Garrett HedlundQuotes

Ronsel Jackson: So, what about you? What's the worst thing you ever done?

Jamie McAllan: Who, me? I'm a saint.

Ronsel Jackson: [scoffs] I bet. I bet.

Jamie McAllan: You tanker boys ever piss in your helmets?

Ronsel Jackson: [coughs] Plenty of times.

Jamie McAllan: We had a relief tube up in the cockpit. Sometimes it was easier just to go in our flak helmets. But at 20,000 feet that piss freezes solid in less than a minute. It's that cold up there. Shit. I'm talking 20, 30 below. One time we were on this long haul, I pissed in my helmet, I forgot all about it. We were just over the target. I put the helmet back on. We're doing this bombing run, dodgin enemy flak, and all of a sudden I started feelin something runnin down my face.

Jamie McAllan: Yeah, I thought I was hit.

Jamie McAllan: You ever miss it sometimes? Being over there. I don't mean being shot at, but sometimes, I actually miss it.

Ronsel Jackson: Yeah, me, too. Over there, I was a liberator. People lined up in the streets waiting for us. Throwing flowers and cheering. And here I'm just another nigger pushing a plow.

Henry McAllan: [mopping his brow; sighs] You better get a hurry along. We ain't gonna make it. Oh, we will. We have to. Take a break. Come on. My turn.

Jamie McAllan: [narrating] We will. We have to." That was my brother, Henry. Absolutely certain whatever he wanted to happen would.

I don't know, ]. ], ], ].

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.

Kevin Flynn: The Miracle...You remember. ISOs, isomorphic algorithms, a whole new life form.

Sam Flynn: And you created them?

Kevin Flynn: [Laughs; [w:Emergence|They manifested, like a flame.] No, no. ] They weren't really, really from anywhere. The conditions were right, and they came into being. For centuries we dreamed of gods, spirits, aliens, and intelligence beyond our own. I found them in here, like flowers in a wasteland. Profoundly naive; unimaginably wise. They were spectacular. Everything I'd hope to find in the system; control, order, perfection. None of it meant a thing. 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. Biodigital jazz, man. The ISOs, they were going to be my gift to the world.

Sam Flynn: So what happened?

Kevin Flynn: CLU. CLU happened.

Kevin Flynn: It was a coup. Tron, he fought for me. I never saw him again.

Sam Flynn: So why didn't you fight?

Quorra: He did.

Kevin Flynn: CLU fed on my resistance. The more I fought, the more powerful he became. It was impressive, really. And my miracle? CLU saw the ISOs as an imperfection, so he destroyed them.

Quorra: Flynn shared them with me. I've read them all.

Sam Flynn: [[w:Leo Tolstoy|Tolstoy; [w:Fyodor Dostoyevsky|Dovstoyevsky; [w:I Ching|I-Ching] Huh. Light reading. ], ], ]. "Journey Without a Goal." Must have a killer ending.

Quorra: [[w:Altruism|art of the selfless; [w:Jules Verne|Jules Verne] Flynn is teaching me about the ]. About removing oneself from the equation. But between you and me, ] is my favorite. Do you know Jules Verne?

Sam Flynn: Sure.

Quorra: [delighted] What's he like?

Kevin Flynn: Sam?

Sam Flynn: Long time.

Kevin Flynn: [hugs him] You have no idea. You're here. You're here.

Sam Flynn: I'm here.

Kevin Flynn: You're big.

Sam Flynn: [looks up and down at his father, bewildered] You're...

Kevin Flynn: [nods, and finishes his son's statement] Old.

Sam Flynn: So, you were trapped in here.

CLU: That's right.

Sam Flynn: And you're in charge.

CLU: Right again. Two for two.

Sam Flynn: So, can we just go home?

CLU: Not in the cards. Not for you.

Sam Flynn: [''Surprised''] Well, that's a hell of a way to treat your son.

CLU: [''Looks at Sam''] Oh, that. I'm not your father, Sam. But I am very, very happy to see you.

Sam Flynn: [CLU's helmet opens, revealing Kevin Flynn's face] Where am I? Am I on the grid? Who are you? Dad?

CLU: Sam. Look at you, man. Look at the size of you.

Sam Flynn: What am I supposed to do?

Gem: Survive.

Brian Chavez: I'm gonna miss the heat.

Don Billingsley: I'm gonna miss the lights.

Brian Chavez: You be perfect.

Don Billingsley: See you Mike.

Mike Winchell: See ya, Don. See ya, Chavo.

Mike Winchell: Did you think it was going to be this big?

Brian Chavez: Yeah.

Mike Winchell: Bullshit man.

Brian Chavez: I do.

Mike Winchell: You act like that. You think it's just a game. Something to check off on your list. Know what I think?

Brian Chavez: What's that?

Mike Winchell: I think you're scared just like the rest of us. But I think you're smart enough to see that one day when you look back from whatever big job or big house, or whatever it is that you got, that when you look back at this time, I dare you to beat it. I dare you.

Brian Chavez: It's just a game.

Don Billingsley: It doesn't feel like just a game to me.

Brian Chavez: So what's it feel like?

Don Billingsley: Feels like... feels like we're going to war.

Brian Chavez: You gotta lighten up, man. You're 17.

Don Billingsley: I don't feel 17. Do you feel like you're 17?

Mike Winchell: I don't feel 17.

Boobie Miles: Yo, Billingsley! You ain't never gonna have to worry about fumblin the football, you know why?

Don Billingsley: Why?

Boobie Miles: Cause you ain't never gonna get the ball. Your job's going to be blockin for Boobie; I don't care if your dad's sittin over there, cryin'!

Don Billingsley: [Attacks Boobie] YOU JUST NEVER SHUT UP, DO YOU?!

Boobie Miles: Where's your girlfriend at, Water Bug?

Chris Comer: What?

Boobie Miles: You mean to say you have no girlfriend, Water Bug?

Permian Assistant Coach: 5 minutes, boys.

Boobie Miles: You want to know why you have no girlfriend, Water Bug?

Chris Comer: Why?

Boobie Miles: You got the wrong shoes, man!

Boobie Miles: You got on white Adidas! Dude, everyone knows that the shoes to wear is Nikes! Adida can't hold a nickel next to Nike! Ask Ivory! Ask Preacher Man!

Ivory Christian: It don't matter what shoes you wear, Boobie.

Boobie Miles: C'mon, Preacher, bullshit!

Ivory Christian: Don't matter, man.

Boobie Miles: You know God made black beautiful. God made Boobie beautiful, black and strong...

Don Billingsley: [to Chavez] His mouth is getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Boobie Miles: ...And when Boobie knocks some punks out, Boobie is going to knock them out with black Nikes on his feet, now ain't that right?

Ivory Christian: I could knock you out in a pair of flip flops.

Boobie Miles: Yeah, well I'm going to knock them out with black Nikes on my feet. And I'm gonna smile when I do.

Don Billingsley: [To Charles, when he drunkenly throws his State Championship ring out on the side of the road; Stops the car and frantically looks for the ring amid the tall weeds by the road] What's wrong with you?! WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU?!

Don Billingsley: We're gonna get drunk, we're gonna get laid, and we're gonna win State, but not tonight.

Murtagh: (To Eragon) "I guess we're even then!

Murtagh: (About Morzan) A son doesn't choose his father. I hated that man till the day he died.

Murtagh: (About Saphira) Some friends can't be replaced. But luckily, some don't have to be.
