstable.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, please help me.

Oh, Sam, this is Information Retrieval, not Information Dispersal.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit. They're coming.

Oh, that sounds marvelous!

Oh, the prannets. I had a personal transporter.

Oh, uh, not that one.

Oh, um, yes. A little something.

Oh, very good, Sammy.

Oh, well, um, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Oh, what a relief. Finish your tea, Sam.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Our morale is much higher than theirs.

Oh, yes. The new boy from next door.

Oh!

Oh! Gosh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Hello.

Oh. Sam.

Oh. Sorry.

Oh. Um...

Oi! Come out of there.

Oi! Oi, you! Stop! Come back here! Stop!

Okay, you've asked for it!

Okay.

Ooh, all information on third level suspects is classified.

Operatives are supposed to touch this stuff.

Or was it a personnel carrier you took out from Transportation?

Or, if you prefer something more specific...

Our job is to trace the connections and, uh, reveal them.

Out of your nostril? Eh?

Paperwork. Couldn't stand the paperwork.

Pepper?

Perfect. See you, Jack.

Perhaps the machine's on the blink.

Perhaps we could lose the thing behind a filing

Personnel transporter? What?

Phew ee.

Pick up all these things!

Pink and blue receipts. Sign there, there and there.

Piss off!

Please drive. Trust me. Trust me.

Please, Jack! No!

Please, Mr. Helpmann.

Please! Please! Drive on!

Please.

Please.

Please. Please, you've got to get me out of here.

Please...

Problem? No problem. Everything's fine. Wonderful. Marvelous.

Put it on, big boy. I won't look at your willy.

Put the phone down and raise your hands.

Quick. Quick.

Ready? One, two, three.

Really, Sam! Why can't you do something about these terrorists?

Really?

Records is a dead end department. No security level worth a damn.

Records?

Resisting arrest.

Ridiculous name.

Right this way.

Right up into the wig, into the hairline.

Right.

Right. Into memory.

Right. It's Tuttle downstairs who can worry, eh?

Sabotage, huh?

Salt?

Sam Lowry!

Sam Lowry.

Sam, happy Christmas.

Sam, I think I ought to tell you.

Sam, I've just had the Transport Pool onto me.

Sam, information retrieval is expensive.

Sam, it's time for you to grow up and accept responsibility.

Sam, no! Sam! Behind you!

Sam, picture me in these.

Sam, there are very rigid parameters laid down to prevent such things happening.

Sam, we've always been close, haven't we?

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Sam! It's me!

Sam! Sam!

Sam! Sam!

Sam?

Sam?

Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

Sam.

Say, against electrical charges over ~70...

Says it could have happened to anybody...

Searches from Central Banking about a check?

See you in the paddock.

Seems to have forgotten certain good old fashioned virtues.

Send that up to Security. Anyway, tidy it up, Lowry.

Send two copies to Financial!

Seven percent of the gross national product.

Sh She's dead. This is just a friend of mine.

Sh... Shh. Shh.

She came to us physically new.

She can cash it at the corner sweet shop.

She goes hence from us not so physically new.

She's innocent, Jack.

She's innocent, Jack.

She's medium height, green eyes.

She's not alone in all this.

She's spending it at the plastic surgeon's.

She's working for someone, and I don't think it's us.

She's...

Shh.

Shirley and I come here "wegularlarly."

Shit.

Sign here, please.

So I've brought you a bottle of barley water.

So they tend to turn a blind eye as long as I'm careful.

So, if, um... Look, if you wouldn't mind just signing these two receipts...

So, there you are.

So.

Sod it! It's broken!

Something for an executive.

Sorry you've had a wasted journey.

Sorry.
