V for Vendetta - V's Introductory Monologue

DISCLAIMER: No Copyright Infringement Intended. V's alliterative introductory monologue upon meeting Evey from the movie V FOR VENDETTA

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I can assure you, I mean you no harm.

-"Who are you?"

Who? Who is but the form following the function of what; and what I am is a man in a mask.

-"Oh, I can see that."

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. 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 honour to meet you and you may call me V.

I think you misspelled or misheard something here... I THINK he says vicious, not vichyssoise (which is a soup made from leeks), and I think vicious makes more sense in the context of the movie. If you were watching the movie with the subtitles and know for a fact that I'm wrong, then feel free to completely disregard this.

@ryushokikijo He does in fact say "vichyssoise" whose beginning sounds like the beginning of vicious. Also, vicious actually does not make sense in the context. "vichyssoise of verbiage" is meant to say something like "a soup of extraneous words". Thanks for the comment. :)

Complete monologue is in the description, in case you want to read it :)

Why do i get the feeling that Hugo Weaving really rather enjoyed playing this guy?

[BuGBurnout]

[lovethefab4ever]

so glad to have seen this movie and let me say that I cant beleve it took me seven years to see it!

[celicast182]

the pure eloquence of this character makes me proud to speak and understand the English language... having said that he does sound so much more menacing when he says "Mr Anderson..."

[ryushokikijo]

@AmFilms123 Well that does make some more sense, thanks for clearing that up.

@holland820 V's introduction to Evey is a monologue containing 48 words beginning with the letter "V", and containing a total of 52 letter "V"s. @ApocalypticLacrymosa Yep, I'll agree with that. Sexay much.

@chikinlover69 He also forgot vehement, I believe, and that would've been a good V word.
