V- Who?Who is but the form following the function of what...and what I am is a man in a mask.
E- Oh, 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.
E- 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.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.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.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
E- Are you, like, a crazy person?
V- I am quite sure they will say so.But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking?
E- I'm Evey.
V- Evey?E-vey. Of course you are.
E- What does that mean?
V- It means that I, like God...do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.

E-你是谁？
V-谁？“谁”只是代表了一个人罢了，而我这个人，如你所见，是个戴面具的男人。
E-这我看得出。
V-当然你看得出，我不是质疑你的观察力，只是指出你问一个戴面具的人他是谁，有点矛盾。
E-也对。
V-但是在这个特别的夜晚，允许我，抛弃那些不入流的假名……来介绍真正的主角。就这样！如你所见，我是一位卑微的戏子……在命运的摆弄下既扮演受害者又扮演施暴者。这面具，不仅仅是虚假的外表，而是人民呼声的残迹，那呼声已经渐渐虚弱，快要消失。但是，过去罪孽引来的天惩即将降临，誓言要诛杀那些腐臭堕落的寄生虫……把审判降临于罪与贪婪。唯一的判决将是复仇，仇杀……这报复绝非徒劳，它的意义就在于维护正直与善良。这浆糊般的废话确实太过冗长，那么让我再补充一句，认识你是我的荣幸……你可以叫我；V。
E-你……是个疯子吗？
V-我想大多数人都会这么认为，但是，请问，我在和谁说话？
E-我的名字是Evey。
V-Evey？E-vey。当然
E-这话什么意思？
V-意思是我，如同上帝一样，不玩掷筛子的游戏也不相信巧合。
