WarGames - Debating a Swim to an Island
David: [runs ahead for a moment and stops]
I think I saw one. What kind of an asshole lives on an island and he doesn't even have a boat?
Jennifer:
Maybe we can swim for it. How far do you think it is?
David:
No. It's uh, two, three miles at least. Maybe more.
Jennifer:
Well, what do you say? Let's go for it!
David:
No.
Jennifer: [starts to remove her shoes]
Come on!
David: [pause]
No! I can't swim.
Jennifer:
You can't swim?
David:
No, I can't, okay, Wonder Woman? I can't swim!
Jennifer:
Well, what kind of an asshole grows up in Seattle and doesn't even know how to swim?
David:
I never got around to it, okay? I always thought there was gonna be plenty of time!
Jennifer:
Sorry.
David:
I wish I didn't know about any of this! I wish I was like everybody else in the world, and tomorrow it would just be over. There wouldn't be any time to be sorry... about anything. Oh, Jesus! I really wanted to learn how to swim! I swear to God I did.

WarGames - The Cycle of Nature and Human Mistakes
Stephen Falken:
Now, children, come on over here. I'm going to tell you a bedtime story. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Once upon a time, there lived a magnificent race of animals that dominated the world through age after age. They ran, they swam, and they fought and they flew, until suddenly, quite recently, they disappeared. Nature just gave up and started again. We weren't even apes then. We were just these smart little rodents hiding in the rocks. And when we go, nature will start again. With the bees, probably. Nature knows when to give up, David.
David:
I'm not giving up. If Joshua tricks them into launching an attack, it'll be your fault.
Stephen Falken:
My fault? The whole point was to practice nuclear war without destroying ourselves; to get the computer to learn from mistakes we could not afford to make. Except, that I never could get Joshua to learn the most important lesson.
David:
What's that?
Stephen Falken:
Futility. That there's a time when you should just give up.
Jennifer:
What kind of a lesson is that?
Stephen Falken: [[w:Tic-Tac-Toe|tic-tac-toe]
Did you ever play ]?
Jennifer:
Yeah, of course.
Stephen Falken:
But you don't anymore.
Jennifer:
No.
Stephen Falken:
Why?
Jennifer:
Because it's a boring game. It's always a tie.
Stephen Falken:
Exactly. There's no way to win. The game itself is pointless! But back in the war room, they believe you can win a nuclear war. That there can be "acceptable losses.

Yeah. Weird isn't it? Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?

WOULDN'T YOU PREFER A GOOD GAME OF CHESS?
David:
Later. Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.

FINE.

WarGames - Asexual Reproduction Discussion in Class
Mr. Liggett:
Now there seems to be a lot of confusion on this next question: asexual reproduction. Could someone tell me please who first suggested the idea of reproduction without sex?
David: [whispers something to a classmate]
Ah-heh.
Mr. Liggett:
Miss Mack! What is so amusing?
Jennifer:
I...
Mr. Liggett:
Alright, Lightman. Maybe you could tell us who first suggested the idea of reproduction without sex.
David:
Umm... Your wife?
Mr. Liggett: [pointing to the door]
Get out, Lightman. Get out.
