브이: 누구? 누구란 무엇의 기능에 따른 형태이고, 무엇이란 내가 가면을 쓴 사람이란 것이지.
이비: 그건 알아요.
브이: 당연히 그렇겠지. 나는 자네의 관찰력을 물은 게 아닐세, 나는 단지 가면 쓴 사람에게 누구냐고 묻는 패러독수를 주의하자는 거지.
이비: 아, 네.
브이: But on this most auspicious of nights permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.
(브이가 망토를 뒤로 젖힌다)
브이: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! [He slashes a large V through a propaganda poster.] The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. [giggles] Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V".
이비: 혹시, 어, 미친 거예요?
브이: I am quite sure they will say so. But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking?
이비: 전 이비예요.
브이: 이비? 이 ~ 브이. 물론 그렇겠지.
이비: 무슨 뜻이죠?
브이: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence. Are you hurt?
이비: 아니오, 괜찮아요… 감사합니다.
브이: Oh, I merely played my part. 그런데 혹시, 음악 좋아하나, 이비?
이비: 아마도요.
브이: You see, I'm a musician of sorts on my way to give a very special performance.
이비: 어떤 악기인데요?
브이: Percussion instruments are my speciality, but tonight I intend to call upon the entire orchestra for this particular event, and would be most honored if you would join me.
이비: 악기는 안 보이는데요.
브이: Your powers of observation continue to serve you well. 그렇지만 기다려! It is to Madame Justice that I dedicate this concerto, in honor of the holiday she seems to have taken from these parts, and in recognition of the impostor that stands in her stead. 말해 보게. 오늘이 며칠인지 아나?
이비: 음… 11월 4일이요?
(교회 종이 자정을 알린다)
브이: 이제 아니야. 기억하라, 기억하라, 11월의 5번째 날을. 화약의 배신과 음모를. 나는 화약음모사건이 영원히 잊혀져야 하는 이유를 알지 못한다네.
