A scene from V for Vendetta 2006
Delia

After what happened, after what they did, I thought about killing myself. But I knew that one day you'd come for me. I didn't know what they were going to do. I swear to you. Read my journal.

V

What they did was only possible because of you.

Delia

Oppenheimer was able to change more than the course of a war. He changed the entire course of human history. Is it wrong to hold on to that kind of hope?

V

I've not come for what you hoped to do. I've come for what you did.

Delia

It's funny. I was given one of your roses today. I wasn't sure you were the terrorist until I saw it. What a strange coincidence that I should be given one today.

V

There are no coincidences, Delia. Only the illusion of coincidence. I have another rose [takes one out], and this one is for you. [hands it to her]

Delia

Are you going to kill me now?

V

I killed you ten minutes ago. [holds up a small hypodermic needle] While you slept.

Delia

[frightened]

Is there any pain?

V

No.

Delia

Thank you. [pauses briefly] Is it meaningless to apologise?

V

Never.

Delia

[quietly]

I'm so sorry.
