In part two, chapter eight, Winston and Julia visit O'Brien's apartment in an attempt to officially join the Brotherhood, which is a secret organization dedicated to overthrowing the government and the demise of Big Brother. After O'Brien pours Winston and Julia glasses of wine, he begins to question their loyalty and dedication to the Brotherhood's cause. O'Brien proceeds to ask Winston and Julia if they are prepared to commit murder, betray their country to foreign powers, or commit suicide if given the order. Both Winston and Julia obediently answer "yes" to all of O'Brien's questions. O'Brien then asks them if they are prepared to separate and never see each other again. Julia responds to his question by emphatically saying, "No!" (Orwell, 218). Julia's response is dramatic and solidifies her love for Winston. Winston is initially left speechless and eventually confirms Julia's answer by saying, "No."
