Quotes
-
Quorra : [showing Sam his father's book collection] Flynn shared them with me. I've read them all.
Sam Flynn : Huh. Light reading. Tolstoy, Dovstoyevski, I Ching. "Journey Without a Goal". Must have a killer ending.
Quorra : Flynn is teaching me about the art of the selfless. About removing oneself from the equation. But between you and me, Jules Verne is my favorite. Do you know Jules Verne?
Sam Flynn : Sure.
Quorra : [delighted] What's he like?
-
[from trailer]
Sam Flynn : Alan, you're acting like I'm going to find him sittin' at work, just, "Hey, kiddo, lost track of time."
Alan Bradley : Wouldn't that be something.
-
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 can't steal something that's designed to be given away free.
-
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.
-
Sam Flynn : [about Quorra] She risked herself for me.
Kevin Flynn : Some things are worth the risk.
-
Sam Flynn : [Alan has come to visit Sam in his storage container/apartment, which has "Dumont Shipping" on the outside and overlooks the harbor] Why are you here, Alan?
Alan Bradley : [holds up his pager] I was paged last night.
Sam Flynn : Oh, man, still rocking the pager? Good for you.
Alan Bradley : [looks down at the pager and smiles, then back to Sam] Yeah, your Dad once told me I had to sleep with it, and I still do. Page came from your Dad's office at the arcade.
Sam Flynn : [looking at a magazine, pauses] So?
[puts the magazine down]
Alan Bradley : So? That number's been disconnected for twenty years. Sam, two nights before he disappeared, he came to my house. "I've cracked it," he kept saying. He said he was about genetic algorithms, quantum teleportation. He said he was about to change everything. Science, medicine, religion. He wouldn't have left that, Sam.
[sits down next to Sam and playfully punches him in the arm]
Alan Bradley : He wouldn't have left you.
-
Sam Flynn : [the Sirens have formed a circle around Sam] Uh, can somebody tell me what the...
Sam Flynn : [two of the Sirens hold up their pointer fingers which light up and begin dragging their finger down Sam's sides which cut away Sam's clothes] ... Hey, Hey. It's got a zipper...
Sam Flynn : [a new uniform materializes over Sam] This can't be good.
Computer Voice : Attention, Program. You will receive, an identity disc. 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.
Siren Jem : [the identity disc is attached to Sam's back, Sam's eyes flash] Marrying complete, disc activated and syncronized, proceed to games.
Sam Flynn : Games?
[the Sirens back away and return to their compartments. Sam sees one of the Sirens hesitating before stepping into her chamber]
Sam Flynn : What am I supposed to do?
Siren Jem : Survive.
-
Sam Flynn : Now that is a big door.
-
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?
-
Castor : Greetings, Program! I'm Castor! Your host. Provider of any and all, entertainment and diversions.
[bows]
Castor : At your service.
Sam Flynn : [nods] I'm looking for Zuse.
Castor : [smiles] Indeed.
[raises eyebrows]
Castor : Many are.
Sam Flynn : Where can I find him?
Castor : This, prettiness,
[takes Sam by the arm]
Castor : is a conversation best had behind closed doors. Perhaps we should retire to my private lounge.
[Sam and Castor step forward, glowing steps materialize in front of them which lead up]
Castor : Ah! Designed it myself, you know. It's true! I'm steppin' away for moment, boys!
[motions to the DJs in the window above with a flourish of his cane]
Castor : Change the scheme, alter the mood. Electrify the boys and girls if you'd be so kind.
-
Sam Flynn : [after Quorra runs off] What's she doing?
Kevin Flynn : Taking herself out of the equation.
-
Sam Flynn : [notices his Disk Wars opponent] I have a three-inch version of you on my shelf!
Announcer : Combatants Three and Eleven - Disc Wars.
Disc Opponent #1 : [ignites Identity Disk and throws it at Sam, narrowly missing]
Sam Flynn : You definitely didn't do that!
-
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]
-
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.
-
Quorra : [Sam has just been rescued by Quorra. She holds out her hand in a handshake while driving] I'm Quorra!
Sam Flynn : [looks back at the pursuing light cycles] They're turning around!
Quorra : Not by choice. Their vehicles aren't designed to go off grid. They'll not function on this terrain.
Sam Flynn : What about us?
Quorra : [laughs] Obviously not.
Sam Flynn : Where are you taking me?
Quorra : Patience, Sam Flynn. All of your questions will be answered soon.
-
Quorra : [talking to Sam, in Flynn's guest room at his safehouse] There's someone I once knew. A program named Zuse, who fought alongside the ISOs. I, haven't seen him in a long time. But they say, he still runs the underground, manages the dissident factions, forges data, for the rogue programs. Moves them around the grid. They say he can get anyone, anywhere.
Sam Flynn : Where do I find him?
Quorra : [hands Sam a glowing data disc] This is his sector. Make it there alive, and he'll find you.
-
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.
