You're getting brutal, Sark. Brutal and needlessly sadistic.
Sark Thank you, Master Control.
We've captured some military programs. I could arrange more lethal matches. Interested?
Sark Sure. I'd love to go up against one of those guys. Make a nice break from those accounting cream puffs you keep sending me. What branch of the service?
The Strategic Air Command.
Sark Nice.
I've got a little challenge for you, Sark - a new recruit. He's a tough case, but I want him treated in the usual manner. Train him for the games, let him hope for a while, then blow him away.
Sark You got it. I've been hoping you'd send me somebody with a little bit of guts. What kind of Program is he?
He's not any kind of Program, Sark. He's a User.
Sark A User?
That's right. He pushed me in the real world. Someone pushes me, I push back, so I brought him down here. [brief pause] What's the matter, Sark? You look nervous.
Sark Well, I... it's just... a User, I mean... Users wrote us. A User even wrote you!
No one User wrote me. I'm worth millions of their man-years.
Sark But what if I can't—
You'd rather take your chances with me? Want me to slow down your power cycles for you?
Sark Wait! I need that!
Then pull yourself together! Get this clown trained! I want him in the games until he dies playing. Acknowledge.
Sark Acknowledged, Master Control...
End of Line. [restores Sark]
Sark Greetings. The Master Control Program has chosen you to serve your system on the Game Grid. Those of you who continue to profess a belief in the Users will receive the standard substandard training, which will result in your eventual elimination. Those of you who renounce this superstitious and hysterical belief will be eligible to join the Warrior Elite of the MCP. You will each receive an identity disc. [displays a disc to the crowd] Everything you do or learn will be imprinted on this disc. If you lose your disc or fail to follow commands, you will be subject to immediate de-resolution. That will be all.
Sark Finish the game!
NO!
Sark Kill him!
No! [drops the ball]
Sark You'll regret this.
I want him in the games until he dies playing.
[Sark presses a different button, restoring Flynn's platform and allowing him to be led out of the arena]
Sark The tower guardian is helping him...he thinks. Bring in the logic probe!
Sark Had enough?
Sark Busy dying, you worn out excuse for an old program?
Yes, I'm old... old enough to remember the MCP when it was just a chess program. He started small and he'll end small!
Sark Very funny, Dumont – maybe I should keep you around just to make me laugh!
Commander, you've enjoyed all the power you've been given, haven't you? I wonder how you'll take to working in a pocket calculator.
Sark We did take care of that User you sent us...
With incompetence here, and now you've got two renegade programs flying all over the system in a stolen simulation.
Sark We'll get them. It's only a matter of time.
You've almost reached your decision gate, and I cannot spare you any more time. End of Line. [releases Sark]
Sark's Lieutenant Sir, what do you want done with the Tower Guardian, Dumont? Put him with the others?
Sark No, bit-brain. Prepare him for inquisition; I need a little bit of relaxation. First, rez up the Carrier for pursuit. One other thing: Don't think anymore. I do the thinking around here.
Dumont!
Yori! And... Tron?
Tron is dead.
Who is that?
That is a User, Dumont. He came here to help us. Tron believed in him.
If the Users can no longer help us, we're lost.
Sark So, we have erased that program... No. You were de-rezzed. I saw you.
Not me, Sark.
Sark There's nothing special about you. You're just an ordinary program.
So are you; one that should have been erased.
Sark You're nothing! Take that program to the holding pit!!
Please, don't take...
Sark Taking our friend here, and some other religious fanatics, to Master Control. When I disembark, this ship, and everything that remains on board will automatically de-rezz. This means you.
Sark I don't know how you survived, slave. It doesn't matter. Prepare to terminate! [hurls his disc at Tron. He blocks Sark's attack and throws his disc at Sark, who blocks it in turn] You should have joined me. We would have made a great team! [they each throw their discs at each other. The discs collide in mid-air] You're very persistent, Tron!
I'm also better than you!
[Sark pauses, and Tron hurls his disc at Sark with great force. It shatters Sark's disc and cuts through the top of his head, causing him to fall to the ground.]
