Hammer into Anvil


Number Two: Du musst amboss oder Hammer sein.
Number Six: You must be anvil or hammer.
Number Two: I see you know your Goethe.
Number Six: And you see me as the anvil?
Number Two: Precisely. I am going to hammer you.

I haven't seen this episode in decades, and
I'm not watching it now, but #6 should reply
that the blacksmith has many hammers but
only one anvil.


The Village goes through more #2s than Al Queda.

Interestingly enough George Orwell, himself very much anti Big Brother; wrote of the Goethe analogy and said, 'invariably, its the Anvil that breaks the hammer'.
