(开头独白,讲述1605年Guy Fawkes反对专制,企图炸毁英国国会大楼未遂的故事)
Evey Hammond: [Voiceover, introduction] 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, 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 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I’ve seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them… but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it… ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love… And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man… A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.
Evey:要记住,要记住,the Fifth of November,那个携着火药的“叛国贼”,我不明白为什么这个叛国贼必须被以往的原因。但他到底何人?我知道他名叫Guy Fawkes,在1605年,他试图炸掉英国议会大楼。但他到底是谁?长什么样?有人告诉我们要记住他的想法,而不是这个人,因为人的行动可能失败。他当时被抓了,他会被害和遗忘,但是400年过去了,一个思想仍然可以改变世界。我见证了这个思想的伟大力量,我看到了人们以它的名义杀戮,也为保卫它而丧命。但你不能亲近它,接触它,拥有它。思想本身不会流血、不会感到痛苦,他们没有感情。但思想不是我最四年的,而是一个人。这个人让我记住了the Fifth of November,此人我永生难忘!

(片头的一个电视节目,那位主人公语气狂妄无比。分镜头有两个,本别是是Evey和剑客V准备出门)
Lewis Prothero: So I read that the former United States is so desperate for medical supplies that they have allegedly sent several containers filled with wheat and tobacco. A gesture, they said, of good will. You wanna know what I think? Well, you’re listening to my show, so I will assume you do… I think it’s high time we let the colonies know what we really think of them. I think its payback time for a little tea party they through for us a few hundred years ago. I say we go down to those docks tonight and dump that crap where everything from the Ulcered Sphincter of Ass-erica belongs! Who’s with me? Who’s bloody with me?
Lewis:我知道“前美国”正陷入药品供应的困境,给我门发了些装有小麦和烟草的瓶瓶罐罐。说这是一个善意的表示。你想知道我怎么认为吗?好吧,你在看我的节目,所以我要告诉你,我觉得这是一个让他们这些殖民者知道我们真实想法的好机会。我想这是我们报复几百年前波士顿倒茶事件的好机会!我的意思是我们应该今晚就去码头把那些从“Ulcered Sphincter of Ass-erica(片中对USA的一种污辱性称呼,意思有些龌龊)”来得废物倒到臭水沟里!谁与我同去?谁到底愿意与我同去?
[audience applauds] 【观众鼓掌】
Lewis Prothero: Did you like that? USA… Ulcered Sphincter of Ass-erica, I mean what else can you say? Here was a country that had everything, absolutely everything. And now, 20 years later, is what? The world’s biggest leper colony. Why? Godlessness. Let me say that again… Godlessness. It wasn’t the war they started. It wasn’t the plague they created. It was Judgement. No one escapes their past. No one escapes Judgement. You think he’s not up there? You think he’s not watching over this country? How else can you explain it? He tested us, but we came through. We did what we had to do. Islington. Enfield. I was there, I saw it all. Immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, terrorists. Disease-ridden degenerates. They had to go. Strength through unity. Unity through faith. I’m a God-fearing Englishman and I’m goddamn proud of it!
Lewis:你觉得如何?USA… Ulcered Sphincter of Ass-erica,我的意思是你还能说什么?这就是一个曾经拥有一切的国家!一切!然而现在,20年过去了,变成什么样子了?全世界最大的麻风殖民地!为什么?因为他们是无神主义者!我重复一边,无神主义者!并不是因为他们发动的战争,并不是因为他们制造的瘟疫!这是审判!每人能逃出过去!每人能逃出审判!你认为上帝不在那儿吗?你认为上帝没有俯视这个国家吗?那还有什么可以解释这一切?他在试探我们,但我们熬过来了。我们做了我们必须做的。Islington. Enfield(专署名次)我就在那儿,我目睹了一些:移民、姆斯领、同性恋,恐怖分子、受到疾病折磨的人。他们必须从世界上离去。力量来自团结,团结来自信仰!我是个崇拜上帝的英国人。我这个人就是以上帝为荣!

(剑客V和Evey第一次邂逅的对白,注意V在那段长台词中有意识的用了很多V开头的单词,非常难理解!)
V: [Evey pulls out her mace] I can assure you I mean you no harm.
Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I’m not questioning your powers of observation I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Evey Hammond: Oh. Right.
V: 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.
V: Voil
