Sam Lowry:
Excuse me, Dawson, can you put me through to Mr. Helpmann's office?
Dawson:
I'm afraid I can't sir. You have to go through the proper channels.
Sam Lowry:
And you can't tell me what the proper channels are, because that's classified information?
Dawson:
I'm glad to see the Ministry's continuing its tradition of recruiting the brightest and best, sir.
Sam Lowry:
Thank you, Dawson.

Summary: Low-level bureaucrat Sam Lowry escapes the monotony of his day-to-day life through a recurring daydream of himself as a virtuous hero saving a beautiful damsel. Investigating a case that led to the wrongful arrest and eventual death of an innocent man instead of wanted terrorist Harry Tuttle, he meets the woman from his daydream, and in trying to help her gets caught in a web of mistaken identities, mindless bureaucracy and lies.
