So, uh, what's your interest in Kate Libby, eh? Academic? Purely sexual?
Dade 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--
Joey Pardello
[runs up to Phreak and Dade, frantically]
Phreak-Phreak-Phreak-Phreak-Phreak-Phreak! Dude-dude-dude-dude-dude-dude!
[smacks Joey a few times to calm him down]
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"?
Mrs. Murphy
What did you learn in school today?
Dade Revenge.
[Dade, Phreak, and Cereal Killer arrive at an apartment building. The hallway they are in is marked heavily with graffiti]
Nice place, huh? [They stop outside a door, which Phreak knocks on]
Dade 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]
Dade Crash Override.
Paul "Lord Nikon" Cook Never heard of you. Done anything?
Dade No. [Nikon promptly slams the door shut]
Man, I hate this neighborhood.
Nikon [Opens the door and sneers at Dade, asking mockingly]
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 [Regards Dade once more before stepping aside]
Come in. [Dade, Phreak, and Cereal enter, but Cereal pauses]
Yo, Nikon, can I crash at your place tonight?
Nikon [sternly]
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]
I'd like to make a treaty with you.
Dade [confused]
I'm sorry, who are you?
I'm the one who understands you. Now, can we be allies?
Dade [Ponders a moment before responding defiantly]
Naaah. I don't play well with others.
Why'd he come to you?
Dade 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!
Are you challenging me?
Dade Name your stakes.
If I win, you become my slave.
Dade Your slave?
You wish! You'll do shitwork, scan, crack copyrights...
Dade And if I win?
Make it my first born!
Dade Make it our first date!
I don't DO dates. But I don't lose either, so you're on!
Dade You look good in a dress.
You would have looked better.
[Kate has seen that Dade is at her party and is not pleased] [points at Dade while angrily addressing Phreak]
What is he doing here?
Relax, Burn. He's my guest.
Dade [realizing who Kate really is]
"Burn", you're Acid Burn. You booted me out of OTV.
Dade [offers a handshake to Kate]
I'm Crash Override.
[clearly amused as he steps between Kate and Dade]
Wait-wait-wait-wait! [Motions to Dade] "Crash [proceeds to motion to Kate] and Burn?!" [hoots and laughs]
