Quotes
-
Kevin Flynn : Life has a way of moving you past wants and hopes.
-
Kevin Flynn : I had a feeling you'd be here.
Clu : The cycles haven't been kind, have they?
Kevin Flynn : No, you don't look so bad.
Clu : I did everything... everything you ever asked!
Kevin Flynn : I know you did.
Clu : I executed the plan!
Kevin Flynn : As you saw it...
Clu : You- You promised that we would change the world, together. You broke your promise...
Kevin Flynn : I know. I understand that now.
Clu : I took this system to its maximum potential. I created the perfect system!
Kevin Flynn : The thing about perfection is that it's unknowable. It's impossible, but it's also right in front of us all the time. You wouldn't know that because I didn't when I created you. I'm sorry, Clu. I'm sorry...
-
Kevin Flynn : It's amazing how productive doing nothing can be.
-
Kevin Flynn : Bio-digital jazz, man.
-
[first lines]
Kevin Flynn : The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...
7 Year Old Sam Flynn : You got in.
Kevin Flynn : That's right, man. I got in.
-
Sam Flynn : Your disc. Dad, it's gone.
Kevin Flynn : It is.
Sam Flynn : I'm sorry. I know I messed up. We can go back. I can go back.
Kevin Flynn : No, we stay together.
Sam Flynn : Dad, I can do this.
Kevin Flynn : You've done enough already! Sam, you're really...
[pause]
Kevin Flynn : You're messing with my Zen thing, man.
-
Sam Flynn : You remember that night when you didn't come home? You said...
Kevin Flynn : I said I'd show you the Grid. Should have seen this place back then. Couldn't wait to show it to you.
Sam Flynn : Must have been something before Clu screwed it up.
Kevin Flynn : No, no, he's... he's me. I screwed it up, chasing after perfection, chasing after what was right in front of me.
[turns to look at Sam]
Kevin Flynn : Right in front of me.
Sam Flynn : Look what you've accomplished. It's incredible.
Kevin Flynn : [puts his hand on Sam's shoulder] Sam... I'd have given it all up for one more day with you.
-
Kevin Flynn : The only way to win the game is not to play.
-
Clu : Flynn! Am I still to create the perfect system?
Kevin Flynn : ...Yeah?
-
Sam Flynn : [about Quorra] She risked herself for me.
Kevin Flynn : Some things are worth the risk.
-
Kevin Flynn : In there is a new world! In there is our future! In there is our destiny!
-
Kevin Flynn : [sees Sam rescue Quorra] Radical, man.
-
Kevin Flynn : [as he's being chased by Tron] Tron, what have you become?
Tron : Flynn, go!
-
Kevin Flynn : [to Sam] Your old man's about to knock on the sky and listen to the sound.
-
Jarvis : [to Clu after the introductions on the light cycle grid] Excellent words, sir. Were you pleased with my execution? The crowd seemed quite energized.
Clu : It wasn't meant for them.
[the baton case opens and Clu picks his baton out of it. Jarvis turns to Sam, holding the case out as if to avoid standing near him. Sam picks out the other baton]
Sam Flynn : What's this? What do you do with this?
[holding it like a sword]
Jarvis : I'll give you a hint, not that.
-
Kevin Flynn : My disk is everything, Sam. It's the master key, the golden ticket. The way out. And not just for me.
Sam Flynn : What do you mean?
Kevin Flynn : Our worlds are more connected than anyone knows. Clu figures if I can be in...
Sam Flynn : He can be out?
Kevin Flynn : With my disk, it's possible.
Sam Flynn : And then what?
Kevin Flynn : Game over. The guy doesn't dig imperfection. What's more imperfect than our world?
-
Sam Flynn : [after Quorra runs off] What's she doing?
Kevin Flynn : Taking herself out of the equation.
-
Sam Flynn : [about Quorra's programming] She's an ISO.
Kevin Flynn : Yeah. The last ISO.
Sam Flynn : All this time, you were just protecting her.
Kevin Flynn : She's the miracle, man. Everything I ever worked for. "A digital frontier to reshape the human condition."
Sam Flynn : I always thought that was a plug line.
Kevin Flynn : In our world, she can change everything.
-
Sam Flynn : Ice caps are melting, war in the Middle East, Lakers/Celtics back at it. I don't know, rich are getting richer, poor are getting poorer. Cell phones, online dating, Wi-fi.
Kevin Flynn : What's Wi-fi?
Sam Flynn : Wireless interlinking.
Kevin Flynn : Of digital devices?
Sam Flynn : Yeah.
Kevin Flynn : Huh. I thought of that in '85.
[both laugh]
-
Sam Flynn : Dad?
Clu : Sam. Look at you, man! Look at the size of you! How did you get in here?
Sam Flynn : I got your message.
