"You know, if I didn't live by a strict code of honour, I might take advantage of this situation." "Erotically, as it were." "All right." "Hold it right there." "Shit!" "My subway defence system." "He's way down there." "Ta-da!" " Yo, brain-dead... the manual!" " Oops!" "Hey!" "Truck!" "Find it?" "The phone's all right." "The problem must be somewhere else." "They had a large chunk of the garbage file?" " How much do they know?" " Enough to implicate us." "You said the worm was untraceable." "Yeah... to civilians." "But they're hackers." "Don't worry." "We just launch the da Vinci virus." " Then they'll all be put away." " Launch the da Vinci virus?" " You can't do that." " No-one believes the guilty." "By the time they realize the truth, we'll be long gone with all our money." "Look, there is no right and wrong." "There is only fun... and boring." "A 30-year prison sentence sounds pretty dull to me." "Who do you prefer serves it?" "Us... or them?" "Unless $5 million is transferred to the following account in seven days," "I will capsize five Ellingson tankers." "The virus goes off tomorrow at 10.30AM, and those hackers tried to get into our system again." "I insist you take more strenuous action or Ellingson Mineral will hold the Secret Service responsible." "Get me arrest warrants on Kate Libby, alias Acid Burn," "Emmanuel Goldstein, alias Cereal Killer," "Dade Murphy, alias Crash Override, also known as" "Zero Cool, and Paul Cook, alias Lord Nikon." "Pick them up tomorrow at 9.00AM." "Snoop on to them as they snoop on to us." " Yeah, it's Kate." " Hey, Burn." "We got a little problem." "So, what've we got?" "Well, 50 passwords, plus whatever Polaroid-head got inside Ellingson." "I got a lot, right?" "I don't know how many, but... my head hurts." "Yo, check this out." " What's a da Vinci virus?" " What?" "It's a memo about how they'll deal with the oil spills that happened on the 14th." "What oil spills?" " Brain-dead." "Today's the 13th." " Well, this hasn't happened yet." "The 14th is the day the worm ends it run." "Isn't the da Vinci virus what Phreak's being charged with?" "Look. 'Infecting ballast programs of Ellingson tankers'." "They blame hackers!" "Damn!" "A worm and a virus?" "The plot thickens." "Whoa, whoa!" "Where are you going?" "I got an idea." "We got a few hours until we're arrested." "Stay low." "I'm going to get help." "I'll beep you." "Are you coming?" "May the Force be with you, man." "There they are!" "Razor and Blade?" "!" "They're flakes!" "They're elite!" "Let's get 'em." "Get off the stage, man!" "Get off!" "I lost them!" "Where were you?" "I don't like this." "I definitely don't like this." "What do you want?" "We come in peace." "We need your help, if you're up to it." "She's buff." "Ballsy." "Let's keep her." "Waste the dude." "A virus called da Vinci will cause oil spills tomorrow at 10.30AM." "It's somehow connected to that worm." "We need you to overload the Gibson so we can kill da Vinci and copy the worm." "She's rabid... but cute." "See, we're very busy." "A TV network that wishes to remain nameless is interested in our show." "Let's go, Kate." "Wait." "Nobody said no." "But you will need more than just two media icons like us." "You need an army." "That's it." "An electronic army." "If I were us," "I'd get on the Internet, send out a major distress signal." "Hackers of the world, unite!" "How will you take care of the cops?" "I'm blowing up!" "It's Kate." "Grand Central." "Let's hit it!" "You're the man!" "You're the man!" "Joey, you made it!" "Okay." "Use your best viruses to buy us some time." "We must get in and copy the worm." "I had to do that to break the tension." " Cereal." "Go fix the phones." " Roger." "Joey, take his place." " Me?" " Take his place." "Do it." "You can do it." "Ready?" "Let's boot up." " What is it?" "What's wrong?" " Nothing." "Just a minor glitch." "A minor glitch with you seems to turn into a major catastrophe." "There's a new virus in the database." "What's happening?" "It's eating memory." "What do I do?" "Type 'cookie', you idiot." "I'll head them off at the pass." "We have a bug attacking all log-in files." "Run anti-virus." "Give me a systems display." "Die, dickweeds!" "A rabbit's in the system." "Send a flu shot." "Rabbit?" "Flu shot?" "Someone talk to me." "A rabbit replicates till it overloads a file then spreads like cancer." "Cancer?" "Row, row, row your boat" "Gently down the stream." "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily," "Life is but a dream." "Whoa!" "Falling off!" "It's a Gibson, it's finding us too fast." "There's too many garbage files." "I need more time." "They're