This *had* to be a pain to memorize

from V for Vendetta

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 it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone 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.

Other neat quotes/passages from the movie

Evey Hammond: Does it have a happy ending?
V: As only celluloid can deliver.

Creedy: Die! Why won't you die?
V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. There is an idea, Mr. Creedy - and ideas are bulletproof.

V: I killed you ten minutes ago while you slept.
Delia Surridge: Will there be pain?
V: No.

V: Never.
Delia Surridge: I'm so sorry.

V: Would you like to dance?
Evey Hammond: Now?! On the eve of your revolution?

Finch: If our own government was responsible for the deaths of almost a hundred thousand people... would you really want to know?

V: It is to Madame Justice I dedicate this concerto.

V: Fear became the ultimate tool of this government.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
