TRON: Legacy Quotes

Taglines The Game Has Changed.

Jarvis Greetings, programs! Oh, what an occasion we have here before us. Because your rumors are true. We do indeed have in our midst a User! A User. So, what to do? What does this User deserve? Might I suggest, perhaps, the challenge of the grid? And who best to battle this singular opponent? Perhaps one who has some experience in these matters. Oh yes indeed, programs! Your liberator! Your luminary! Your leader and beacon!The official subtitles say "leader and maker" but writer Adam Horowitz that "leader and beacon" is correct. The one who vanquished the tyranny of the user those many cycles before! CLU!

Sam Flynn What am I supposed to do?

Gem Survive.

Kevin Flynn Goodbye, kiddo...

CLU NOOOO!!!

CLU Greetings, programs! Together we have achieved a great many things. We have created a vast, complex system. We've maintained it; we've improved it. We've rid it of its imperfection. Not to mention, rid it of the false deity who sought to enslave us! Kevin Flynn!! Where are you now?! My fellow programs, let there be no doubt that our world is a cage no more. For at this moment, the key to the next frontier is finally in our possession! And unlike our selfish creator, who reserved the privilege of our world only for himself, I will make their world open and available to all of us. YES, TO ALL OF US! And whatever we find there, there, our system will grow. There, our system will blossom! Do this, prove yourselves, prove yourselves to me, be loyal to me, and I will never betray you! - Maximize efficiency, rid the new system of its imperfection! My vision is clear, fellow programs. Out there is a new world! Out there is our victory! Out there... is our destiny.

Kevin Flynn What do you say tomorrow we go to the arcade, and you can have a crack at the old man's high score? First game's on me.

Young Sam Can we play doubles? On the same team?

Kevin Flynn ...We're always on the same team.

CLU You knew I'd beat you. And still you did all this. For him? No...! No... Why?!

Kevin Flynn He's my son!

CLU You've been corrupted.

Kevin Flynn Sam?

Sam Flynn Long time.

Kevin Flynn You have no idea. You're here. You're here.

Sam Flynn I'm here.

Kevin Flynn You're big.

Sam Flynn You're...

Kevin Flynn Old.

Castor Where's your sense of humor, my friend?

Bartik Programs are disappearing, Castor. Soon none of us will be left. Zuse can unite the factions, foment revolution.

Castor Of course Zuse can do these things.

Bartik Grant me an audience.

Castor Your enthusiasm is intoxicating, my dear Batik, but Zuse's time is precious. We, shall, see. If you'll excuse me for a moment, I have to attend to something. But have a drink! Courtesy of the End of Line club!

Bartik It is happening.

CLU I'm not your father Sam. But I am very, very happy to see you.

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

Sam Flynn And you created them?

Kevin Flynn 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.

Sam Flynn Where am I? Am I on the grid? Who are you? Dad?

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

CLU Game on, old friend.

Taglines A Digital Frontier to Reshape the Human Condition

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

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 . . .

Young Sam Flynn You got in!

Kevin Flynn That's right, man. I got in.

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

Sam Flynn Huh. Light reading. ], ], ]. "Journey Without a Goal." Must have a killer ending.

Quorra 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 What's he like?

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 Well, that's a hell of a way to treat your son.

CLU Oh, that. I'm not your father, Sam. But I am very, very happy to see you.

Kevin Flynn You are CLU.

CLU I am CLU.

Kevin Flynn You will create the perfect system.

CLU I will create the perfect system.

Kevin Flynn Together we're going to change the world, man.

Sam Flynn ], ], ] ]. 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 We built a new grid for programs and users. Now, I couldn't be in there all the time, so I created a program in my own image that could think, like you and me. And I called him CLU.

Young Sam Codified Likeness Utility.

Kevin Flynn That's right. And CLU, Tron, and I, we built the system where all information was free and open. Beautiful. And then, one day, something happened. Something extraordinary. A miracle.

Young Sam What was it?

Kevin Flynn That'll have to wait til next time.

Rinzler I fight—for the users!

CLU I've been waiting a long time for this.

Kevin Flynn 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 the 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.
