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!

Emmanuel "Cereal Killer" Goldstein Yo....I kinda feel like God!
Emmanuel "Cereal Killer" Goldstein Listen, we got a higher purpose here, alright? A wakeup call for the Nintendo Generation. We demand free access to data, well, it comes with some responsibility. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things. [Pause] What...

Scenes with Emmanuel "Cereal Killer" Goldstein
2 scenes Cereal Killer [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]
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]
Cereal 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]
Cereal 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]
[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.
Cereal [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]
