Alan [about the digitizing laser]
Great. Can it send me to Hawaii?
Yep, but you gotta purchase your program 30 days in advance.

Ha, ha. You've got to expect some static. After all, computers are just machines, they can't think.
Alan Some programs will be thinking soon.
Won't that be grand? All the computers and the programs will start thinking and the people will stop.
You know, Flynn has been thinking about breaking into the system ever since Dillinger canned him. And he had Group 7 access.
Alan [sour]
Flynn had access to you, too.
Alan [about Flynn]
The best programmer ENCOM ever had, and he ends up playing Space Cowboy in some back room.
Have you been sneaking into the ENCOM system?
[to Lora]
You were never much for small talk, were you? [to Alan] Does she still leave her clothes all over the floor?
Flynn!
Alan No!
Alan!
Alan I mean, not that often.
Touche! Touche.
Alan Flynn, are you embezzling?
"Embezzling" is such an ugly word, Mr. Bradley.
Alan You invented Space Paranoids?
Paranoids, Matrix Blaster, Vice Squad, a whole slew of them. I was this close to starting my own little enterprise, man. But enter another software engineer. Not so young, not so bright, but very, very sneaky: Ed Dillinger. So one night, our boy Flynn, he goes to his terminal, tries to read up his file. I get nothing on there, it's a big blank. Okay, now we take you three months later. Dillinger presents Encom with five video games, that he's invented. The slime didn't even change the names, man, and he gets a big fat promotion! And thus begins his meteoric rise to, what is he now? Executive V.P.?
Senior exec.
Senior exec? [sighs] Meanwhile, the kids are putting eight million quarters a week into Paranoids machines. I don't see a dime except what I squeeze out of here.
Alan I still don't understand why you want to break into the system.
[frustrated]
Because, man, somewhere in one of these memories is the evidence! If I could just get in there, I could reconstruct it!
Alan [Alan is watching Flynn use his fake access card on a door]
This guy's a little like Santa Claus.
I make these myself. Want one?
Alan Try to look official. Here comes the boss.
[A helicopter lands, and Flynn steps out] [to pilot]
Pick me up in an hour. Thanks. [to Alan and Lora] Greetings, Programs! [hugs them]
