Winston Smith
I know you'll fail. Something in this world... some spirit you will never overcome...
O'Brien
What is it, this principle?
Winston Smith
I don't know. The spirit of man.
O'Brien
And do you consider yourself a man?
Winston Smith
Yes.
O'Brien
If you're a man, Winston, you're the last man. Your kind is extinct. We are the inheritors. Do you realize that you are alone? You are outside history. You unexist. Get up.
O'Brien
[Winston gets up and O'Brien shows him his reflection in a mirror. Winston is disheveled and beaten]
That is the last man. If you are human, that is humanity.
