Oh, God. Yeah, thanks. Jannek's grant is from the NSA. How could you be so goddamn stupid?!? Two guys show up, say they're government, and you just buy it.

Liz: [upon seeing the data for the Air Traffic Control System]
Oh, my God.
Mother:
How is this possible?

Cryptography systems are based on mathematical problems so complex they cannot be solved without a key.

Jannek must have figured out a way to solve those problems without the key and he hard-wired it into that chip.

Turn it off.
Whistler:

I said turn it off.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - A Son's Plea for Independence and Understanding
John Prentice: [to his father]
You've said what you had to say. You listen to me. You say you don't want to tell me how to live my life? So what do you think you've been doing? You tell me what rights I've got or haven't got, and what I owe to you for what you've done for me. Let me tell you something. I owe you nothing! If you carried that bag a million miles, you did what you were supposed to do because you brought me into this world, and from that day you owed me everything you could ever do for me, like I will owe my son if I ever have another. But you don't own me! You can't tell me when or where I'm out of line, or try to get me to live my life according to your rules. You don't even know what I am, Dad. You don't know who I am. You don't know how I feel, what I think. And if I tried to explain it the rest of your life, you will never understand. You are 30 years older than I am. You and your whole lousy generation believes the way it was for you is the way it's got to be. And not until your whole generation has lain down and died will the deadweight of you be off our backs! You understand? You've got to get off my back! Dad. Dad. You're my father. I'm your son. I love you. I always have and I always will. But you think of yourself as a colored man. I think of myself as a man. Hmm? Now, I've got a decision to make, hmm? And I've got to make it alone. And I gotta make it in a hurry. So, would you go out there and see after my mother?

Richard Dadier:
Yes, I guess so...
Gregory W. Miller:
Besides, it would be kinda rough breaking in somebody new. Well, see you tomorrow Mr Dadier?

Blackboard Jungle - Morning Routines and Frustrations Among Friends
Pete V. Morales: [talking into a recorder in front of the class]
I get up at 7:30, go wash. But my stinking sister, she's still in the bathroom, so I can't get in.
Richard Dadier:
That's fine, boy. keep on talking.
Pete V. Morales:
So then I go to the stinking bathroom. I wash my stinking face. Then I eat some stinking sausages.
Artie West:
Louder, come on!
Emmanuel Stoker:
We can't hear you in the balcony.
Pete V. Morales:
So then I go down the stinking street with my stinking books, and then I meet this stink-face who lives near me. And he says: "You go to school, Pete?" I say, "You stinking right, boy!" So we walked to the stinking El, and wait for the stinking train. What do you think? The stinking train is late. So I gotta get into the stinking crowd. And that's why I'm stinking late to school, teach. How was I? Okay?
De Lica:
You sure stunk up that record, boy!
Richard Dadier:
That'll be enough for the day.
Artie West:
You gonna play it?
Richard Dadier:
No. Thanks for picking Morales. I'm sure you're his "friend".
Gregory W. Miller:
Sure enough, chief. Too bad you can't say the same.
Richard Dadier:
And just what does that mean?
Artie West:
Morales is a spic, that's what it means. Maybe you don't like spics.
Richard Dadier:
That will be enough of that, West.
Pete V. Morales:
What did I do, anyhow?
Artie West:
All right, sit down... spic.
Belazi:
You heard him, greaseball.
Pete V. Morales:
At least I'm no Irish Mick!
Richard Dadier:
I said, that will be enough! Now, you pick up that magazine, Belazi. Pick it up! I wanna get one thing very clear in this classroom.There's not gonna be any name calling here. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Now you understand that? All of ya!
Pete V. Morales:
I was just kidding.
Richard Dadier:
Yeah, I know you're just kidding. That's how things start. Like a street fight. Somebody pushes somebody in fun. Somebody pushes back, and soon you got a street fight with no kidding. That's the same way with name-calling. All right, West, look. You're of Irish descent. So is Murphy over there. You call him a Mick. He calls you a Mick. Suppose Miller called you a Mick. Is that all right? Then you call him a nigger.
Pete V. Morales:
I was just kidding.
Richard Dadier:
Well, stop kidding!
Artie West:
Sure, sure. Come on, Morales. Tell me all about your stinking sister!

You're not so tough without a gang, but you were tough that night in the alley, weren't you? Seven to two. That's about your odds, isn't it?
Artie West:
This time you get cut up!
Richard Dadier:
Yeah, the gang-up didn't work. You went to the principal with a story about race prejudice. You couldn't get rid of me that way. Then you started sending those foul letters to my wife. Didn't you? Didn't you, West? End of the line boy!
