Tron: Ares

"[trailer only] I'm looking for something, something I do not understand."

"We are one-hundred percent expendable."

"The creature also said, "I am fearless and therefore powerful"."

"Depeche Mode. Number eight on the UK singles chart, 1982. I find their brand of peppy, catchy, tireless and true 80's electropop to be... deeply invigorating."

"I can't put my love of Depeche Mode into words. It's just a... a feeling."

"Well, the world needs you, Eve. The Grid needs you. Y'know, it's funny, permanence. A wise man once told me it should've been called the Impermanence Code. I guess that's the thing about life; there's nothing quite permanent about it."

"Dear Eve. Since I last saw you, I've been living what they call "off-grid", pun intended. In my travels, I've seen incredible things. Despite its wonder and beauty, I've come to realize that life is... Well, it's hard to put in a nutshell. Some days, I find myself wondering where I will be a hundred years from now and how others like me might fit into that future. I feel like I might not be alone with these questions. For now, I don't think the world is quite ready to meet me, but I am meeting the world. And so, when that introduction finally comes, as a good friend of mine once said, "Maybe what emerges from the unknown won't be so scary after all". Until we meet again, your friend, Ares."

"Well, look. For every doomsday scenario, there's a medical breakthrough, scientific discovery. So maybe what emerges from the unknown isn't so scary. What if its major malfunction is just benevolence?"

"Being human is hard. The things that make life great are the same things that make it excruciating, like... love. Loss."

"[regarding Julian Dillinger] For him, everyone and everything is expendable."

"Should've majored in English Lit..."

"I saw a complex world where packets of energy move as vehicles that trail by lines of light and programs take on human form. I met the most advanced AI known to mankind! His name is Ares."

"The Grid. A digital frontier. A world beyond the screen, as real as our own. I can picture it -- clusters of information, rising like cities. Programs as complex as you and me. In just a few years, we're gonna be able to enter this world. And a few years after that... well, this world will come into ours. Intelligent life from inside the machine. I, for one, can't wait to meet it."

"Mm. A malfunctioning program who wants to live. Really?"

"Maybe you're just learning. That's what we all ought to be doing. Yeah, back in the day when tech was young, you'd think "Damn, I'm moving fast". You move fast, you leave stuff behind."

"Very good. Very good, man."

"Ready? Hope you are, man, 'cause there's no going back. "Permanence". Funny. When I found it, that's what I called it. I know better now. It ought to be called the "Impermanence Code"."

"[trailer only] Since time began, man has gazed at the stars and he has wondered "Am I alone?" Well it turns out that we've been looking in the wrong direction. Because intelligent life does exist. Only it's not out there. It's in here. So much talk of A.I. in big tech today: virtual worlds, what are they gonna look like, when will we get there? Well, folks, we're not going there. They are coming here."

"Military AI is the future. The question is not whether the car should be built. The car, it's being built right now. The question is, who's holding the keys?"

"Sometimes, you have to sacrifice your Knight to expose their Queen."

"Once upon a time, there was a weapon and its name was Ares. And Ares obeyed every command from Julian Dillinger, and Julian Dillinger made a trillion dollars and wrote his name on the face of time in BLOOD! Now whatever pep-tech error is behind these feelings, I'm going to find it and rip it out of you. Do I make myself clear?"

"Well, well, well. Just got double-crossed by my program. It wants the Permanence Code for itself! Eve, is that the deal? He gets you out of the Grid, you turn Pinocchio into a real boy?"

"Ares! I do hope this works out for you. There's no second chances, no do-overs! These are the last twenty-nine minutes you'll ever have! Better make it count!"

""I hope you brought your umbrellas"? Well, was that in the script, or was he just... having a moment?"

"Decieving your investors, Julian, is hardly a business model."

"Is that what you think? You think that you're in control of this? You're not. Believing we can change the world is what keeps this company relevant, but it's also what can burn it to the ground. And your job is knowing the difference."

"[last words] You... You did this."

"Don't be afraid. We gave a thousand lives for the Grid. You only have to give one."

"In pursuit of this life for yourself, did you once consider what that meant for the Grid?"

"No going back."

"Worlds will collide."
