Popular Dialogues

"Angela: Just think about it. Our whole world is sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer, everything: your, your DMV records, your, your social security, your credit cards, your medical records. It's all right there. Everyone is stored in there. It's like this little electronic shadow on each and everyone of us, just, just begging for someone to screw with, and you know what? They've done it to me, and you know what? They're gonna do it to you."

"Jack: God, we're pathetic, aren't we? Angela: Excuse me? Jack: Well, we're here. We're sitting on the most perfect beach in the world, and all we can think about is-... Angela: "Where I can hook up my modem?" Jack: Yeah, exactly."
