    Default 1984 Looking for a quote

    First off, when I say 1984, I mean the book and not the year if there are any playgrounders out there that don't know of the novel's existence (just felt like I had to say that).

    Second, the quote is from Winston (or whatever the main character's name is; haven't read it in awhile and I remember it being Winston) after he's been arrested and is being tortured. It's during the part when they're about to release a rat into a cage around his head to gnaw his face off when he starts shouting something like "No! Don't do it to me! Do it to Julia." I think that's what his romantic interest was, Julia? Like I said, haven't read in a few years and don't have a copy on me now so sorry if I get the names wrong. Anyway, I'm looking for the full quote of what he said. Thanks for anyone that can be of help.

    May I suggest that you either put a [spoiler] warning in the heading, or spoiler most of your question?
    I know the bit you mean, but unfortunately don't have a copy. I'll do a quick 'net search, though...

    edit: My. God.

    Think I've found it, anyway.

    Cool. Thanks everyone.

    It's weird. I remember it being longer. Oh well.