Clu : Oh. So it's just you?
Sam Flynn : Yeah.
Clu : Just you. Oh.
[chuckles]
Clu : Isn't this something?
Sam Flynn : You look the same.
Clu : A lot's happened, Sam. More than you can imagine.
[holds out his hand]
Clu : Disc.
[Rinzler removes Sam's disc and hands it to Clu, who briefly scans it]
Clu : Got it. Hmm. I expected more.
[tosses the disc back to Rinzler]
Sam Flynn : So... you were trapped in here?
Clu : That's right.
Sam Flynn : And you're in charge?
Clu : Right again. You're two for two.
Sam Flynn : So can we just go home now?
Clu : Not in the cards. Not for you.
Sam Flynn : [frowns] That's a hell of a way to treat your son.
Clu : Oh, that.
[walks forward until he's face to face with Sam]
Clu : I'm not your father, Sam. But I'm very, very happy to see you.
-
Kevin Flynn : Clu! Remember what you came for.
[Bridge retracts as Clu approaches Kevin Flynn]
Sam Flynn : [Clu punches Kevin Flynn] Dad!
Clu : I knew I beat you, and still you did all this, for him?
[identity disc reveals Quorra's face]
Clu : No... no, why?
Kevin Flynn : He's my son!
[Clu throws the disc down by Kevin Flynn and leaps across the retracted bridge]
Kevin Flynn : Go!
Sam Flynn : Dad!
Kevin Flynn : [Rectifier approaches the portal] Sam! It's time!
Quorra : Sam, it's what he wants!
Sam Flynn : I'm not leaving you!
Kevin Flynn : Take her!
[Quorra hands Sam Flynn the disc, he raises the disc into the eye of the portal]
Kevin Flynn : Yes!
[flashback of Sam skipping a rock as a child]
Kevin Flynn : [crying] Goodbye, kiddo.
Clu : [Clu manages to get onto the other side of the bridge and runs towards the portal, Kevin Flynn uses mass integration to force pull Clu into himself] No!
[Mass integration causes huge explosion that destroys the Rectifer and the portal at the same split second Sam and Quorra get out]
-
[from trailer]
runaway : You won, OK? This is just a *game!*
Clu : Not any more.
[kills the runaway]
-
Clu : Out there is a new world! Out there is our victory! Out there is our destiny!
-
Kevin Flynn : You got this, Quorra. It's all in the wrists.
-
Clu : Your move, Flynn. Come on! Come on!
-
Light Jet Sentry : Identify yourself.
Kevin Flynn : I'm taking this vehicle.
Light Jet Sentry : You're not authorized.
[Flynn hits the guard on his head]
Light Jet Sentry : Right away, sir. Watch your step please as you board the aircraft.
-
Kevin Flynn : Wait, what's your plan?
Sam Flynn : I'm a User, I'll improvise.
-
Quorra : Light jets. Here they come.
Kevin Flynn : Sam, take the turret.
Sam Flynn : Huh?
[Sam's seat rolls backward to a mounted gun turret]
Sam Flynn : Man, I'm all over this.
-
Clu : Kevin Flynn! Where are you now?
-
Kevin Flynn : I'm sure you must have a lot of questions.
Sam Flynn : [pointedly] Actually, just one.
Kevin Flynn : Why I never came home. Those nights when I went to the office, I'm sure you've figured it out by now, I was coming here. Human form in digital space. Heavy stuff. But I also had you. I had ENCOM. I couldn't be in here all the time. I needed partners to help out.
Sam Flynn : TRON and CLU?
Kevin Flynn : That's right. TRON was created by Alan for the old system. I brought him here to protect this one. CLU was my creation. A program designed to create a perfect world. We were jamming, man, building utopia. Hours in here were just minutes back home. Just when I thought it couldn't get more profound, something unexpected happened.
Sam Flynn : The miracle.
Kevin Flynn : The miracle. You remember. ISOs. Isomorphic algorithms. A whole new life form.
Sam Flynn : And you created them?
Kevin Flynn : [laughs] No. No. They manifested... like a flame. They weren't really from anywhere. The conditions were right and they came into being. For centuries, we've dreamed of gods, spirits, aliens; an intelligence far beyond our own. I found them in here. Like flowers in a wasteland. Profoundly naive. Unimaginably wise.
[chuckles]
Kevin Flynn : They were spectacular. Everything I'd hoped to find in the system - control, order, perfection - none of it meant a thing. I'd been living in a hall of mirrors. The ISOs shattered it. The possibilities of their root code, their digital DNA. Disease? History! Science, philosophy! Every idea man has ever had about the universe up for grabs! Bio-digital jazz, man. The ISOs, they were going to be my gift to the world.
Sam Flynn : What happened?
Kevin Flynn : [frowning] CLU. CLU happened.
