Episode Notes
 
93 is intended to be Number 6 (Patrick McGoohan) from the original series. His clothing is the same jacket and slacks that McGoohan's character wore in the original series, his memory-drawing is of Big Ben in London, and his flat is similar in design and decoration to the one that McGoohan's character had in the original.

Episode Quotes
 
93: You're... you're not from here.
6: I don't even know how I got to this place.
93: You... are... miracle! Be seeing you.
 
6: Where is this place?
147: This... it's the Village.
6: Yeah, but what village?
147: Hey, man, what gives with you--this is the Village, and I do local destinations.
 
M2: Uh, specials tonight are Beef Noodle Wrap and Feta Warm Salad Wrap, and for dessert, we have my own favorite, Cinnamon Fig and Honey Wrap.
6: Do you have anything that's not a wrap?
M2: Why would we?
 
2: You know you are Six.
6: Please, I'm nobody. I don't know anything, please!
2: But you do. You are Six. You are Village. The truth is right inside you, Six.
 
6: I don't want your help, lady. I want to get the hell out of here.
313: Look, here's what's going to happen--I'm gonna fetch you a cold drink and then, someone is going to take you home. You're a free man.
 
2: Look, see how the sun makes it all glow? Kind of day that makes you glad to be alive.
6: Why are you keeping me here?
2: I see no locked doors.
6: Well, they were after me.
2: Ooo, sounds terribly ominous.
 
6: You can't do this to me! I don't care who you are--do you hear me?!? Now, I wanna get back to New York.
2: Well, that's not possible... there is no New York. There is only the Village.
 
Shopkeeper: Buy one, get one free.
6: What the hell would I want with two maps?
Shopkeeper: Makes a perfect gift.
 
Shopkeeper: You crack me up, Six.
6: You've not seen me before.
Shopkeeper: No, sir. You, I would remember.
6: But you know my...
Shopkeeper: Welcome to the Village. Everybody knows everybody. Be seein' ya!
 
2: Take a look outside, Six. People going about their lives, strolling in the sun, sitting together in the park, or anywhere where they might choose to sit together. They take a scooter ride, go dancing, enjoy a beer in the cafe, while they gaze about the Village. Contented. Hopeful. Every day above ground is a good day.
 
6: Well... I want out.
2: You tried that! There is no "out." There is only "in."
 
2: I pity you, Six. You refuse to open your mind to the possibility that you're wrong.
6: If I open my mind, you'll take it away from me.
2: We might... but we will always give it back.
 
6: Do something for me, will ya? Lie down beside me.
313: Uh, you're supposed to be trying to convince me you're sane.
 
6: A hundred billion stars, over and over, billions of galaxies, and that's just what we can see. Can you honestly tell me that the Village is all that there is?
313: Of course not. Has to be life out there somewhere. Perhaps, another Village.
 
147: Hey, man--need a cab?
6: Why would I need a cab if I'm going into a cafe?
147: Well, you know, people who go into cafes come outta cafes. And sometimes they might need a cab.
6: Well, I don't know if I'll need a cab. Why are you hassling me anyway?
147: Hey, Six... I like ya--you're a likable man. And I like giving rides in my cab to people I like. Sometimes, being nice is, uh, just being nice.
 
6: I will find a way to escape! Do you hear me? I am not a number! I'm a free man!
