Number Two : Good people, it is my pleasure to present to you the one and only Number Six!
Crowd : Rah!

Crowd : [laughs]
Number 6 : In some place, at some time, all of you held positions of a secret nature, and had knowledge that was invaluable to an enemy. Like me, you are here to have that knowledge protected or extracted.
Number Two : That's the stuff to give them.
Number 6 : Unlike me, many of you have accepted the situation of your imprisonment and will die here like rotten cabbages.
Number Two : Keep going. They love it.
Number 6 : The rest of you have gone over to the side of our keepers. Which is which? How many of each? Who's standing beside you now? I intend to discover who are the prisoners and who are the warders. I shall be running for office in this election.