at Grand Central station, lower level." "Don't screw up." "Get out of here!" "Everyone, let's move!" "Move it!" "Get the hell out of the way!" "Come on!" "Grand Central!" "Game's over." "Last chance to get out of this without a prison sentence." "You're not good enough to beat me." "Maybe I'm not." "But we are," " you asshole!" " Give it up!" "Just give it up." "Are we fashionably late?" "Okay, let's go!" "We have massive infection." "Multiple GPI viruses... ..from remote nodes." " They're going for the kernel." " Colonel who?" "The command processor." "The brain!" "Cancer, brain." "Brain cancer!" "What's going on?" "In short, Duke, a shitstorm." "Move!" "Go!" "I found it!" "I found it!" "This is the end, my friend." "Thank you for calling." "Shit!" "He got me!" "Joey's gettin' stupid busy." "Joey, go after the worm." "You're the closest." "It's root, slash, period, 'workspace', slash, period, 'garbage', period." "Out of the way!" "Out of the way!" "Freeze!" "Come on!" "All right!" "Wow!" "Kill the Gibson!" "Roger that." "Come on, you son of a bitch." "Is that all you got?" "Come on!" "Let's see what else you can do." "You talking to me, huh?" "Are you nuts?" "Come at me!" "They're in the kernel." "Help me!" "The tankers have stopped capsizing." "Ballast tanks emptying." "Should be okay." "Little pissant!" "Yes!" "Let's get outta here!" "Freeze!" "They're trashing our rights, man." "They're trashing the flow of data." "Trashing!" "Trashing!" "Trashing!" "Hack the planet!" " Hack the planet!" " Shut up and get in!" "Hack the planet!" "Hack the planet!" " Hello." " We caught them." " Good." " Red-handed." "You won't be having any more trouble from them." "Me, all right?" "I did it." "She knows shit about computers." "She's just my girlfriend." "I suggest you modify your attitude, because you are floating and I am about to flush your ass." "Mrs. Murphy is here to see you, sir." " Are you crazy?" "What are you doing?" " Trying to help you." " Dade." " What?" "Thanks for your help." "Your son is in big trouble." "He violated his probation and has engaged in criminal activities." "My son happens to be a genius." "He understands things that you won't comprehend if you live to be 100." "He would never use his knowledge to harm others." "The news crew you requested is here." "Good." "I have some things to tell them." "Your son is facing 30 felony counts in an ongoing investigation." "You face arrest if you do that." "I don't care if I face certain death." "Mrs. Murphy stays right here." "Wow." "She's great." "Yeah." "..and attacked the Ellingson network." "Is this the last we've seen of this kind of espionage?" "No." "Hackers are a grave threat to the national security." "This incident just proves that we need" " increased funding to stop..." " We're getting interference." "Hola, boys and girls." "It is I, Cereal Killer, making my first worldwide global television appearance." "Yes, that's right." "I'm here to tell you about this heinous scheme hatched within Ellingson Mineral." "But for what?" "World domination?" "Nay." "Something far more tacky." "A virus called da Vinci, that would cause Ellingson tankers to capsize, was to be blamed on innocent hackers." "This virus was really a smokescreen." "What could be so important to protect that someone would create such a nasty, anti-social, uncool virus program?" "But why?" "Could it be to cover the tracks of this worm program?" "A worm that was to steal 25 million bucks." "The password for this worm belongs to Margo Wallace," " head of Public Relations at Ellingson." " Oh, my God!" "And Eugene Belford," " computer security officer." " Son of a bitch!" "What's this?" "The account in the Bahamas where the money was to be stashed?" "I think so." "Unlucky!" "Yo." "I kinda feel like God." "Plague?" "Eugene?" "I don't even know how to work the VCR let alone a computer." "Get off!" "Listen, I'll make a deal." "Eugene Belford." "I know where his mother is." "Get off me!" "I need a lawyer!" "Here you are, Mr. Babbage." "Flight time to Tokyo is 14 hours." "Can I get you anything else?" "Just a pillow, please." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "What's going on?" "Let go of me!" "Stewardess!" "I'll never fly this airline again!" "You look good in a dress." "You would have looked better." "Wanna go for a swim?" "I can't believe they decided you won." "They didn't." "The guys felt it was the only way I'd get a date." "Anyway, you're pretty good." "You're elite." "Yeah?" "If you'd said that at the start, you would have avoided a lot of trouble." "Beat that!" "You know," " I've been having these weird..." "..dreams."
