Thank you.
No no no, thank YOU!
You look good in a dress.
You would have looked better.
Are you challenging me?
Name your stakes.
If I win, you become my slave.
Your slave?
You wish! You'll do shitwork, scan, crack copyrights...
And if I win?
Make it my first born!
Make it our first date!
I don't DO dates. But I don't lose either, so you're on!
Why'd he come to you?
I got a record! I was 'Zero Cool'!
Nikon Zero Cool? Crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day? Biggest crash in history, front page New York Times August 10th, 1988. I thought you was black man. YO THIS IS ZERO COOL!
Dade?
Yeah Ma?
What are you doing?
I'm taking over a TV Network.
Finish up honey, and get some sleep. Happy Birthday.
What did you learn in school today?
Revenge.
So, uh, what's your interest in Kate Libby, eh? Academic? Purely sexual?
Homicidal.
What's up, man? I'm the Phreak. [Dade simply looks at him] The "Phantom Phreak"? [Dade doesn't react] The "King of Nynex"? I know you play the game. [Starts to hand something to Dade] Here--
Phreak-Phreak-Phreak-Phreak-Phreak-Phreak! Dude-dude-dude-dude-dude-dude!
Joey, Joey! One more "dude" outta you, and I'mma slap the shit outta you, ok?! Now I keep trying to save you from yourself, but you gotta stop letting your mama dress you, man! You're hopeless!
Joey Look, I need a handle, ok? I don't have an identity if I don't have a handle.
You know, you're right about that. [Phreak turns to Dade again and hands him a flyer] Check it, Friday. [Dade looks at the flyer while Phreak leaves with Joey following after him]
Joey How about "The Master of Disaster"?
You're hopeless, man. Utterly hopeless.
Joey "Ultra Laser"? "Doctor Doom"?
I'd like to make a treaty with you.
I'm the one who understands you. Now, can we be allies?
Our recent unknown intruder penetrated using the superuser account, giving him access to our whole system.
Margo Precisely what you're paid to prevent.
Someone didn't bother reading my carefully prepared memo on commonly-used passwords. Now, then, as I so meticulously pointed out, the four most-used passwords are: love, sex, secret, and... [Plague looks directly at Margo, who glares right back at him] god. So, would your holiness care to change her password?
Nice place, huh? [They stop outside a door, which Phreak knocks on]
You guys ever hear of a hacker called "Acid Burn"? Do you know who he is?
...no. Don't know who he is. [To Cereal] Do you? [Cereal merely shrugs. The door finally opens, revealing a man wearing a hooded cloak]
Lord Nikon! This is... [Motions to Dade]
Crash Override.
Paul "Lord Nikon" Cook Never heard of you. Done anything?
No. [Nikon promptly slams the door shut]
Man, I hate this neighborhood.
Nikon What, did your mom buy you a 'puter for Christmas? [Scoffs before looking to Phreak] Does he know anything?
Sure, man. He's elite.
Nikon Come in. [Dade, Phreak, and Cereal enter, but Cereal pauses]
Yo, Nikon, can I crash at your place tonight?
Nikon Again? [Pushes his hood back to look at Cereal before eventually smiling and nodding] Yeah sure, man. [They both laugh and begin to mock-fight with one another, complete with exaggerated martial arts cries as Nikon shuts the door]
What is he doing here?
Relax, Burn. He's my guest.
Wait-wait-wait-wait! [Motions to Dade] "Crash [proceeds to motion to Kate] and Burn?!" [hoots and laughs]
FYI man, alright. You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That's a typo. Orwell is here now. He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless!
God wouldn't be up this late.
It's universally stupid, man!
Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
